I walk in the middle of the forest at ang pulang buwan lang ang nagsisilbing ilaw at gabay ko. My silver stiletto poked every leaves that I walk through. Maraming puno pa ang dinaanan ko at maraming damo pa ang hinawi ko bago ako nakarating sa kasal nila. I was amazed by the designs, the lightings, and the arrangements.

It was filled with white and yellow lanterns, flowers was decorated on the round tables and the stage as well; the palette was white, pink, and blue. It was amazing-- so amazing. Kahit hating gabi na, sobrang liwanag pa rin ng gubat. There were vampires who are wearing their black gowns and coats. Akala ko madami kami but I was surprised na kaunti lang ang nandito, maybe thirty.

Nang madapo ang tingin nila saakin, their face became alerted, serious, and angry. Ready to stash me and my inner organs, they bent down na parang handang-handa na talaga pero dumating si Graychel. I sighed in relief. I want to leave na kumpleto pa ang katawan ko.

"Oh my gosh I'm sorry" She ran towards me and hugged me. I look on her black sheath gown and it looks good on her. "Guys don't worry she's a guest" Everybody calmed down after Graychel announced that one. Hindi ko alam kung saan sila galit, saakin ba o sa suot kong white pant suit. Ako lang an naiiba e, I didn't mean to.

Hindi ko alam na may black dress code kasi. I mean white is the safest color to wear. At wala naman siguro mali na magsuot ako ng puting damit, kasali naman siya sa color palette.

"Late ba ako?" I asked, still eyeing around. Vampires eyes were still on me.

Graychel chuckled "No your just in time, tara na?" Sinama niya ako sa round table sa harapan, I smiled at Lorcan nang magkita kami, his jet black tuxedo fits him very well. He smiled back at me. The ground is filled with dried leaves and flower petals, there is also a red rose petals scattered in the middle from the floral arch up to the stage. I sat down on the chair and bent my head, I fixed my suit. Umupo din si Graychel sa tabi ko. Nakaupo rin sa parehas na mesa 'yung nangbabantay ng morgue nila--- Denzel's aunt and uncle maybe, they looks so young. In fact, everyone here looks so young!

After a few minute merong lalaking naglakad sa stage. "Mabuhay sa dugong buwan!" They all clapped, kitang-kita rito ang pulang buwan, it shine so bright. Perfect place for weddings indeed. "Gusto ko lang ibati sainyo na nandito na ang bagong kasal! Denzel Aver Tompson at si Olivia Marine Tuil" Tumayo kaming lahat at nagpalakpakan na.

I smiled as I watch both of them crossing the floral arch, Denzel is wearing a brown coat and pants this time and Olivia is wearing a red crimson dress flowers were crowned on her head. I clapped more as they walk on the red petalled rose aisle. Hindi ko namalayan nakangiti na pala ako, they are both good couple and maybe a good parents in the future as well.

We sat down nang nakarating na sila sa gitna ng stage. They waited for us to be quite nang unang nagsalita si Olivia. "Sa mga dumating ngayon, maraming-maraming salamat. Ikagagalak namin na makita kayo sa espesyal na araw-- gabi ngayon" she smiled, revealing her white teeth. They look like a god and goddess in front.

Sumunod na rin sa pagsalita si Denzel "Maraming salamat sa pagdating, sana magustuhan ninyo ang munting kain na inihanda namin para sainyo" His tone changed, of course ingleshero siya. Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti "Again--" He paused "Maraming salamat sa inyo" We clapped after, louder this time.

Umupo sila sa mesa na para lang sakanila sa gitna. Black shirt men started to distribute the foods "Ah no thank-" Hinayaan ko nalang ang lalaki na nagsalin na ng dugo sa baso ko. He also served a raw cow's feet on my plate, still bloody, still fresh. I gulped, intimidated by the looks of it. Hindi na bago saakin na makakita ng hilaw na karne, but serving it to a costumer awakens my peeve as a Chef.

Hindi ko kinain ang pagkain at tanging bottled water na dala ni Graychel lang ang ininom ko. Tapos na lahat kumain and the couple are talking to the guests. Olivia was talking to a lady and Denzel is talking to a young man.

I eyed at him at nang tapos na sila mag-usap I excused myself from Graychel at dali-dali nang naglakad palapit kay Denzel.

"Hey" I called.

"Lily" He waived his hands.

"Congratulations" We shake each other's hands.

"Thank you, I'm glad you came"

Sometimes....

"Thank you I'm glad to see you and Olivia are happy to each other" Binigay ko sakanya ang isang maliit na paper bag "Here is my gift" Kinuha niya 'yon kaagad at binuksan.

Not every ending ends with the person you loved.....

"What is this?" Kunot na noo niyang tanong. He raised a bottle of vial with a red liquid inside and a jar of candle.

"Sheep blood, for strength" I stared at the vial on his right hand "And a honey rose candle, I enchanted that one for your future baby's safety and for the safety of your house as well. I made that recipe just for the two of you, so you can consider that one special" I smiled at him, and he smiled back. I can't believe that he's already married.

But seeing them happy with someone else is something we should be proud of. I shattered him, and seeing him back into his pieces again made me realize that I made the right decision-- we made the right decision.

"Denzel?" I called him

"Yes? What is it Lily?"

"Can you do a promise? For me?" His drawn with curiosity. "Can you promise that you will never break Olivia's heart?"

He scoffed "Y-yes" tumango ito.

"Good" I patted his shoulder "I think I have to go" I look down and inhaled "Again.." I look at him again "Congratulations on your wedding, Denzel"
