Chapter 20:
Alex's POV...
My mom would always call to remind me about fitting my gown today. She’s pretty much excited about it.
As in she would call me every other minute just to assure that I'll be on my way to the shop.
And when she got tired of waiting for me, she threatened to go on my condo and fetch me.
God, I don't stay there any longer. Andrew and I already lived in one roof and when she go to my place she'll find out about our set up.
Well, Andrew's nowhere to be found in the house. And where the hell is he anyway?
After last night that he professed his love for me? After he gave me that pear-shaped diamond necklace?
Disappearing act ang peg niya? Hmp! But I'll just deal with him later, I have to meet mom as soon as I can.
I called her and I told her to calm down and I'll meet her in an hour. Thankfully, she did not insist on going.
Phew. That was close.
I hurriedly went over the place because she might got bored and impatiently coome to my condo again.
"Mom," I exclaimed as I hugged her from behind.
"Hija, I thought you're going to be stuck on that high tower. Isukat mo na yang gown mo," she said as she spun around and kissed me.
Close kami ni mommy. As in super close, na para bang magbest friends.
Lahat sinasabi ko na sa kanya lalo na yung mga kaliit-liitang sikreto ko. Pero ngayon, marami na akong inililihim.
Nagui-guilty na ako. Kaso wala naman akong ibang choice e di ba? For sure magagalit siya, magagalit sila sa set up namin ni Andrew ngayon.
Mas lalo pa silang magagalit dun sa kasal namin sa Hong Kong. And I don't want any to experience their anger.
"Hija, are you with me?" she said.
Kanina pa pala siya salita ng salita and here I am drowned on my own world of lies and secrets.
"Yes mom?" I asked her.
"I said that you fit your gown and we'll see if it fits well. Para maremedyuhan kung may mali ba," she said excitedly.
Excited si mommy. Excited din naman ako e.
"Mom, no worries okay? Don't stress yourself that much. I designed this gown and I trust Colin's skills," I said to her and nodded at Colin.
Siya kasi ang coutourier ko at tiwala naman akong tama ang ginawa niya.
"I can't help but be as excited as a kid my baby Alex, ikakasal na ang anak ko. Ang aking Unica Hija," she said with misty eyes.
Aww.. Mom, you just don't know how I lied. It's not my first wedding. God, why? Nagui-guilty ako.
I just smiled at her then went inside the fitting room and slid on the white wedding gown.
While slidding on the gown, I closed my eyes and concentrated, trying to think. I can't focus.
Images of my mom, my dad, my kuya lingers. Shit. I've done something that will break their heart.
Well it could, if only I'll keep it as a secret. Yeah, I'll just keep it.
I can't open my eyes. I don't want to see my reflection on the mirror. Because all I could feel now is that I'm a bitch.
A bitch for making my loved ones fooled and by lying to them.
"Alex?" my mom called outside.
Psshhh. I must've stayed a little longer here. I breathed deeply and took all the courage to open my eyes.
And I hated what I saw.
"I'm..done," I said nervously.
Mangiyak-nhiyak na nga ako e. I could feel the lump on my throat. But I have to restrain these sobs.
When the curtains were drawn, two pairs of eyes admiringly stared at me.
What the.. Why is he here?
"Mom, why is he here?" I asked.
"Hija, you look beautiful on it. A lot more beautiful I mean. Am I right, Andrew?" she asked and nudged his elbow.
His eyes gleamed with love. His chinky eyes, his supple lips.
"Of course mom, she is. No doubt about her beauty," he answered. His eyes not leaving mine.
Ano ba yan, kanina lang para akong baliw na kinamumuhian ang sarili ko pero heto ako ngayon at na-starstruck na naman sa asawa ko.
Argh! Ang saya na sana e, kaso bakit kailangan ko pang alalahanin na may sikreto pala kaming dalawa?
I just smiled wearily at him and dragged my eyes at my mom.
