Book 1: Unchanged Hearts

XXXI

Tinitignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin ng biglang may kumatok

Binuksan naman ito nung make up artist

at nagulat yung babae nang makita ako

"oh my gosh Miss Eve nandito ka parin? Nag s-start na ang wedding!"

Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya

"ha?! Nag s-start na? oh my tara na! "

Agad naman akong tumayo at lumabas na

Naku nakakahiya! Nalate pa ako

Bakit hindi manlang ako tinawag ni Brittany

Nang makarating ako malapit sa wedding entourage

Napahinto ako ng makitang walang tao sa harap ng altar at lahat sila napatingin saakin

Kinabahan ako nakakahiya tuloy

Pakiramdam ko panira ako kaya aalis na sana ako nang mapansin ko yung lalaking nakatalikod sa tabi ng altar

My heart skip a beat I knew it was him... Sakanya lang tumitibok ang puso ko ng ganito

Until he turned around and smiled at me

I can't believe this

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko na baka sakaling mali ako ng nakikita na baka nandito lang sa tabi tabi yung babae kanina yung bride niya pero nakita ko siya sa tabi ni Brittany they we're smiling at me si Brittany naiiyak na siya habang nakangiti

Kumabog yung dibdib ko ng makita ko si Ate sa tabi niya si Mommy at si Nanay Mila

Anu to? Sobra na yung lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko

Nang maintindihan ko lahat lahat

I look like I bride because I am the bride

"Ehem"

And then Daddy was beside me

I was in a complete shocked at the moment niyakap ako ni Daddy kaya pumatak na ang luha ko

" congratulations anak did you like it?"

I was speechless

" oh wait mamaya na kita ihahatid sa altar "

Aniya atsaka lumayo napalingon ako at nakita ko si Matthew

He was wearing a tuxedo and he's so gorgeous

" it's still not sunset yet. I guess I still can't marry you "

Napakunot ang noo ko what does he mean?

"Matthew what's the meaning of these? Paano yung babae?"

"sinong babae? "

"yung kasama mo dun sa French cuisines yung hinalikan mo sa-"

"shhh it's Miracle she's my cousin and Miracle was our wedding planner"

hindi na ako nakapag salita tuluy tuloy parin ang luha ko

He wipe off the tears on my face and slowly he hold my hand

" I still can't marry you because I haven't asked you"

Unti unti siyang lumuhod napatakip ako ng bibig at saka tumulo ng tumulo ang luha ko

Oh God I can't believe this is happening this is so much perfect

He was holding my right hand and slowly he gets a small box from his coat and opened it

"Maria Evangeline Ortiz will you be Mrs. Maria Evangeline Thompson?"

All I see was him only him it felt like everyone have disappeared and it was only us here

Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang lumuha ng lumuha but this time this tears are full of joy

I looked at him and smile

"Of course Matthew I will "

I saw him smiled and let out a tear on his face

He slowly puts the ring on my ring finger and it perfectly fits

He immediately kissed me with full of love, happiness and excitement

Before the sunset appears we started the wedding

Lumapit saakin si Daddy

"I'm so happy for you my baby congratulations "

"thankyou Daddy "

Nagsimula ng tumugtog para sa pag lakad namin ni Daddy papuntang altar

We walked down the aisle and when we reached it

Dad hugged me at kiss my forehead

"Sir"
Bati ni Matthew

Niyakap naman siya ni Daddy

"Take care of my daughter"

" Yes Sir I will "

Binigay na ni Daddy ang kamay ko sa kamay ni Matthew at saka kami pumwesto sa harap ng altar
