Wedding Day
Aya's POV
I still love you, Sianne.
I never knew na may babae pa palang magpapaka-martir para lang sa lalakeng mahal na mahal niya!
"Reil!!!" Bigla akong nagising sa panaginip ko. It all seems real.
"Aya, okay lang?! Sheesh. What happened?! Why did you screamed Reil's name? Are you okay?" Samantha asked me.
"Samantha, si Reil?! Saan si Reil?! Kasama niya ba si Sianne?! Iniwan na niya ba ako?! Samantha! It felt all real!" I cried out to her.
"Aya, calm down. Just calm down. Hindi ka iniwan ni Reil, okay? Inhale, exhale. Calm down. He's here. He's already preparing for your wedding. Diba napag-usapan niyo na ni Reil 'yan? He already told you that it wasn't real. Listen to me, Aya. Today's your day so don't bother anything. Just be happy. Isn't this a drem come true?" She's right.
"Yes, Samantha. Yes."
"So, kailangan mo nang tumayo dyan para makapag-ready na tayo sa wedding mo. Papunta na yung mga bridesmaids dito. C'mon. Malapit na ring mag-start yung pictorial kaya, let's go. Chop, chop!" She tried to make me comfortable by hugging me. I chose Samantha kasi to be my maid of honor. And my other girl friends as my bridesmaids. Pinili ko nga rin na man of honor sina Darwin at Francis eh.

"Si mommy at si daddy. Samahan niyo naman po si Aya. Okay, one, two, three, smile!" Pictorial ngayon kasama ang relatives naman.
"Okay, mommy si daddy po muna." We smiled and daddy hugged me.
"Congratulations, anak. I'm so glad that you finally found the right one." Sabi ni step-dad. Ang bait talaga niya kahit hindi diya ang tunay kong daddy.
"Thanks, dad. I love you po."
"I love you too, princess."
"Mommy, tabi na po kayo kay daughter. Okay. One, two, three, smile!"
"Mamaya na ako magsasabi ng speech. Ayokong masira ang make-up nating dalawa. I'm so happy for you, anak! I love you and you will always be my baby." She kissed my forehead and I hugged her tight.
"Yung dalawang man of honor. Tabi na po kayo kay bride." Lumapit yung dalawang mokong sa akin at inakbayan nila ako for the pose.
"Congrats, cousin ko na mala-prinsesa ang itsura ngayon. Haha!! Kapag niloko ka ni Reil humanda siya sa amin ni Francis!" Darwin hugged me.
"Hahaha!! I love you too!"
"Kapatid ko, congrats! I'm so happy for you! Wag kang mag-alala! Iimbitahan ko kayo sa kasal namin ni Lexie. Ikaw pa yung best woman ko! Hahaha!! I love you! Tandaan mo yan! Ako pa rin ang pang 3rd sa puso mo ah?! Pag hindi! Mmm!! Haha!!" He tried to hide his tears but as I hugged him his tears escaped from his eyes.
"Maid of honor, tabi na po tayo kay bride." Lumapit sa tabi ko si Samantha and she kissed my forehead.
"Remember what I told you a while ago. No doubts na ha? Enjoy this day. Congrats! I love you!" We smiled. And after the pictorial, sinamahan na ako ni dad papunta sa simbahan. We climbed inside the car and we drove off to the church.
"Dad, nung pinakasalan niyo po ba si mom nagkaroon kayo ng doubts?" I asked out of the blue.
"Alam ko kasi, anak. Kung mahal mo talaga yung tao at sure ka na mahal ka niya, just go with it. Harapin mo siya and live happily ever after. Pero kung may doubts ka at hindi ka pa ready, it's your choice. Bakit, anak? Are you having doubts ba?" Am I having doubts nga ba?
