"Congratulations, girl!! I'm so happy for you!!" I greeted Clarisse before giving my speech as her maid of honor.

"Ever since high school, we have been talking about this. Hahaha. Nagtatanungan pa tayo kung sino unang ikakasal satin. Sabi ko sayo, ikaw e. Ayaw mo pang maniwala e. Hahaa. If you guys don't know, she's always the one who will be "AYOKO DYAN, WAG SIYA" haha siya yung picky for me which I treasure because if not for her, I won't be able with the person I love right now. And Cla, you're married na. I can't wait to be a Ninang. Hahaha. Isa ako sa mga magsspoil sa kanya. And for you, Julian, I hope you will treasure my bestfriend. Love her, take care of her, and be each other's support. Kasi kung hindi, samin siya uuwi! Haha I love you both! Cheers!" I said and raised my glass of champagne.

They all cheered and laughed with me.

"Nice speech you got there, b. Sa susunod kayo naman ni Donny!" Cla said. And I laughed with her. I'm going to tell her soon.

As I was making my way towards our table, I felt a little bit dizzy. But didn't bother.

"Cute ng speech mo babe ha." Donny said and kissed my forehead.

"Oh thank you babe. Di ako prepared. Hahaha." I said and laughed.

"Hindi naman halata babe e." He said and held my hand.

We faced the stage and watch the whole programs. There is something about the weddings that will make you feel emotional and just want to be married. Hahahaa. Well, I'm engaged. I'm gonna get there.

I can't help but to think of Tasha walking down the isle. And Me? I'll be waiting for her on the other side of the isle. I can't wait to announce our engagement. Although, she's already wearing her engagement ring.

"Time to throw the bouquet. Who's gonna be our next bride??" Clarisse announced.

I looked at Tasha, and she was smiling. Although she looks a little bit pale.

"Baby, are you okay? You look pale.." I whispered.

She looked at me drowsily.

"I don't know... I feel dizzy baby." She answered and rested her head on my shoulder.

I checked her temperature but she's not even hot too. I wonder what's wrong.

Is she...

"Baby, do you want to go home?" I asked.

"We can't baby. It's my bestfriend's wedding. I can't leave her. I'll be okay in a minute. I just need water." She said.

I gave her a glass of water and made her drink it.

"If you still don't feel good after an hour, let's go home. Okay? I'm sure Cla would understand." I said and kissed her forehead.

"Uy Tash!! Sali tayo! Ihahagis na ni Cla yung bouquet" Nell said excitedly.

My girl looked at Nell drowsily.

"Wait. Tash, are you okay?" She asked immediately.

"No Nell. She feels dizzy" I answered.

"Did she drink alcohol?" Nell asked worriedly.

"I think a glass of wine." I said.

"Naku. Wait lang Donny ha. Let me get her to go to the restroom." Nell said and I nodded.

They both went to the restroom. I wonder why?? Is there something that I don't know..

They came back after an hour. And Tasha looked more relax than a while ago.

"Are you feeling better now baby?" I asked worriedly.

She smiled at me.

"Yes baby. Don't worry. And I have something to tell you when we get home." she said and kissed my cheeks.

Hmm. She's hiding something from me.

-

"Thank you for coming Tash and Donny." Clarisse said and hugged us.

"Thank youuu! Enjoy! Make babies na!" Tasha said and laughed.

"Lokaret ka!" Clarisse said and laughed.

"Ingat kayo ha?" Cla said and waved goodbye.

Tasha and I went inside car. She was smiling from ear to ear.

"Baby, what are you smiling about?" I asked her and held her thigh.

She looked at me. And smiled.

"Baby, let's go home na. I'll tell you when we get home." She said and kissed my cheeks.

We were driving home and I can't help but think what it really is. I have a gut feeling. And I hope I'm right.

A few minutes later we arrived home and I saw her sleeping in her seat. I took a brief moment to stare at her and just admire my wife to be.

Lord, I'm so thankful that I have an amazing woman like Anastasia. From high school sweethearts to each other's first to married life. I can't help but think that I'm blessed to be loved unconditionally by the woman of my dreams. Thank you for making our paths cross and making a oart of each other.

Tasha moved a bit and smiled. She looks really tired. So I decided to carry her out of the car and lay her in bed immediately. Nell doesn't live with Tasha anymore since I moved in. But I never wanted Nell to leave since Nell and Tash bought this place. Although, Nell told me that she'll move back in when Tash and I decided to settle down. Great friends, to be honest.
