After a few months of preparation, the most awaited day is finally here.......
Sam was a bit nervous but of course...happy that he will finally marry the woman he really loves.
"Eto na talaga pare....congrats!!!" Bati ni Paolo na isa sa mga groomsmen.
"Thank you pare...." Hindi mapakali si Sam at panay ang sulyap sa bridal car.
"Ohh nerbyos ba yan? Hahaha!"
"Ganun pala talaga pare, pero one thing I'm sure of...I'm very very happy!"
"Syempre naman....happy din kami para sa'yo. O sige pare, dun muna ako habang hinihintay ko si KC, kasama kasi sya ni Sarah dun sa bridal car." Paalam ni Paolo.
Hindi pa bumababa si Sarah sa bridal car dahil hindi pa nag-uumpisa ang kasal. Bawal pa raw silang magkita. Nagkwentuhan muna sila ni KC na isa sa kanyang mga bridesmaid.
"Sars, kumusta naman ang feeling ng ikakasal?"
"Alam mo KC, ganito pala yun....masaya na malungkot, kinakabahan...natatakot....lahat yata ng emosyon nasa akin na...."
"Naku....wala ka namang dapat ikatakot ano, napatunayan na natin na trustworthy talaga yang si bestfriend."
"Ewan ko ba, kung anu-ano kasi pumapasok sa utak ko. Ang hirap pala talaga pag eto na...pero I'm happy talaga na matutupad na yung matagal ko ng dream, yung maglakad papunta sa altar na naka-pangkasal..."
"Sa totoo lang Sars, ang swerte mo talaga, nahanap mo yung right man for you. Ako kaya?"
"Marami ka namang suitors di ba? Ayaw mo ba sa kanila? Puro gwapo naman yun...."
"Ehhhh....hindi ko pa kasi ma-feel, walang spark! Basta...darating din yun...haha"
"Bahala ka na nga....kung ano bang spark yang sinasabi mo...ayan nga si Paolo oh naghihintay sa'yo.....hahaha"
Kumaway lang si Paolo sa kanila. Natawa naman si KC at nagtinginan lang sila ni Sarah.
"Excuse me Ms.KC and Ms. Sarah, kailangan na pong bumaba, mag-uumpisa na po tayo." Binuksan ng wedding coordinator ang pinto ng sasakyan para bumaba na sila KC at Sarah.
Mahigpit ang hawak ni Sarah sa kamay ni KC at nanlalamig pa ito.
"Sars, calm down...."
"KC....parang hihimatayin yata ako..."
"Naku ha, wag kang ganyan...teka nga....Yeng! Angge! Come here bilis!"
Halos patakbo namang lumapit si Yeng "Oh bakit Sis? Grabe ka makatawag parang emergency!"
"Eto kasing si Sarah, para daw syang hihimatayin sa kaba...tulungan nyo akong pakalmahin to..."
"Ganun ba? Teka Sars kukuha kita ng tubig ha..." Agad namang naghagilap si Angge ng tubig para ibigay kay Sarah.
Lumapit na rin si Mommy Divine sa anak matapos syang hingian ng tubig ni Angge.
"Anak, okay ka lang ba? Wag ka ng mag-alala...eto na yung pinakahihintay ninyo di ba? Bakit ba namumutla ka sa nerbyos?"
"Ewan ko rin po Mommy...salamat nga pala Angge sa tubig."
"Sus! Wala yun...basta relax ka lang dyan....Oh ayan, tinatawag na kami at papasok na raw sa loob, just smile my friend...ang ganda ganda mo nga eh..dyosa ang peg!"
"Haha....ikaw talaga Angge...lakas mo makabola...sige na baka maiwan ka nila."
"See you Sars later!" Sigaw ni KC at Yeng.
Naiwan naman si Mommy Divine sa tabi ng anak. "Huminga ka nga ng malalim para mawala yang kaba mo. Akin na ang kamay mo..."
"Ganito rin po ba kayo nung kinasal kayo kay Daddy?"
