Gage's POV

It's 5:21 pm, ng ng nagising ako sa pag s siesta ko. I saw Sean sleeping. I decided to go to the field, kung nasaan yung mga booths.

Until now wala pa rin kaming klase kasi nga na stress daw masyado yung mga estudyante.

Nung dumilim na nakita ko si Sean na andito na din sa field.

"Gage, tara,"aya niya sa akin.

"Where are we going?" I asked, but he didn't bother to answer me.

He brought me to the marriage booth.

"Yuck bro, hindi tayo talo,"Sabi ko sa kanya.

"Alam ko."

"Ano ginagawa natin dito?" Tanong ko at nagkibit balikat na lang siya at tumingin sa right side niya.

"You'll be so dead," sabi ni Cacey sa mga kaibigan niya, habang nag pupumiglas.

"Condolences," sabi naman sa kanya ni Hadlie.

"What is going on?" I asked Sean.

"Now finally the bride and groom are here," sabi nung gumaganap na pari dito.

"Sean, you didn't tell me that you're getting married with Seabyl," sabi ko sa kanya.

"Very wrong bro," sabi naman ni Sean sa akin.

"You're going to get marry with Cacey," dagdag niya. Pina suot sa akin yung coat sabay tulak sa akin papunta dun sa may altar.

"This is very wrong, this is worst than death,"-sabi ko sa kanya habang nagpupumiglas.

"It's not rocket science,"-sabi sa akin ni Sean. Mas gusto ko pang gumawa ng rocket science, kahit abutin pa ko ng ilang taon, kahit alam ko hindi ako pinaka matalinong tao sa mundo kaysa ipakasal ako dito kahit ba kunwa kunwarian lang to. Jokes are half meant.

"Hey,"-sigaw ni Cacey kaya napatigil si Sean sa pagtutulak sa akin. "Gage you should walk the aisle and I will be the one who wait, go back there."

Bago pa siya pumunta dun sa may altar nagsimula na yung tugtog

My Love Will Never Fail You by Marie HInes

Take a walk in the park

She started walking

Holding hands in the dark
Steal a kiss beneath the stars

Naglakad ako ng padabog. Sino bang hindi maiinis? Ipakasal ka daw sa babaeng kinaiinisan mo.

My heart beat fast as I looked at you

Nakakatakot naman kasi tong babae na toh.

And I could tell yours was racing too
We fell at once, and never looked back

"May tutol ba sa kasalan na ito? Kung meron man, maari bang itaas niyo ang inyong mga kamay,"-sabi ng pari.

Sabay namin tinaas ni Cacey ang kamay namin, tumingin naman kami sa likod at kami lang dalawa ang tutol, ibig sabihin hindi matutuloy ang kasal? Ang saya naman!

"Nakita niyo naman silang dalawa,"msabi nung pari sabay tingin sa mga nanonood sa amin. "May pagkakasunduan, ibig sabihin magkakaroon sila ng matibay na pagsasamahan, kaya tuloy ang kasal." This priest is crazy.

I swear to always fight for us, and

I swear that we're not done yet

I swear no one can touch this love, oh
I will make you, I will make you mine
For always

"Do you take Gage Alexavier Rafferty as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" Tanong ng pari.

"I don't," sagot agad ni Cacey.

See I dont believe in chance
I think its the choice we make, oh

"Do you take Samuela Cacey Foster as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I don't." mabilis na sagot ko.

"You may now kiss the bride." Anong klaseng wedding toh?

"Father, sagot po namin I don't eh bakit tuloy pa din?" Tanong ni Cacey.

"Kasi nagkakasundo kayo," sabi naman nung pari sa amin. Saan ba nila kinuha to?

Cacey's POV

Sinetup kasi kami neto nila Hadlie eh, humanda siya sa akin mamaya.

"Kiss kiss,"-sigaw nung mga nanonood sa amin.

Nakita ko naman si Gage na ayaw niya talaga, kahit naman ako, I know what to do.

Tinaas ko ng ka onti yung dalawang kamay ko at hinawakan ko ang magkabilang pisngi niya.

Nakita ko naman na tinignan niya yung dalawang kamay ko, "Red alert, red alert," sigaw niya habang pinipilit wag tumingin sa akin.

I squish his face, onti ko ng nilalapit mukha ko sa kanya, takot na takot.

*Mwah*

Yes I gave him a peck on his lips, buti na lang talaga lagi ako nag m Mint, after ko siyang i kiss nag spray ako sa mouth ko ng breath spray. Pero habang ginagawa ko yun he faint, sinalo naman siya agad nung pari at nagsilapitan ang mga tao para paypayan siya.

