Days passed so fast that I didn't even realize that it was already my wedding day. I was nervous at first since this event is just once in a lifetime. Pang-habangbuhay na 'to, sabi nila.

At first, I really do care about this day. I mean, it's a wedding. My wedding. Wedding should be held by two people who love each other, not just because of business or whatever that is. Wedding is for love, not for anything else. Iyon ang paniniwala ko at iyon ang gusto ko.

But now, I couldn't even complain about everything about my wedding since I am already pregnant with the only heir of one of the biggest cosmetic company here in the Philippines. I should reflect of my doings. I should face the consequence of my reckless move. And that consequence is the wedding that I don't even expect to be this early.

Yes, I planned to get married before I turned thirties, but not like this. Dad didn't even react anymore after he burst his anger towards Grayson when he found out that I'm pregnant. Maybe, he got angry at first since he wasn't even my boyfriend and because of surprise, but he eventually accepted it. Maybe because I was already 28. Maybe he thought that I'm old enough to have a family. To get married. To have a child.

Mom was like that too. She didn't even talk me for hours when she found out that I'm pregnant while I don't even have a boyfriend. She got mad, but accepted it right away. They trust me. They trust me so much that they let me do what I want for a long time, but not when I'm pregnant. I tried to stop them to marry me to the guy who impregnant me, but it just ended up as a nonsense talk. We argued about it. I was so emotional that day maybe because I'm pregnant, but they didn't let it control them. They want me to marry Grayson because of their grandchild. Because of my child. My daughter. Grayson's daughter.

Kahit naman siguro pumayag sina Mommy at Daddy sa gusto ko, hindi papayag sina Mama at Papa dahil nag-iisa nilang anak si Grayson at unang apo pa nila ang batang nasa sinapupunan ko. Isa pa, Mama Emily was too eager to get her son married. Parang matagal na niyang hinihintay na may ma-link na babae sa anak niya para lang ipakasal ito. Mukhang atat na siyang magkaapo kaya naman ay siya talaga ang pinaka-excited sa panganganak ko. Grabe nga, e. Noong ilang linggo pa lang akong buntis, kung ano-ano na ang mga sinasabi niyang possible na gamitin na name para sa baby.

Mama especially wants a baby girl. She wants her grandchild to be girl since Grayson is her only child at lalaki pa. That's why I understand why Grace and MJ are so close to her. Sa akin din naman, gano'n siya. Parang mas anak pa nga niya kaming tatlo kaysa kay Grayson, e.

Minsan nga tinanong ko kung ano 'yung opinyon ni Grayson tungkol do'n. Tinawanan niya lang ako at sinabihang mas malambing sa kaniya si Mama kapag wala masyadong tao. Mas clingy daw si Mama dati sa kaniya no'ng elementary pa lang siya. Tumigil lang daw 'yon nang mag-college na siya.

Mas mahal daw siya ng nanay niya. Hindi lang halata.

I stared at my reflection on the mirror in front of me while I was wearing my wedding gown. It was a white sleeved-off-shoulder long gown. It was really long because the end of the gown was literally touching the floor already. But it was not that long. Medyo lang. My hair was up in a elegant messy bun with pearls on my hair while my face was wearing an elegant simple makeup.

"I never imagine you in a wedding gown, Anitha Ruth. This is so unbelievable." Miguel said while staring at my reflection behind me.

"Shut up." I hissed as I angled myself in front of the mirror. "Ang galing. Hindi halata 'yung umbok ng tiyan ko."

"It's because maliit naman talaga 'yung tiyan mo while you're pregnant, Anitha!" Beia said while frowning. "Can I be like that too once I got pregnant?! Feeling ko kasi, papangit ako once na mabuntis ako. Tataba pa!"
