OUR LAST CHAPTER
"Hi sexy, Daddy and baby Shawn!"
I chuckle to stop myself from crying dahil simula pa lang ng vows ko naiiyak na ako.
"You know how much I love to do the things I want to do whatever it takes and that I don't hold back." Panimula ko.
Alam mo kung saan ako magaling at kung saan ako mahina. Alam mo kung kailan ako galit at kailan hindi." I smile, remembering all that we have been through.
"You deal with all my flaws through out the years. You flood my senses at wala nang mas hihigit sa pagmamahal na naibibigay at maibibigay mo sa akin."
I wipe the tears off my cheeks and look at him deep in the eyes.
"Ikaw ang pag ibig na higit pa sa metaphors na nababasa ko sa mga libro. Nakakatawa lang isipin na nagsimula ako sa puppy love hanggang sa kinamuhian kita dahil na busted mo ako."
I joked dahil nakita kong umiiyak na rin si Shawn.
"Here stands my friend, my beloved, my husband and my true soul's companion." I bit my lower lip.
"You proved to me how pure you are with your love for me. Ngayon, masasabi kong ako ang pinaka maswerteng babae sa buong universe dahil maikakasal ako sa isang Shawn Deano Salazar." I winked at him and he laugh at me.
"I-I..." my voice broke dahil sa naiiyak na rin ako. Pinaypayan ko ang sarili ko dahil paiyak na siya.
"I, Penelope Ellaine Santiago take you, Shawn Deano Salazar to be my wedded 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 to cherish, until death do us part." Naiiyak na ang ibang tao.
"I vow to always protect you from harm. To stand with you against your troubles and look to you when I need protection, I love you baby." I sincerely said.
After I slid the wedding ring on his finger mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang kanang kamay ko.
Comforting me dahil punong puno na ng luha ang mga mata ko.
Huminga ako ng malalim para maghanda sa vow ng pinaka mamahal ko.
He held the mic without taking his eyes off me.
"Baby, I grew hating romance and I'm not a sweet type man." Panimula niya.
"I like girls chasing me than me chasing girls. I like to play around but it all changed the moment I saw you." He smiles at me like he remembered something.
"I know I didn't realized it back then because I was naïve. I didn't realize the changes that I am slowly doing because of you." He smiles.
"I know I've hurt your young heart back then because I BUSTED you." He teased which made me laugh, while crying.
"Allow me to let everyone hear that it wasn't because I didn't feel the same way back then. It was because I feel like what I am back then is a boy that who doesn't deserve you." He smiled bitterly.
"You have always been beautiful inside and out. You are smart. You are every boy's dream girl."
"Lucky, I'm your brother's best friend." pabiro siyang kumindat kay Zeki.
"My pansulat, you are the woman I choose to spend the rest of my life with."
"I promise to learn from you day by day in all things. God gave me you and I am thankful because he granted my prayer. You are His greatest gift Penelope."
Isang takas ng luha ang tumulo galing sa kanyang mga mata.
"With this ring. I, Shawn Deano Salazar take you, Penelope Ellaine Santiago to be my wedded wife."
"To have and to hold. From this day forward. Forr better or for worse. For richer or for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish. Until death do us part."
"I vow in front of these people. In front of Him, to always be by your side. In whatever way it is, I will love you purely honestly and faithfully."
"Only you mon amour," he said as he slid the wedding ring on my finger.
Magically, his lips landed on mine.
Everything around us moved slowly.
Now that I'm finally married to my dream man with a 2 weeks old baby in my tummy, contentment and happiness aren't enough to express what I'm feeling.
Surrounded my people whose always been there with me since day one, my Mom who's been crying the entire time.
My Dad who's looking happily while looking at me in front of the altar. My Brothers who's been dealing with all my flaws and their wives as well.
Gabriel who's sitting beside Gabriella who turns out to be the girl he likes from Maguin.
I look at my grandparents. My Lala who's like my Mom.
She's crying so hard and my greatest and number one supporter, my Papalo.
Everyone gathered beside, behind and in front of us for pictorials.
"I'm so proud of what you've become. I love you. You've become the finest woman I've ever seen right after your grandma." Papalo whispered as he hug me.
-
Papuntang reception, nakasandal lang ako sa balikat ng taong mahal na mahal ko.
It was raining. People said that rain symbolizes pain. But for me it isn't. Rain symbolizes purity, honesty and bravery.
What happened between me and Shawn in the past made our present perfect and our future magical.
Love isn't all about just the happy moments.
It's about hardships, pain, tears, heartbreaks and failures.
With my experiences, I can finally say that I am who I wished I would become today.
I. Penelope Ellaine Santiago- Salazar, finally found my purpose.
This is my Destiny.
THE END.
