Indelible Love

Epilogue

.

" Inaamin kong hindi ikaw ang first love ko but the moment I set my eyes on you is the moment I questioned myself if loving two people at the same time is normal. I never thought I will fall out of love with Nicole... " napatingin sa akin si Hayley habang ako ay gulat na gulat sa rebelasyon ni Ethan.

So he was really inloved with me then? How come? I mean hindi ko matandaan na iba ang naging pakikitungo niya sa akin nor it was kind of cumbersome when I am conversing with him back then.

" Yes. I WAS inloved with Nicole back then. Pinaniwala kitang si Kathryn na ex ko ang mahal ko noon but it was a cover up technique para hindi makahalata si Nicole. " tumingin sa akin si Ethan at kumindat kaya napailing na lang ako.

I thought Hayley is joking when she said Ethan is inlove with me ng mahuli niya kami ni Liam eh.

" We used each other for our own personal reason but never did I thought that I would love you this deep and I could forget Nicole. At first I was oblivious to my feelings towards you that's why I ignored you but then seeing you with other men made me want to just keep you in my room. " he said that earned a laugh from everyone.

" That's why the moment you cried because of Xenon I punched him hard without thinking my reasons. Ang alam ko lang ayaw kong nasasaktan ka. Kaya nang araw na malaman kong kailangan kong umalis nasaktan ako kasi for the second time I had an unrequited love. Ayaw kong iwan ka but thinking you're better off without me made me think otherwise. We had a one night stand, that was my chance pero sabi mo it was just a mistake. Napaisip ako how could you say it was just a mistake, when all I'm thinking that time is that I just had my most wonderful night with the woman I love and it hits me, ako lang pala ang nagmamahal. Afraid I'd ruin everything, umalis ako and I tried to moved on kahit hindi naman naging totoong tayo. I dated girls. Slept with, yes, I'll include that... but I can't still forget you, the way your eyes  scintillate whenever our laughing. I'd die just witness that. "

" Now that I have you, ngayon na naiharap na kita sa altar I'll never let you go Hayley. I love you always and forever. Ikaw, si Lucas and Thanley... you are the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me. I love you, love. " sabi ni Ethan at hinalikan ang kamay ni Hayley.

Nakita kong nagpunas na luha si Hayley. I smiled now that everything looks perfect I can't help but to feel a little sad. Masaya na silang lahat but why can't I feel whole? Why can't I feel happy?

Ganun ba talaga? Happy ending only comes to those who deserves it? Then what about me? Don't I deserve a decent ending atleast? Am I really destined to be alone?

Matapos ang palitan ng wedding vows nila ay nagsalita na ulit si Father. After that they kissed.

Nang matapos ang kasal ay dumeretso kami sa reception which happened in one of my hotels here in Las Vegas. Yes, sa Las Vegas sila nagpakasal. Ang rason para mabilis daw ang annulment kung sakaling mambabae si Ethan sabi ni Hayley kaya ang dami ng tawa ko doon.

Nang ako na ang magsasalita ay pumunta ako sa harapan while holding my glass of champagne.

" Ehem ehem... " natawa naman sila ng umubo na ako dahil mukhang hindi nakikinig ang mag-asawa dahil panay sa lampungan.

" Wag ka ng magselos Nicole. Dadating din ang boylet mo. Tsaka wag mong gagamitin ang title mo bilang first love nitong ugok na ito dahil hindi din naman siya ang first love ko. " sabi ni Hayley which earned a laugh from everyone especially me.

" Oo na. Naku pasalamat ka at manhid ako dahil hindi sana ikaw ang nakaupo dyan sa tabi ng asawa mo. " natawa naman siya pati ang mga manonood.

" Anyway, I just want to felicitate the both of you for a successful and wonderful wedding. I'm so happy that you married each other kasi hindi din naman ako makakapayag kung hindi lang din kayo ang magkakatuluyan. Bae, marami ka ng napagdaanang hirap and in every trial I was there to witness it. I must say that your hardworks was paid off. It's worth it knowing you have your angels by your side and you have your husband na feeling ko naiinip na at gusto ng matapos ang reception para diretso honeymoon. So yeah... I wish you hapiness. Cheers for the newlywed. " itinaas ko ang aking champagne glass.
