Love they say is One step at a time..you can't hurry it nor you can't force it. It is something that you want to take slowly but surely and Love is a feeling you put actions on, whether its small or big as long as you give your best into it.
Love i...
(A/N: As I've said, Scenarios is a continuous story. A next chapter of a previous one, in short, it's a series, hahahaa. The story actually started 5 years after when Maine and RJ decided to take their relationship to the next level.
Yes, family life it is. But, don't expect a full blown SPG scenes during their honeymoon because I don't think I can do it. I'm trying to read different mature fan fictions of the two so that I can find inspirations and motivations and somehow, some of the readings I made just left me "Wow", grabe sila sa imagination, hahaha. )

Maine didn't thought that planning a wedding would be this taxing. It made her rethink of her decision to marry RJ. It was fun at the start, actually she was so excited to polish every detail of their wedding until it started to stress her out.
Food and cake tasting, venue reservations, deciding between the pros and cons of having a buffet versus a sit down dinner and even the simplest color of table napkins has been considered, that' how thorough she is with all the details. Kasi naman, minsan lang ikakasal ang babae noh. Once in a lifetime kaya toh and the first one will always be a beautiful memory that every girl relives in her lifetime. Dapat perfect lahat, she thought.
Richard on the other hand is not the one to help, ipinagkakatiwala na raw niya sa akin ang lahat ng detalye. Kung ano ang gusto ko, yun raw ang masusunod, although I do ask him in making big decisions like naming our ninongs and ninangs. He also updates me of everything, especially kapag nakikita niyang nai-stress na ako.
But there's one time, when I'm feeling all the exhaustion of the preparation he just barge in my unit and declared his wonderful idea.
"Pakasal na tayo, ngayon na mismo,"
"......."
"We can have a civil wedding. Pagkatapos saka nalang natin asikasuhin yung church wedding natin," he said wriggling his eyebrows.
"......"
"What do you think?" he asked, with a smirk in his lips.
"RJ, we can't hurry it at saka ano ba pumasok sa isip mo naisipan mong magpakasal ng ora-orada?"
"Para di ka na mastress. Stress na stress ka na ehh, may wedding organizer naman tayo pero parang ikaw ang babayaran ko kasi ikaw ang aligaga sa kaka-ayos ng lahat. Pinaaalalahanan kita Meng, baka sa sobrang pagod at stress mo, di mo ako siputin sa araw ng kasal natin?"
She wanted to laugh out loud sa expression ni RJ. He was so serious and being cute with his eyebrows forming one line on his forehead that she can't help but give him a peck on his lips.
The second time he suggest it was during the time that she didn't pay him any attention for three consecutive days because of all the wedding stuffs she have to deal with and a phone call from him in a whining voice just make her day.
"Meng, huling sulyap ko sa'yo ay noong Huwebes, Linggo na ngayon ohh. I need to see you,"
"Tisoy, busy-busyhan ang fiancé mo. Kumalma ka, kasal mo rin toh at mabuti na rin yan para mas lalo mo akong ma-miss,"
"Ehh, kung magpakasal na kaya tayo sa huwes? Inuubos ng kasal na yan ang oras ko sa'yo"
"Richard, bata lang ang peg? Maka-angal ka ha,"
"Bakit di nalang kasi natin madaliin, yung simple lang....okay na ako dun, basta ba naka-puti ka at sasagutin mo ang pari ng "I Do" okay na okay na ako dun."
"Baliw ka talaga noh? How many times do I have to tell you that we can't hurry, love. Kailangan nating i-feel to kasi once lang toh,"
"Once lang talaga? Ehh may balak pa naman akong pakasalan ka ulit during our 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th hanggang 50th anniversary natin. Kaya maraming beses ka pang makakapaghanda ulit para sa okasyon na'to," he said smiling
"Now you're being cheesy. Talaga lang ha? Makaabot pa kaya tayo ng 50th?" she suddenly ask.
"'Oo naman basta ba iwasan mong makunsumi sa lahat ng bagay, aabot tayo diyan. Tayo pa ba?,"
She smiled, "And I always think, ako ang hopeless romantic sa ating dalawa. Ikaw rin pala..... I love you Richard."
"Hinawaan mo lang uyy,..... I love you Menggay."
The third time was his last straw and Maine needed a distraction for him to calm down. Naubos na ata lahat ng pasensya niya sa katawan kaya he almost snapped at everyone present during the rehearsals. Beastmode si Tisoy, at hindi lang simpleng beastmode ----umuusok ang ilong na beastmode.
It was the day of their wedding rehearsals at the church and the wedding organizer is having a hard time pacifying everyone because all of them are having their own wedding versions at yun daw dapat ang gawin at sundin nila.
"No, kailangan i-close muna ang pinto bago pumasok ang bride, katulad ng sa kasal ko," Ate Poleng said.
"Ehh pwede namang hindi kasi nasa likod na si Meng ng maid of honor niya, makaka-save pa tayo ng time kasi dire-diretso yung flow ng ceremony," Ate Coleen said.
"Dapat sina Tatay at Nanay from the start pa lang, kasama na ng bride," Ate Niki this time.
"Ehh di ba Ate Niki, lalakad muna ang bride ng mag-isa sa simula bago siya i-meet halfway ng parents niya?" Riza said.
"Mas magandang kinakanta ang wedding song paglakad ng bride, para mas feel yung moment," Ryan A. said.
"Ayy, hindi Ry. Dapat pagkatapos kasi lawfully wedded na talaga sila nun, mas dun ramdam ang moment talaga," Ms. A said.
The opinions and suggestions goes on for another minute that Richard can't take it anymore. He just wanted to go on with the rehearsals, be married in two weeks and make Maine his wife. Pero hindi niya alam kung paano mangyayari yun kung ngayon pa lang na rehearsals nagkakagulo na, what more sa araw mismo ng kasal nila?
He wanted to scream and shout at every one but he felt a soft hand intertwined in his. He look at her and she gave him her most content smile.
"They are family. They love us."
"Salamat sa warning, love. Nagdidilim na paningin ko ehh, ang sarap nilang ipatapon palabas."
She laughed and all of a sudden said, "Pakasal na tayo?"
"Huh?"
"Now, let's get married now. Sa huwes sabi mo di bah? Medyo matatagalan pa kasi bago ma-settle ang mga bagay na ipinaglalaban ng mga mahal natin sa buhay ehh, abutan tayo ng siyam-siyam."
And he laughed his manly laugh, "We can't hurry, love."
"Linya ko yan ehh," she said pouting.
"I know and just like you said, the first time is always the most memorable. Ayoko namang mauna kang kilalaning Mrs. Richard Faulkerson, Jr. sa harap ng huwes di bah?"
"At kanino mo naman ako unang ipapakilala as Mrs. Richard Faulkerson, Jr. aber?"
He look up at the man nailed on the cross and with a smile he said, "Sa kanya. Gusto kong sa harap niya magsimula ang lahat. Sa kanya kita unang ipapakilala bilang asawa at kabiyak ng aking puso dahil ibinigay ka niya sa akin. God gave me you, Menggay and I love you so much."
In 2 weeks' time, she will be his. She will be Mrs. Richard Faulkerson, Jr. and he can't thank the heavens enough for everything.
He can wait. The both of them can wait, after all, God's plan and timing is always perfect.
