Epilogue
"Okay kids, oras na para rumampa sa pasilyo." Sabi nina Sister Lucy at Sister Maria sa mga bata na flowerboys at flowergirl. Ngumiti ako sa kanila nang tumingin sila sa akin, syempre ngumiti rin sila pabalik.
"This is it, anak." Dad sobbed. "I'm so proud of you."
Bumukas ang magarbong pinto ng simbahan at nagsimulang tumugtog ng musika, naglakad papasok ang mga bata sa House of the Angels na ginawa kong flowerboys at flowergirls.
Nagsimula na ring maglakad sa pasilyo ang mga kaibigan kong sina Grey, JM, Ethan, Trisha, Vivien at Blue.
Pinikit ko ang aking mga mata. Travis is waiting for me in front of the altar.
I gathered all my courage and walked when it was finally my turn hoping that I won't accidentally fall because of my heels, nagpalakpakan ang mga tao nang makita nila akong naglalakad sa aisle. Sa paglalakad ko ay nakita ko sina Marcus at Stel sa gilid na magkatabi, umiiyak sila na nakangiti sa akin, kinawayan ako ni Marcus noong nakita niyang nakatingin ako sa kanila at halatang nainis si Stel kaya't kinurot niya si Marcus sa tagiliran. Umiling ako at tumingin sa harap.
There I saw the man of my life, Travis.
Ngumiti siya sa akin.
"Anak, gusto ko ng lalakeng apo, ah?" Dad said, namula ako at umiwas ng tingin. "Galingan mo sa honeymoon."
"Dad!" I laughed.
He smiled. "Don't be nervous, this day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life." Bulong niya habang naglalakad kami.
Noong nasa harap na kami ng altar, binigay na ni Dad ang kamay ko kay Travis.
"Treasure my daughter, ok?"
He nodded. "Sure, Pa."
Pa? Did be just call Dad, Pa?
Umiling ako at ngumiti.
"You're so gorgeous, Kai." Travis muttered when Dad finally left and went to his seat. Umiwas ako ng tingin at namula. Nagsimula nang magsalita ang pari sa harap.
Mabilis na lumipas ang oras, basta't ang alam ko lang ay dumating na rin sa wakas ang pinakahihintay ko sa lahat sa kasal.
"Do you, Travis Javierres, take Kaira Chaves, in front of God's eyes, your lawfully wedded wife, promise to take care of her, cherish her, be loyal to her, and love her for as long as God plans to?"
"I do." Travis said, smiling at me.
"Do you, Kaira Chaves, take Travis Javierres, your lawfully wedded husband, promise to take care of him, cherish him, be loyal to him, and love him for as long as God plans to?"
I sighed. Two words. Just say those two words Kai and you'll officially be his wife.
Ngumiti ako.
"I do, I do, I do, forever will do."
Ngumiti si Travis.
"Therefore, I pronounce you both husband and wife." Tumingin ang pari kay Travis, "you may now kiss the bride."
He grinned.
Tinaas niya ang puting tela na nakatakip sa aking mukha, he closed the gap between our face and kissed me passionately on the lips. I closed my eyes and let his lip crash into mine.
"I love you, Kai." He whispered between our kisses.
"Magtira naman kayo mamaya sa honeymoon!" Sigaw ni Ethan kaya nagtawanan silang lahat, binatukan ni Trisha si Ethan na umiiling.
"Isang kiss pa!" Hiyaw nina Vivien at Blue. Si JM naman ay nag-thumbs up sa akin.
"Isa pa raw." Travis grinned.
Ngumisi ako. I grabbed Travis on his wrist and pulled him down, when I caught him off guard, I kissed him.
"Whoa, not so cruel, wife." He smiled.
I'm officially Mrs. Javierres.
Tumingala ako, I know Mom is watching me and so is Travis parents and li'l sis.
I closed my eyes.
I finally found what princesses always wish for... a happily ever after with the prince, but that doesn't mean that because I already found my prince then this story ends. No, this is just the beginning of my story.
This is just the beginning of my new life, not as Kaira Chaves, but...
As his wife.
I am Kaira Chaves-Javierres.
The billionaire's wife.
I'm so blessed to meet Travis Javierres.
I love you, Travis.
THE END
