491 Words
And after the wedding ceremony. I found out myself seating in the vacant seat. Mournfully watching my boyfriend graciously being with my bestfriend. They were both on their guest having a discourse to those who greet them. And one thing that break me into pieces while gazing them is that Elvis, gaily kissing my bestfriend for more than two times as what their guest requested. That time I want to disappear to ease the pain.
But Elvis suddenly take a glance at me. Later on, the two walk in my place. So, I wiped my dried tears.
"Congrats to the both of you", I uttered seeing no emotion from them. But this time Elvis can't glance at me.
"Thank you, Adaly", and Cathy embrace me acting like nothing happen. I can deem in her eyes a joyous in her heart.
"Adaly, we have something to tell you", Cathy said.
I gave her a bogus smile, "What is it Cathy? Do you have a request again? Tell me".
"It's a prank!", Cathy said.
My eyes get widen. "What do you mean?"
"It's a prank, Adaly", she giggle.
"You mean?", I cut my words and I stare at her tummy.
"Yes, it was all prank. I'm not pregnant, Adaly", Cathy said.
My sight get blurred as I heard it. I don't know what should I feel. Should I be happy because it was a prank or should I be wrathful for betraying me?
I wiped my dried tears on my cheeks and stand with firmness. Fighting this agony.
"Why did you do this to me? Plinano niyo ba ito?", I gazed at Elvis.
"Yes", Elvis undeniably said.
"I thought this would be the best path to lessen your heartache instead of saying the truth that I love your bestfriend than you. It's been a months that we have a secret affair. That's why we planned this.", Elvis added. Damn, I want to punch them for doing this to me.
"So, you think pranking me would be the best way to lessen the agony of my vein?", I clapped. Damn, denying the truth doesn't change the facts. Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie.
"How dare you to lie on me! I give up everything for you Cathy. Kaibigan kita. Bakit yung boyfriend ko pa? And you, Elvis! I don't know what worse; that you cheated on me, or that you cheated on me with my poisonous snake bestfriend!", I yelled.
"I'm sorry, Adaly", Cathy leaned on me.
"Stop it, Cathy. I tried to keep us together, while you were busy keeping secrets", I sobbed.
Then I madly glance at Elvis.
"You didn't just cheat on me; you cheated on us", pointing my tummy.
"You didn't just break my heart; you broke our future", and I touched my womb, felt sorry for my child inside my tummy. Yes, little they didn't perceive. I'm pregnant and the father is Elvis.
