The Big Day

Days before Cyra's birthday, Adiel and her tie the knot.

"Congrats, parents!" bati ni Khian sa bagong kasal na sina Cyra at Adiel.

The newlyweds were roaming around after eating dinner.

The wedding ceremony finished and everyone was now in the reception venue. It was an afternoon wedding in a Tagaytay chapel. The weather is surprisingly cold nowadays, so the matrimony, although held in an open space, was a pleasant time. Hindi mo makikitaan na may nagpapaypay na guests habang kinakasal sina Cyra at Adiel. Siguro dahil din Disyembre na.

"Thanks, Khian. Alyssa," Cyra said before hugging Alyssa. "Thanks for coming, guys."

Alyssa smiles and looks at her longtime friend. "Happy for you, Cy. Love you guys."

"We love you too."

Adiel looks at Khian's fiancee and smiles at her before saying, "kayo na next."

Min also congratulated the two. "Best wishes, you too." Adiel smiled at her and shook her hand.

Among Adiel's college and high school friends, ang hindi lang pumunta at invitied ay si Camille. He had not been in contact with her ever since he told her to stop touching him. Paano, e, no'ng sinabi 'yon ni Adiel, mas lalo lang siyang hinawak-hawakan ng babae pagkatapos. It became clear to Adiel that she was continuously disrespecting his girlfriend, and he couldn't have that. Kinausap niya muli nang masinsinan ang babae, pero after no'n ay hindi na siya pinansin ni Camille.

While Cyra and Adiel were preparing the wedding, Cyra asked the man if he wanted to invite her. Sabi ni Adiel, wala ng rason para imbitahin si Camille. Given na hindi na ito nagparamdam sa kaniya after college, alam niyang wala na silang koneksiyon at hindi na kailangan isali sa bibigyang ng wedding invitation.

"Say, congratulations, ninang," Gwyneth said to her son while Cyra was coming near them.

"Nangnang!" sabi ng bata.

Cyra bows and smiles at the boy. "Thank you, sweetheart! How are you?"

The little boy smiles at Cyra and looks at his father, Francis. "Congrats, Cy, Diel," salita ng ama.

Adiel puts an arm around his wife. "Thanks, 'buti umabot kayo. Akala ko 'di na kayo aabot sa simbahan."

"Yeah, maagang natapos breakfast kina Mama, kaya nakaabot," si Gwyneth.

Adiel and Cyra were shocked when they found out the two had a kid already. Apparently, hindi naman nagtagal ang pagsasama nina Delphine at Francis no'ng college—hindi kasi nagkukuwento ang lalaki. Tapos, no'ng last year ng kolehiyo, nagkita ng hindi sinasadya sina Gwyneth at Francis sa isang speed dating event. They, suprisingly, hit it off and dated until Gwyneth got pregnant. Nagpakasal sila last year at ngayon ang unang taon bilang mag-asawa.

"Gawa kayo agad para may kalaro 'to," Gwyneth muttered to Cyra.

Cyra laughs and shakes her head. "Ikaw talaga."

"Sige, Gwen, ako bahala sa kalaro ng inaanak ni Cy." Sagot ni Adiel.

The bunch laughed as the music was beginning to get louder.

"Akala ko dadalhin mo boyfriend mo," ani Cyra kay Delphine.

"Hindi siya pinayagan mag-leave, e, kasi may hinahabol silang project," Delphine answered.

"Sayang," Adiel said.

Naputol ang kumustahan ng mga magkakaibigan nang tawagin na ang bagong kasal sa harap dahil sisimulan na raw ang mga laro.
