I am sitting on a bench, a book on my lap and as I look around the area—I'm inside a church. Kumunot ang noo ko. It seems like, ako lang ang tao sa buong simbahan... but the weird part is, the whole church is decorated with flowers, satin sheets, doves by the door, red carpet and two lovely decorated seats in front of the altar. I picked up my book and walked down the aisle.
*sniff* it smells like a very pretty and wonderful girl just walked by. Tumingin ako sa likod ko, nakabukas ang mga malalaking pinto ng simbahan! Tumakbo ako doon pero parang may salamin na naka-harang! I stared outside. May isang chauffeur na binabantayan ang magadang white limousine.
"This is a wedding!" I said to myself.
I turned to face the altar at nabigla na lang ako! I felt like my heart stopped beating! Like, I am freaking dead! Ano bang nangyayari? This is getting weirder and weirder! I'm so scared yet walang tumutulong luha sa mga mata ko! Bakit ganoon?! Pinadyak ko ang paa ko! "That's it! If that creepy bride in the end of the aisle is waiting for me—" I paused. The beautiful bride doesn't look scary. She doesn't have this scary aura either. Kahit na likod niya lang ang nakikita ko, I know she's just looking for peace. "—Fine! I'll go." Sambit ko sa sarili ko.
Naglakad ako sa red carpet papunta sa aisle... I expected that it would take a minute dahil sobrang haba nung rampahan pero nagulat na lang ako nang nasa likod na ako nung babae! It's like, I was teleported! Umiling iling ako and focused.
"Ah, miss?" untag ko sakanya.
Lumingon siya sakin. O_______O She looks absolutely like a freaking goddess! "Woah! Anak ka ba ni Aphrodite? You look really beautiful!" Mangha kong sabi!
I didn't expect this!—Well, I didn't really expect all of this pero for a magical creepy world like this, I expected the lonely bride would look...dead.
"Hello, hija. Come and sit." She pointed the chair beside her.
Umiling ako at kumunot naman ang napakaganda niyang noo. "Upuan yan ng groom mo. I won't sit there."
She chuckled and smiled. "Don't worry, hindi na dadating ang groom ko."
I shrugged and prayed first na sana hindi ako multuhin nung mapapangasawa niya at saka umupo. I faced her. "Iniwan ka ba ng groom mo?—" I paused and looked around. "—at ng mga bisita niyo?—" I paused again. "—So, pati pala ang priest iniwan ka rin." Kami nga lang talaga ang tao dito—well, madaming tao sa labas ng simabahan for instance, eh yung Chauffeur.
"Hindi sila ang nang-iwan noh!" she joked. Ano raw?
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. I shivered. "You're so cold." Cold like ice. Cold like when Bella Swan accidentally touched Edward Cullen's hand!
"Can you do me a favor?" tanong niya sa akin.
Napaisip ako. I still don't know if she's a good ghost or what. Obviously, ang weird ng place na 'to and this place won't let me out so I'm guessing, I'm invited here by some ghost. And I'm guessing the ghost is this lovely bride. (Ps, the facts I know right know are from Tricke! ^_^ ) But, the fact that everything in this place is lovely minus the dull presence of everybody—parang mas nakakatakot! Bad and cruel ghosts pretend they're good so they can lure people in.
"Don't worry, honey, I'm a good spirit." Anito.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. The fact that iiwan siya ng buong angkan nila at asawa niya at ang kan nito at isama mo na ang banal na mga tao, I can't think na mabuti siya! She can be one of those vengeful brides! Yung mga iniwan o di kaya naman yung mga hindi sinipot ng mga mapapangasawa nila!
