Chapter 32: Chapter 32
----
Margaux (Xyna's part)
WHEN Vince and I arrived at the reception we were greeted by mom and dad, Liam, Grail, as well as Vince's parents Aunt Zia and Uncle Drake.
“Finally! Our newlyweds arrived!” Liam said. We chuckled, and then take our seat.
“Oh, I'll remind you that even if you're already married, we forbid you to do things unnecessary. Finish your studies first because you're only in your 3rd year of college,” Dad reminded.
We smiled and said. “Yes, dad. We promise”
“Bro, I didn't know you're strict. It doesn't suit you, you know, haha” Uncle Drake teased.
We laughed even more when he patted dad on the shoulder.
“But, Lander is right. Please, don't make a child yet. We don't want to look old yet” Aunt Zia jokingly said.
“Yes, mom! Haha” Vince laughed at his mother.
“I can't help but to feel nostalgia. Time flies very fast. It seems like yesterday we're only kids and just messing around and playing together. Then time flies, we were already teenagers, Drake and Lander both liked Arrianne. Who won't be fall in love with this bestfriend of mine, she is so nice, so kind and beautiful! I remember she is the campus sweetheart, while I was just a common student. Women are so jealous of her because of the attention she is getting, because many men or should I say all the men in the campus are obsessed with her. That includes the two stupid bestfriends named Lander and Drake, that even got into an almost 2 decade fight, because my bestfriend chose Lander! And now in a snap of an eye, our children's already married. And hey, Drake! You're probably not feeling bitter 'bout them anymore, are you?!” Aunt Zia asked Uncle Drake. Right! I remember, Uncle Drake always felt bitter 'bout my parents, that even her wife—Aunt Zia needs to endure the coldness of their relationship.
Uncle Drake smiled and put his arm around Aunt Zia. Yiie! Now I'm thrilled!
“Not anymore, I've finally seen my life with you” Uncle Drake smiled and winked at Aunt Zia. And I saw Aunt Zia blushed like a teenager, that made them teased Aunt Zia, while I was just smiling. I'm really happy now not only for Aunt Zia, but for all. They finally became friends again.
“Y-You— Drake! You've become a sweet talker now, huh? It's like in the past you didn't even pay attention to me because you're still trapped in your past! And now you're saying sweet word like that!”
“I-I'm sorry, love. I'm sorry because it took time for me to find out that you're really the one I love” Aunt Drake sincerely said while smiling sweetly at Aunt Zia.
“Yeah, it took a very long time! You're lucky because I was patiently wait for you for just almost 2 fucking decades! You almost got late, mister. I was already planning on giving up on you!” Aunt Zia said wand rolled her eyes.
Vince suddenly turned to me.
“I love you, my wife” he said. My heart skipped a bit.
“I love you more, my husband” I smiled sweetly and intertwined our hands.
We once again turned our attention to our parents who were busy laughing as they continued to talk about their pasts.
Later, we girls were called— mom, Grail, Aunt Zia, Pat who had just arrived, and of course me—the so-called bride. We will have our special number for the ending of the movie.
We went to the mini stage and started dancing when the music started. It's just instrumental so we haven't sung yet.
'Alive'
By: Krewella
(Instrumental)
“Let's make this fleeting moment last forever
So tell me, what you waitin' for?
I'm gonna keep it frozen here forever
There's no regretting anymore” Grail take the part of the song!
"It's worth to wait, even so far away
I'm making the night mine until the day I die
No light to break when you're hangin' by fate” Pat sang. The next is already my part.
“You know what it feels like when you're dancing blind
All alone just the beat inside my soul
Take me home where my dreams are made of gold
In the zone where the beat is uncontrolled” I sang.
“I know what it feels like
Come on, make me feel alive!
Feel alive...” we sang together in unison.
“Meet me under shining lights
I've been waiting right here all my life
Feelings you can't deny that you're living
Open up your eyes” Aunt Zia sang. The next is mom's turn!
“And I just wanna sink into your crazy laughter
Come on make me feel until the pain don't matter
Every second here makes my heart beat faster
Finally think I found what I'm chasing after” mom. We'll sing in unison again to the next part.
“All alone just the beat inside my soul
Take me home where my dreams are made of gold
In the zone where the beat is uncontrolled
I know what it feels like
Come on, make me feel alive!
(Feel alive...)
Come on, make me feel alive!
(Feel alive...)
Come on, make me feel alive!
(Feel alive...)” we finished.
Harry, Aunt Drake, dad, Liam and Vince also went to the stage and we posed together woth a happy expression.
“Cut!”
We settled down when Director Benj said that. We went down to the stage.
Smiling and clapping, he approached us. “Congratulations to all of you, we have finished another film. I congratulate you all because your acting was impressively beautiful and excellent. Words can't say how good you all are! I'm proud to all of you” Director Benj gladly said while giving us all a hand shake.
“Thank you, Director Benjamin” we said in unison.
“Thank you too. It is an honor to work with you all,” they all smiled at him widely, while I just gave a faint smile.
“All right, change your clothes,” We complied.
I carried my bag containing my clothes I was and headed to the women’s restroom.
This is also where other women go to change their clothes. Of course, as if they'll go in a men's restroom right? It's only just for men.
When I finished changing I left immediately. I don't have time for chitchatting.
After a while, the others came out and happily said goodbye to Director Benj. So am I.
“Shall we celebrate?” Chaine suggested. They all agreed except for me. You know I'm the biggest kill joy of all time, right?
I don't hate celebrations, but I also don't like it. They would just drink alcohol and talk nonsense. I also can't get along with them talking about their shitty lives, I might just feed them with my sarcastic words.
“No, I'll pass” I said.
“O-Ok-Okay” the girl who acted Dwyne's so called sister— Grail's said.
'I can't remember her name. I'm also bad at remembering names and faces that I don't actually care. You can't also blame me, I don't really talk to them because I felt no need to.’
“A-Ah, me too!” Dwyne said while raising his hand.
Why is it? Does he want to be with me? Bruh, dream on Xyna. You're just imagining things, hrr.
I just shook my head and turned my back on them. And I saw Dwyne followed me.
