Souls in November (Holiday Series #1)

40

Nalaglag ang panga nito dahil sa sinabi ko. Tinatanya pa ako kung talaga bang gising ako o hindi. He just can't seem to understand what I'm telling him. I wanted to get married today, and I don't know why he just couldn't understand that. Malinaw naman ang sinabi ko na magpapakasal kami ngayon.

Kung magpapakasal din naman kami, why not today? Ngayong pumayag na ako parang ayaw naman niya! Basta gusto ko ngayong araw na kami magpapakasal!

"That's too impossible, A." He informed me.

"It's not!" sambit ko.

"Baby, I want a grand wedding for us." He spoke softly as he pulled me close to his chest.

Napaangat tuloy ang tingin ko sa kaniya. His one hand was gently stroking the ring on my finger, while his other hand was resting on my stomach. Hindi pa sana ito hihiga kung hindi ko lang pinilit. He can do the paperwork's tomorrow! Tulungan ko pa e!

"We can just have a grand wedding next year?" patanong kong sabi. "But have a civil wedding today?"

"We're not on a rush." he hardly said.

"Razen! I want to get married today! Don't tell me ayaw mo na?!" Napaupo na ako ng tuluyan.

Naalarma naman ito sa sinabi ko kaya napaupo na rin. "I told you how many times I want to marry you. I don't want to just have a civil-"

Padabog akong nahiga at tinalikuran siya. What's wrong with having a civil wedding? At least kasal na kami kahit ganon lang! Magpapakasal din naman kami next year ng gusto niya! Bakit ayaw niyang gawin 'yung gusto ko?!

I felt his hand on my waist but I harshly removed it. Paulit-ulit pa niya 'yon ginawa kaya nakailang hawi rin ako doon. Inabot ko pa ng marahas ang kumot na nasa paanan ko at nagtalukbong para hindi ako mahawakan pa ni Razen!

I heard him heaved a heavy sighed. "Fine. Magpapakasal tayo mamaya."

Nagsiliwanagan ang aking mata. Sabi ko na, hindi niya talaga ako matitiis! Tatayo na sana ako ng may naisipan akong gawin.

"'Wag na! Napipilitan ka lang naman yata!" I shrugged.

Umangat ang kumot ko, naramdaman ko agad ang malaking kamay niyang pumulupot sa bewang ko.

"You have to understand that I don't want you to settle for less. I want to give you the wedding you've always deserved, so I'm suggesting we get married next year so we can organize everything."

I bit the inside of my lower lip. So, he had already a plan. Now I understand why he wants our wedding to take place next year, but I also wanted to really get married to him today. Pupwede pa naman kami magpakasal next year, kahit ilang kasal pa 'yan, basta ba magpakasal kami ngayong araw.

"But because you requested that we have a civil ceremony, we'll have that today. However, remember that our wedding will still go place next year. I want to marry you in front of the altar." he roughly told me.

Unti-unti akong humarap sa kaniya. He was looking at me with very serious eyes. I immediately gave him a smile and climbed on top of him to give him a hug.

"I want to marry you too, in front of God." I whispered at him.

"And in front of our families," he tucked my hair in the back of my ears.

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya. "Thank you for saying yes to my request!"

"Anything for you, baby. But we'll still get married next year, alright?" At eto na naman siya.

I chuckled. "Yes baby. We'll get married next year too,"

Isang malutong na mura ang narinig ko mula sa kaniya bago pinapagpalit ang pwesto naming dalawa. He's already covering me.