"Hindi naman...konting kaba lang. Bakit nga ba ganyan ka?"
"Hindi ko rin po alam...lumulutang na yata ako...baka malimutan ko pa yung sasabihin ko mamaya...haaayyy..."
"Aba anak, san ba galing yan kaba mo at napakatindi naman yata? Mahal mo naman si Sam at mabait naman talagang bata yan di ba?"
"Ewan ko po kung bakit....magdadasal na lang ako Mommy habang naghihintay. Mawawala rin siguro to mamaya."
"O sige....doon na tayo at kami ng Daddy mo ang susunod. Umayos ka na ha?"
"Opo Mommy...."
Huminga ng malalim si Sarah at nilapitan naman sya ng wedding coordinator...
"Are you ready Ms.Sarah?"
"Huh?? Ahhh....I guess..." Napalunok sya pagkasabi nito.
"Nakakatuwa ang reaction mo, relax lang, don't forget your sweet smile okay?"
"Thank you...." She smiled....but her knees are trembling and her hands are shaking.
As the door opened....her mentor and friend, Ms.Regine, started singing her requested love song.....
🎶🎶From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you🎶🎶
As she walk down the isle, her groom got teary-eyed...."You're so beautiful Hon...and I'm the luckiest man..." he whispered to himself.
🎶🎶From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
Mommy Divine and Daddy Delfin waited to join her, and then the three walked towards the altar where Sam is waiting.
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on🎶🎶
"Sam, ipinagkakatiwala ko na sya sa'yo..." Daddy Delfin gave him pat on the back.
"Daddy, thank you po sa tiwala."
"Hijo, ikaw na ang bahala kay Sarah..mahalin mo ng habangbuhay..." Napaiyak na si Mommy Divine at nilapitan naman sya ni Sam.
"Mommy, don't worry po, I will." He gave her a hug too.
"Sarah anak, sige na..." Iniabot na ni Daddy Delfin ang kamay ng anak kay Sam.
"Thank you Daddy and Mommy...I love you po..." Napaiyak na rin si Sarah...niyakap muna nya si Mommy Divine...
"Sarah..naghihintay na si Sam..."
Sam took her hand and smiled at her..."This is it Hon...relax..."
She just smiled at him while wiping her tears.
And the priest started the ceremony....
***********
After they stated their intentions......the priest said...
"Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, with your hands joined, declare your consent before God and His Church, to this community of your family and friends.
"I, Samuel Lloyd, take you, Sarah Asher, to be my lawfully wedded wife, with God as our witness, and in front of our relatives and friends, I promise to respect and love you unconditionally and to always be faithful to you. You are my life, my everything....Together, our love will grow into a bond too strong to break. You are mine and I'm forever yours. I will be by your side through sickness and health, through richer or poorer, through good and bad, through joy and sorrow. I wanna grow old with you and spend with you the rest of my life. I will forever be your partner, your bestfriend, your confidant...your man. Hindi kita iiwan, hindi pababayaan. This is my solemn vow."
"I, Sarah Asher, take you, Samuel Lloyd, to be my lawfully wedded husband, with God as our witness, and in front of our relatives and friends, I promise to respect and love you unconditionally and be faithful to you. You're the only one who showed me what true love means....you're everything that I need, the answer to my prayers. With you, I feel safe and complete. This is the moment that I've waited my whole life for...to be forever your partner, your bestfriend, your confidant, the only woman in your life (teary-eyed)....I promise to love and care for you, to encourage and support you, to stand by you and uplift you, and make you my priority in life. Forever is not enough to love you... (her tears fell). This is my solemn vow."
Napaluha rin si Mommy Divine sa mga sinabi ng anak. Ngayon ay panatag na sya na nasa mabuting kamay na si Sarah. Inakbayan naman siya ni Daddy Delfin.
"Nangyari na ang pinapangarap natin para sa kanya...tama na yang drama ha?" Bulong ni Daddy Delfin.
Nasiko ni Mommy Divine si Daddy Delfin at natawa na lang ito sa asawa.
The priest then say aloud "You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide. Amen."
