Limasawa Island
Narating ko ang address na ipinadala ni Azalea, biglang bumilis ang tibok ng aking puso dahil sa kaba. In front of me stands a small, quiet church, its silhouette dark against the night sky. For a moment, I wonder if I'm in the right place because there's no sign of life, no lights, just silence.
I push open the large iron gate, and as soon as I step inside, the world shifts. One by one, lights begin to glow, illuminating the garden around me. Trees adorned with fairy lights cast a golden hue, and lanterns line the cobblestone path leading to the church. The stained-glass windows start to shimmer with light from within, transforming the building into something magical.
I'm frozen for a moment, overwhelmed by the beauty of it all, until I see figures approaching. They're smiling, their faces warm and welcoming. One of them steps forward, holding a suit in their hands-dark, elegant, and perfectly tailored.
"This is for you." They say softly, their tone brimming with excitement.
I take the suit, nanginginig ang mga kamay ko habang sinusuot ito. It fits perfectly, as if it were made just for me. What is Azalea's doing? Why does this feel like a dream?
I follow their guidance toward the church, the heavy wooden doors creaking open as I step inside. My breath catches in my throat. The chapel is breathtaking. Candles line the pews, their flames casting soft, flickering light across the room. Petals are scattered along the aisle, and at the far end, there she is.
Azalea.
She looks like a vision, standing there in a gown that seems to glow with its own light. Her eyes meet mine, and the love I see there is almost too much to bear. My steps are slow, deliberate, as I walk toward her. My heart is racing, my hands trembling, but when I reach her, everything else fades away.
"I wanted to give us this moment," aniya at puno ng emosyon ang bawat salita. "No contracts, no doubts. Just us, here.."
I can barely breathe. My throat is tight with emotion, and all I can do is nod. "Aza..." I whisper, but words fail me.
The officiant begins to speak, and I barely hear the words. All I can focus on is her, how her hand feels in mine, how her eyes never leave my face, how every part of this moment feels like it was written in the stars.
When it's time for the vows, I pour everything I feel into my words, and when she says hers, I know I will never love anyone the way I love her- them.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife." The officiant says, at nagpalakpakan ang mga nakasaksi ngunit halos hindi ko na sila pinansin. I pull Azalea close, nanginginig parin ang kamay kasunod ang malambing na paghaplos ko ng kanyang pisngi.
"I love you." Bulong ko at dahan-dahan inilapit ang aking mukha sa kanya. Our lips meet in a kiss that feels like the beginning of everything, and I feel complete.
Outside, under a canopy of stars, we celebrate. The air is filled with music, but all I can see is her. We dance together, her hand in mine, her head resting on my shoulder. In this moment, the world belongs to us, and I know wala akong ibang hiling sa kanya kundi ang magkapiling lang kaming dalawa habang buhay.
