Amber's POV
IT’S around 4 pm already and I wasn't allowed to see my family and if I'm not mistaken they arrived by 9 pm this morning. Nag-uumapaw ako sa tuwa at saya ngayon dahil hindi na ako makapaghintay na makita si Clark. Dito lang din sa likod ng mansyon nila gaganapin ang kasal at sa east side naman ng mansyon ang venue. Ganiyan kalaki ang bahay nila.

Kaagad akong tumayo nang matapos na si Selene sa pag-ayos ng buhok ko at pumunta ako sa salamin, lalo akong gumanda ngayon. Nabaling ang atensyon ko sa pinto nang bumukas iyon at nakita ko ang mga bridesmaids. Hawak ni Cheska ang wedding bouquet ko at inabot iyon sa akin.

We sat together in my bed for our picture taking moment and all of us were wearing light purple bridal robes. After taking a picture, we change our clothes. Then back to taking pictures again. We even dance together. We stopped when Mae came just to deliver his father's gift. When I opened it, I saw the wristwatch that I've been dreaming of having since our 1st anniversary that is worth a half of a million dollars. I read the letter as my bridesmaids kept teasing me. They stopped when the door opened again.

"You look so pretty, sis!" nakangiting sambit ni Ate Minnie. Kasunod niyang pumasok ang parents namin pero wala si Kian. Umalis na rin ang mga bridesmaids.

"Where's Kian?" Takang tanong ko at nagkatinginan silang tatlo.

"Kian is busy somewhere but he promised na babawi siya sa 'yo..." Sagot ni Minnie pero pakiramdam ko may tinatago sila sa 'kin at ayaw nila iyong sabihin.

Naging palaisipan iyon sa akin habang naghihintay ako sa pagbukas nitong malaking pinto. Hindi ko maiwasang malungkot dahil wala ang dalawang taong isa sa mga pinakamamahal ko sa napaka-espesyal na araw na 'to. Gustohin ko mang magtampo kay Kian kasi siya mismo ang nangakong kakanta ng kanta niya pero hindi ko magawa.

Bumuntonghininga ako nang dahan-dahan nang bumukas ang malaking pintuan. Everyone is looking at me and the arch of sabers are all standing at the eentrance, this makes me feel even more nervous as I started walking slowly with them. Para namang hindi pa ako kinasal noon dahil sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.

I got emotional when I saw Clark – wearing his Military Attirm. He was wearing a white tuxedo with black ribbon on his neck, black pants, and shoes. While the insignia, it was placed on his left chest. He's crying right now.

My parents are waiting for me in the middle and mom was crying too na para bang first time niya akong masaksihang ikakasal. Nang tingnan ko si Daddy, wala akong makitang kahit anong emosyon sa mga mata niya. Kanina pa talaga ako nababagabag sa mga kinikilos nilang tatlo lalo na ang mommy ni Clark nitong mga nakaraang. Bigla na lang kasing nagbago ang trato nito sa akin matapos niyang malamang sila ang parents ko.

Hindi ko kaagad namalayang na sa harap na nila ako. Niyakap kaagad ako ni mommy saka ako nagmano sa kanila bago kami nagsimulang maglakad palapit kay Clark.

"Clark, I'm giving you now my precious daughter. Even though we both just met last night, I know and I already sense it the first time I saw you that you really love my daughter. Please take good care of her and make her feel all the love she deserves from you. Don't let her feel any pain... Just like what I did," he paused and looked at me. "I'm sorry for not being good enough father to you, but I want you to know that I really love you, Amber. You and your sister are both my precious daughters and the only princesses of my life."

At that moment we both cried as he continued talking to Clark. All I thought is he doesn't love me and doesn't care about me but I was wrong.

"If ever your love for her changes, please just bring her back to us instead of hurting her secretly. Can you?"