The rings were blessed....
"Sarah, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. (In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)
"Sam, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. (In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)
Sir Martin started singing the song of Sam to Sarah....
🎶You are to me
What poetry tries to say with a word
You are a song
All the music my heart ever heard
I can't escape
The air that I breathe even speaks of you
And I'm not ashamed to say
That I feel this way
I will stand before God
Give you all that I've got
I can promise you I'll be true
I reveal here and now
As we both take this vow
I am so in love, with, with you
(So in love, ooh, hoo)
Sarah looked at Sam and smiled. He smiled back at her, and they hold hands while listening to their song.
The candles, rope and veil ceremonies took place as the song continued....
Words can't express
What I confess with each beat of my heart
I'm overwhelmed
With a passionate affair from the start, oh
Our love will grow
As the years come and go, I will be by your side, oh, yes, I will
There isn't anything
That I would deny
I will stand before God
Give you all that I've got
I can promise you I'll be true
I reveal here and now
As we both take this vow
I am so in love, I am so in love with you
I promise to honor and cherish you
For better or for worse
I'll be there for you
For richer or for poorer
In sickness and in health
Till death do us part
(And I will)
From this day on and forever
I will stand before God
(I will)
Give you all that I've got
I can promise you I'll be true
(I will promise you)
I reveal here and now
As we both take this vow
I am so in love, I am so in love
(I am so in love)
I am so in love with you
(Ooh, ooh)
I am so in love
(With you)🎶🎶
At the end of the ceremony, the priest gave his nuptial blessing for the two.
Sam can't help but stare at his wife, still amazed and teary-eyed. He squeezed her hand lightly and whispered "I love you...."
"I love you too..." She replied.
The final words from the priest.....
"My dear friends, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Sam & Sarah Milby..."
They all clapped and cheered for the newly married couple....and for the moment everyone is waiting for....
Sam touched her chin and softly kissed his wife on the lips...short but sweet....
But everyone says..."More...more...more..."
-----------------
At the reception...
All their relatives and friends are present, especially Rachel Ann, Mark, Jed and the rest of "The Champions".
"Sis!!! Best wishes....ang ganda ganda mo!" Niyakap sya ni Rachel Ann.
"Thank you Sis! Pano ba yan, susunod na ba kayo ni Slater? Hahaha!"
"Ikaw talaga....baka ma-pressure yan...." Sabay tingin kay Slater na pangiti-ngiti lang.
"You're the most beautiful bride Sars..." Mark kissed her on the cheek.
"Weehhhh? Sige...pagbibigyan kita ngayon....hahaha"
"Congrats Sam!" Sigaw naman nilang lahat.."Ikaw na talaga kuya!" Dagdag naman ni Yeng.
"Thank you sa inyo...I'm really blessed to have her..." He kissed her on the forehead.
"Ayyieeee....pasimple pa pero excited na yang matapos ang reception..." Sabay tawa ni Angge. Tinapik naman sya ni KC.
"Oo nga....kaya bilisan nating kumain...hahaha" Banat naman ni Jed.
"Kayo talaga...sige na doon naman kami sa ibang table." Naglakad naman sila Sarah at Sam papunta sa ibang guests.
----------------
Everybody wants to take pictures with them.....hindi na matapos ang kabi-kabilang request from all their guests. Nahalata naman ni Sam na parang pagod na pagod na si Sarah.
"Hon....are you okay?"
"Ahmmm....medyo masakit na yung ulo ko, siguro kasi ang daming tao saka sa pagod na rin..."
"You can sit here for awhile, ikukuha kita ng juice....o water?"
"Water na lang Hon..."
"Kanina kasi hindi ka masyadong kumain, baka gutom ka rin?"
"Hindi....water na lang." Sam gave her a glass of water.
"Ayaw mo ba nung food? Di ba ikaw ang pumili nun?"
"Ewan ko, parang iba na yung lasa, o baka dahil wala lang talaga akong gana."
"O sige, mamaya let's order food ha?"
"Okay...."