"Hija, wag kang mag-alala. Di naman totoo yung pamahiing pag nakita ng groom ang bride na nakasuot ang gown ay di na matutuloy ang kasal," sabi niya.
Mommy talaga. Kung alam mo lang na ikinasal na kami kaya malabong hindi matuloy ang kasal namin. Kasi naman kahit di matuloy tong kasal na ito, ay kasal na kami. Sa Hong Kong pa nga e.
Erae, erase Alex. No need to worry. You won't break their heart if you won't say it to them.
"Babe, mom's right. No worries, okay? Hindi naman kita tatakbuhan," he said mischievously.
No worries ka dyan. Mom din pala tawag mo kay mommy. Hmp, gaya-gaya ka.
Alam ko namang hindi mo ako tatalbuhan e kaso hindi pa rin maalis sa akin ang mag-alala na baka magkahiwalay din tayo.
Ewan ko, hindi ko pa rin maalis sa isip ko na posibleng mangyari ang divorce. Sana naman hindi.
I smiled at the both of them and went down to hug him.
I needed support; my knees are too weak to support my stance.
"Miss me?" he teased.
I just nodded.
"Ah.. I thought hindi na kayo magkakasundo. Magaling talaga akong matchmaker. Osige aalis na ako nakakaistrb ako sa inyong lovebirds," tukso ni mommy.
"Mom, don't. Stay a little while. Please?" I plead at her.
"No, I'm done here. May aasikasuhin pa ako sa kasal niyo. Hijo, ikaw na bahala sa anak ko ah?" she said to Andrew.
He nodded.
She turned on her feet and then spun around.
"And one more thing, may aasikasuhin pa kasi kami ng mommy mo Andrew," she said again.
I kissed her cheek and hugged her. Then she walked outside the shop.
When I spun around, Andrew hugged me.
What the..
"Sorry babe, I'm just excited to see you in your gown. Please forgive me?" he pleads while he nuzzles my hair.
Sino ba namang hindi magpapatawad sa ganito ka-sweet na tao di ba?
"You're forgiven. Wait lang magbibihis ako," I said.
Bigla niya akong pinigilan.
"Why?" I asked in confusion.
"Let me do that," he said teasingly.
Aba. Loko-lokong asawa to ah. Hihi. Ang lande, siya daw magtatanggal ng wedding gown ko.
I pushed him.
"Hands off my dear husband. Do it on our wedding night," I teased.
Papasok na ulit ako sa dressing room ng bigla niya ulit akong pigilan.
"Don't. May pupuntahan tayo," sabi niya.
May pupuntahan kami? Saan naman kaya?
"Where to? So, if we're going somewhere I might as well change Andrew," I said impatiently.
"Easy babe, that's the point. Don't change," he said again.
Huh? Ano daw? Hindi ko gets? And then I saw his wardrobe. Oh my, he's on his tux.
Shit. It can't be.

Alex's POV...
I really don't have any idea what he's up to, but one thing's for sure: I'm getting giddy and tensed.
Once we're inside the car, a deafening silence reigned between us again.
What the hell Andrew? Can't you just talk to me for once? I have to know what you're up to!
I don't want to put everything in your care. Because I also want to be a part of what you're planning right now.
I want to know everything. I have the right! Damn it! Why am I ranting and cursing inside my head?
Why I can't say them out loud? Shit. This is what I'm afraid of.
When I fall in love, I usually agree with the one I'm in love with. No more buts and ifs. A yes will always be the answer.
And that's how heart aches and a pain comes in my life. Damn.
He cleared his throat to get my attention. I looked at him discreetly, eyeing him to find any answers.
But his face is blank, no show of emotions or anything. Just awhile ago, he was amazed seeing me and now, he just acts as if I'm not beside him.
Fuck it Andrew. Fuck it.
"Andrew Yohinori, stop the fucking car now!" I growled at him.
I threw my hands and pounded them in front of me.
I'm really mad. Fucking mad and pissed at him.
"Calm down Alex! What's the matter?" he asked. I could see that he's surprised at my vehemence.
