The Exchange Deal (TBS: Book 1)

Epilogue

Gavin

The song brought a beautiful harmony inside the church. Para akong nakikinig sa mga anghel na umaawit sa kalangitan.

When I was young I dreamt to marry the girl who will accept me despite the past I had at gusto ko na sa simbahan na ito ko siya pakakasalan. Kahit takot akong umibig noon hindi pa rin nawala sa isipan ko ang mangarap na magkaroon ng sariling pamilya.

This was the second time I get married with the same woman I love. The only woman who healed the wound inside my heart. The only woman who never left me for good times or bad times. The only woman whom I dreamt to be the mother of my children and who's bearing with my unborn child now.

When I asked to marry her again here in the place where our both families started to grow she never hesitated to say yes. Gusto ko na dito siya pakakasalan uli sa Madrid.

Hindi ako mapakali habang hinihintay ko na bumukas yung pinto ng simbahan at makita yung babaeng pinakamamahal ko. This was not the first time we get married but still the feeling of excitement is unbelievable.

"You're exaggerating. It's the second time you get married with the same woman and you're acting weird," nakangising tugon ng pinsan kong si Marcus. He was one of my bestmen.

I smirked. "Shut up, Marcus Alessandro! You're a heartless and pathetic human being who has no idea of true love."

"Ouch! You ripped my heart out, dude," ganti nito sabay tapik sa balikat ko.

Biglang sumabat si Brandon na nakatayo rin sa kaliwang banda ko. "I heard pregnant women are very good in bed because of their..."

Napahinto to nang tinitigan ko siya ng masama. "Later and I will break your neck, assholes!" ganti ko sa kanila and they both laughed.

Medyo nainis na ako habang hinihintay si Sophie na maglakad sa gitna ng simbahan. Bakit ba kasi ang daming principal sponsors, bridesmaids at iba pa?

Pakiramdam ko ang bagal ng takbo ng oras. Excited na akong makita yung asawa ko na naglalakad uli sa pasilyo papuntang altar. I haven't seen her since last night. She was sleeping with her family and I slept alone in our room. I missed her so much.

"Hey, are you okay son?" tanong ni Daddy sa akin ng tumabi to.

I smiled. "It feels like my body will explode in excitement."

Tumawa to at tinapik ang aking balikat. "That is what I felt before when I married your mother."

Tiningnan ko siya. That was the first time I saw him smiling while thinking about their memories. Gusto kong ibigay kay Sophie ang araw na to. I wanted her to be happy on this day kaya siniguro ko na buo ang aming pamilya. I had mom and my brother on our special day. Kahit alam kong hindi madali para kay Daddy na kalimutan yung masamang nakaraan ng aming pamilya hindi ako susuko na tulungan siyang maghilom yung sugat sa kanyang puso. When I asked him and Lav to invite mom they said yes without hesitation.

Masaya rin si Daddy nang malaman nito na totoong anak niya si Seth. He even wanted him to stay here in Madrid for a while at pinagbigyan naman to ng aking kapatid.

"Ang tahimik naman ng kapatid ko. Are you excited on your first night?" nakangising tanong ni Seth na biglang sumulpot sa harapan ko. He was one of my bestmen too.

Bago pa lang ako makasagot nito sumabat na si Brandon. "The longest moan ever!" anito.

Humalakhak na naman ang mga to.

"Hintayin mo yung ganti ko sayo, Fontana!" mariin kong tugon.

He smirked. "Send me hot babes, that would be better!"
