THE MAN IN GREEN UNIFORM (Montenegro Series #3)

SPECIAL CHAPTER 3

Celestine's POV.

I sat down quietly as soon as I woke up. Payapa kong tinitigan ang singsing ko.

I smiled, looking and remembering the day he proposed to me.

"I am getting married today," I told myself na parang makakatulong iyon sa pag sink in sa 'kin ng katotohanan. Pabalagbag akong humiga ulit sa kama ko. "OMG, I am getting married, I am getting married!"

Natigil ang paghi hysterical ko ng may kumatok at diretsong pumasok doon ang mommy ko.

She looks so beautiful at her age, I wonder if I will be as beautiful as her when I grow older.

I stood up and went up to her and kissed her.

"Good morning mommy."

"Good morning, anak." She is smiling and looking at me intently. "You're so beautiful hija."

"Of couse mom!"

"Parang kailan lang, tinatago lang kita sa daddy mo, ngayon magpapakasal ka na."

"Parang dati, gusto n'yo na ko i arranged marriage tapos ngayon, mom." I laughed.

"Wala ka namang balak itago ang anak mo, mukhang malakas ang pamilya natin doon."

"Mom!" natawa ako sa sinabi niya. "My man is a good man, hindi siya katulad ni Daddy and Storm."

"Okay fine, I am just kidding." She looked around my room, nandito pa rin naman yung ibang gamit ko pero mostly ay nandoon na sa magiging bahay namin. "Ewan ko ba, kahit madalas kayong mag travel magkapatid, parang hindi pa rin kami sanay ng daddy n'yo na hindi kayo uuwi rito."

Naramdaman ko ang lungkot sa boses ni mommy.

"Mom." Niyakap ko ito. "Pupunta pa rin naman ako rito and I am sure si Stormy din, and si Archer and Elle."

"I know, I am all good naman na pero ang daddy mo." She stopped and smiled at me. "I can still remember vividly, that day."

"What day?"

"I was running late for a general meeting, I brought you with me kasi nga miss na miss mo ang daddy mo pero nag hesitate akong pumasok sa board room kasi nga late na ko at galit ang daddy mo pero ikaw, the stubborn you, ran inside, interrupted the meeting na kung saan galit na galit ang daddy mo but when he saw you, he melted, he was so happy to see you, you even ate a cake during the meeting while on his lap." Hinawakan ni mommy ang buhok ko.

"Mommy, naaalala ko,," I said trying to stop myself from tearing up.

"Remembering that now, I know in that moment, you are your dad's life, you are her one and only princess."

"I couldn't ask for a better parents mom, both you and dad, gave everything to me, kaya maraming-maraming salamat mommy." Muli ko siyang niyakap. "Nasaan si daddy?"

"Oh, daig ako ng daddy mo, he is so busy ensuring the church venue, your safety, kaya tara na, aayusan ka pa, you'll have a photoshoot and a wedding to attend to."

I smiled and followed her.

A lot of photos was taken, sa hotel room na pagma may ari ni Tito Cloud kami nag stay.

Dakota is my matron of honor.

"C!" she started crying right away ng makita niya ako wearing my wedding gown. "Ang gandaaaaaa mo."

"Grabe, daig mo yung reaction ni mommy," sabi ko bago mabilis na yumakap sa kanya bago ako yumakap kay mommy, she looks so happy, sunod kong niyakap si Tita Luna.

"Grabe, ang pretty mo, manang mana ka talaga sa 'kin." Mayabang na sabi ni Tita Sanya.

"Anak ko kaya yan," sabi ni mom.
