ODETTE'S POV

April 23, 20**

Exactly one month have passed. One month of having the best reason to wake up in the morning, it is because of the guy who always brings my breakfast in bed. Because of the guy who's truly loving me. Because of the guy who's taking care of me. Because of the guy who's the reason of my smiles. Because of the guy who's the father of the baby inside me. Because of the guy whom I'll meet in front of the altar in few hours.

Sa loob ng isang buwan, pinakita sa'kin ni Vince ang mga bagay na magpapa-sigurado sa'king, he's the one. He never let a day pass by without worrying about me, and our baby. Hindi lang sya boyfriend, hindi lang sya father, nagsilbi rin syang personal nurse, yaya, cook, driver at guardian angel ko. He's too good to be true.

Kung noon, napakita nya sa'kin kung ga'no nya 'ko kamahal, mas lalo na ngayon. Pakiramdam ko, sya na ang buhay ko. Sya na ang mundo ko. I don't believe in this at first, but now, I see, destiny is for real.

This ceremony proves that the thing so called destiny, does exists. And this guy waiting for me in the altar, proves that true love waits for it's been processed by fate.

Vince, will you promise me that I'll be the only girl you'll love and care this much? 'Cos it hurts to the inner most of my heart if in the near future, I saw you caring this much for other girl. Because I know, for sure, when you care, you give your hundred and one percent. And I can't accept the fact that I can't have even a .01% of that.

I stopped walking in the aisle to meet my parents in the halfway. They both smiled at me and gave me two thumbs up. My dad held my head and kissed me in the forehead, and whispered, "He'll take care of you. He loves you so much." Then I faced my mom, and found a tear falling thru her cheeks, "Baby girl, I am crying because I knew someone who would care for you more than we do." she whispered too.

They both walked with me in the aisle. Every step I do, there's a giant stomping on my heart too. Should I really marry this guy? Will I not regret this decision? Am I ready to face the new life of being the wife of this guy? Am I worthy to have him?

I lost my control on my feet. It's 3 more steps away from him when my feet stopped moving. And my eyes stayed glued on the bouquet I'm holding.

Am I really deserving of this man's love? Can I promise and plead in front of the altar that he would be the only guy I'll be loving for the rest of my life? Can I really hold on to that thing forever? What if our forever had a game over?

"Odette!" I was distracted by that voice. I turned my look on my right and saw Jin, my bestfriend. He's giving me a 'what-the-hell-are-you-doing look'.

Vince, hindi ko alam. Mapapanindigan ko bang ikaw lang ang mamahalin ko? Alam kong marami na tayong napagdaanan, pero, ewan ko!

Nilingon ko yung umaalon na dagat. Pati yung aisle na dinaanan ko. Napatingin rin ako sa mga bisitang bakas sa mukha ang pagkawindang. Ang mga kaibigan kong babae, nagaalala na rin sila. Ang mga lalaki kong kaibigan, hindi din alam kung anong nangyayari sa'kin. Huli kong tinignan si Lance, 'di tulad ng sa ibang mga nandito, ang expression nya ay kalmado lang. Nararamdaman ko ang gustong ipahiwatig ni Lance sa'kin.

Mahal kita, Vince. At hindi ko hahayaang masira yung kung anong meron tayo.

I held my head up high and smiled to the fullest. I looked at Vince with a tension expression on his face and he's absolutely sweating. I flashed him the sweetest smile I could to make him feel that I'm not going to runaway because of this doubts.

And I heard everyone's relief sigh. And as my parents gave my hand to Vince, visitors, relatives, and special persons around us gave us a round of applause.

"Akala ko talaga iiwan mo 'ko." he whispered to me as we walk in front of the altar.

"I will never leave you, Vince. The possibility of me leaving you is just when I'm out of my mind, and I would definitely do that if Maria Odette died." I answered him.

"You may now kiss the bride." the priest said.

He slowly cupped my face, at parang slo-mo nyang nilapit yung mukha nya sa mukha ko. I'm too impatient! So I grabbed him at his nape and pulled to me aggressively. I kissed him as if we're not in front of a priest and bunch of people.

I can hear claps and cheers.

[A/N: Okay! Pag pasensyahan nyo na po ako! Hindi po ako marunong gumawa ng wedding chu chu. Una, hindi pa naman ako kinakasal. Pangalawa, 'di ako nakikinig 'pag umaattend ako ng kasal. And last but not the least, pagkain lang pinupuntahan ko 'pag may kasal. Muahahaha XD

So? Okay na yan! Hahaha. Reception thingey? 'Wag na! Basta, ang nakasalo ng bulaklak ng bride ay si Zia nanaman XD Tapos, American friend ni Vince ang nakasalo sa garter. So ininis nanaman ni Odette si Jun. And this time, kinonyatan na nga ni Jun si Odette kahit pa sya ang bride. Muahaha XD I super love Od-Jun tandem. Muahahaha XD

Okay na sana yan. Hanggang dyan na lang maaabot ng makakaya ko eh. Pasensya na po. :-(( Weak si LLEE sa wedding thingy.]
