Married by ACCIDENT

Chapter 40

*We were given two hands to hold, two legs to walk on, two eyes to see, and two ears to listen from. But why did God only give us one heart? Simply because the other one was given to someone else whom we were destined to find.

One Year Later

Lyka’s POV

 

“And now, let us all welcome, one of the most popular and sought-after song artists in the music industry, Lyka Nadine Santiago!” Announce ni Sharpay Ocampo, ang host ng “Star Talk”, isa sa mga pinakasikat na variety shows dito sa Pilipinas.

Lumitaw ako mula sa backstage ng studio at madaling sinalubong ng malakas na hiyawan mula sa audience. Ngumiti ako at nag-wave sa mga spectators, natutuwa sa maligalig na pag-welcome nila. Umakyat ako sa stage, at dagli akong pinatungo ni Sharpay sa isa sa mga upuan doon. Agad naman akong umupo pagkatapos.

It has already been more than one year ever since my reunion with Keith, at marami na talagang mga pagbabagong naganap simula ng araw na iyon.

One week after we finally got back together and became an official couple, kinailangan na naming tumungo sa Malaysia nina Bliss, Blair, Cedric, Kuya Carter, Kuya Chris at Kuya Marvin, since we still had to prepare for our grand concert and attend to several other important events being held there.

Buti naman at maayos ang aming naging communication ni Keith sa isa’t isa despite being in different countries and having dissimilar timezones. Our arrangement completely worked out for the two of us, even though we were both so busy with our own professions, and even when I was travelling from country to country due to the concerts that I had to attend to.

And despite our long-distance relationship, Keith always made the effort to contact me almost every single day. He would either send me e-mails, exchange messages with me on Facebook or video chat with me on Skype. Two months ago, he even took a one-week leave from work just so he would be able to visit me in Washington.

Kung tutuusin, he’s really making an effort para lang mabawi ang napakahabang panahong nasayang dahil sa aming paghihiwalay. He’s completely devoted to me and our relationship, and he’s certainly doing everything that he can just to prove to me and to everyone else how true and sincere his love for me is. And that’s one of the main reasons why I love him all the more. (^////^)

Also, it seems like it wasn’t only my relationship with Keith that blossomed throughout the year. Three months after our return to Washington, muling tumungo si Kuya Carter dito sa Pilipinas at nag-propose na rin ng kasal sa wakas kay Ate Margaux. And after two months, they finally got married.

Furthermore, one month after Ate Margaux and Kuya Carter’s wedding, tumungo naman sa Washington si Drake, and immediately asked Bliss for her hand in marriage. Kuya Chris also proposed to Blair at the same time, and after one month of well-detailed preparations, idinaos ang kanilang double wedding sa Washington.

In addition, Dustin also proposed to Levi two months ago, and the two of them are finally getting married next week.

Hay, sunud-sunod na talaga ang mga kasalang ginaganap simula sa nakaraang taon hanggang sa kasalukuyan no? Pawang sa aming mga magbabarkada, kami na lang ni Keith ang natitirang couple na hindi pa rin kinakasal. I mean, kahit na kinasal na kaming dalawa noon, naghiwalay rin naman kami sa huli. So technically, as of the moment, our civil statuses are both divorced. (~_~)

Moreover, napag-alaman kong official couple na sina Valerie at Devin, samantalang sina Piper at Bendix ay mayroon na ring kani-kanilang mga karelasyon. Truly, I can justly testify that love is very much in the air for all of us. (^O^)
