Mischievous Sweetheart

Prelude

"Do you, Richard Santiago, take Yerenica Sy as your lawfully wedded wife? To love and cherish her, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for so long as you both shall live?"

Silence.

Why isn't he answering? It's been a minute.

Did he really fell out of love?

Five minutes have passed before Richard opened his mouth to answer. The words that came out are the words I am prepared to painfully hear.

"I—I'm sorry." His voice shaking. He looked at me before taking a step back.

It's alright. I already expected this. I know his heart belongs to someone else now but still pushed throught this marriage. Kasi akala ko pwede pa.

Tears started falling down. This was supposed to be a happy day. We were so happy and contented back then. Where did it go wrong?

My vision starts to blur while looking at his back walking further away from me. I can feel my heart breaking. It's getting hard to breathe. Haaa. My eyes are closing. Pakiramdam ko nahuhulog ako.All I could remember is my brother running towards me, aiming to catch me before everything went black.