How to kill Gage Alexavier Rafferty? Kiss him. Kiss is the most powerful thing in the world.

"Divorce paper,"-sabi ko kayla Hadlie.

"I think we must bring him to the clinic," sabi ni Tyler.

"Just give him some water,"msabi ko.

"O."-Sabay abot ng paper and water jug sa akin ni Jayla. After kong pirmahan yung divorce paper. Pinatabi ko yung mga taong nakaharang kay Gage para makalapit ako sa kanya, pag lapit ko sa kanya, binuksan ko yung water jug at ibinuhos sa mukha niya.

"See? He's awake,"-sabi ko sabay pakita nung divorce paper.

"Sign here,"-sabi ko sa kanya. Binigay ko yung ballpen pati yung paper at pinirmahan naman niya ito.

Gage's POV

While I'm running I heard my name coming from inside of the shack, then I stop, I decided to eavesdrop.

"We get Gage here. Therefore we can have moments with him!"

"Sounds good."

"But how?"

"Let's make a card and pretend that you or me as admirer."

"Do you think it will work?"

"He's a misogynist, he doesn't like that."

"Then, what now?"

Sige pagplanuhin niyo lang, okay lang talaga. Hindi niyo alam nag e eavesdropping ako dito.

"Basta ah alam na natin tatlo ito."

Akala nila silang tatlo nakaka alam, apat kaya kami... Okay time to go, palabas na sila.

Akala nila sila lang may set up ah syempre ako din. Para hindi sila mainip pag kinulong ko sila sa garret room, may papakinig ako sa kanilang music, ayoko kasi sila mainip. Nakaka guilty din kasi na may ikukulong ka, kaso kailangan ko gawin kasi ayoko naman ako yung makulong.

>>>

Ready na sa akin yung sa kanila kaya? Excited na ko. Sinuksok ko sa ilalim ng pintuan ng kwarto nila yung 3 papers, dinikit ko sa wall yung tainga ko para marinig ko magiging reaction nila.

"Uy may nagpadala sa akin ng sulat."

"Talaga? Ako din eh."

"Bakit pare parehas tayo nakatanggap ng sulat ngayon?"

"Ito sabi sa akin ah."

Kirsten,

I know you're smart, you don't talk to stranger but I am your secret admirer. Please meet me at the garret room.

From your secret admirer.

Sabay tili niya Ilan decibels ba yan?

"Ito naman akin."

Ashleyn,

I want to see your alluring face. Can I meet you at the Garret room?

Handsome guy

Tili din siya at napailing na lang ako.

"Don't tell me pare parehas tayong pupunta sa garret room."

"Bakit?"

(Secret admirer din ba?) Tanong naman ni Ashleyn sa kanya.

Yasmin,

How to get your heart? I want you to meet at the Garret room

-Your perfect match.

"Destiny na itu.!"

"Tara punta na tayo ng garret room!"

Gage's POV

Antagal naman nila, siguro nagpapa ganda pa yung mga yun. Hinihintay sila ng 3 admirers nila... Okay andito na sila, tago lang sandali... Ayun naka pasok na silang tatlo sa room 1 2 3 the door is closed.

"Waaaaah!"

"Hala ayaw na mag bukas!"

"This is all your fault Ashleyn!"

This is world war III

"Why me!?"

"Eh ikaw lang naman nag aya na pumunta dito!"

Sisihan?

"Flip the bird Kirsten, gusto mo rin naman!"

"Desperada niyo kasing dalawa eh!"

"Wow, parang siya hindi!"

"Eh bakit sumama ka kung hindi ka rin desperada!?"

Okay a moment of silence. This is the perfect time for the music, connected sa phone ko yung stereo.

Ring around the Rosies
pocketful of posies
ashes,ashes
we all fall down!

"Waaah! Ayoko na dito!"

Yun kanta na yan about yan sa Black Plague. Okay one more time.

Ring around the Rosies
pocketful of posies
ashes,ashes
we all fall down!

"Kasi bakit pa ako sumama sa inyong dalawa ayan tuloy. Waah!"

"Hindi namin kasalanan yun, nooo!"

"Ano ba meron bakit kayo sumisigaw!?"

Nakita na siguro nila yung mga admirers nila. Bitter-sweet huh? Natatawa naman ako without sound, napapadyak ko na din yung paa ko.

Ring around the Rosies
pocketful of posies
ashes, ashes
we all fall down!

"May nakikita ba kayong lalaking multo?"

"Oo tapos may naririnig din akong tugtog."

"Same here."

This time sinet ko na sa phone ko kung ilan beses siya mag p play. Tapos hinanap ko na si Sean, papalabasin ko din sila diyan mamaya.
