CHAPTER 15: The wedding

SAMANTHA VYRONICA FERRER POV

“Are you excited on your wedding?” Mother asked.

I shook my head. “I am not.”

It's my wedding day today. And no, i can never be happy. How can i be happy? I'll be tying the knot with that manipulative man! After what happened the other day! It's all over for me.

Lumukot naman ang mukha nito at tsaka ngumuso. “You should be. Dahil magiging ganap na Mrs. Ciervo kana.”

Para sa kanila….. masaya lamang ikasal. Hindi naman kasi sila ang ikakasal. This marriage, I thought it would be a great thing for me lalo na at unti-unti na kaming nagkakaayos ni Dashell. But yeah, manggagamit siya.

And I can’t let my guard down. Ako lang siguro ang hindi masaya sa kasal na ito ngayon. I can't forget his reason behind all those smiles and actions. I must be happy, at least alam ko na may matutulungan ako. Ako mismo ang nag-isip nito pero bakit parang hindi ko matanggap? Because this voluntary help is backstabbing me.

Nakatingin lamang ako sa sarili ko sa salamin na nasa vanity table. I sighed desperately. Oh how nice is it to be happy? This is the dream of every couple, in love with each other. Baka mamatay na lang ako na puros may sama ng loob.

I want to be happy.

Ilang taon ko nang new years resolution ang maging masaya pero hindi man lang matupad-tupad.

“Tara na po” Sa pagtutok ko ng salamin ay naka eye contact ko ang isa sa staff na naka ngiti. Ihahatid na ako ngayon sa simbahan.

Marahan akong naglakad na dala ang bouquet at inayos ang veil at tsaka naglakad na papalabas ng make-up room. Tumungo na kami sa bridal car na nagiintay na sa akin.

Suminghap ako at napa buntong hininga. Why do I feel so nervous?

After weeks of preparing. Sa wakas ay nandito na ang pinaghandaan ko ng ilang linggo. I did not throw a bridal shower though. Dahil hindi rin naman totoo itong kasal.

“Art?” Gulat ako ng makita ko sa rearview mirror si Art. Hindi ko alam na siya pala ang aking driver. Napangiti naman ako at tsaka umayos sa pagkaka-upo.

“Good morning, Missy.” He said while smiling brightly.

Napangiti naman ako at tsaka tumingin sa labas. He looks handosme today, hindi siya mukhang bakla— sorry. But that's just how i describe him everyday.

“Malapit na ba tayo?” tanong ko.

“Oo.” He answered. “Hindi naman kalayuan ang venue. Just a minute and we are there.”

Bumuntong hininga naman ako sa sumunod na pagkakataon at tsaka napakagat sa aking labi.

“You looked nervous.” He said and glances at me.

I stopped from biting my lips and look at him. “Hindi ko nga alam, eh. Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito? Hindi naman ‘to totoo. But it makes me nervous. It's nerve wrecking.”

He laughed a little. “The wedding is not real but your feelings are.”

He stopped the car and the bell started ringing. He left the car and opened the door for me. Bumukas ang malaking pintuan at ang rolyo ng red carpet ay bumagsak hanggang sa kinatatayuan ko and the song started strumming.

Not sure if you know this
But when we first met I got so nervous I couldn’t speak
In that very moment
I found the one and My life had found its missing piece
