Chapter 78: Chapter 78

"When do you plan to get married?" Vanessa asked suddenly, causing Stephen and I's eyes to widen.

"Marriage? Why did you ask Vanessa? Are you planning to mess with our wedding?" Stephen asked seriously and looked at him intently.

"It's not like that Stephen, I just want to know when."

"We haven't talked about that yet, Vanessa."

"Uhm, as far as I can see, you don't really seem like you're okay yet, I mean, congratulations..."

"What do you want to say? Straighten us up first."

"Alyana, Stephen, I have a request for you two. Can you make your wedding even simple, you can do it again next month or whenever you want... I would like to see Stephen marry you Alyana. .."

Vanessa held my hand and I stared at her, checking if she was joking or not.

"I'm being serious right now, I want to see you get married."

"If you want to see us get married, don't wait for when we want--"

"I-I'm leaving here, maybe in the next few weeks as long as I don't catch up for months. I want to see the two of you when I leave...even if it's just a simple wedding please?" It's like in a few seconds, her tears will start to fall.

"Okay fine, no problem." I said, it also hurts me a little when I see her cry. I don't know what I'm talking about!

"Thank you Alyana." Why should he say thank you?

"Can you get married tomorrow?"

"What? It's going to be bad tomorrow Vanessa!" He was quiet suddenly, I could feel his sadness.

"Is it really needed?" If you ask him a question, but he doesn't answer.

"Stephen and I will do something, maybe tomorrow afternoon... you said it was simple, didn't you?" When I repeated he nodded and smiled.

_

"Stephen did you notice that Vanessa was a little weird earlier?"

"It's always weird."

"No, it's not like that, it suddenly changed..."

"Maybe he's regretting it." He answered.

"Do you know where he's going?"

"I don't know we don't talk."

"Stephen! Take care of yourself, aren't you worried about him?" Stephen is annoying as if he doesn't care. One question, just one question for both of us here!

"Hayst! When I worry about that, what will you say, huh? You'll ask me why I'm worried, if I still love him like that? That's how you girls are, isn't it, you start a topic about don with our past girl and then when we talk you girls get angry huh?!" He spoke very fast, I didn't understand anything he said.

He sighed before speaking again. "He's fine, why should I worry?"

"Ahm, the wedding.. let's go to bed early. We have a lot to do tomorrow." I promised and would have gone to bed.

"Are you really going to agree to what he wants?"

"I made a promise Stephen, I'm not like you who make promises but don't keep them, I'm not like you." I even crossed my arms at the same time I fell in love with him.

"Great, you compared me right away."

"Let's do it, why don't you want to blame me huh!?"

"Of course I want but I also want the best wedding ever--"

"You still have the best wedding there, the other royal wedding, the others are like a wedding but what? They got divorced, it's good that the others didn't get married but it took a while. It's not really important, the marriage cannot be valid, it doesn't mean that two people are married that they will not be separated Stephen. For me, the most important thing is I love you, you love me, then the conversation is over!"

"You love Me? Does that mean you really forgive me as in?"

"Yes, I forgive you, what can I do, my heart is crazy for you. Take note, it's only my heart, not me!"

"Take note whose heart is that? Isn't it yours?" I scratched the back of my neck, he was right too.

"I don't know about you, I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep there because I'm going to crawl on you later--arayy! It's just a joke!" He moaned and rubbed his head.

"Are you mad at me huh! You're mad!" I slapped his arm.

"Oh my gosh! just tell me if you want to hold my arm, Alyana, don't hurt me."

"How are you feeling, Stephen, you can't--" I stopped because he suddenly pulled my hand and held it on his chest and slowly lowered it.

"W-What! Let go of my hand!" He's going to kill me with fear, just relax Alyana, you won't die yet.

"You've been wanting to touch it for a while, haven't you?" This question made me smile.

"H-Hey, you're right, you crazy man! No! Stephen, you're right, your stupidity makes my stomach hurt! It's wrong for you to think that you're ugly!"

I took my hand back and lay down. "I'm sorry," he said like a child and hugged me.

"It's so hot, Stephen, stay away from me a little!"

"It's really hot because I'm so hot." when it got bigger, I just slapped my forehead.

"Ah, it's not hot anymore, it's windy all of a sudden!"

