Baby

"Clyde! Are you ready?" Nakangiting tanong ni Aldrich sa 'kin. Tumango lang ako dito bilang sagot, kahit ang totoo naman ay sobrang kinakabahan ako.

"Do you take Clyde Morrigan Ezekiel Garvin as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest asked.

"When I saw you among the people who oppressed you, the people who hurt my future husband, I felt sorry for not knowing you earlier to protect you from them. When I saw your eyes that were so scared that they seemed like a nightmare to me, I promise I won't do what they did to you, I promise we will both be happy. I will fill our home with your giggles. I will make you feel the love you never felt before, I promise that you will never cry again and you will never feel their pain again. I promise that you are the only man I will love until I die. I love you"

"I do" masaya kong sagot sa kanya kahit ang totoo  tumutulo na ang luha 'ko.

“I give this ring as a sign of my love.” kahit luhaan ang mga mata niya, kita parin sa kanya kung ga'no siya kasaya.

Tuluyan nang tumulo ang luha niya bago isuot ang gintong singsing sakin. Pinunasan niya rin ang luha 'ko gamit ang mainit niyang mga kamay.

"Mr. Clyde Morrigan. Do you take Aldrich Masen Cueves as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I knew from your eyes then that you were worried about me the night you saw me. that night is a nightmare for me, but you seem to be the light that saves me. I promise you won't worry about me. I promise you will never save me from harm again because I will protect myself and our marriage. thank you because I met someone like you who is gentle, happy, kind and respectful. sorry sometimes we don't understand something but you still do everything to apologize. I promise that I will give you all my love until we grow old and disappear from the world. I love you until we grow old"

"I-i do" mas lalo siyang umiyak “I give this ring as a sign of my vows.” ako bago isuot ang silver na singsing sa kanya.

"You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide. Amen. You may now fill your vows with a kiss"

Natatawa ako sa kanya na ewan, dahil habang inaabot niya ang labi 'ko humihikbi siya. Kaya ako na lang ang humalik.

Ngumiti siya nang mag kalayo na ang mga labi namin. "I-I love you babe, you are Cueves now. " at hinalikan ako sa tuktok ng mata. "I love you too" i answered sincerely, and hugged him.

This is the day I will never forget, because on this day, we promise at the altar that we will love each other even when we are old or until we die.

I felt someone poking my cheeks. "Clyde? "

Dahan-dahan kong minulat ang isa kong mata at medyo malabo pa ang pang aninag 'ko kaya hindi 'ko masyado na mukha-an ang lalaking nakaluhod sa gilid 'ko.

"Clyde!" Kinurap-kurap 'ko pa ang mata 'ko at napagtanto kung sino 'tong kaharap 'ko.

"Henry?" Pag kompirma 'ko. Because his voice seems familiar.

Kinuskus 'ko ang mga mata 'ko at kumurap-kurap.  "Don't rub your eyes cuz it is still swollen!" Kinuha niya ang mukha 'ko at tinabig ang dalawa 'kong kamay. I was no longer surprised by his facepalm cuz he always does that.
