The ceremony ended quickly. I managed to secure the right ring sizes for her finger and mine. Diezel signed the documents, and they were processed quickly. Before I knew it, I was holding it now in my hand. I then send the document scan to Xavion for the files to keep in the Mondragon OFS.

'Congratulations. Let me know if you plan to marry again in the Philippines. I'll make sure all the boys will be present. When you return from your honeymoon, we will have the traditional ceremony. We'll be waiting.'

Napailing ako nang mabasa ang sagot ni Xavion sa email ko.

"There is no next to this wedding, and that's for sure. As for the tradition, I will ask the boys to keep it. I don't need it anyway."

"You can't say no to the boys, Glenn. That's bad manners." Diezel snorted behind me. He is now holding a beer in hand. "Cheers!" He drank.

Umikot ang tingin ko at hinanap si Eres.

Nasa isang pribadong resto kami. Diezel reserved the whole place as a token gift and I didn't know this.

"Thank you for being our witness." Kumuha na ako ng white wine mula sa maliit na bar at tinikman ito. I rolled my tongue after I tasted them, and my eyes sought Eres again. 

Where the hell did she go?

"In fairness, the two of you looks perfect," pilyong ngiti ni Diezel. "Can you be honest with me? Have you met Erykah before?"

I gritted my teeth. It would be a lie if I said no because I remember that I had met her, and that was probably eight or nine months ago. I wasn't sure, but it was during the SOLO FF.

That day, I proposed to her. I remembered the first time we met. I don't know what kind of life she had back then or why she changed her appearance, but that doesn't matter anymore. 

Kampante ako sa kanya nang inalok ko ulit ang kasal, dahil alam ko ang kakayahan niya pagdating negosyo at sa ibang bagay.

She knows what she's doing, and that answers all the questions I had in mind back then when she became my driver that day. There's nothing perfect to take the rule as my wife but her.

I told Eres about Diezel last night and that he would be our witness and the only person who knows the real deal about us. 

"When are you leaving for Dalton?" Umiwas ako sa tanong at tinanong siya sa ibang bagay.

"That's not the answer I need, Glenn. You're not answering my question."

I finished my drink with a slight smile, and Eres emerged from the other doorway, saving me from Diezel.

"Eres, cheers!" si Diezel sa kanya at malawak ang ngiting pinakawalan niya kay Diezel.

My lips thinly formed a slight smile when I looked at her. . . Simple as it is but elegant. That's Eres.

"Sorry. Sumakit kasi ang tiyan ko." Tumabi na siya sa akin at saka kumuha ng inomin sa bar counter.

"Don't drink yet. Let's get something to eat."

Kinuha ko agad ang alak sa kamay niya at inilapag ito pabalik sa bar counter. Umikot akong bahagya at saka hinintay siya para magsabay kami patungo sa mesa.

"Okay."

I guided her to her seat, and Diezel settled across from us. The staff served our meal, and I helped Eres put the tablecloth napkin on her lap. She seemed calm, and I couldn't read her mind. My jaw tightened the moment my eyes caught a glimpse of the ring on her finger.
