Admiring You From Afar

36

"Kamusta ang paguusap niyo ni kuya Duke?" tanong ko sa kay Gyle, she didn't respond instead she gave me a faint smile with a heavy sigh.

"It's our business already yam, for now let's plan your wedding" sagot niya sa tanong ko, after that incident during our reunion ay nag usap kami ni aldrin about our plans for our wedding. Pinagsawalang bahala lang namin ni aldrin yun and he told me na he trusts me more than he trusts himself, ako din naman, I trust him with all my heart and will never betray him over some guy who broked my heart and ruined my life.

"Ano ang gusto mong theme?" tanong ni gyle saakin, sa ngayon kasi ay pinaguusapan namin kung ano ang theme color na gusto ko,

"I'm thinking between old rose and olive-green colors, oo fave color ko yung pink but I just want my wedding to look elegant" sagot ko sa tanong niya

"And aldrin loves green colors too" dagdag ko pa

"I thought he likes color grey?'' tanong ni lyza saakin, kasama ko syempre si lyza since she's my maid of honor.

"That's one of his favorite colors, pero yung green talaga ang dominant" sagot ko sakanya at tinitignan ang mga pictures na pwede maging theme sa kasal namin. Sabi nila na ang gusto sa babae raw talaga ang priority but I beg to disagree with that thought, wedding should be planned together with your spouse, kasi yung kasal ay para sainyong dalawa hindi lang para sayo. So, it should be memorable not just for you but also for your partner.

"Since both of you have different taste when it comes to colors, what if let's do this sage green and dusty pink theme?" suggest ni lyza saakin, tinignan ko naman ito at maganda nga siya, 

"Brilliant idea Lyza" sabi ni gyle habang tinitignan rin niya ang mga pictures

"The color goes so well with my garden themed wedding" sabi ko sakanilang dalawa, tinawag ko yung wedding planner na mag hahandle sa lahat ng decorations para sa reception ng kasal namin ni Aldrin.

"Yes, po ma'am?" ani niya nung tuluyan na siyang nakalapit saamin,

"I want a garden themed wedding, and the colors should be a combination of colors sage green and dusty pink" sabi ko sakanya at may kinalikot naman siya sa ipad niya,

"Baka may gusto pa kayong idagdag sa decorations ma'am?'' tanong niya saakin

"Make sure na may butterflies, at yung mga flowers ay tulips and carnation" sabi ko sakanya, tulips are my fave flowers, habang yung carnation naman ay sa kay aldrin, again my plan is that this wedding is for the both of us, not just for me.

"Noted Ms. Bautista" sabi nung wedding planner at umalis na siya

"puntahan na ba natin yung sa wedding gown mo?'' tanong ni Lyza saakin, tinanguan ko naman siya bago ko tawagan si aldrin, he is also busy together with his groomsmen, siya kasi ang pina decide ko sa food, habang kami girls ay sa decorations.

[Hello love, kamusta?] tanong ko sa kay aldrin sa tawag

[We are still finalizing the food love, how about you and the girls] tanong naman niya saakin

[We are done for the theme and now pupuntahan namin yung gown ko, siguro we will just use our private jet papunta sa manila, since nandoon ang gown ko] sagot ko sa tawag niya, and yeah nasa manila pa yung gown na pinagawa ko, 

[Ayaw mo ba na samahan kita?] tanong niya saakin

[Love bawal ka makakita sa gown ko] sagot ko sakanya and I heard him chuckled

[Okay mahal] tawa niya 

[Bukas na tayo pumunta para sa cake] sabi ko sakanya

[Okay love, take care, okay? I love you] paalam niya saakin

[You too love, I love you more!] sagot ko naman sakanya bago patayin ang phone ko.

After our talk, the girls and I immediately went to laguindingan, nandoon kasi nakaparada yung private jet namin, nagpaalam na ako kay mama at papa na gamitin yun at pumayag naman sila.

Since the weather is great madali lang kami nakapunta sa Manila. Currently, Lyza and Gyle are debating if whether I should pick the mermaid or ball gown type

"mas maganda yung ball gown type kasi para siyang prinsesa" sabi ni gyle, the ball gown is indeed beautiful, very princess vibes with its bow behind, tapos off shoulder pa siya and it fits my waist so well,

"You are right naman, but the theme is garden wedding, I guess mermaid fits the concept well" ani ni lyza, maganda din naman tong mermaid type na gown it may look simple but as you look at the details, especially sa likod ang ganda ng patterns, it also highlights both my waist and bust areas.

Hindi pa sila matapos tapos sa kaka debate ng aking gown ay may nakita ako na gown, it looks so beautiful

"Can you explain this to me" sabi ko babaeng nag eentertain saamin

"So this is a Cape Detailed Pearl Embroidered Empire Waist Wedding Dress. The dress is beautifully decorated with pearl embroidery, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated look. It has an empire waist design, where the waistline sits just below the bust, creating a flattering and graceful silhouette. Gawa po ito sa satin, lace, and chiffon fabric kaya po pag sinuot niyo ito magaan po siya sa pakiramdan at di masyadong mainit. Also this fits with your theme po, I overheard it kasi na garden themed wedding yung theme niyo" explain niya saakin, kinuha ko agad yung dress at sinukat, tinulungan naman niya ako and tama nga siya ang gaan sa pakiramdam, though maluwag yung sa waist part but it can still be adjusted to my size naman, nilagyan niya muna ng pin sa likod at agad ko ito pinakita kela gyle at lyza,

"Yam, bagay sayooo!" Tili ni gyle

"I'm sure aldrin will fall for you even more" komento naman ni lyza, tumigil na rin sila sa wakas kaka debate sa gown ko

"I love this" sabi ko sakanya

"Go for it!" Sabi naman ni gyle

"Okay! I will get this" sabi ko sa babae

"Okay ma'am we will just need to get your exact measurements po para ma highlight talaga ng gown yung katawan mo po" sabi niya saakin, agad naman ako tumango at nagsimula na siya sa pag sukat saakin.

Natapos na kami sa measurements ko and by next week final fitting and next month na nila ipapadeliver ang gown ko saakin.

"Okay tapos na tayo sa gown mo, bukas naman na yung invitation cards and bouquet mo sa umaga then sa hapon yung cake kasama si aldrin myloves mo" sabi ni lyza saakin, gosh my maid of honor is very hands on talaga!

Nakabalik na kami sa Iligan and currently nasa bahay ako kasama sina kuya drake and kuya duke, ever since na bumalik na si gyle, nakikipag bonding na ulit si kuya duke saamin at inaayos na niya ang sarili niya

"I can't believe na ikakasal kana alya" sabi ni kuya drake saakin

"Ako nga din po kuya, di ako makapaniwala na soon magiging montefalcon na ako" sabi ko sakanya

"Pag sinaktan ka man niya, sabihin mo agad saamin" sabi ni kuya duke saakin

"Ofcourse kuya" sabi ko sakanila 

As a woman, I know my worth; even if I love him so much, if ever I feel disrespected, I will immediately end everything. Pero alam ko naman na hinding hindi ako sasaktan ni aldrin, he saved and healed me, I trust him and I will continue to do it.

(end is near, but there's coming)

If you know, you know :-)
