ALASTAIR ARMENDAREZ

CHAPTER 25

THREE days is too short if I will stick to my plan of my dream church wedding. It has to be perfect, intimate and beautiful. I have a lot of thoughts in my mind right now. I have a lot of ideas but I decided to be simple yet memorable. All I want is to get married to him. That's all!

He told me that we will having our beach wedding on his own property in Iba, Zambales. I've never been there but as I found the place in the google–it was indeed beautiful and calm. I never imagine that he will own a lot of properties and real estate right now. I just can't help but to be proud and admire him.

He let me choose whatever I want in our upcoming wedding. From my bridal gown, the theme and motif, the make-up and everything. He was so really supportive this time even if he's busy working. He even told me that he will be the one that gonna set for this occasion and my presence will be enough.

"You look so perfectly beautiful, Anak! Oh god, I'm still processing in my mind that you were finally getting married." Mama suddenly told me as I finally fit my wedding dress for fitting rehearsal.

"Thank you Mama. I really can't believe also." Parang ang bilis ng mga pangyayari. I felt like I am dreaming right now.

"I am so much happy for you anak." she hug me.

"Do you have any requests for your wedding dress, Ms. Hommerson?" Chalsea, the owner ask me.

"I'm fine with this, Chalsea. It's perfectly fit for me. Thank you so much for you and your team for the effort." I said.

"We are so glad to hear a beautiful compliment from you, Ms Hommerson. You look so gorgeous."

"Thank you! We should get this na ba?"

"We will just deliver to your door today, Ms Hommerson."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Chalsea. I owe you a lot." I smiled to her.

I thank her and her staff as well before we leave the store. Georgina help me with this kaya hindi na ako nahirapan pa.

"Nasaan na raw ba si Alas, Anak?" Mama ask me as we heading to the restaurant for grab our lunch.

"He's on his way na, Mama. Siguro traffic lang." sabi ko.

This is the second time that they will met again. The first time they met, they were too shy for each other. We decided that we just met in the restaurant after my fitting.

"Anyway, I already found a condo for us Mama for our home."

Simula kasi ng makarating kami dito sa Pilipinas ay sa hotel kami pansamantala tumutuloy. We don't have any family or relatives here. Wala na 'ring contact si Mama sa pamilya niya matagal na. And for now, we are planning to buy our own for me and Mama.

"Can we look at it first Anak?" Mama told me. "You know, I don't want to be demanding anak–pero alam mo namang mas okay pa ako sa mga natural na bahay."

"I understand you Mama. We will check it after our lunch."

"Thank you Anak!" I smiled at her and hold her hand.

"You know mama, I want to give you everything hangga't kaya ko." Sabi ko.

"..oh you're getting me emotional again, Ara." sabi naman nito sa akin para matawa ako.

Nakarating kami sa Italian restaurant at kaagad na nahagilap ng mata ko si Alas.

"Akala ko ba papunta palang siya, Anak. Mukhang nauna pa yata ang nobyo mo sa atin. Nakakahiya!" Mama commented.
