While walking slowly in our staircase, my heart was about to come out from my ribcage. I was holding my Mom's hand and I can hear her chuckle from time to time because my hand is sweating as hell. Panay rin ang lunok ko at ang tuhod ko'y nanginginig sa hindi maipaliwanag na kaba.

Kung hindi lang siguro ako nakahawak kay Mom, paniguradong kanina pa ako gumulong pababa dito sa hagdan.

"Careful, sweetie. Khenzon is in the leaving room." Mom said while assisting me.

Marahan na tumango lang ako at nang tuluyan na kaming makababa, saka kami umikot sa kabilang banda kung nasaan ang living room.

My breath almost took away when I finally saw Khenzon. Standing in the center of living room while his hand is politely put in his back.

Damn. I know he's a good looking man but seeing him right now is enough for me to say that's he's more handsome than I thought.

He's wearing a white tux and a white slacks with his black leather shoes. And buhok niya'y sobrang linis tingnan at malayang nakikita ang buo niyang mukha dahil walang nakatabing na buhok dito.

"Go on. Your groom is waiting."

Napasimangot ako sa sinabi ni Mom lalo pa't narinig ko ang mahinang tawa ni Khenzon. My cheek rose up that I need to cleared my throat to calm my self.

"Stop teasing me, Mom." I simply whispered to my Mom who just chuckled. Marahan na tinulak pa niya ako palapit kay Khenzon.

"Oh, siya. Maiwan ko na kayo dito at may aasikasuhin pa ako sa taas. Take care of my daughter, okay Khenzon?"

"Yes, Tita." Khenzon replied before Mom turn her back to leave us.

Napasimangot ako dahil alam kong sinadya niya ito para maiwan kaming dalawa ni Khenzon dito sa living room.

"Shall I take my bride now?"

Pinag-initan ako ng pisngi sa sinabi ni Khenzon kung kaya't huminga ako ng malalim at unti-unti siyang hinarap.

My heart boom inside my chest when he slowly walk towards me. Huminto siya ng isang metro sa akin at inilahad ang kanyang kamay.

"Shall I?"

I gulp at the anticipation before I took his hand. Natawa pa siya nang makita ang nanginginig kong mga kamay dahilan para mas mapasimangot ako.

"Pinagtatawan mo ba ako?"

"Nope. Why are you nervous, by the way?"

Umingos ako at nag-iwas ng tingin nang makita ang napakalandi niyang ngiti.

"K-Kasi first time ko 'to, okay?!" I tsk-ed. "that's why I'm nervous."

"No worries." Khenzon gently held my hand and intertwined it on his. "I'm here. Huwag kang bumitaw sa hawak ko para hindi ka makalayo sa akin."

Napalunok ako at walang magawa kundi tumango nalang. Khenzon carefully escorted me outside our house and I almost lost my consciousness when I saw a white limousine in front of our house!

"It's Dad, right?"

"Hmm." He hummed. "Tito wants the best for you too."

Napapikit ako nang bigla akong mahilo kapagkuwan ay tumingim sa veranda kung nasaan ang kanilang kwarto. Dad was there and waving at me with his wife. Katabi nito si Mom na nakayapos sa kanya.
