Professor's Secret

CHAPTER XXX (END)

(PLAY MEDIA FOR THE WEDDING CEREMONY)

Andrienne's POV:

"Damn, sis. You look stunning." Hestia cheered upon entering my room just to check on me. "Having cold feet yet?" Tanong nito.

"Shut up."

"You know, I could replace you and marry Vera myself." She teased. Inirapan ko naman ito.

"Shut up."

"I will be the one to tell you this. Vera is the most gorgeous woman this day. Ibibigay ko na muna ang trono."

"She's way beautiful than you."

Hestia feigned hurt. "Wow, I'm offended."

Kidding aside, if we're talking about looks? Vera and Hestia are top level, I mean it. I'm not being biased, they could easily pass as the Victoria's secret angels. I 'm not even kidding.

I looked at the mirror for the hundredth time today, and I feel like I'm missing something. I look good, the tuxedo looked really good on me.

Bigla ay ramdam ko ang pag yakap ng aking kapatid mula sa likod. I'm taller than her so she tiptoed a bit to rest her chin on my shoulder. My smile instantly plastered on my face.

Two of the most intimidating woman I have ever known has the softest and sweetest side. Tested and proven.

"It felt like yesterday when I was looking after you at the playground." She said softly, "But now, I'm looking at you getting married." Her eyes got teary and I felt genuinely happy seeing her like this. "I'm so happy you and Vera tied the knot. Ang galing mong pumili." She teased.

I chuckled, "Of course. I am a Dela Frontera."

"So am I, my little one."

"Alright. Do I look good?" I asked. Biglang bumalik ang kaba sa aking dibdib. Ilang minuto na lang mula ngayon ay ikakasal na ako.

"You are a Dela Frontera, Of course you look good." She smiled. Kumalas na ito sa yakap at tinignan ako mula ulo hanggang paa. "You've grown."

"Kinakabahan ako." Pag amin ko sakanya.

"Aw." She cooed, "Don't worry, Vera will be there." She assured.

"I know. It's just that, it feels like something's missing."

Saglit na kumunot ang noo ni Hestia but then eventually, she smiled widely.

"I know just what you need."

Lumabas ito saglit ng kwarto ko, naguguluhan man ay hindi ko na ito pinansin pa.

"I really do look good." I muttered under my breath, satisfied of what I look right now.

Maya maya ay pumasok na ulit si Hestia at may dala dala itong kahon. It's a vintage woodened storage box at may lock ito sa gitna. Hestia removed her necklace, it was mom's. Pamana niya ito kay Hestia when she turned 18. It was an heirloom of the Alviar clan, mom's side.

I wondered what was the meaning of the pendant, though. It's a small key. Mom told us that it is the key to happiness, never understood her until now.

Sinusian ni Hestia ang lock ng box and opened it. It was a bunch of letters but one thing caught me. Hestia grabbed the smaller box inside saka ako hinarap nito.

"This was a gift from mom to you." Umpisa niya, I sat on the edge of my bed upang tabihan siya. "She told me to give it to you on the day of your wedding. May it be a man or woman."

Namuo ang mumunting luha sa mga mata ko, remembering the times I had with my mother. It was bittersweet.

"Hestia."
