Speak Now (Edited)

Aliyah Villanueva

"I need to go there right away!"

"But Ali-"-Alex

"no buts Alex. He is the one who follows me before; now is my time to follow him"

"On his white veil occasion? Really?"-Alex

"Uhm... yeah?"

"see? You do not even know your answer"-Alex

"Well, I don't care"

"let her, Alex. It's her mistake anyway. If you can stop him, Aliyah, its good then, but if not you should stop already."-Jasmine

"Thanks, Jasmine. You are a good friend"

"No problem. Alex & I, both of us are still the bridge of your love story & Adrian, but today is not the right day to become a bridge. Today is the most memorable day for the two couple"-Jasmine

"but for me, they are not a couple"

"then good luck"-Alex

"Say to Adrian that we wish him a congratulation"-Jasmine

"I will & thank you"

I am Aliyah Villanueva. I am not the kind of girl who will just ruin a most memorable day of a girl but I'm doing this for his promise. It was from Adrian Lee. The first time we met, he is the first one who fell in love with me. Let's say he is cute but he's not my type. He's somehow like an android. But my friends are helping him to court me. It was Alexandra Roswell and Jasmine Aragon. Both of my friends are on his side, still, I keep him pushing away. I heard him shout, one time, that he promises he's going to marry me someday after we graduated and we have already jobs.

One time, I heard from Alex (Alexandra) that Adrian is now more close to my enemy, Charmaine Condle. He stops for me. I was relieved that time but something in my heart I feel being a stab in a million times. Like seeing him smiling and laughing together with my enemy. Until I heard from somebody that they were already official. At first, I thought he just want to backfire at me but when I confirmed they are are official. I don't care at first, not until I fall from him.  

It's my fault actually that I let him go. Am I that crazy? I don't care anyway at least I do my best to bring him back to me again. But if he chooses her more than me? I will let him go already. 

As I came inside the church where the wedding was held I saw his family and his friends or let say our friends in there. I look outside, where the bride was, she was yelling at the bride's maid.

Later, the wedding song was started to play but it feels like a death march. I wasn't showing it to anyone. I was hiding in a curtain that looks like I'm uninvited by his bride.

After a long prayer, I already heard the priest say to speak now to him. I only heard silence. And that's my last chance so I stand up even my hand was shaking. And I got all their attention, even him. I saw some horrified looks from everybody but I'm just looking at him. And I got all the courage to speak...

"You broke a promise!" I shouted

"Aliyah? I'm glad you came but...what do you mean?" he said

"You promise that you will marry me after we graduated and until we have already our jobs! You even shout it aloud on our campus! Haven't you remember it?"

"Yeah, I remember it" he bowed down his head

"Then tell me what happens!"

"I gave up. I said to myself if you don't love me, then, I should give up" he sighs

"You shouldn't do that! Fine! I'll be honest. I already love you!"

"Really?"

"Yes, so, please, stop this thing now!"

"I can't"

"Why?"

"I already love her. I'm glad you love me already but-" I cut him off

"Enough. I already know. I'll get going now"

"Ali wait-"

"Just stay where you are. Don't follow me I'm just okay."

.........................................

After some months of crying, Alex and Jasmine never leave my side. And I'm leaving the country now going to South Korea to live a new life. I'm currently at the airport now together with Alex and Jasmine.

After some mins, all the passengers have been called up, including me. I hug Jasmine and Alex. I'm sad and at the same time, I'm happy.

I enter my plane and sit on my seat number. I was looking outside when I saw someone running near the entrance of the plane. And the guards were trying to get him back. I knew it... It was him... Adrian Lee.

He raises a banner with the saying, "Wedding canceled. And I'll wait for you again. I'll fight for you"

And because of that, I smiled and I didn't notice that I already cried.
