Looking over the horizons, hoping I'd see Mikhail from afar, I heard them calling me for the third time, "It's time."

"Can we wait for just another five minutes, please?" I begged hoping that he'd come running, bust at the door and save me just like always.

If Mikhail was here, would he take me with him and wipe my tears just like always?

This pain beyond belief, still, I couldn't believe, he made a place in our home vacant as well as a void in my heart never to be filled by anyone else.

Minutes already had passed, the organs started playing, a death march to my ears. I have to, for our baby.

Although they said you have left this world, I can still hear chambers in my heart calling you softly. Because Mikhail didn't went alone, a part of me left with him to pull him back home.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace."

I heard, getting myself out of trance. I started looking around like others. There at the very back, I saw him, it was Mikhail.

He blinked at me, watching me painfully, staring at me, his wife become another man's. I could feel his stares beginning to that of anger when he looked at my bump.

No, he might thought that, that I had an affair waiting for him. Our eyes met once again, mine of shock and his of despair.

I wanted to run to him, hug him, tell him how much I miss him but how can I explain this. Will he believe me? Will he still love me? I had been longing for him more and more everyday and now that he's here, I couldn't even get myself to muster the courage to run to him.

Soon he was running off the church and for the last stare, I thought I heard him speak but that couldn't be. He is far from me but I thought I heard a whisper saying, "How could you?"

I turned back at the groom, I gulped saying, "I'm sorry."

Hurriedly I ran towards the exit hoping I'd see Mikhail, but I didn't. I looked around as the rain started to pour, everything was becoming a blur, then I collapsed.
