"everything's set, I do nyo nalang dalawa ang hinihintay and you'll be a Mrs. Villafuerte soon!"


Lahat kami napatingin kay Alex na mas excited pa ata sakin pagpasok niya ng kwarto kung saan kami naroroon.


The other girls hugged me.


"I can't believe you're getting married soon" Naiiyak na sabi ni Czarina saka ako niyakap.

"naunahan mo pa kami ni Simon!" naka-pout na sabi ni Andrea saka ako niyakap.


I looked at Grey, teary-eyed siyang nakatingin saakin.


I gestured my hand for a hug at lumapit naman siya sakin. I hugged her tight.

"Grey, I hope mahanap mo narin yung ka-redstring mo the sooooonest" Saaming magbabarkada siya yung never pang nagka boyfriend. In short, NBSB!

Masyado kasi siyang Maria Clara, kahit madaming nagpapacute sakaniya, hindi niya pinapansin.



Napalingon ako sa bintana. 'twas indeed a lovely day.


I can't believe I'll be a married woman after this day.



"Selfie muna tayo guys! Last day na ng pagiging single ni Diane!" Czarina exclaimed saka nilabas ang phone nya


Pumwesto na kaming lima at syempre ako sa gitna! Ako kaya ang bida ngayon!


Isa isa kong tiningnan ang mga kaibigan ko, they're looking as gorg as ever!


Hindi ako mapakali, kanina pa ako tingin ng tingin sa orasan, ilang minuto nalang sasakay na ako sa bridal car. I'll be on my way to a journey of forever together with the only man I loved, Julio.



My heart raced when I heard someone knocking at my door.


I smiled as I waited for it to open.


My heart suddenly pounded vigorously after seeing my sister-in-law's face.


She looks so sad.


"what's the matter??" I asked.


"Ate Diane.... kuya left this letter for you" she said and handed the letter to me.



"what is this for??" I curiously asked. She shook her head.


Bigla akong kinabahan. With the looks on her face, I don't think this is something I'd be happy about.


Napaupo ako sa kama habng binubuksan ang sulat ni iniwan ni Julio at hindi ko nalang namalayan ang pagtulo ng luha galing sa aking mga mata.

"what is it Diane??"


I can't find the words to explain the hurt I am feeling right now. Pakiramdam ko yung puso ko tinutusok at pinipiga ng sabay.


I handed them the letter.



"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT GUY!!!"

"is he being serious!!?"

"he can't do this!!!"


I just can't move.

Pakiramdam ko hindi ako makahinga.



I love you but I'm sorry for doing this.

I don't deserve your forgiveness, I was a jerk

for doing this but it's what's best for both of us.

Til we meet again, Diane.


"Diane san ka pupunta!!!" I heard them calling out my name pero blangko ang utak ko. Basta ang alam ko I have to be at the altar by now. Hinihintay na niya ako doon!


Nagjojoke lang siya eh!


Alam ko ginugoodtime lang niya ako!


I went inside my bridal car and drove it.


I reached the church in no time.


All eyes are on me.


Dahan dahan akong umakyat ng hagdan para makapunta sa pintuan ng simbahan.


"Where's Julio!!!"

"Diane..."

"WHERE IS HE!!!?" hindi ko na mapigilang maluho. I just can't feel my feet, Nalugmok nalang ako sa kinatatayuan ko and the next thing I know, all of them are helping me to stand but I just can't. I don't even have the strength to move my feet


"Diane!!!" I saw my friends running towards me.


They hugged me. Tighly


"ayoko naaaaa"

"Diane! we're here..." I heard them say.

I cupped my face.


Nananaginip lang ba ako??

Can somebody please tell me I'm just dreaming!

Kung panaginip lang 'to please gisingin nyoko!

"Diane, drink this"  Gracie offered me a cup of tea.


"sige na Diane, ilang araw ka nang di kumakain" Alex


"Diane naman, don't do this. Kahit ito lang, ilang araw ka nang tulala" Andrea


"pag nalaman niyang may sakit ako.... sa tingin nyo ba..... babalik siya?"


I feel so desperate.

I want to see him badly!


I missed him so bad.


Bigla nalang tumulo ang mga luha ko and the next thing I know, yakap yakap nako ng mga kaibigan ko.


I waited for him day and night.


Hindi ako natutulog. I'm not moving an inch. I'm still hoping he'll come back.




But he didn't
