Sweet Chaos

Chapter 18

This is the last chapter of Sweet Chaos! Thank you so much in reaching this far!

*

We always dreamed of marrying the man we love and vow together in front of God. Wearing a wedding dress we always fantasize that has a glamour trail like Princess Diana, walking it in the aisle with a smile plastered on our face. Everyone's eyes were on you crying with happiness and joy as you found your other half.

At the end of the aisle, you saw the man who was waiting for you. Looking at you like you're the most precious gem with tears falling on his cheeks. From that moment it feels like your world stops as your eyes locked together, never minding the world revolves around you. Everything is perfect like we see in fairy tale movies with happy endings we couldn't ask for more.

Pinahid ni Veronica ang kanyang luha nagumpisang tumulo sa kanyang pisngi. Hindi mapigilan mapaluha sa sarili makita ang kaibigan masaya sa piling ng kanyang papakasalan.  They really looked in love with each other ready to start the next chapter in their life. That one day she will also experience it with the right man for her.

"Lance Andrada, do you take Andrea Venice Reyes as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I do," sagot ni Lance na may malapad na ngiti sa labi nakatingin kay Andrea. Hindi mapigilan umiyak ng Ina nito makita ang anak sa harapan ng altar. Veronica comforted her but she cried even more.

Lumipat naman ang tingin ng pari kay Andrea. Even when she has a veil covering her face it is still evident her beauty wearing her wedding dress in front of the man she loves. 

"Andrea Venice Reyes, do you take Lance Andrada as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I do Father," saad nito umiiyak rin.

Napatingin si Veronica sa gawi ng kabilang upuan ng simbahan. It makes her sad not seeing him here for the most special occasion of her sister. Nakakalungkot isipin dahil alam niya siya ang may kasalanan at hindi siya mapapatawad nito. Causing all of the trouble from the start, wanting to separate his best friend from her. Thinking that everything will be done according to her plan but loving him unexpectedly has never been her plan.

You really not expect the unexpected, kusa ka mabibigla isang araw mahal mo na ang isang tao. Hindi kusa piniling mahalin kundi kusa mo naramdaman sa sarili. It makes her realize it is her greatest downfall. If only she was given a chance she will make it right from the start.

"Therefore, with the blessings of God, it is my pleasure to now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!" masayang saad ng pari.

Maslalo lumakas ang hiyawan at palakpakan ng mga tao sa simbahan marinig ang pag iisang dibdib ng dalawa. Humakbang paharap si Lance kay Andrea at dahan dahan tinanggal ang bwelo. Lahat ng tao ay nakatingin sa kanila hinihintay maghalikan ang bagong kasal.

Atat lumapit ang ibang mga bisita sa bagong kasal na sila'y humarap sa kanila. Dinagsa ang mga ito hindi na nagkaroon ng pagkakataon lumapit ni Veronica sa kanila lalong lalo sa kanyang kaibigan. But even with the crowded people in front of them their eyes met each other.

"Congrats!" Veronica mouthed to his best friend.

Lance smiled at her, giving his thanks.

Hanggang makalabas at makasakay ng kotse ang dalawa hindi nakasingit si Veronica sa mga tao nakapalibot sa kanila. Rinig pa rin ang hiyawan at tawanan ng iilang mga bisita sa saya para sa dalawa. Hanggang unti unti na umaalis ang iba tumungo na sa reception. Nanatiling nakatayo si Veronica minamasdan ang kotseng papalayo na bigla ito nakaramdam ng lungkot. Naalala muli ang kakaisang lalaki gusto niyang makita ngayon.
