Narda,
Colorful lights and lively music surround us as we walk alongside the crowds. A breeze brings the sound of singing in the air and the smell of delicious foods. Our friends and families are now busy chitchatting while eating various foods.
Regina and I came back from our hotel room, changing our clothes into a comfortable one. I am still amazed how I pull out this suprise wedding for her. For my wife.
Shet kinikilig ako, aniya sa sarili. Nang makalapit kami ay agad na ipinaghila ko ng upuan si Regina. The setting of our simple reception was near the beach. Under the night sky that full of stars.
I watch her while eating. She smiles widely. Kitang-kita sa mga mata niya ang saya and it makes my heart melt. I find myself staring at her. The most beautiful face I've ever laid my eyes on. Her beauty is intoxicating. Her smiles and dark eyes are filled with joy, her face framed by curls as dark as the night sky.
'You okay?
'Ha?
'Kako okay ka lang ba? Kanina ka pa kasi tulala', Regina said while smiling.
'Oh, oh. Did I make you uncomfortable Bub?
'Silly. You never made me feel uncomfortable, Narda. Ikaw nga inaalala ko kanina ka pa tulala.
'Okay lang ako Bub. I just can't help being mesmerized by your beauty.
'Bolera!
'Hoy nagsasabi lang ako ng totoo.
'Asawa mo na ko, dimo na ko kailangang bolahin.
Asawa. Asawa mo na ko.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! Kinikilig ako shutaaaaaa, aniya sa sarili.
Regina slapped her arms.
'Lutang ka na naman.
'Sorry na. Kinikilig ako inside eh', natatawang sambit niya.
We still playfully bantered when we hear someone's voice.
'Ehem. Mic check, mic check.
It was my cousin Maloi, who's now standing with the band a few meters away from us.
'Okay pa ba tayo diyan? tanong nito.
I am wondering what they will do. Wala akong alam sa set of programs na sinet nila. I just tell them na bahala na sila ni Colet. Right in time, Colet joins her holding a white long paper.
Third person's POV,
'Okay for tonight's fun, we would like to call on our newly weds. Mrs. and Mrs. Custodio-Vanguardia/Vanguardia-Custodio', Colet said. 'Bahala na kayong mag-asawa anong apelyido mauuna ha.
Regina and I laughed. Ano kayang balak ng mga batang 'to.
'Anong program niyo? tanong ko.
'Leave it to us Ate', Maloi said. 'Basta pagtapos naman ng gabing ito asawa mo pa din naman si Doc V.
Aalma sana si Regina ng biglang mag-salita muli si Maloi.
'Oh, oh wag na umangal Doc V. Di kita kayang tawaging Regina lang kahit bestfriend ka ng pinakamamahal ko. Tapos asawa ka ng Ate ko, di naman pa ako sanay sa Ate kaya hayaan mo na ko.
'Okay', Regina smiles.
'Okay let's proceed at humahaba na ang gabi', saad muli ni Maloi. 'Katuwaan lang ha walang pikunan. Bilang nasa harapan natin ang ating newly weds nais kong sila ang mauna sa palarong ginawa namin ni Colet.
