Fifty Four

All Better

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride hijo." the priest said that made me smile.

I couldn't help but to laugh a little while looking how kuya's hands are shaking na akala mo ay first time nilang magki-kiss ni Ate Stephy, to think na may Aurora na sila.

We all clapped our hands as we congratulated the newly weds, I smiled seeing them so happy, until my eyes darted to the guy at the other side of the church.

"I love you." he mouthed that I couldn't help but to smile and mouthed I love you too at him.

Eugene and I had been together for a year now, syempre hindi maiiwasan ang mga tampuhan, pero maliliit na bagay lang actually, kasi masyadong malaki ang tiwala namin sa isa't-isa para magkaroon ng malaking away. Akala ko magbabago sya kapag tumagal na kami na tulad ng naririnig ko sa mga katrabaho ko patungkol sa mga boyfriend nila, pero iba si Eugene, kung anong kinasweet at caring nya noong nagsisimula pa lang kami, dumodoble yata habang tumatagal kami.

When the photographer asked us to come in front for the pictures, I immediately searched for Eugene, nagkakahalo na kasi ang mga bisita dahil mga nagsitayuan na ang karamihan. Until I felt someone held my hand and when I looked at it, it was my boyfriend looking as gorgeous as ever.

"Found you." he said and winked at me na ikinatawa ko. Sabay kaming lumapit kina mommy para sa picture taking.

After that, the guest followed Kuya and Ate Stephy as they go out of the church, cheering for the newly weds. Akmang susunod na rin ako sa kanila ng pigilan ako ni Eugene kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"What?" natatawa kong tanong.

"You look breathtaking." he said and I couldn't help but to smile seeing how sincere his eyes were, they were beautiful but it showed happiness and love in it that made it more amazing.

"Bolero." biro kong sagot na ikinangiti nya. Hinawakan nya ang dalawa kong kamay at tinignan ang crucifix sa gitna ng simbahan kaya napatingin din ako doon pabalik sa kanya.

"Someday, we'll stand side by side in front of him, in front of many guess and they would witness one of the most special days in our life." He said that made my heart melt.

"Sa tingin mo hindi na tayo maghihiwalay? What if something happened between us unexpectedly?" I asked, worried at the same time, sa isipin pa lang iyon ay para ng binibiyak ang puso ko.

I can never imagine my life without Eugene anymore, minsan napapaisip din ako kung posible ba talagang ganito ko na sya kamahal. Iyong para syang hangin na kapag wala sya, hindi na ako makahinga.

Nakita ko syang umiling at sinapo ang magkabila kong pisngi para halikan ang aking noo, pababa sa ilong, at saka nya ako marahang hinalikan sa labi.

"Hindi tayo maghihiwalay, at kung may mangyari mang hindi natin inaasahan. Babalik at babalik ako noong una kitang nakilala. Liligawan pa rin kita, susuyuin pa rin kita, hanggang sa sagutin mo ako ulit at ipagpapatuloy ko ang pagmamahal sayo." Sabi nya na ikinangiti ko, hindi ko rin maiwasang mangilid ang luha ko na kaagad nyang pinunasan bago pa man ito pumatak.

"I want you to know that I'm serious about you, about us, and our future. That's why I wanted to give you this, infront of Him as our witness." He said and showed me a promise ring.

Hindi ko na tuloy napigilan pa ang pagpatak ng luha dahil sa sobrang pagkaantig ng puso ko. He gently grab my hand and put the ring on it, it's a simple band with intricate designs, no stones or diamonds, but it was perfect for me.