"Stop the fucking car or tell me where the fuck are we going?!" I hissed.
"Is that what's eating you right now? The reason of your fury over me?" Is he said in counfusion.
"You won't tell me huh? Stop the fucking car or I'll jump outside! One.. two.." I said through clenched teeth.
I couldn't tell why I've been acting so sensitive this day. As in, super sensitive.
"Calm down pretty babe, okay? Calm down, we'll b heading to our wedding photo shoot," he said while sulking.
I calmed down at the last few words he said. So, it's our wedding photo shoot for today.
"I haven't said this to you because it would be a surprise but.. not anymore," he shrugged his shoulders.
He sulked and pouted. Well, a grade of A for me in ruining his surprise for me.
"Sorry," that's all I could mutter at the moment. I held his hand and he smiled.
Right in that moment, I knew I'm already forgiven.
When we arrived at the place, my eyes watered with the luscious vast greens of land and trees around the area.
"Wonderful isn't it?" he whispered to me.
Nakiliti naman ako dun sa bulong niya.
I just nodded and gave him a peck on his cheek.
His eyes went wide and his mouth twitched slightly.
Then the photographer went to us and told us to get ready. Ako namn itong si aligaga, na-excite masyado at hinila si babe sa may harapan ni kuya photgrapher.
I made faces at the camera, syempre di pa naman umpisa ng photoshoot. Stretch-stretch muna.
"Pssshh.. Just awhile ago you've gone mad and now you're being playful. What's with you pretty babe? Are you bipolar? You're being too sensitive then sweet the next," he said.
He has a point. Well, I also ask that to myself but I can't explain what's happening to me.
Basta nararamdaman ko na lang na galit ako. Madali akong magalit ngayon. Umiksi ang pasensya ko, yun lang ang masasabi ko for now.
Reason? Hindi ko pa alam sa ngayon. Baka stress lang masyado kaya ganun.
"Am not, please drop that. Please babe?" I plead to him and hugged him.
"Okay, for you pretty babe. I love you so much to have prolonged that petty argument," he said as he kissed the top of my head.
Oh so sweet. I'm in heaven. *.*
“I love you too babe," I responded as I hugged him tighter.
I won't let go. I love him so much to do that.
Then the photographer called out for us. Argh! He spoiled our lovey-dovey moment. Wrong timing ka po kuya! Hmp!
We went to the spot where he wanted to take a great picture.
We posed the whole time. I enjoyed it. Kaso nakakapagod.
Ganito pala yung feeling ng malapit ka ng ikasal no? A little bit giddy and a lot more tensed.
Before the photo shoot ended, he did something unexpected in front of the public eye.
"Pretty babe," he called.
I turned to face him with my creased brows.
"Huh?" I asked. And before I could ask him again, his mouth descended on me. Crushing my lips into a demanding kiss.
Well, kisses like this weren't that much of a deal to me. Actually, I love them. I'm addicted to his kisses.
But that kind of scandalous kiss that should only be seen and be for our private session, it became a view for the public. Gosh!
I blushed but kissed him back. Eh natangay ako. Ikaw kaya halikan ng asawa ko! Ai, wag!
Akin lang pala siya. Lahat-lahat sa kanya!
Okay? Is that understood?
Andrew's only mine, mine alone.
A/N: Ang lame ne? I'm still mourning and wailing about the sudden death of my favorite Math Professor at UP. Ang kwela kasi niya. Nung first year nga akala ko student sya e, tapos nagulat na lang ako ng pagtuntong ko ng second sem e sya pala ColAlg prof ko. Grabee, multi-talented yan. Up Chorale Adviser and Conductor din yan. I dedicate this chapter to you Sir D!! You're in good hands now and I know the angels up there sings the sweetest songs with you now.. Sayang yun na pala last words mo saken at last time na magkikita tayo physically. Dahil emotionally and physiologically, nakikita pa kita serrr! Okay, so much for drama. Pag-pray niyo sya my dear readers! :))
