BRYX's POV
Its almost time for Veels birthday party, yet I am still laying on my bed thinking if I should go or not. 'Cause I know, that this day my heart will be taken away completely.
If I had been brave enough to tell her. If I had been strong enough to break the friendship we had. She wouldn't be taken away. She might be mine. I won't be shattered.
After an hour or so, I decided to still come. I decided to see her one last time. When I arrive at the entrance of the venue, I already see our friends Mark and Vince.
Vince was holding a glass of wine while Mark was eating. When they see me coming, Mark stood up and do our hand shake, while Vince stay where he is and I am the one who go to him to do our hand shake. I sat beside Mark and get a glass of wine from the server who's roaming around the venue.
I was eating Marks Chips when he suddenly speak. "I thought you won't come?" he asked Mark is the only one who knew what feelings I have for Val.
"I thought so too. But I don't want to miss this one!" I said and drink.
"Oh! Someone wants to torn his heart to pieces!" he exclaimed.
Causing Vince to look at our direction. With a form of frown forehead.
"Whose heart?" he asked curiously.
I glared at Mark giving the you're so nosy look. But all he do was to make a peace sign beside his left cheek.
"Its nothing Vince. Go on with your life there!" he said in a mockery way.
Vince look at us alternately, before shrugging his shoulder and continue to roam his eyes around.
Hours has passed and someone come up to the stage. She tap the mic before speaking.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" she paused, And gained a responses to the guest. "Today we are here to celebrate the 20th birthday of Mr. Mm Veels Rodriguez. The Son of Mr. Anthon Mico Rodriguez and Mrs. Anma Mitchy Rodriguez. But before we call our celebrant may we call on his parents to give a warming message to their son." she said, as Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez come up to the stage. And take the mic from her.
"Good day everyone, I hope you are all having a pleasant evening." said Aunt Anma. "As we all know, today is our sons 20th birthday. Well he doesn't want to have any birthday party at first, but he loves me so he can't say no!" Aunt Anma jokingly said, that gained laughs of every guest.
"Well...I know Son you already heard this a thousand times, but I still want to say it. I love you always and forever. Even if the skies fall and lands torn to pieces. Even if you soon will built your own family, you will always be my baby boy, my little bumpkin, my little spinach. Given how reckless and Bad boy you are, I will be always here to knock some senses in your head. I will punch your face if ever you become so full of yourself again!" Aunt says as she handed the mic to Uncle Mico, while she's wiping her tears that is trying to escape.
"Well forgive my Wife here for being so emotional!" Uncle mico says before helping his wife to wipe the tears. "Son, look what you've done to your mom. You always makes her cry!" uncle mico jokingly says to his son.
I look at the direction where Veels was sitting and there I saw HER. She's happily laughing by his side. She's smiling ears to ears, while looking at him with admiration and love.
It should have been me, If I've been brave enough. It should have been me making her smile and I should have been in the direction where her eyes at, full of love and admiration. That should been mine... only if Veels wasn't there, I wish he was gone.
I shrug my head off, to take away what I've think. And drunk straight my drink. After that I heard Uncle Mico called Veels to the stage, and I look back. He was walking together with Val. My Heart and my everything.
He was careful like as if he was holding a precious gem in his hand, which is actually are. Val is the rarest and purest gem, anyone could ever met.
"Thank you everyone, especially to my parents, for this wonderful evening. " He said full of sincerity. "As we all know today is a especial day to me, not just because its my birthday but also a very special occasion to me, a precious one indeed! I was once known as play boy/bad boy, I have dirty past and I admit that. Most of you, I'm sure, know where my reputation stands..."
This is it...my precious gem will be completely taken away. But its alright I know he will treat you right. I know he will love you with all his might. I know he will cherish you, more than how I cherished you.
Flys Valentine Corpuz your my greatest gem, but now I have to let my best man take care of that. And I know you will be happy with him.
"But someone change me, someone believe that I can change. Someone believe that I am capable of loving someone wholeheartedly. That even I have the dirtiest past she ever met, she believe that I can change. She never get tired of reminding me how good man I am. And I kind and thoughtful I am. I never believe in love, but when she came she made me believe in those stupid cupid thing, and trust me I I never knew I was that clingy back then." he laugh. "And that girl is right here beside me!" he said while looking at her full of love and admiration, just the way how Val look at him.
"So I want to make this evening a very, very special one. I want you all to witness our love.." He turn his body towards her direction, and slowly bend down his one knee and get the box in his pocket and slowly open it. There they saw a ring, a simple one like how Val dream it.
"Flys Valentine Corpuz, I know this is too early. But I will still wait, I just don't want to lose you in anyway. though I know I won't given how addicted you are to me. But I still want to close the door to every man who will think that they can snatch you away from me, that you are mine. Val, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" he nervously asked. And everyone was silent, everyone is attentive to whats the bride to be will say.
At the back of my mind I am wishing that she would say no. But I know, she won't. 'Cause I know how much she love him. Minutes had passed, there is still no response.
"Val?" Veels asked nervously, as he look at Val.
"Yes! Yes I will!" she exclaimed with excitement.
And then there is the end...for my heart. I will always Love you from behind Val.
Many of the guest congratulated them, before they can arrived to where we are.
"Bryx!!!!!!" she shouted before throwing herself to me. And I gladly catch her.
"Congratulation baby!" I said and kissed her forehead.
"Hey, dude she's my wife back off!" veels jealously says and slightly push my shoulder off.
"Not yet dude, she's still my baby!" I teased. "Baby look, he's hurting your best friend!" I said to val, trying to look pitiful.
"Love, stop bullying Bryx!" val said in warn tone.
"You call me love, yet you side with him? How cruel is that!" veels replied
"Baby, I think you should not marry this ass!" I teasingly said. just to pissed veels
"Shouldn't I?" Val tag along with tease.
"Hey that's not fair! I am your soon to be husband, yet your still side with him!" veels said in a pitiful tone.
And there where the sweet moment started. I am happy, at least my heart will be taken care off by someone who will love her wholeheartedly.
"You okay man?" out of the blue Mark asked.
"Yeah, 'Cause I know she will be happy!" I said. with a genuine smile.
Hours of laughter seems to be minutes. We tease and tell jokes to each other. We are not bothered by the time, when suddenly Veels stood up and says they have to go somewhere. So we said goodbyes before they make there way.
And I silently says goodbye to my heart. I hope in our next life I will be brave enough and strong enough to tell you everything.
Hours has passed since Veels and Val leave. When suddenly Aunt Anma came to us, with a tears keep falling from her eyes.
"Where's Veels? Where's my son? Tell me he's here right!" She says in a more like pleading way. As if begging us to say that her son is safe.
"They left Hours ago Aunt! Why?" Vince is the one to answer. But with that answer of his, became a bomb to Aunt. That cause her to cry more. And Uncle Mico came rushing to her.
"Uncle what Happened?!" Mark asked curiously.
"They had an accident!" with that word of his became my bomb... My heart had an accident.
