"That Should Be Me"

It's my turn... I start walking in the aisle while my tears streaming down on my cheeks...

Everyone was looking at me... I look directly at the other side of the aisle and then there, I saw my man cryin' while staring at me. It seems like they can't take their eyes off me.

While walking, the memory of us starts to flash back in my head.

'I promise to love you til my very last breathe...'

'I wanna grow old with you, and die with you...'

'I love you so much my adorable Moonlight...'

'I promise to marry you...'

'I'll marry you if I survived baby... I swear to God...'

Nasa kalagitnaan pa lang ako ng aking nilalakaran ng huminto ako...

I really can't...

I bit my lip trying to hold back my emotion...

I look around and everyone here in the church giving me a pathetic look... they should be happy because it's a wedding day but they're not.

"I-I'm sorry..." I uttered then turn my back and runs out away from the church...

I'm sorry babe... I just really can't.. ayokong maging maid of honor niyo... ayoko... ayoko talaga.

I keep running away even my sight is getting blurry because of my tears... that should be me...

The woman he would marry...

The lady he would cherrish forever...

The girl who will be with him for the lifetime...

The mother of his future kids...

His wife...

That should be me!!!

I should be the one who will walk in the middle of the aisle towards him!!! I should be the one who will hold his hands, who will be with him, who will grow old with him, I should be the one who's kissing him!!! I should be his girl, his partner, his wife.

That should be me who will wear my dream wedding gown...

That should be me... who will wear our dream wedding ring.

Kung wala lang sana siyang sakit sa puso, edi sana walang heart transplant na naganap... edi sana ako yung babae na dapat na kinakasal sa kanya ngayon... kung sana lang... ako kase dapat yun ei! Ako dapat yung mapangangasawa niya! Ako yung nakasama niya! Ako yung pinangakuan! Ako yung mahal! Ako yun ei! Pero ng dahil sa heart transplant na iyan, sa iba siya kinasal! Sa iba... at hinde sa akin...

'Please, Luna pumayag kana... I want my son to live more... please...' ayoko sanang pumayag kase masyadong masakit ei, kapag pumayag ako, hinde na siya sakin, hinde na...

'I'm begging Luna, alam kong mahal na mahal mo ang anak namin... gusto mo pa siyang mabuhay ng matagal, diba?' kinagat ko ang pang ibabang labi ko at tahimik na humikbi....

Hinde ko kaya, pero mas gugustuhin kong makita siyang kasama ang iba kesa naman ang mawala siya dahil sa pagihing selfish ko...

'Tita... mahal na mahal ko ho ang anak niyo... sobrang mahal na mahal... k-kaya kahit na mahirap para sakin, pumapayag na po ako...'

Napatingala ako habang inaalala ang naging usapan namin ng mama ng dapat na mapapangasawa ko... ayokong maging selfish... kasalanan ko rin naman kase pumayag ako... pero kung hinde bako pumayag, magkasama kaya kami ngayon? O b-baka tuluyan na siyang agawin sakin o sa amin ng mundo?

I hugged myself as I felt the cold air touching my skin... my Sol... I wish all the best for the both of you...

I smiled bitterly while sobbing...

Binigay ko lahat... ginawa ko lahat ng kaya ko... sumugal ako sa klase ng laro na walang kasiguraduhan ang pagkapanalo.

Ang daya mo Lluhx, aurgh no! Ang daya ng mundo... sa akin nangako tapos sa iba tinupad. Ako yung laging nandiyan simula umpisa pero hinde pala ako yung huli. Ako yung mahal... pero hinde sa akin ikinasal.

[A/N: Kapag magpa-paheart transplant ka, tapos may partner yung heart donor mo, kailangan mong pakasalan yung partner ng heart donor mo]
