Shawn was stunned because of her reaction. He wanted to ask her so many questions. Why did she marry her friend, Maximus?
“What do you mean? You will come back to me, right? We are supposed to marry each other. Why did we end up like this?” He asked her many questions, but Luna did not answer him. She just lowered her head and cried.
“I am s-sorry I do not love you anymore. Everything changed. My heart changed” she said honestly while looking at him.
Her words were like a knife stabbing his heart. It really hurt him.
“I’m sorry”
Luna stepped back and turned around. She walked away from him without turning her head. She vanished in front of him.
Shawn did not move an inch. He just stood silently watching his beloved Luna walk away towards his friend. Her physical self and her heart walked away from him.
Not far away was a woman hiding behind a pine tree holding her mouth shut. She saw and heard everything. Her heart trembled when she saw Shawn pulled Luna outside. A while ago, she felt that something might happen, so she followed them and heard everything from Shawn’s confession to Luna’s rejection.
Shawn remembered everything now.
No! She thought. She tried to calm down herself and decided to go out and show herself to him.
“Shawn? W-what are you doing here? I am looking for you everywhere and I cannot see you outside so I—” she stopped talking when she saw Shawn’s expression.
Tears were falling from his eyes through his cheeks while looking far away like he is waiting for someone to come back and call his name.
He is crying.
“C-Shawn?” She asked. She already had an idea in her mind, but she does not want to admit it. She is scared. She might lose him.
“Liza,” Shawn said in a crack voice. He faced Liza and looked at her seriously while Liza was trying to figure out what is on his mind.
Liza did not answer him, instead, she just looked at him back, scared of saying something.
Shawn suddenly laughed. He is laughing while crying. On his mind, he believes that he was tricked by her, especially his parents. He thought that all this time, Luna was telling the truth however, he does not believe in her. His heart was already telling him from the past. All the weird feelings he felt, the dreams he dreamt and everything that Luna said was true. Why did he not believe her?
“Liza, I wanted to cancel our wedding,” Shawn said suddenly without a second thought.
Liza froze because of all the things she did not want to hear from him. She was waiting for that day, to finally marry Shawn the man of her dreams at the front of the altar.
“N-no” Liza stuttered. This is the wrong timing.
“Why not? You and my parents lied to me” Shawn said. He was furious because of what happened. The woman whom he promised to marry ran away and married somebody else because of his carelessness. The worst part is that Luna marries his best friend, Maximus.
“We did not lie to Shawn. Luna probably poisoned your mind!” Liza explained.
She needs to stop Shawn from canceling their wedding. Not today.
“I remembered everything, and you know what? I realized that I looked so stupid from believing you and my parents” Shawn said and walked away to enter the venue.
“Where are you going? Shawn!” She called his attention, but he did not stop walking.
“I will end this!” He shouted without looking at her.
When he got inside, everyone at the party was busy. Dancing, eating, and listening to the sweet music from the band. Some approached him but he ignored them, and he quickly spotted Luna at the table of the Frost family talking to Maximus.
“Maximus? Can we go home? I am tired” Luna said. She is not okay because of what happened outside the main room.
Everything she heard from Shawn hurt her and made her exhausted.
Maximus looked at her. He noticed that his wife was lying because she was not looking at him and it is her habit. He knew her well that Luna was not comfortable telling him the truth.
Maybe something happened. She suddenly disappeared when he came back from their table a while ago. When she came back, she was uneasy, and her mood changed. He wanted to know what happened. He decided to ask her when they got home.
“Okay but promise me one thing,” Maximus said with a serious voice.
“What is it?” Luna asked. She suddenly shivered because of Maximus’s serious tone. Even though the ambiance was lively, Maximus’s voice dominated it with his serious and cold voice. That time, Luna already knew that Maximus caught her lying again.
“We are going to talk, and you will tell me honestly what happened outside,” Maximus said.
Luna touched his husband’s hand firmly. Her hands were trembling but after touching Maximus’s hands, it stopped. She can feel his warm hands comforting her hands.
Shawn can clearly see what is happening between the two. Just by looking at his best friend and his love already broke his heart. He clenched his fist when he saw how Maximus’s lips touched Luna’s forehead. It is breaking him.
He heads towards the front stage where the singer was singing a sweet love song for everyone. He walked from the stage and grabbed the microphone from the singer. The singer was stunned because of his sudden appearance. The music stops and every guest who was listening to the singer turned their head at the stage.
“Everyone!” He called their attention. Everybody’s attention turned to him, especially his parents.
He looked at Luna who was also looking at him. He can clearly describe her face. She was sad and worried. He tightly holds the microphone. He thought that everything that happened was his fault. He should have to think carefully from the start
Liza just got inside the main room. She saw that everyone was looking at Shawn. She wonders what is going to happen. What would Shawn do? She was unsure. Her heart was beating fast because she was nervous that Shawn might do something to stop their wedding.
She ran towards the stage. She caught the attention of Risa and Franco who were looking at their son. They are clueless that their son discovered the truth.
“Risa” Liza called.
