Chapter 13

Calvin's POV

I sigh as I come inside the Pho3nix bar that was owned by a friend of mine Jace Dela Cerna I don't know what these crazy fools ate and made me come here.

"Hey guys, the Captain is here!!"

Nate shouted when he saw me. Yes they all call me captain because apart from my batch mates, we were members of the varsity team in high school and I was their captain and even after we graduated and had our own lives, we are still friends.

"CAPTAIN!" others shouted at the same time, causing the attention of almost everyone here to go to us. But I'm used to the noise and stupidity of these g@g*ngs.

"Captain, you think you can survive us ah" the owner of the place, Jace, said meaningfully as soon as I sat down, handing me a newly opened bottle of beer. "I invited you all to my wedding even though we all know that I was forced to be there and you? You got married just recently and you didn't even invite us, well that's not right"

"I agree Cap'tn, we know that you are the most thrifty of all of us, but it seems that you are too frugal when you didn't even feed us with your wealth, but you are stingy—"

Mark didn't continue what he was going to say because I hit it hard enough to call me a miser, the meanest of all of us here. Honestly, only half of the group is here and I think the others won't be able to make it because they might be busy too, but I'm sure I'll end up meeting you again knowing this idiots knowing this idiots won't let me go for free tch.

"And then? How many sacks of rice do you want and I'll make you eat it now Palacio"

"Hehe, it's the Captain, it's not funny, and one more thing, why didn't you accompany the dish with rice?" I just showed Mark my middle finger to shut him up, this one is also talking a lot.

"So what is your issue with me getting married? Also, it's not what you think we're not familiar with each other so why should I let the world know about him?"

That's true that woman is too complicated, she's hard to understand and seems like she's hiding a lot. She also seems different from the one I've met once when we were just talking about the wedding plan so it seems like you want to investigate her. It's easy for me to get old with people even though I only met her once, the wife who stays with me had different mannerisms and body language than the Andrea that I saw back then, I even had a date with her once and for some reasons they are different.

"What is it not what we think? Are you also a victim of the 'fix marriage curse' that Dela Cerna made popular?" Raze asks as he drank his beer. "Luh why did you point to me as the culprit of that arrange marriage curse? Is it my fault that your parents are making decisions and interfering with your love life?"

Jace objected because in our group there is this so called 'fixed marriage curse' that started with Jace Dela Cerna who was the first to marry us. As of now he's been married for almost 7 years but as far as I know based on the entertainment news about his wife, Karina is about to divorce because this friend of mine is actually a g@gø and half. I don't know many details about it but since his wife is a well known actress in the country rumors about them are really on the news pages.

"Are you really Captain too? You're already four." Dylan Wong, who had been silent until now, said that he is also one of the alleged victims of such a curse. He followed Jace. But what is the fourth? Who is your third?

"Well if you're going to ask who was that third one it was Alcantara, another one you married without even inviting and until now that one still hasn't come home from Thailand"

Determining this to Argrus Alcantara who is not here at the moment, he is also one of our friends who is usually missing in action so we have almost no news.

I didn't stay there too long because I promised grandma that I would go to dinner with them and I also went to Andrea's condo unit building to get her car she said she has some business to take care of with that Lilianne so I get it for her.

I don't even know why I'm doing these things for him? I am breaking my own rules just because of an annoying woman who did nothing but to question and pester me.
