Regaining Bonica's Love

Chapter 5

The one and only, Marshall.

The master of ceremonies started the programe pero ang atensyon ko ay nakatuon lamang sa walang laman kong plato.

I couldn't raise my sight because for sure, it will meet Marshall's lalong lalo na ngayong ramdam kong may nakamasid sa akin, and I hate it!

"So before anything else, can we hear some message from the parents and Maid of honor?" The MC suggested.

Nagbigay naman ng mensahe sina Auntie at Uncle. They were teary eyed giving messages to their one and only daughter which is now married.

Pagkatapos nila ay tumayo naman agad ang babaeng napag alaman kong bestfriend pala ni Key. She gave them a very heartwarming message that made me wonder if there will be someone to gave me one too if I were to be wedded eh wala naman akong masyadong close na babaeng kaibigan since I quite prefer being alone, saka I belong in different circles of friends kaya naman hindi ko matukoy kung sino talaga ang pinakabest para sa akin. I guess it's just Key. Suddenly I remember being very close to her when we were young pero kunh ikukumpara, mas close siya kina Marshall at sa kaibigan niyang maid of honor.

Matapos magsalita ng Maid of honor ay agad na napasa ang atensyon sa Best Man na magbibigay ng mensahe. I shifted from my seat and listened to Marshall's message.

"I know that everyone here might be thinking why I became the Best Man when in the first place, it was known that I was inloved with Key. Kayo nalang ang bahalang magtanong kay Arthus niyan. Nananadya yata eh.", He said with humor making the visitors laugh. Ilang segundo ang nakalipas bago siya nagsalita ulit.

"I only wish the best for you too. Thank you for making me realize that I was stupid to let someone slip away from me. May the both of you enjoy every moment of your life as a couple."

Nagpalakpakan ang maraming tao at siya naman ay bumalik sa kanyang upuan.

The programe continued and then we started eating. Habang kumakain, hindi naiiwasang pag uusapan ng mga pamilya ang business at personal na buhay pero pinilit kong hindi na makisali at kumain na lamang.

We heard a clink. It was the MC again catching our attention. He announced that all single women should gather for the bride will throw the flower.

Maraming nakisali pero nanatili lamang ako sa aking upuan.

"Why don't you join them hija? Hindi ka pa naman kasal diba?" My grandmother asked.

Umiling lamang ako at ngumiti pero hindi nakaligtas ang mapanuyang tingin sa akin ni Marshall.

"Scared?" He asked.

"Of course not!" Sagot ko at saka ibinalik ang tingin sa kumpol ng kababaihan.

Key was aiming to throw the bouquet and all the girls were anticipating pero walang nakakuha kasi hindi niya itinuloy ang pagtapon. It surprised me that she graced the hall and gave it to me.

"Ano ka ba Key, ayoko!" Pag alma ko.

"Sayo na yan. I'm sure that you'd be married next. Diba?" She said but then nang sabihin niya ang "diba" ay parang hindi para sa akin.

What does she mean by that?

Sa huli ay wala akong nagawa kundi tanggapin nalang ang bulaklak.

Sunod na tinawag ay ang mga kalalakihan. France immediately stood up. Marami ring iba pang tumayo at kasama na doon si Marshall na hindi tinatanggal ang titig sa akin kahit naka tayo.

Weird.

Nilagyan ako ng blindfold kaya hindi ko nakita kung sino ang nakakuha ng garter.

Naramdaman ko nalang na isinusuot na ito sa aking paa, at hinihila pataas.

Kinakabahan ako, at the same time excited sa kung sino man itong tao na nagsusuot ng garter sa akin ngayon.

I can hear the loud tease of the visitors requesting for a kiss. Nagulat man ay hindi ako umalma.

Hindi naman siguro mag titake advantage itong lalaki diba?

After placing the garter to my thighs, the guy gave me a peck on the cheeks at kasabay ng paglapat ng kanyang lsbi sa aking pisngi ay ang tunog ng pagkabasag.

Napatikhim ang maraming tao kaya naman ay tinanggal ko na ang aking blindfold.

Unang nakita ko ang lalaking nagsuot sa akin ng garter, pakatapos ay sa banda kung saan ako nakarinig ng basag na tunog.

Mula sa basag na basong nililigpit ng staff ay lumipat ang tingin ko sa nakabasag nito.

Okay...
