She is back. | Mafia Series #3

EPILOGUE

Sometimes I wonder, what if we didn't take professor Alferez's case? Would our lives be more easier? Would we not accomplish and have what we have right now? Will there be peace in us? There's no Reminton's nor Stellards meddling with us, no series of baffling events and problems. 

But if I didn't take the case, I would have been off the company. I wouldn't have met new friends, and expand my social circle. I wouldn't have tried to risk my heart again, but most importantly I wouldn't have reunite with Enzo. 

Enzo the man who won my heart. 

I shook my head hoping these thoughts shrugs off and gets lost in the depths of my mind. This is the day, the moment has finally come. I'm walking down the isle and I'm getting married. 

I was the last one to walk, even just by walking I can already feel my tears pooling. But I can't cry, not right now. 

We are now infront of the priest ready to hear the blessings. 

We exchanged our rings, "Ravenna, I give you this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness to you." He placed the ring on my finger before it was my turn to speak. 

"Enzo, this ring I give to you as a token of my love and devotion to you." 

We then exchange our vows, iyak tawa nga ako eh. His vow was sentimental and funny. And it will also be reminded. 

"Throughout the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom have vowed to love and remain steadfast and loyal to one another as they stand before their assembled community of friends and family. The bride and groom have each formalized and sanctified their bond by exchanging wedding vows and rings. May your love be eternal and undying. In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy wedlock, you may now kiss the bride!" 

Enzo cupped my face before kissing me, it was toungueless. And lasted about ten second. 

"I present to you, the newly weds. Mr. and Mrs. Okazaki, Mr. and Mrs. Raichu, and Mr. and Mrs. Montero." Everybody clapped, and I was just smiling the whole time. 

We took many pictures with each family and with our friends. 

After the wedding we ate at the reception and had fun with the emcee. We drank champagne and made a tost. All of our visitors made their best wishes and all the typical after wedding parties. 

Pagkatapos ng kasal sobrang daming tumakbo sa isip ko, and a lot of realizations had hit me. 

I just realized, at the end of the day we're all just little kids that would run to somebody we consider our home. Hug them so tight and just cry to them all the heavy burden inside us. We just act like adults who are strong and brave, but really we want to tell someone we're also afraid and tired. 

And that you genuinely fell for someone when you're not searching for love. I was searching for peace. I was searching for myself and found a friend, who became the love of my life. Sometimes you need to focus on growing yourself and run into what's destined for you.

I also once prayed to God to give me a peace of mind, to give me guidance. To give me a person that I can lean on without any hesitation, to hug them and cry myself to sleep with. And now that thought popped again, he answered my prayers and now I'm happy with Enzo. 

A lot may judge me, or us because we got married at a very young age. Some mormal succesful people get married at the age of 25 above, but us, we're still kids in the body of adults. 

The reception and after party has finished and now Enzo and I are in our room. 

"Thank you for making my life full of exciting challenges, and making me the happiest man alive, darling. I promise you, every dispute we have we'll resolve them because we are responsible." 

I smiled as an answer, lumapit ako sa kanya at niyakap siya ng napak-higpit. 

"And I won't get tired of making you happy and saying I love you. because you deserve all the love that the world may offer to you."
