Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 62

=== K Y L O ===

Maybe this day was really made for us.

Ilang linggo ng umuulan at ito ang unang araw na maliwanag ang kalangitan. Walang kaulap-ulap.

It was a month already after the new elected officials have been declared. I am now getting used to working in the office rather than the capitol.

"Okay na po, Sir."

Bumaba na ako sa sasakyan. What greeted me was a place full of white flowers. It was my wedding day. We decided to have it by the waterfalls. It was attended by our family and close friends. Siyempre, hindi namin kakalimutan ang mga tao mula sa lalawigan namin na gustong dumalo rin. It was open to everybody.

It was a weird concept but to our shock, the people of the province presented themselves as the planners and organizers. We wanted to pitch in and fund our own wedding of course but people just wanted to give.

The place wasn't enough of course but we wanted to see everyone who wanted to see us. Malayo man, naglakad ako para mapasalamatan ang mga taong nadaanan ko.

When I got to the altar, it was picturesque. Napaka-ganda. Heto kami at magiging isa sa harap ng mga taong mahalaga sa aming dalawa.

"I can't believe you made me your best man. Your bride almost killed me if you forgot."

Natawa ako sa sinabi ni Enteng. "I haven't forgotten. Chinn has not forgotten. Siya mismo nagsabi sa akin na ikaw ang gawin kong best man."

"So sweet of her." He snorted.

"Have you thought of this? You know...your wife-to-be is pretty scary when she gets mad."

"Let me correct you there my friend. My wife is still pretty when she gets mad." Natawa ako na parang loko-loko.

"One thing I hate about weddings bro, nakikita ko kung paano kayo nakukulong sa ilusyon ng masayang married life."

"You need the right woman, man. Iyun lang iyon. And this illusion? It will last for a lifetime."

"You got it bad man."

"I got it really bad."

It didn't take long before I heard the song for Chinn's bridal march. She was so willing to walk a long path in heels just to see the people who went there.

Ito ang mga taong minahal ang isang babae na hindi tiga-rito. She came here with zero knowledge about the country and the province. She can't even speak the language. And here she is, marrying a local boy.

She looked pretty in her Filipiniana bridal gown as requested by my mother of course.

I smiled as I watched how the people loved her.

Winter walked her down the aisle. No one else is more perfect than Winter to do the job. After all, if not for him, she wouldn't be here. If it wasn't for him, I won't meet her at all.

"I do feel like her brother right now. Please take care of each other." Sabi ni Winter sa akin.

"Yes, Sir." I took Chinn's hand and guided her to the altar.

"You look beautiful." I whispered.

"You look dashing."

As we faced the altar, the place went silent. Ang naririnig lang namin ay ang pari at ang mga tinig namin.

"Patricia Chinn, Patch...my Chinn. You are the best thing that happened to me. Ngayon, araw-araw ko ng sasabihin sa iyo na mahal kita. Kasi naiintindihan mo na ako ngayon. I waited...hanggang maintindihan mo na sa salitang kinalakihan ko. I believed 'I love you' sounds more emotional as 'mahal kita'. I won't get tired saying it. Now that we are entering a new chapter, I am happy to spend my days with you in this town where I grew, where I promised to get older. Mahal na mahal kita, Chinn."

I wiped a tear that escaped her eyes.

"Kylo, I actually don't know what to say that haven't told you yet. This is the first wedding I have attended." She chuckled nervously. "Thank you for everything. For the love and giving me a chance at happiness. Marami tayong napagdaanan na hindi maganda at para sa akin, masaya ako na nalagpasan natin iyon ng magkasama. We are here because of each other. I never had a home but one thing I promise you, I will make one with you. The happiest and warmest home with you. I love you so much, Kylo."

As I raised her veil, I caressed her face. She looked ethereal under the sunlight with our wonderful, natural background.

I slowly kissed her lips as she closed her eyes. The sound of applause faded. It was just me and my wife.

The party was held in the same grounds. Ang mga hinandang pagkain ay ang specialty ng lalawigan namin. My friends from the club were enjoying it greatly.

We didn't show how tired we were while being congratulated by the people. Our hearts were full of happiness and gratitude.

We expected a wild and sexy night but contrary to the plan, after we showered, we were knocked out in bed.

The wedding night didn't turn out to be as expected.

When I opened my eyes, I was alone in bed. The room was silent so she wasn't in the bathroom. I got up slowly and looked for her. I found her in the kitchen.

The table was set up already. Tila nagulat pa nga ito nang makita ako.

"I was about to call you for breakfast."

"I'm here now." Umupo ako sa kabisera at hinila ito. "You should have woken me up to help you."

"Matagal ko naman ng ginagawa ito eh. I cook breakfast for you everyday."

"I know. And I am grateful for that. But you were tired last night."

"It was nothing. Saka masaya ako na marami tayong nakasama kahapon. Inimbitahan mo ba naman ang buong probinsya."

"I just feel like they are my family."

"They are our family."

"So...are you ready for our honeymoon?"

"Saan ba tayo? Sa ibang bansa ba? O dito sa Pilipinas?"

I smiled. "I actually bought an RV. Mag-road trip tayo mula sa norte hanggang sa timog. It's time I give you a proper tour of the Philippines."

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito. "No way."

"Yes way. I figured the other provinces would like to see your beauty. And of course, food is always considered. Maraming mga lugar sa Pilipinas ang may masasarap na pagkain. Your palate will surely enjoy."

Niyakap ako nito. "Thank you!"

"Anything for Mrs. Crisologo."

"Hmmm...Patricia Chinn Crisologo. Sounds about right hmm?"

I smiled and grabbed her for a deep morning kiss.
