Chapter 10.5
[ Months later]…….
Wedding bells were ringing for Ken & Chompoo, Beam & Paula. They held their wedding at the oriental hotel, where no more than 100 guests were invited. The brides were getting ready upstairs, while the groom took care of things downstairs. Pancake had arrive with her parents and she noticed her right eye was twitching since morning. She kept on touching it to make it go away but it wouldn’t.
“Pan, what’s wrong?” her dad asked.
“Nothing.”
“Is something wrong with your eye? I notice you were rubbing it since we left the house.”
“No, I’m fine”
Pancake knew that if her right eye twitches, something bad was about to happen. She didn’t want to let her parents know that.
“Could you excuse me? I need to talk to Cee real quick.”
“Okay. We’ll save you a seat inside.”
Pancake walked over to where Cee was setting up his camera for the ceremony.
“Hey Cee” she called from behind him.
He turned around, “Hey Pan, you look lovely today.”
“Yeah, yeah whatever. Look, my right eye’s twitching.”
“So…..”
“So…when my right eye does twitch, it means something bad’s gonna happen.”
“You actually believe in those superstition?”
“Yes. Remember when we got lost in the island, well, my right eye twitch that day too.”
“No. The reason why we were lost that day is because of you, remember? You forgot the key in the boat remember?”
“Yes! And thanks for reminding me. …but I’m serious……”
“What do you want me to do then?”
“Try to look out for things, for me?”
“Fine….I’ll try.”
“Thanks…oh you might want to warn Ken and Beam. This is their wedding day afterall.”
“Okay……”
-------------------------------
Throughout the ceremony, Pancake was being cautious about her surroundings. She made sure everything and everyone were okay.
“What’s your girlfriend doing?” Ken asked Cee, after the ceremony was over.
Cee turned to look at Pancake who was walking around checking up on everything, “Oh gosh….”
“What is it?” Ken and Beam both asked.
“She thinks something bad is going to happen today that’s why she’s checking up on everything in this hotel.”
“How does she know that?” Beam asked.
“Well, according to her right eye, when it twitches, something bad is going to happen.”
Ken chuckled, “She actually believe in those things?”
“That’s what I said. She’s all telling me to keep an eye out and she told me to warn you guys too.”
“Well, so far, nothing has happened” said Beam. “Our ceremony went okay. But it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.”
“Look, Pan’s just being ridiculous. If something was to happen, it would have happen a long time ago. We’re almost done for today and I don’t see any sign of danger.”
“Except that…”
Cee and Beam followed Ken’s gaze and they saw Ploy walking towards them.
“Hey guys, did I miss the ceremony?”
Ken and Beam looked at each other all puzzled.
“Yeah, you just missed it.” Cee replied. “But you’re in time for the after party.”
“Okay…..oh congratulations to Ken and Beam too.”
Ken and Beam were still puzzled, “Thanks” they both said.
Ploy laughed, “You two look confused or something.”
Ken scratched his head, “Well…we kind of are….no offence but you seem….”
“Nice?”
“Yeah….something like that.”
“Well, that’s because I’ve made peace. With all of you, especially with Cee and Pancake. I realized that it’s no use making the person we love, love us. It’s just going to hurt both of us. We should be happy that the person we love is happy. I learned that from the best.”
Cee smiled and winked at Ploy. She winked back.
Chompoo and Paula walked up to them and was stun to see Ploy there as well.
Ploy smiled, “Don’t worry. I come in peace.”
Chompoo looked at Ken and he just nodded.
Ploy took Chompoo and Paula’s hand, “Congrats to you two! I’m so happy for you guys. Aunt Mam should be thrill to have you girls as her daughter-in-laws. All she’s missing is Pancake.”
“Thanks” the girls said smiling.
Ploy looked around, “Speaking of Pancake, Cee, where’s your girlfriend?”
“Over there being retarded.”
“Ploy’s where’s your sister?” Ken asked. “She didn’t come?”
Ploy shook her head, “Nope. I haven’t talked to her in awhile ever since she moved out of the house.”
“She moved out?” they all asked.
“Yup…..her and Luktarn.”
“Do you know where they move to?” Beam asked.
Paula pouted, “Why, you gonna go get her back or what?”
“No…it’s just a question.”
“No, I don’t know where they moved to.”
Chompoo looked at Ken, “We just talked to Pan and she told us to be careful since her right eye is twitching.”
“Yeah, Cee just told us.”
“Do you guys actually think something bad might happen?” Paula asked.
“Yes, no, maybe so…but it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.”
“What are you guys talking about?” asked Ploy.
“It’s Pan, she thinks something bad is going to happen because her right eye is twitching.”
“Oh…really?”
“Yeah, but it’s Pancake we’re talking about here.” said Cee. “Sometimes she can be pretty weird.”
“Cee, that’s not nice to talk about her like that.” said Paula.
“Well it’s the truth. I’ve known her almost all my life. Trust me, she can be weird.”
Ken laughed, “You’re calling her weird and yet….”
“I still love her.”
“Awww…” the girls gushed. “That’s cute.”
Cee felt embarrassed so he walked away.
Paula looked at Chompoo, “C’mon, we still have to go change for the after party.”
“Right….we’ll be back guys….we’re going to go change upstairs real quick.”
“Okay….”
