Eternal Promise [COMPLETED]

Epilogue

Isang magandang tugtog ang narinig ko kasabay ng pagbukas ng malaking pintuan ng simbaha. Nangingilid ang luha ko dahil ito ang araw ng kasal ko.

Kasal ko..

Huminga ako ng malalim at naglakad papunta sa dulo ng pasilyo kung saan naghihintay ang lalaking pagsasabihan ko ng salitang I do.

Here we stand today

Like we always dreamed

Starting out our life together

Kumpleto na ako. Kumpleto na ang buhay ko. Napangiti ako nang maramdaman ko si Kenjo na hinahatak ang gown ko. Nilingon ko siya at hinalikan sa ulo.

The light is in your eyes

Love is in our hearts

I can't believe you're really mine forever.

Agad inabot ni Nico ang kamay ko at hinalikan iyon. "I love you." Bulong niya.

Lumipas ang seremonya at ito na ang tanong na matagal ko ng gustong sagutin.

Been rehearsing for this moment all my life

So don't act surprised

If the feeling starts to carry me away

"Lex Nicolai Ybañez, do you take this woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together in the holy bonds of matrimony? To love her, comfort her, honor and keel her, in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"

Huminga si Nico ng malalim at matamis na ngumiti sa akin. "I do. I do. I fucking do!"

On this day

I promise forever

On this day

I surrender my heart

Nagsinghapan ang ibang guest pero nagtatawanan naman ang mga kalalakihan.

Here I stand take my hand
And I will honor every word that I say

On this day

"Aira Cyrine Buenavidez, do you take this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together in the holy bonds of matrimony? To love him, comfort him, honor and keel him, in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him, for as long as you both shall live?"

Nanatili akong nakatitig kay Nico. Unti unting kumunot ano noo at sumulyap sa pari. Marahan niyang hinaplos ang pisngi ko. Nanginginig ang kamay nito ang halatang pinagpapawisan.

"Hey. Are you okay? Baby don't tell me-"

"I do." Napanganga ito at ngumisi ng malaki. "I do. I do. I do. I do father!"

Not so long ago

This earth was just a field of cold and lonely space

Without you

Nagtawanan ang boung bisita at napayuko naman ako. Tuloy tuloy ang kasalan hanggang dumating na ito sa bigayan ng vows. Tumikhim si Nico at matamang tumitig sa akin.

Now everything's alive

Now everything's revealed

And the story of my life

Is all about you

"Ten years ago, I fell in love with a province girl. She have this chocolate eyes that always drown me every time it met mine. The moment she gave me the ring my heart pound nervously." Huminga siya ng malalim at ngumiti sa akin.
