Zene's POV
"Amar, I can't believe that I am finally tying the knot with Vero. I'm waiting for this moment to happen." I said to my best friend, a smile appear on my lips. She was the only one who knew all about my craziness on Mew.
She is my problem absorber.
"I'm happy for you best friend, but please dont hurt yourself, don't assume too much." She said on me which is true. Vero's every move has its own meaning for me..
Vero's every simple smile, force or not, I felt like my surroundings turned beautiful.
We are here in Starbucks, we are waiting for Vero, today is our schedule for the fitting of our wedding suit. My parents dont want me to interfere on the preparations that's why they get a wedding organizer, but I insisted. This is my wedding. I should be hands on. Most specially Ive been dreaming for this to happen for a long time now.
"What took him so long? I cant leave you here alone, we don't have bodyguards with us. Your mom will kill me if I leave you here. Why dont you call him." Amari said in irritation.
We've already finished cups of frapee but Vero didn't show up.
I dialed his number and he didn't pick up.
"This is the last dial, if he wont answer, I will just call the couturier and set another appointment regarding on Vero's free time."
Amari maked face.
"It's up to you. Call him one last time, if nothing, then we'll go home."
Then I dialed again. I breathe deeply when Vero finally pick up.
"Hello, Vero? Where are you? We are waiting for you for our fitting now."
My forehead furrowed when I heard faint noises on the other line.
It is moans and groans.
I am not dumb for not getting what that was and what's going on the other line.
My heart was like punctured by hundreds of needles. The corner of my eyes heat up but I don't want Amari to see me cry.
I canceled the call then I breathe deeply and calm myself.
"Friend, let's go.. He can't come, something came up and he is occupied right now." I hide the fact.
"You're fiancé is annoying, he should've just texted us or called us so we dont waste time waiting here."
'He's busy in the arms of someone'
I said on my mind. I dont want Amari to have a bad impression on Vero, they are also friends.
I cleared my throat when i feel the lump of my tears forming in there, and I stand up. I dont want to make a scene here. That's just embarrassing.
"Let's go friend, I'll just call the designer at home."
Amari walk closely to me, I know why, for my safety. A lot of bad people wanted to get me for our wealth, like what happened before. I don't get out of our house unguarded, today I didn't take them with me because I thought Mew will be with us.
"Please sent me to our house friend." I said to Amari whose silently driving. I was silent for the whole ride, I cant talk or I might burst out crying.
We arrived safely in our mansion "Thank you, chat me when you got home." I wave at him then I go up to shower and change.
After taking shower, I got bored and I dont have something to do so I bake Vero's favorite cake. It's a chocolate lava cake.
When I finish I set the timer for the oven and I clean my mess then I sit on the garden.
"Sir Vero is here.. He's looking for you Sir." One of the servants told me.
"Tell him I'm here, and Neng check out the oven please.. Like the usual."
"Okay, Sir."
I sat properly. I saw him walk closer to me.
He is so handsome from head to toe. You can't find any flaws in him.
"Did you call me? I went to the meeting place and you are not there. I waited long time." he snapped.
"I called you not just once, twice, thrice but many times. The last time I called you seems like you were on the gym." I innocently said.
"It's none of your business." his sharp voice was like dagger that stabbed my heart.
"Then why are you here? To annoy me so I can back out of our wedding?"
"No need, I talked to my boyfriend and he agreed on this set up."
I bit my lips, my eyes watered and a sob rose on my throat.
"Tell me anything about the wedding. I will cooperate this time."
I just nodded, while my eyes was fixated on the Bermuda grass.
"Since we don't have something to talk about, I'm going."
"I baked your favorite cake.. You want me to get it?" I offered.
"No thanks.. We will eat outside. He hates waiting, I gotta go."
I am hurting. Maybe this is my karma on forcing him to marry me. But the pain I felt just vanish every time I saw him and I am happy.
"He hates waiting."
"He hates waiting."
"He hates waiting."
The tears I am suppressing to flow, poured from my eyes. Nonstop. Together with the sounds of the nocturnal insects... My cry and wails echoed the whole garden.
