Waves And Hearts

SEVEN

It's finally my day today. Kasal ko na. Isang simpleng kasal lang ang gusto naming maganap pero mukhang hindi iyon uubra dahil after all, I am Riverdale Castro. Simple is never suitable for me.

"Riverdale! Gaga ka wala kang sinabi sa akin na ikakasal ka na!" Darlene said. Darlene Ariadne Laquian. Katulad ko, artista din siya. Aba ewan ko ba kung bakit ganito tong babae na to sobrang ingay.

"Sorry for that." I said and smiled.

"Sorry for her being noisy too." Chloe Maryam Atkins, another fellow celebrity entered my room.

"I am definitely not noisy Chloe. Nakakastress lang talaga 'tong babae na to. You had a boyfriend! Pano mo nagawang itago sa management?" Dar asked me.

"I am that good." I answered with confidence. Pinagtawan niya ako at umupo sa isa sa mga upuan doon. Ganon din si Chloe. After a while, dumating na ang iba ko pang kaibigan. Both in showbiz and outside. Dollar is here as well. Pati si Venice, Serene and Nicole. Well, my squad is here I guess.

"As usual Venice, late ka nanaman." Pang-iinis sa kanya ni Darlene.

"Shut it Darlene. Maaga ka lang sa akin ng five minutes, wag ako." Sabi ni Venice at inirapan si Darlene.

"Parang reunion ah!" Serene said and laughed.

Highschool palang kami, kami na ang squad. But too bad iba-iba ang pinili naming landas. Me, Darlene, and Chloe, we landed on showbusiness. While Serene, Venice and Nicole, is on the medical field. While Dollar is the only one in the acounting field which is really funny since her name fits perfectly to her career.

"Parang kelan lang inaasar mo ako sa soon-to-be-misus eh ikaw din pala! Mas nauna pa sakin!" Dollar said. I just laughed. Me falling in love with jim and us getting mareied was never on the plan, Doll.

Kung karamihan sa babae ay ako ang nag imbita, sa lalaki naman ay puro si Laz ang nag imbita. Mga businessman na katulad niya, mga anak ng businessman and such.

Calla is here as well. Isa siya sa mga abay namin. We have 15 pairs of principal sponsor, 10 pairs of secondary sponsors. Karamihan sa mga ninang at ninong namin, businessmen and businesswomen, lawyers, politicians and such.

The wedding is so grand that its so hard to believe that this is real. Buong mundo ay nakatutok sa kasal namin. Hindi lang press ng Pilipinas ang nandito actually. Pati ibang press mula ibang bansa, naki isa din sa kasal namin.

I am dying to see Lazarus actually. I am finally getting married to him. Kahit na alam ko na malamang, para sa kanya, isa lang itong arte, I am happy to know that I am getting married to him. Archimedes. Soon enough, that will be my last name na.

"Mga miss, get ready for the march." Sabi ni Lianne. Ang maid of honor ko. I smiled at her nodded. Tumayo na kaming lahat to assemble the march.

Garden wedding ang kasal ko. It was really pretty since pababa na ang araw. Fire flies was there like I wanted. Naunang naglakad ang groom, ang mga ninang at ninong namin kasunod ang abay, ang maid of honor at ang best man.

And then it was my turn to walk. I took a deep breath and with my white platform pumps, I started to take my walk. Darlene started to sing the song I requested her to sing.

Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous
I couldn't speak

In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece

Slowly, I stepped. Tears started to flow from my eyes, Ma, Pa, your little girl is getting married. Can you see me?

So as long as I live I'll love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight
