Kath's POV
4 weeks passed simula ng madischarge si DJ sa hospital. Syempre umuuwi siya kina Tita at ako sa bahay namen. Yung dream house. Sayang nga lang, konting panahon lang ang pagtira namin don.
Ngayon ang pinakasusumpa kong araw. Wedding Day, ayaw kong sabihing akin kasi nasasaktan ako. Albie released my parents last night. Syempre, kailangan kasama ko sila na maglalakad sa aisle. Kung sanang si DJ yung nag-aabang sakin sa altar, it would be much better. Pero hindi e, worst part is aattend sila ng kasal. Nadulas kasi si Tita na may wedding ako ngayon, bilang bestfriend 'daw', sabi ni DJ, he should be here. Gawwd, I can't do this. Drake is with Julia na, they're flying to Australia. Naintindihan naman ni Drake and sabi namen para mag'vacation na din siya. Na'excite pa siya kasi Ate Sof's pregnant so may aalagaan na siya pagbalik nila. Pregnancy talks, sadly nalaglag ang baby nina Chie. We didn't know how it happened pero na'comfort din namin si Chie. Ako nga, naisip ko palang na malalayo si Drake ng matagal saken, it hurts like hell. Eh how much more kung nawalan siya ng anak right?

After this day, my life would change. How could I start a new life without my family? DJ forgot me. Drake's not with me. Why are you so unfair, Destiny?
Pinagbuksan nako ng pinto ng driver. Church wedding. Binuksan na ang pinto.. Nagsimula na wedding march. Actually hindi ko kilala ang mga kinuha ni Albie. Tss, masabi lang nya na gusto ko talaga to? It's my turn. I walked with my parents. I can't stop crying. Tinignan ko ang barkada, all sad faces.. Next is si Ate Roanna, she just gave me a sad smile na para bang awang-awa siya saken. Lastly, DJ with his parents. Sana sila yung naghihintay saken sa harap. He smiled at me.. but there's something wrong.. na para bang nasasaktan siya..
The wedding started and dahil sa wala akong pakielam hindi ko namalayan na vows na pala..
"Do you Albie, take Kathryn as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you Kathryn, take Albie as your lawfully wedded husband?"
Tinignan ko muna si DJ.. Is this where we'll end? DJ, sabihin mo lang na mahal mo ko, ako mismong magtatakbo sayo.. A tear fell down my cheek, pinisil ni Albie ang kamay ko signalling me to answer.. Goodbye DJ..
"I.. I do.."
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Congratulations! You may now kiss the bride.."
Albie was about to kiss me on the lips pero umiwas ako sa kanya, instead he just kissed me on my cheek and whispered..
"You're now mine, Babe.."
Poker face lang ako the whole time. I faked smile sa mga picture taking. Sa reception, walang masyadong nangyare. Family lang ata ni Albie ang masaya, lahat ng nasa side ko malungkot. I know gustong-gusto na nilang umalis sa lugar nato. Buti pa sila, they can go whenever they wanted to. Habang ako, nakatali na sa isang demonyo. Hours passed, natapos na rin ang reception. Tulala ako the whole time at pag tinatanong ako ng guests, sinasabi ko nalang that I'm tired. Totoo naman e, pagod nakong masaktan..
Pumunta ako sa family ko.. Kasama din nila ang barkada with Tito and Tita.. Albie's not with me.
"Princess, we're really sorry. Wala man lang kaming nagawa.." Mama
"It's okay Ma. Andito nato. Wala na tayong magagawa.."
"Girl, sa totoo lang eto na ata ang pinakamalungkot na wedding na pinuntahan ko.." Ingrid
"Yea, even the bride is miserably sad.." ako
"Kath, kahit anong mangyare walang kalimutan ha?" Miles
"Oo naman.. Love you Guys.." Group hug.. Mamimiss ko din sila..
"Kath.. Anak.."
"Tita.. Tito.."
"Sayang naman at hindi mo kami natawag na Mommy at Daddy.." Tita
"Sorry po.. I just needed to do this.."
"It's okay Kath.. We fully understand.." Tito
"Kayo na pong bahala kay DJ.."
Nagyakapan nalang kami ulit when I saw a silhouette of a man behind them. It was him.. The man I loved.. The man I used to dream of with forever..
"DJ.." I hugged him. He hugs back. DJ, just say that you love me and I'll fix things right at this moment..
"Kath.. Why are you crying?" Kase mahal kita and it hurts me to death na makita kang walang pakielam saken.. Sana kaya kong sabihin sayo yan ngayon.. Sana tayo pa ren.. I stayed silent.. I just wanna savor the moment na magkayakap kame.. This will be the last..

."Siguro, masaya ka talaga no? Hahaha, don't worry I know Albie's gonna take care of you.. I love you bestfriend.."
