" Is everything okay baby? " Ford asked me while driving.

"Yeah, everything's fine Ford. Just drive, I'm so excited to fit my gown" I said. Today is fitting day. We're going at Chiana's boutique, Ford's sister together with my bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Ford and I decided to get married next week and i can't wait to travel the world with him.

At ilang sandali lang ay nakarating kami sa boutique. Bumaba kami at sinalubong naman ako ng yakap ni Chiana.

"Hi ate, how are you?" Chiana asked.

"Ate is doing fine Chiana, how about you" I asked back.

"I am a bit busy lately because of some projects but i am doing fine naman ate" she said and smiled at me.

"Do you have a boyfriend Chiana?" tanong ko kaya naman unti unting nagbago ang ekspresyon nito. Sabi na eh. "Don't worry i won't tell your brother. It's normal to have a boyfriend just know the limitations."

Lumakad na ako papalapit sa mga kaibigan ko at iniwan si Chiana na pulang-pula ang mukha.

"Oh, eto na pala ang bride eh. Parang kailan lang inaasar mo ako tapos ngayon ikaw na ang ikakasal," Caela joked. Natawa naman ang iba kong mga kaibigan. "I'm so proud of you Hail, you're so strong. I know that Ford is sick. That's why i am so proud of you."

Hindi rin nagtagal ay sinukatan na ang mga bridesmaids at syempre ako.
Naiwan kami ni Chiana sa loob dahil nagsiuwian na rin ang iba pang bridesmaids.

"Ate," Chiana suddenly call my name. "Regarding kuya's illness, how are you feeling about that?"

Natahimik ako sa tanong niya. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin matanggap na may ilang buwan na lang ang itatagal ni Ford.

"Masakit, iisipin ko pa lang na mawawala siya para na 'kong tinutusok ng daan-daang karayom. Pero anong gagawin ko? kung ito na ang binigay saaming katapusan  kwento?" dahan-dahang may tumulong luha sa mga mata ko habang sinasambit ang mga salitang binitawan.

"Ako rin naman ate, all my life nandiyan si kiya para saakin. He supported me, He helped me, He made me this" maya-maya pa ay nagyayakapan na kami ni Chiana habang bumubuhos ang luha saaming mga mata.

Patapos na kami sa pagsukat nang pumasok si Ford. "Oh? what happened to the both of you? why do you look like you cried?"

"Wala lang kuya, masaya lang si kami ni ate kasi finally ikakasal na kayo" I look at him and smiled. He smiled at me too.

"Aren't you done yet? its been one hour since you started, why did it took you so long?" lumapit saakin si Ford at tinatong ako.

"Nako naman kuya, malala ka na. Kanina ka pa pabalik-balik dito eh, paano hindi kami tatagalan eh ang dami ng sinukatan ko, at isa pa susukatan pa ako ni ate" natatawang sabi ni Chiana kaya naman sumimangot si Ford.

"Bakit ka naman magsusukat? hindi ka naman kasama sa bridesmaids?" pang-aasar din ni Ford kay Chiana.

"Sige lang kuya, baka nakakalimutan mong ako ang magtatahi ng gown ng mga bridesmaids at ng bride mo?"

"I'm just kidding, of course kasama ka, ikaw pa mawala? eh I'm sure naman na gustong gusto mong Aris" namula bigla ang mukha ni Chiana ng banggitin ni Ford ang pangalan ng bbf ni Chiana na kapatid ni Caela.

"Aris huh?" pang aasar ko sakanya.

"ate naman eh!"