Nakita naman sila ni Mommy Divine kaya't agad na lumapit ito.
"Oh, bakit nandyan kayo? Malapit ng umalis yung mga bisita....teka, ano bang nararamdaman mo Sarah at parang namumutla ka dyan?"
"Hindi po sya makakain kanina, ngayon naman masakit ang ulo." Sagot ni Sam.
"Magpahinga ka na lang muna dyan. Sasabihin ko sa kanila na lumapit na lang dito kung gustong magpaalam sa inyo."
"Thank you po Mommy."
At isa-isa na ngang nagpaalam ang mga bisita. Naiwan na lang ang family nila Sam at Sarah.
"Sarah....you better rest hija, and son...take care of her okay? Dad and I needs to go. Best wishes to both of you."
"Thank you po...Mommy...Daddy...bye po." Medyo nahihiya pa si Sarah sa parents ni Sam.
"Bye Mom and Dad. Thank you so much..." He hugged them both and his Dad gave him a pat on the back.
"Naku anak, sige na at pumunta na kayo dun sa hotel para makapahinga ka na ha? Kami na ang bahala dito."
"Thank you ulit Mommy and Daddy."
"Pot, ano ba yan...wala kang energy for the honeymoon...hahaha" Nagtawanan sila Ate Shine at Johna.
"Huyy, kayong dalawa!" Sinaway naman sila ni Mommy Divine.
"Talaga kayo....alis na nga tayo Hon." Naglambing na si Sarah kay Sam at nagpaalam na sa kanila.
----------------
At the hotel...
"Wait lang...kumapit ka sa akin..."
"Hon? Bakit kailangan pa yan?"
"Sige na..bagong kasal tayo, syempre dapat buhatin kita bago tayo pumasok."
"Awwww....ang sweet naman ng Honey ko...sige na nga, pwedeng araw-araw buhatin mo ako? Hahaha"
"Hmmmm....pwede rin, pero may bayad na yun..." He winked.
"Okayyyy.....parang ayoko na hahaha..."
Sam carried her and laid her on the bed. "Masakit pa ba ulo mo?"
"Medyo...siguro I need to take a shower na Hon, baka sakaling gumaan yung pakiramdam ko."
"Okay, I'll order some food for you."
Sam ordered a turkey sandwich and vegetable salad while waiting for Sarah.
"Hon, here's your food. Ubusin mo yan ha, my turn to freshen up okay?" He kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Okay, thank you."
Sarah felt better after finishing her food.
"Okay ka na Hon?"
"Yup! Gutom lang yata yung kanina...."
"Hmmmm.....so that means....pwede na?"
She just smiled and pinched his cheeks.
"Ready??"
"Yes....I'm ready...." she laughed.
"Then let's make this night extra special..." They both laughed.
He went on top of her and kissed her forehead...her nose...her lips....passionately as he started to undress her. She responded to his kisses as he touched every part of her. He planted kisses on her neck, down to her breasts and then to her flat stomach...his hand carefully massaging her between her legs. He carefully positioned himself....and made an entrance..."Hon...." She whispered..."I love you...." He said...he deepened the kiss and started to move slowly....then faster.... and deeper....."ummmmm...." she moaned in pleasure....until they both reached their climax. "That was perfect Hon...." He kissed her again and pulled the blanket to cover her.
"I love you Hon....thank you..." She gave him a peck on the lips again..
"Thank you for what?"
"For loving me, for making me feel complete..."
"Thank you for loving me too, for being mine...."
They stared at each other.....Sam moved even closer to hug her tight.
"I want to tell so many things but..."
"But????"
"We need to sleep na Hon....wag muna tayong mag-drama....tomorrow is another....round..."
"Uhummm naughty ka talaga hubby!!!!" Sabay hampas sa asawa.
---------------------
The following day, Sarah woke up and was surprised to see Sam bringing her flowers again....
"Hon? Bakit may ganyan pa? Kasal na tayo, kahapon nga lang yun eh...para saan yan?"
"It's our first day as a married couple, gusto ko lang maging extra sweet."
