Paint Of The Enchanted Nights (Marchero Series #1)

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Natawa nalang ako sa itsura ni Manuel dahil gusto niya talagang makita ang mga susuotin ko. Nakabusangot pa ito at panay buntong hininga. Tapos na kase siyang mamili at magfitting ng tuxedo niya kasama si Cocon, they're playing now in Cocon's room.

"This is the one..." I almost lost my breathe for a second when I saw myself in the wide mirror.

I saw Gwyneth and my mother's reaction, they are both speechless and mesmerized on the gown.

"Hija! you look stunning!" masayang sabi ni mama habang nakahawak sa bibig at lumalapit sakin.

"I want to get married too!" maarteng sabi ni Gwyneth at yumakap sakin ng mahigpit.

"I'm sure after wedding mo, may kapatid na si Cocon." dugtong niya at tinaasan ako ng kilay.

"Stop it!" madiin kong pagkakasabi sa kanya. Nandito pa naman si mama at nahihiya tuloy ako. Lalo pa nila akong tinukso at nang mamula ako ay inirapan ko silang lahat. Hindi sa ayaw ko masundan ang anak naming si Cocon, kung may dadating man na another blessing ay willing kami but It's just that, I want to spend more time with the three of us. Marami pa kami dapat i-catch up.

Gwyneth prepared a bachelorette party for me in the nearest bar here in Constancia and also Manuel is also having a bachelor party in the Mansion. Adriel suggested it at alam ko naman na para lang din iyon sa kanya, that brute is a fucking womanizer!

Hindi kami pwedeng magkita ni Manuel because tomorrow is my wedding day, they said it's a myth that bride and groom shouldn't meet before they marry each other. Forbidden daw iyon at baka hindi matuloy ang kasal o ano man na pamahiin. Nagalit pa nga si Manuel kasi sabi niya itutumba niya raw kahit sino basta haharang sa kasal namin. Tawang tawa ako sa itsura niyang seryosong sinasabi iyon.

Well, wala rin namang kasing masama kung susundin namin iyon atsaka wedding jitters din. I'm a bit afraid and for real? hindi ko rin alam bakit basta ganto daw kasi sabi nila kapag ikakasal, kinakabahan. Kaya tinuturing ko na lamang normal ito. Iniisip ko rin na baka naman hindi kaba yung nararamdaman ko excitement or unnamed feelings na positive. Ayoko mag-isip ng negative para bukas dahil napakahalagang araw sa akin n'on. Ayoko sirain 'yun sa pagiging nega ko, duh!

They blindfolded me and let me sit in a sofa chair. I heard everyone is giggling and sexy song roamed around the corner of the room. They start to scream and laugh. Damn! I can't believe this, gusto kong magpalamon sa lupa. Nakikita ko na ang sarili kong namumula ang mga pisngi. Nakakahiya!

Gwyneth removed my blindfold and they popped a bottle of champagne and confetti.

They hired men to dance! Tawa sila ng tawa dahil sa reaksyon ko. I mean? can they blame me? Hindi ako sanay makakita ng ibang katawan maliban kay Manuel.

Napangiti ako bigla. although, he's kind of possessive and acts manipulative before i also know for a fact he is no longer like that. he change and I can see it. hindi na iyon tumitingin ng masama sa kausap kong ibang lalaki maliban sa kanya. I know he loves me so much and I feel so overwhelmed when I'm one of the reason of his positive changes.

They dance in front of me and sit on my lap, I push them a bit since It's really awkward and I feel like I'm cheating on Manuel. I placed my hand on the upper part of my black satin dress because they will see my lingerie If I move a lot.

They are all wearing a white satin dress.

They all look like an angel but doing evil deeds.

When the music stopped, Gwyneth instructrd the dancers to get some wine and come back when they are called. Tumayo ako sa upuan at pumunta sa kanila.

"You looked so scared watching them." natatawang sabi ni Gwyneth. I rolled my eyes on her and pull the strand of her hair then chuckled.

I looked around and I saw Magui already drinking her first champagne, when she glanced at me, she walk towards me and gave me a hug. I didn't expect it cause I know her, she's not a clingy person. I tapped her back.
