Chapter 13
DAY 7
Catherine
We are all gathered here to witness the first wedding of the eliminated!
To my surprise, Vincent's girlfriend is included! But she's happy while the others are sad.
How many relationships have been ruined?
And look at Vincent! He's happy too?
They are a perfect couple!
"Good morning everyone! There's no game show for today. It's a wedding show!" The host shouted and lots of fresh flowers fall.
"Whoaah!!!"
"Party!"
Some participants are noisy and happy about the wedding but some are sad too.
"How could you?!"
"I'm sorry, Tina."
"You will marry her! It's all over for the two of us!"
"I can't believe that you're tempted with a girl!"
"I'm sorry Honey."
And so much drama that if I listen to them, I will become deaf.
The last couple is Vincent's girlfriend's love affair!
Her boyfriend is so angry and couldn't believe that his girlfriend will be tempted with a girl!
I look at Vincent again but I can't see any emotions. He is just smiling as if there's nothing happened!
It's her girlfriend but he doesn't care!
Maybe they are not a true couple? They are only after the prize!
Oh, what am I thinking right now?
"A little silence, please. It's time to say goodbye to your old partners! And welcome your new one. Let's all have an acceptance and be happy for them!" The host said and a priest appear in the middle.
It's really a legal wedding?!
Somewhat I feel nervous and look at George.
If Vincent is smiling, George is frowning!
But he is calm. I don't know what he's thinking about.
But I can feel a distance between us! He seems far away ever since the forest incident.
He is not caring and loving anymore. He is just there but not totally with me. It's hard for me to explain!
But we are still a couple because we aim for the jackpot prize.
I guess, we will talk about our relationship once the game ended.
And that is, if we are lucky to reach the finish line!
"And here's another announcement before the wedding started, only 100 people left! I repeat, only 100 people left! Why people? Because other participants have no more partners. Some of them are eliminated today. Good luck to the remaining 100! Fighting everyone!" he said and dance his signature moves.
They are all happy but I'm nervous. I'm not sure if we will win this game but we are doing everything!
Although George seems a little off but he is doing his best.
We will not give up!
In terms of this game, our brains will always team up.
"Let's all be seated and witness their wedding!" The host shouted and disappear.
The wedding has started.
25 couple walks down the aisle. Vincent's girlfriend marries a girl and the rest marry the person that they are tempted with.
I pity those who remain in the game. They are all crying! It's painful to see the one you love marrying another girl/boy. This is the most painful punishment that I've ever watched.
This is not a wedding but a funeral!
Those who get married are all happy but those who are left behind are mourning!
Their partners cheated on them!
But look at them! Happily married now and their partners are left in the game feeling devastated.
But, this is the challenge that we must all face.
We already know the punishment from the beginning.
There's no one to blame.
The wedding ended and it's time to party!
Everyone is happily dancing while I'm alone in the corner drinking my wine.
"Alone?" a voice asks me but I know that it's Vincent.
"It's you again! And look at yourself smiling all ears! You're supposed to cry!" I scolded him.
Good thing that I manage to control my voice.
Or else, I will cause a scene!
"Why should I cry? It's a happy day! A wedding day is an auspicious celebration!" he said smiling.
"Then, be happy. But get out of my sight!" I said.
He chuckles and grabs my wine glass and drinks it.
"You will need me when you cry soon, Catherine..." he said mysteriously.
And I don't understand!
Why should I cry?!
"You're crazy! Get out! I don't want to see you!" I shouted angrily.
This time, I don't care about the people around me.
"Fine, Just drink alone in this dark and cold place. Hahaha!" He's laughing.
Crazy Bastard!
I look for George and I found him at the right table with her new group of friends.
Fred is there and they look close with each other.
I'm glad that he found some new friends but I'm a little bit disappointed that he didn't include me in this circle of friends!
I stand up and join them. I'm bored being alone.
"Hello, guys! Babe, What are you doing?" I ask happily.
But he seems not happy with my presence!
Why?
Is he really cheating on me?
The girls from the forest are in this group too!
Huh! I am Catherine Eunice Villaflor. I will fight for my man until the end!
Flirty girls, be ready!
"We are just having some fun babe," George answered smiling but his smile didn't reach his eyes.
You can't do this to me, George! We promise to love each other. I'm trying my best not to be tempted but here you are!
Showing you disgusts right in my very face!
"That's good, I will join too." I sit down. "Let's drink guys!" I raise my wine glass and they give me a toast.
We talk about everything under the sun with me trying to join the topic but will always be out of place.
I just can't believe that I can't ride with them!
Or they didn't like me to join?
No matter what! I will not give George a chance to flirt with these girls!
Tonight, I will watch and guard him! But I feel dizzy as I drink a lot of wine. This is bad!
George stands up and I immediately follow him.
"Where are you going, babe?" I asked.
"I'm going to the bathroom babe. Just wait for me," he said and walk away.
"Okay, be sure to go back quickly," I answer and continue drinking.
Until I feel sleepy! My eyes are going to close. This is not good at all!
I didn't see George coming back!
I slowly look around and I'm alone at this big table.
Where are they?
Damn, George! He just left me.
He lied to me and didn't come back!
Fvck with these eyes. I'm so sleepy!
And before I close my eyes, I saw Vincent smiling at me!
Oh no...
It's a disaster!
