Chapter 29: Silent

Morde's POV

"It's your best friend's wedding, but why are you cold and grumpy, Morde?" my mom asked while fixing my bow tie.

I groaned when I felt that she tightened the tie on my neck. "Why are you quiet there? Are you sad because Desmond will be ahead of you to get married?"

I rolled my eyes. It's not even a real wedding. I thought the wedding would be canceled because of what happened, but I was wrong, and here I am, being the best man and not the groom.

My mom is already dressed and also my father, who will also attend Desmond's wedding. It feels like I don't want to go to the wedding, but I have to because my friend is expecting me to come.

"Humanap ka na kasi para naman may apo na ako," pangungulit sa akin ni Mom at lumayo pagkatapos niyang ayusin ang bow tie ko.

"Stop rushing me, Mom. Hindi naman masama ang loob ko dahil mas mauunang ikasal si Desmond at correction, arranged marriage lang 'yun," pagtatama ko.

I dreamed of myself as Eliza's groom, but it ends up that my best friend will marry the woman I loved. Eliza chose to put herself in a relationship that is full of pretending instead of being true.

"Kahit na, ikakasal pa rin ang kaibigan mo ngayon atsaka bakit ba ganyan ang pananalita mo? Mali ba ang gising mo?"

I sighed and looked at the mirror, trying to gain my sense. I should stop being grumpy because it's Desmond's wedding, and I know he wouldn't like that I'm being cold and intimidating to the visitors.

I know that Desmond is in love with Eliza, and so I am. We fell for the same women, and even if I avoid it just for his sake, I still can't stop it. I was longing for Eliza but it looks like I have to control myself.

Her surname will change into Miliano and not mine. The woman who I dreamed of being married to me will take her vows with another man.

"Hayaan mo na lang ako, Mom. Mawawala naman 'to kapag nandoon na tayo sa simbahan," pagpapalusot ko.

Maliit lang na simbahan ang pinili nila para sa kasal. Mga piling bisita lang ang dadalo dahil sinigurado ng mga magulang ni Desmond na hindi magugulo ang kasal dahil sa media.

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Parehong-pareho talaga kayo ng tatay mo." Tuluyan na siyang lumabas ng kwarto kaya naiwan ako.

Focus, Morde. Please don't do this to yourself. You don't want to hurt your friend, right?

A sigh escaped from me as I left the room. Nakita ko na si Daddy at Mommy na nasa sala at handa nang umalis. Bumaba naman ako dala-dala ang coat maging ang susi ng sasakyan ko.

"Nakapagtataka na pinilit pa rin nilang ituloy ang kasal kahit na may problema ang Fontanilla. 'Yung Eliza, hindi ba siya 'yung nakulong?" tanong ni Daddy.
