Innocent Seductress (COMPLETE)

Epilogue

"Every story has an end but in life, every end is a new beginning."

This world is filled with decisions and choices in different kinds of situations. The decisions that we take today decide what our future will be. Making choices is actually really hard. We often choose the wrong ones depending on our priorities and personalities.

We always go through a lot of choices everyday but we just don't notice it. From the moment we wake up, we decide on what to wear or what to eat and at night, we decide to either go to sleep or read a story first instead.

Life is just a matter of choice but just like a quote from a movie says : To choose between right or wrong is simple, but what defines one's life is the decision between the greater of two goods or the lesser of two evils.

We often take the right decisions for granted because of our grudges and our desire to avenge on someone. We sometimes ignore the fact that we should just forgive and forget. We are often blinded by hatred and anger.

Sometimes, when faced with problems, we need to choose: to fight or to run away from it. Most of us decide to run away from our problems forever. It ends up, we will be running away from it for the rest of our days. We're often weakened by our fears and doubts.

Love is probably the most powerful emotion for it can either fix or break you. At certain times, love gives us too much choices. We sometimes need to decide when to let go or when to fight for it. But the most hardest decision is whether you should follow your heart or your mind. At the end of the day, you need to make decisions that you won't regret in the end.

"Nako! Male-late na ako! Anong oras naba?" Angel murmured.

She took a deep breath and smiled. She's standing infront of a mirror applying a red lipstick on her soft lips. She's elegant, fierce,confident and seductive. People look up to her for she's every man's dream. Who could even imagine her past? She has been through a lot of trials and obstacles, but look at her now, she's happy and contended. Her heart already learned to forgive and now, she's filled with love.

"Okay ka lang ba, anak?" Sabi ng mama ni Angel.

"Opo, ma. Galit na po ba 'yung pari? Late na po tayo."

"Huwag kang mag-aalala. Oh, okay ka na ba dyan?"

"Dapat perfect ang lahat, ma. This is a very special day."

"Ikaw bahala. Sige na, maganda ka na. Ay hindi, mas lalo ka pang gumanda. Manang-mana sa akin."

Napatawa nalang silang dalawa habang lumalabas sa silid. Agad na silang pumasok sa kotse at ipinagmaneho na sila papunta sa simbahan.

"Nakaka-nerbyos naman." Sabi ng mama ni Angel.

Ngumiti naman si Angel at hinawakan ng mahigpit ang kamay ng ina.

"Everything will be just fine."

Huminto na ang kotse sa tapat ng simbahan. Huminga muna sila ng malalim bago sila tuluyang bumaba sa kotse. Sabay silang naglakad sa pasilyo ng simbahan papunta sa dulo kung saan nakatayo ang pari,si Prince at ang ama ni Angel.

"This is it." Bulong ni Angel.

Angel became teary-eyed while walking at the aisle. She glanced at her mother who is also teary-eyed and her father. She saw Prince smiling and watching her every step closer to the altar.

"Here we go." Sabi ni Angel sabay hawak sa kamay ng kanyang ina.

Ngumiti muna si Angel at niyakap ng mahigpit ang kanyang ina bago tuluyang ipinasa ni Angel ang kamay ng ina sa kanyang ama. Niyakap niya rin ang ama at tinapik sa balikat.
