My Dear Future Husband by Leandra A. (red white and royal blue hardcover .txt) 📕

to stop doing those things but as usual she'll just shrugged me off and give me an adult smile. I don't understand it myself why I'm making myself involve with her, it's not like I desperately want this career but I just can't let it go. I can't believe it myself but seeing her hard works made me want to do my best as well to succeed. Her optimism towards this is contagious. But is it really all just because of this?

 

One day she called me to say that I was chosen to be the lead actor on a romance movie produced by Fay Media Corporation, our country's top multimedia company today, that's why she was so excited when she called me to inform this. She keeps on saying that it was like a dream come true for her. Unknown to us, that this will be the starting point of our nightmare.

 

“Jun, I would like you to meet Mr. Daniel Hill”

 

I was so surprised when I learned the man who chosen me as the lead actor on the project, it was the same director who I've heard gave his comment that I'm no good and got a really poor acting skill when it comes to romance scenes.

 

She told me that they are childhood friends and asked him to let me try to take the role and prove myself worth for the project. Although I'm reluctant to take the project, her enthusiasm made me unable to refuse the role.

 

“I've heard so much about you from Anne, I hope to work with you on several projects...err...Jun right?” He asks me which made me pissed by his attitude and the fact that he doesn't bother to know who I am before this. He made it looks like he just agreed because Anne asks him a favor.

 

“Yes that's my name, please remember that well Mr. Director!” I replied while gripping his hand strong and refuse to let go of his hurt hand.

 

“Jun! What are you doing?” She said and then pulled my hand from his hand. “I'm sorry Dan he is just nervous”, she told him and then glared at me.

 

The schedule when to begin the taping was not yet set but we have been attending several meetings with him before we start, all this time I would notice her different attitude and action towards him which made me so uncomfortable. It was not too long that I realized what this irritating feeling that I am experiencing is. I can't believe it myself but I guess I am already in love with her.

 

It was not long after as well that I decided to confess this to her and make her mine, considering as well that by tomorrow I will have to marry the princess whom I never saw and met. Today will be my first and last chance to be with her.

 

“Jun, you are just confuse right now; believe me it's not true that you are in love with me”, said by her who refuse to believe the confession I made to her.

 

Out of anger, I forcefully gave her a kiss to make her see that I am serious about this. But with all this things happening I didn't fail to notice a girl hiding behind who saw all these.

 

“Is she someone from the backstage?” Is what I thought first and then after the Anne left the scene I approached the girl hiding behind and asked who she is. A ladylike woman shows and introduces herself.

 

“I'm Alice Fay”, is what she said her name was.

 

“So it's the princess”, is what I thought and felt good inside knowing that it will be easier for me if she will be the one who will back out from our wedding that will happen tomorrow. I didn't bother to talk or asked her on why she is here right now, what's important is the princess has now awakened and surely realized that this is not a fairytale.

 

Please Say "I do"

“Who is it this time?” Jun opened his eyes and yawned, awaken by the continuous ringing of his phone. Still half awake, he reaches out for his phone and answers it.

 

“Hey Jun... it's me Ren! Where are you now? Have you forgot that it's your wedding day?” said by the other person on the line, who is Jun's best friend that's been working as well as a model.

 

“Huh? What wedding? I thought that was cancelled already?”  He asked him, surprised and then immediately hang-up the phone to check for his phones unread messages. He saw her mother's message asking him to go out early in order to not make the other party wait. He was expecting that his fiancé would inform them about cancelling the wedding but it looks like that was not the case.

 

The ceremony will be held in private with simple reception that will be conducted by noon. Only few members of their family and friends are invited to it. He immediately gets dressed and drives his way to the place where the ceremony will be held.

 

“Jun! there you are...I thought you're taking a while that's why I called you”, said by his friend Ren and then lead him inside telling him that all guests were already inside but his bride was not yet there.

 

“She won't come here”, Jun confidently told his friend thinking that because of what happened yesterday, there's no woman who would be on their right mind will still marry a guy that was seen kissing another girl.

 

The guests become restless on when the ceremony will start since they have been waiting for more than an hour already, and then suddenly the door opened and outside was the bride ready to take her march.

 

“No way, has she gone mad?” Is what he thought, who can't believe what his eyes are seeing.

 

She wears a simple white dress and her short black hair down, while holding a bouquet of white rose. She walks on the aisle with her steps in sync with the music played by the choir. The people inside watch in still and the clock no longer ticks, it literally seems that the time has stop for that moment.

 

But what they don't know that inside the bride's mind the sound of the march seems more of the sound of a battlefield which she is ready to face. And by the time she arrived the end of the aisle where his future husband was waiting, she looks at his eyes and then gave him a smile while waiting for him to reach for her arms and lead her to the judge in order to start now exchanging their vows.

 

“This is ridiculous!” Jun cluck his tongue and glares at his bride waiting for his hand.

 

He was about to leave the stage but then she holds his hand tight while her eyes were just on the ground, not even blinking. He was about to remove her hands but he saw her mother eyes staring at him and looking painfully. This made him unable to move and just closed his eyes then reaches out for his bride arms and proceeds with the wedding.

 

“We are now here in order to witness the matrimony of these two people who from now will be bound in marriage”, the judge announced and continued reading the oration of the wedding.

 

Then came now the time for each exchange of vows that everyone was waiting, the judge ask the groom first if he is willing to take the woman with him and marry her. There was a long silence before he answered the judge that made the people inside watching worry. After closing his eyes once again, Jun then looks at her bride then to his mother smiling while watching him, and then finally answered the judge.

 

Jun breathe out an audible sigh, “I...I...do”, is what he replied reluctantly.

 

Then the judge also asked the bride if she is willing to take the man beside her as her lawful husband, she on the other hand with her soft and trembling voice also said that she do accept him as her husband. They exchange their rings and then she prepared herself for the final step of the ceremony, which is exchanging their first kiss as wife and husband now.

 

“I now pronounce you husband and wife”, the judge announced and the people inside anticipate now the new wed couple’s first kiss.

 

The bride can't even look on his eyes because of her nervousness then she just suddenly felt his cold hand touching her face and saw his cold eyes staring at her. This made her face sweat and whole body numb then he strongly pressed his lips against her, which seals now the marriage.

 

It's cold, that's what she thought while holding her tears from falling because of unexplainable sadness she is feeling right now because of that kiss he gave her-- Which is also her first kiss.

 

 

 

First Night

It will take more than an hour before we can get to my house, you should sleep first, Jun said to me while we are inside the car and driving us back to his house...which will be our home from now on as well.

The wedding ceremony ended sooner than the others expected and for some reason I know that both of us were exhausted, both in body and heart. Both of us were quiet the whole time and would not even talk to each other, until the end.

We are now on the way to his place to spend our first night together as husband and wife, but looking the way we are right now, although both of us are still dressed in suit and gown, we don't look like someone who just got married much less a couple in love.

I was in the middle of sleeping when I woke up from his phone ringing and then suddenly he just stopped the car and told me to wait inside. After a couple of minutes another car came in and then a man came out from that car and talked to Jun.

Hey, I need to go somewhere first, he is my friend and he'll drive you back to my house so go with him, that's what he said to me as he open the door of the car to let me out and then hurriedly drive out of the scene.

What could be more important than our first night together for him to left me to another man? is what I thought to myself and felt this unexplainable pain in my heart. I think I already know who called him but I was hoping that's not the case.

Hi, there Jun's wifey, my name is Ren,
