Secretly In Love

32nd

[Farrah's POV]

The day of the wedding came. Umuwi kami sa Pilipinas para dito magcelebrate.

I got my wedding gown from my mother, since I wanted to have a part of her when I walked down the aisle.

Everyone was there, all of our friends and family. We decided to have a church wedding.

Pagbaba ko ng bridal car I positioned myself sa door and they played the music as the door opened and then I started to walk.

My family and friends were all looking and smiling at me as I walk and at the end there's Andrei.

He has this big smile as he looks and waits for me at the end.

Si Tita Angie ang naghatid sa akin papunta kay Andrei.

Nang makarating kami sa harap, nag mano si Andrei kay Tita.

"She's all yours." Sabi ni Tita Angie kay Andrei at iniabot ang kamay ko kay Andrei.

The ceremony started. The bible, the rings, the veil, the cord.

Then Andrei kissed me when the pastor announced that he may kiss the bride.

When we kissed me, that was the best feeling ever!!

Lumabas kami sa church as a married couple.

We went to the reception and ate and danced and watch silly videos of us.

"Palagi akong nagpapa-prayer vigil para kay Farrah, kasi kinakabahan kaming lahat na baka hindi siya mag-asawa. Kaya nang dinala niya si Andrei first time for Christmas sobrang tuwa namin. Sabi nila hindi pa sila noon, pero alam din naman namin na dito mauuwi yung pagdedeny nila....kaya Farrah and Andrei, congratulations!" Toast ni Franz.

"I've always been rooting for Andrei and Farrah. Ayaw pa nga umamin ni Farrah noong una, but still I believed na sila pa din ang magkakatuluyan. Congratulations to the both of you." Toast ni Tricia.

"I will always thank Farrah and Andrei for helping me sa pagpapatulog ng daughter ko na si Olivia. Kaya I couldn't wait to return the favor. Excited na ako makita ang babies niyo!" Toast ni Krissy.

"I couldn't believe that Andrei will end up with the very innocent Farrah. He's a very lucky man. I'm looking forward to my next visit to New York with you guys!" Toast ni James.

Tawa kami ng tawa ni Andrei sa mga toast ng family and friends namin.

"And for the last toast, let's hear from the groom." Sabi ng emcee, nagpalakpakan lahat.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming today to witness this very special day, I apprecite your love and effort. Bago matapos ang gabi na to, I wanted to have a toast for my beautiful bride...

...Farrah, naalala mo ba yung time kung saan tinanong mo ako kung anong side ng bed ang gusto ko? And I answered right side dba. I picked that side because back then I was hinting that I wanted to be your Mr. Right and today I really did become your Mr. Right. You are the most amazing thing that happened in my life and I wanted to thank you for everything, for accepting me, for taking care of me and most of all..for loving me. I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you."

Naiyak ako sa sinabi ni Andrei. Hindi ko mapigilan na hindi siya yakapin. I love him so much.

"Mr. & Mrs. Lacson will now have their first dance as a couple." Announced ng emcee.

"Shall we dance?" Aya niya sa akin. I took his hand and we dance until the night faded.

It was like a dream... Kung panaginip nga to, ayaw ko nang magising.

Tumama na sa mata ko yung sikat ng araw. Nagising ako at pagdilat ko nasa kwarto ko ako sa New York.

Para bang nagising ako sa isang mahabang panaginip.

Tatayo sana ako ng maramdaman kong may natamaan ako sa tabi ng kama ko. Pagharap ko sa kabilang side, nagulat ako nang makita ko si Andrei sa tabi ko, nagising siya nang gumalawa ako.

"Andrei! Bakit dito ka sa kwarto ko natulog?" Tanong ko nang mapaupo ako.

"Ha? Bakit?" Medyo groggy pa niyang tanong.

"Bakit hindi ka sa kwarto mo ikaw natulog?" Tanong ko ulit.

"Farrah, gising ka na ba talaga? Kung ano-ano kasi sinasabi mo eh." Naguguluhan niyang sabi sa akin.

"Bakit? Kwarto ko kaya to!" Depensa ko, umupo siya sa kama and he rubbed his eyes.

"What are you saying? Kwarto na natin to." Sabi niya habang mapungay pa yung mata niya.

"What??" Gulat ko ng sabi.

"Farrah, I'm your husband. We've been married for a week now." Sabi niya.

"I'm.... I'm your wife.."

I remember now. Totoo pala lahat ng nangyari. Hindi pala iyon panaginip. Totoo na sumayaw kami ni Andrei. Totoo na kinasal kami.

Akala ko panaginip kasi parang too good to be true lahat. Pero... totoo nga talaga. Asawa ko na si Andrei.

Hinila niya ako sa kama at kinulong sa yakap niya.

"Yes, you're my wife."