"Ohh I see.....thank you hubby...hahaha"
"Sarap pakinggan....so paano, let's eat breakfast?"
"Okay, mag-aayos muna ako...." Biglang napatakbo si Sarah sa bathroom...
"Hon!!! What's wrong?" Sam followed her inside the bathroom...
"Nahihilo yata ako....saka....." Hindi na napigilan ni Sarah...nagduduwal na sya kahit wala namang lumalabas....
Hinagod naman ni Sam ang likod ni Sarah..."What's happening Hon? I'll take you to the doctor....."
"Wag na muna...." She washed her face and went to bed again.
"Baka kung ano na yan, kahapon ka pa matamlay eh, halika na..."
Hindi na nakatanggi si Sarah at nagpunta nga sa doctor...agad naman syang kinuhaan ng lab tests......
"Mr. & Mrs. Milby, wala naman kayong dapat ikabahala....dapat nga mag-celebrate pa kayo...."
"Huh????" Biglang nagkatinginan ang dalawa....
"Congratulations! You're 3 weeks pregnant!"
"Oh my.....ang bilis ng blessing!" Hindi alam ni Sarah kung maluluha sya o matatawa, lalo ng makita nya ang reaction ni Sam.
"I'm gonna be a Daddy soon! woohoo!!!!" Nabuhat nya si Sarah ng di oras..
"Hon, put me down! Sige ka baka maipit si Baby..." Nagtawanan ang dalawa. Natawa na rin ang doctor sa kanila.
Nang makabalik sila sa hotel...."Hon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala....magiging Mommy na ako....agad-agad!!"
"Maaga ang blessing natin, kaya we should be thankful....Wait... tuloy pa rin ang honeymoon sa Paris ha?"
"Haha...yun talaga ang naisip mo! Sige..hanggang pwede pa...."
Biglang nag-ring ang phone ni Sarah....
"Hello Mommy...."
"Sarah anak, kumusta ka na? Okay na ba pakiramdam mo?"
"Yes po Mommy, I'm okay. May good news po kami ni Sam!"
"Ha? Anong good news?"
"Magkaka-apo na kayo!!!"
"Ano??????????? Lokong bata ito! Kahapon lang kayo kinasal eh......" Gulat na gulat si Mommy Divine sa sinabi ni Sarah.
"Mommy.....kasasabi lang ng doctor, totoo po!"
"Totoo??? So ibig mong sabihin.....ilang beses pa rin kayong nakalusot sa akin ha?????"
"Patay...lagot tayo...." Bulong ni Sarah kay Sam.
"Sarah???? Narinig mo ba?"
Kinuha na ni Sam ang phone at kinausap si Mommy Divine.
"Mommy, sorry po....."
"Eh ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko, kasal na kayo.....congrats na lang sa inyo. Alagaan mo yan ha?"
"Opo Mommy, thank you po."
"Sige na, pakisabi na lang kay Sarah mag-iingat sya. Dadalaw ako sa inyo pag-uwi nyo sa bahay. Haaayyy, pambihira kayong dalawa, hindi makahintay...tsk tsk tsk...."
"Sorry po ulit. Hihintayin po namin kayo." Natawa si Sam at hinalikan ang asawa sa noo.
--------------------
"Delfin!!! Halika at may importante akong sasabihin..."
"Bakit naman ganyan ang pagkakatawag mo? Ano bang meron?"
"Aba, mahalaga ito, ihanda mo ang sarili mo...."
"Kinakabahan naman ako sa mga sinasabi mo, ano ba yun? Sabihin mo na......"
"Magkaka-apo na tayo!!!!"
"Divine, ako ba niloloko mo?"
"Bakit naman kita lolokohin? Mabilis yung manugang mo! Akalain mong nalusutan pala ulit ako!"
"Aba, hayaan mo na....kasal na eh...tanggapin mo na...lola ka na!!!! Hahaha!!!"
"Delfin!!!!" Nahampas ni Mommy Divine si Daddy D.
:)))))))))
