I'm All Yours

64

Pabalik na kami ni Ronnie sa Manila to meet up with our parents. I'm excited, ikakasal na kami in 3 months. Oo ganun kabilis ang preparations, excited lahat. And most especially, I'm excited to start my new beginning with Ronnie. Eto na yun. I won't waste any chances now. It will all be true. That I am all his.

"Excited ka na, Anna?" Ronnie asked while smiling.

"Yeap. Super." I answered. We're currently inside the plane. This is it. We'll be back. My parents flew first to make some arrangements and also, to invite all those we needed to invite. Ewan ko ba but my mom insisted that I should only take a rest while they prepare my wedding. But I also want to do it. Pero bahala na. I know my mom. She knows me too well.

He's holding my hand and I know he's staring at my hand. There, revealed my ring. Hay. I can't believe this. From a fangirl to future wife.

"Anong iniisip mo dyan, future Mrs. Alonte?" he asked curiously.

"Ikaw. Ako. Tayo. Yuck cheesy ko hahaha" I answered and giggled softly.

"Asus, Mrs. Alonte. Wag na mangarap ha." He said.

"I already feel like I'm dreaming." I answered.

"You're my dream come true, Anna." He said and kissed my hand.

"Let us now welcome the newly engaged couple!!" A host stated joyfully.

I saw everyone. My college friends. Hashtags. Our parents. Our dear friends. Co-stars and our family's friends. I'm in awe to see everything set up. Hay. Nag-prepare talaga sila Mom and Dad for this. I can't believe this.

"Before we start the program, let's start with the opening pray that will be led by Ms. Patricia Olivares." The host said.

As I look at my bestfriend, she's very teary eyed like it was already my wedding day. Nakakaloka sila.

"Let's hear from the bride and groom to be on how the actual engagement happened." The host said and smiled at us.

Ronnie looked at me, giving me a cue that he'll be the one to tell it.

"Well, first of all, thank you to everyone who attended our engagement party. This wouldn't be possible for my future parents. Thank you so much for the support and everything you've done for us ni Anna. It feels surreal that we are finally getting married. Thank you po sa inyo." Ronnie started and my dad gave a thumbs up while my mom was smiling.

"Sa totoo lang, sobrang kinakabahan ako... We were never officially back together. I kept on asking myself kung paano ko ba siya tatanungin. Should I ask her to be back with me again or biglain ko nalang ba siya na tanungin..." he chuckled and held my hand. I could feel my tears starting to form.

"And then, nagdecide na ako na magpaalam kela Tito and Tita kung pwede ko na bang kuhanin ang kamay ng anak nila. I was scared to death. I might get rejected after everything that happened. But to my surprise, they hugged me and already accepted me as their family. With their acceptance, I have been preparing to ask her. Knowing Julianna, she wants an intimate engagement. She believes na dapat between her and her husband to be yung moment na yun kasi sila ang magccherish nung moment na yun. I even asked my parents and her parents if that will be okay. And they said okay naman. Thank God. Although, I have recorded everything." He said and smiled. I looked at him shockingly. He did what? I can't blame him. Those kinds of memories are not just worth remembering but also worth keeping. Not only with our hearts and minds. But also with recording tapes.

*video of their proposal was being played + the video, Ronnie made for her*

Everyone was in tears on how genuine it was and I was in tears too.

I cuddled up to Ronnie and gave him a soft kiss. Everyone cheered and celebrated with us. I got the microphone from Ronnie and spoke.

"I wouldn't want the night to end with just you talking, Mr. Alonte. HAHA. I would like to say a few things. First of all, I want to say thank you Ronnie's family. Hello po. I know we've gone through so many challenges before we reached this point. Pero thank you po for supporting us and showering us love that made Ronnie and I's hearts mend. Sobrang thankful din ako sa parents ko na they have undying love for Ronnie. They never changed and still loved him despite everything. Thank you too, to my love. Ronnie, I really don't know what I did to deserve all this. But still you gave your all. I almost lost you. But please, don't go. Okay? I will love you until the rest of our lives." I said and kissed him.

"And thank you to everyone who was there for us. Sobrang thankful kami sa inyo. Hashtags and my squard. Thank you. Kung hindi rin dahil sa inyo, we wouldn't find our way back together. Thank you so much!!" I said and smiled.

Each one of them came and congrulated us. Akala mo kasal na kami but, hindi pa. Engagement party palang 'to.

Dear Lord, please let me enjoy this. Ayoko pong may mali pa pong mangyari. I can't wait for our perfect day. Thank you too Lord. You led us back together.
