TEXT- EPILOGUE

Evann's POV

It's been 12 months since the Sea and Stones Reunion Party was settled. It's been 12 months since I knew her name, and met her... again. She's my first love. I know. Isn't a coincidence, or a fate rather? It's funny how I'm desperate to see her. My letter C, my Juliet, my textfriend, and my love.

Thinking of how she looks like, how am I going to face her. But, I really want to see her. Personally. I think I might be a crazy guy if I didn't see her in that time. But, it's unexpectedly. I thought she's a different girl. I thought Letter C was different from her. From, Cassie. My first love, who broke my heart. Nahh, not really broke my heart because she said that she's going back. She explains why she was going somewhere.

She's no other than, my bestfriend, my first love, my textfriend, my Juliet. And now my future wife. Yes, we're getting married. Isn't funny?

*knock* *knock*

"Anak? Are you ready?" My mom asked.

"Yes mom." And I open the door to see my lovable mom.

"You look great, my son. I'm so happy that you'll going to marry her." She said with a teary- eyes.

"Yes mom, I'm happy. Very very happy. But, I hope there's no interrupting scenes okay?" I said.

Hahaha! I remember the scene that me and Cassie will going to be married when we we're in gradeschool. It's funny because, we don't know how to start it. Bumili kami ng candy na may kasamang singsing at isinuot sa isa't isa. Pero nung maggagawa na kami ng ceremony, biglang pinatigil yun ng mommy ko at mommy niya.

Sabi pa nga nila...

"Mga anak, masyado pa kayong bata para diyan. Marami pa kayong pagdadaanan. Huwag kayong masyadong magmadali... baka kasi mamaya kapag totoong kasal na kayo at nakakita naman ng iba ay saka niyo naman kami papahirapan para sa annulment."

O diba? Nakakatawa lang isipin na Grade 6 palang kami, gusto na naming magpakasal. Hahaha! How immature we are when we were a child. And tumungtong na nga kami ng highschool at naging busy, hindi na namin masyadong napapansin ang isa't isa dahil sa mga kaibigan namin.

4th year highschool noong naging kami, at sinasabi kong dapat hindi nalang din naging kami... nadiagnose kasi na may heart failure siya. Ibig sabihin kapag hindi agad siya naoperahan ay mamatay siya. Kaya hindi kami umabot ng pang 4th monthsarry namin. Sayang, goal pa naman sana namin ang 2 years, kaso.. ayun nga ang nangyari.

Unang tapak ko palang doon sa University na pangarap naming dalawa, nakaramdam ako ng lungkot. Hindi ko siya kasama ngayon, pero ang alam ko inenroll din siya ng mga magulang niya dito pero online enrollment ang ginawa nila. I miss her, sana makita ko na ulit siya. At yun nga ang nangyari. Kaso... she didn't remember me.

Yes, naapektuhan daw ang memories niya dahil sa trauma. I don't know if that is true, but that explains nung when she saw me going to her, her brows twitch. Akala ko nga galit siya sa akin noon, pero she didn't remember anything about her past. I try to move on even if it is hard. Pero nakaya ko at kinalimutan siya. Dun ko nakilala ang tropa kong sina Jack'nJill, si Christine, at si Harry. We're five in the group. Famous nga kami e. Pero down to earth parin.

We became friends until may nagtext nga sa aking si Letter C. Hahaha! I thought it is a prank but, it's not. Akala ko nga din noon si Cara yung bagong recruit. Pero hindi pala. She said I know her number. Katulad ng nangyari, akala ko si Christine din 'yun. Pero mali na naman ako. She's pregnant kaya siya nawala sa tropa, katulad ni Harry. Si Harry daw pala kasi ang nakabuntis kay Christine. Buti nga't pinanindigan.

Then finally nung reunion, she came. I see the face I want to remember. She's more beautiful, and elegant as always. Pero may nagbago... naaalala na niya ulit ako... isn't surprising?

She said na pinilit niyang makaalala dahil parang may kulang daw sa buhay niya. At sinabi niya ako iyon. Isn't it amazing? Hahaha! Gay lingos again. Tsk.

Pero ngayon, hindi ko na siya papakawalan pa. Kahit may tumutol pa! Handa ko siyang ipaglaban kanino man.

"Anak, kanina pa naghihintay ang Papa mo sa baba. Halikana na?" Tanong ni mommy at I nodded in response.

Nandito na kami ngayon sa tapat ng simbahan. Nakapila. Papasok na, dahil magsisimula na ang kasal na inaasam asam naming dalawa noon. At matutupad na ngayon. I smile, noong siya na ang naglalakad sa altar kasama ang parents niya. She's beautiful in her elegant wedding gown with sequence on top and it faded when you look down. It's amazing that she's even more gorgeous when she smiles. And now I know how much I love this girl in front of me now. She smile widely, and I responded with a smile plastered on my face.

"Ready?" I asked with a smile. And she nodded in response.

Now we're going to face a new problems, not only by myself, but with her. Alam naming masusulusyunan ang lahat ng problema basta magkasama kami at hindi na muling maghihiwalay.

We finally reach our dreams, we became successful and became what we dream when we're a child. We finally grown up and face the challenge in our lives and now we became happy that we made it. Nalampasan namin ito.

Nagsimula na ang wedding ceremony at natapos ito ng matiwasay. Walang humadlang sa pagmamahalan naming dalawa. Sobrang saya dahil akin na siya. Ito na ang hudyat na tapos na talaga ang kasalan...

"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride..." sabi ng pari at ito na ang hudyat para itaas ang belo na aking asawa at halikan siya sa kanyang labi.

"I love you, my bestfriend, my textfriend, my Juliet, my Queen, and especially my wife." I said to her.

"I love you too, my bestfriend, my dream, my textmate, my Romeo, my King and especially my husband." She said and smile sweetly to me.

This is not the end of our happy ending. Ito pa lamang ang simula nang bagong buhay kasama siya. Kasama ang magiging pamilya ko. Ipinapangako kong mamahalin ko siya hanggang sa makakaya ko at hinding- hindi siya susukuan. Mahal na mahal ko siya para iwan ko lang. Ang sobrang ewan ko na yata kung papakawalan ko pa siya. Hahaha!

I know hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon para sabihin sana ito, pero buntis na ang asawa ko. It's been 2 weeks nung nalaman ko. Pero masaya ako dahil makakabuo na kami ng pamilya, alam kong hindi magiging madali para samin ang maging magulang pero alam naming dalawa na makakaya namin iyon basta't sama sama. Hahaha! Mahal na mahal ko ang pamilya ko at handa kong ibigay ang sarili kong buhay para lamang sa kanila.

Magiging responsable kaming magulang para sa anak at magiging anak namin. Mahal na mahal ko sila, at alam kong mahal na mahal din nila ako. :)

The end...