***

I woke up early and looked at Stephen who was now still asleep, I just laughed because he was drooling.

"You really look like a child when you sleep, your face is very innocent when you sleep but when you're awake, it's a lot."

"I'm sorry, I didn't complain that when you sleep, your mouth is open." My eyes widened because he was already awake.

"You heard that." Lip biting.

"Because I have a nose, that's why I heard."

"Don't philosophize on me in the morning." He was hit on the head with a pillow.

"Ouch! The morning hurts you honey!" I stopped suddenly because he called me.

"Gosh, you're really honey, what are you excited about?" I looked at him.

"Can I punch your mouth to make you shut up?"

We left the room and saw mom cooking.

_

"Mom, Stephen and I are getting married this afternoon." I said while we were in the middle of eating.

All of a sudden, mom became upset, so did sister and brother. I was confused and gave them water one by one.

"A-How fast is it?" Mom asked.

"Ah, it's not really as in that serious, someone just made a request to us. We're getting married again in... uhm, when Stephen and I talk about it."

"Who made that request? He must be going crazy."

"Don't be like that sister, he's leaving here and he wants to see me and Stephen get married."

"It's okay, take care of your life, as long as you're just eating mine."

"Me too." Kuya Keil promised.

"Gosh, it's just food, okay, I'll feed you a pinakbet."

"That's it! Have you ever seen someone get married and get ready for it, huh?"

"Yes, even if it's just a pig, it's okay with us."

I didn't speak, I made them suffer. I'm the one getting married and then they decide what to prepare for the wedding food? There is no budget yet, so just vegetables first.

_

"Do you want us to call you mom and dad?"

"Don't make it simple and quick, maybe if you tell them they won't agree. it looks like they want a fancy wedding for us."

"Yeah, you're right! Especially since I'm the one getting married, they won't really agree to a simple wedding."

"Are we going to buy my dress?"

"I called Camille earlier, she will take care of your dress, I talked to her and I even had a hard time." I just nodded.

"Wait, are you and Camille okay?"

"Ahh, maybe we talked and he accepted that you are really fragile." Well, I'm not too fragile! just a little!

"John and Flyn are the ones who took care of the church and just the little decorations there." Stephen's language. "We're not going to make it legal okay? You just walk in the middle of it, we have a friend and I talked to him about it."

A few minutes later someone knocked on the door so I opened it.

"Vanessa,"

"Good morning Alyana." He hugged me and Stephen.

When he came inside, I was about to close the door but Camille suddenly came.

"Oh, this is the dress you're going to wear, what is it for? It's like you're getting married Alyana--oh, why is it here? Do you want trouble huh?!"

"Camille, he doesn't look for trouble." I weakly promised him and stopped him from rushing Vanessa.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Stephen and I are getting married today."

"What the f**k? Are you sure? Why didn't you inform me?"

"Eh, because we talked about it last night."

"Waah what a terrible plan you made, it was just last night! Are you exited like that Alyana huh? If only you weren't pregnant, I would think you were really excited about your honeymoon." He said angrily, but Vanessa suddenly stopped talking.

"Vanessa because she made a request to us."

"You bitch, that? Hey Vanessa, what did you eat huh?"

"Did I eat? ahm...s-sorry I forgot..." Vanessa held her head again while tightly closing her eyes.

It's just a joking question but why is he so serious?

"Is that crazy?" Camille whispered in my ear.

"Camille he apologized to me."

"Pfft sorry? Is that so-sorry? I think you're dreaming, Alyana."

"Camille," I looked at her seriously.

"Okay, sorry, I just can't believe it."

***

"You look beautiful Alyana." Vanessa complimented me on being able to wear this dress.

"I used to dream of wearing a wedding dress even if it was simple, it's okay with me as long as I marry Stephen." He said and wiped away your tears.

"Vanessa… do you have a problem?" I can't help but worry about his actions.

"Don't worry Alyana, I'm alright." He smiled at me but I could see in his eyes that he was hurt.

***

I clutched my chest and took a deep breath before getting out of the car. I'm nervous even though this is not my final wedding with Stephen.

I'm here outside the church, I see Flyn, John, Camille, Vanessa, Stephen and Father.

I slowly walked towards it while holding this flower.
