EPILOGUE

Walking down the aisle, it seems like everything is new though it’s been years. Five years had gone so fast but Macy’s  life with Hendrick is still the life she can’t ever compare with anything else. All along she knew that she made the best choice when she married him discreetly in Pangalo, Bohol. And the story of her life never ended there but only just begun.

“We used to walk down here five years ago. Still not used to this my lovely daughter? Still crying like the first time?” tapik ng Daddy ni Macy sa kamay niyang nakayakap sa braso nito.

“I’m just so really blessed Daddy. I am blessed with three kids and a very loving houseband.” She glances at Hendrick who’s wearing his white tuxedo, looking do deadly gorgeous.

Time never erased his beauty. Time enhances it even more. At parte ng pangako nito na pakasalan siya sa kada ika-limang taon ng pagsasama nila bilang mag-asawa.

They never had a fight since they got married. She doesn’t know what’s  so wrong but they never really argue. Madalas siyang makulit at maarte pero napakahaba ng pasensya nito sa kanya. Nahirapan itong mag-adjust sa pakikisama sa ama niya pero dumating ang isang araw na parehas na lang silang nagising na sobrang close na ng dalawa at madalas mag-golf kasama ang Papa Jesu niya at ang beyanan niyang si Don Enrico.

“Mamidoo, faster please.” Lingon kay Macy ng pangalawang anak na si Love habang bitbit niyon ang isang basket at pasaboy-saboy ng mga pulang rose petals sa aisle.

“Shhh, tayet plit, tate Dab. Papa Jetut will det mad.” Saway naman ng bunso niyang si Amorette sa panganay na kapatid habang ang panganay naman nila na si Vlad ay tahimik na naglalakad, bitbit ang wedding ring nila ni Hendrick.

She wants eight kids but her husband decided to stop because she had a very hard moment delivering Amorette normally. She had to undergo a caesarian session and of course was conducted by her husband.

Siya ang kisa-isang babae na pinaanak nito simula nang maging duktor ito at anong swerte niya na lumalakas ang loob niya kapag naroon ito sa delivery room.

“Quiet now, both of you. We’re near to Dadidoo and you two must stop talking. Ang daldal niyo.” Bigla na lang sabi ni Vlad kaya napatingin siya sa Papa Jesu niya na ngumiti sa kanya.

Always late reaction ang panganay niyang lalaki at mana iyon kay Hendrick, pati sa katalinuhan ay mana rin pero ang dalawang babae ay manang-mana sa kanya sa kakulitan lalo na si Amorette.

“Oh finally, here you are again.” Hendrick smiled at her as he stoops down to kiss their children.

“Dadidoo, babidoo.” Pinatulis ni Amor ang maliit na nguso at hinalikan ang ama sa pisngi.

“Sit now my ladies. Daddy has to marry Mommy.”

“Oteydotey.”  Sagot pa ng bunso nila habang ang pangalawang babae naman ay napakibit balikat lang at iwinasiwas pa ang buhok na ipinakulot niya dahil nagmamaktol kapag hindi raw curly ang buhok.

“Let’s  go. You have to sit beside me and you must behave. After this we’re going to have our 4th sibling. Isn’t it exciting?” bulong ni Love sa bunso at humagikhik ang dalawang bata habang papalayo.

Nagkatinginan sila ni Hendrick pero umiling lang iyon nang yakapin ang mga ama niya bago kinuha ang kanyang kamay.

“My lovely bridedidoo.” Hendrick mumbled and looked at her intimately.

“Labidoo so much hubby ko.” Humilig siya sa braso nito at pasimpleng pinahid ang luha sa sulok ng mga mata niya.

“I feel truly the same, baby. We will count how many wedding ceremonies we will make in the future. No leaving each other’s side.”

“Super likey much.” She giggled and so he kissed her forehead and rested his lips there. “No leaving each other’s side.”

“Amen.” Sagot ni Hendrick na nagpatawa sa kanya at nagpangiti rito habang inaakay siya papunta sa upuan nila.

Kumindat ito sa kanya at kinagat ang labi.

“I know that stare. You’re horny.”

He chuckled sexily. “Always…and that’s  a great part of loving you. No other woman can make me feel this way and you never failed since then and now. Can’t  wait for tonight.”

“Me, too.” She whispered and felt like crying again when he sealed their fingers together on his lap.

Naiiyak na naman siya kasi napakaswerte niya sa lahat ng bagay. She has three Daddies and one Mommy. She has a sister who’s now so responsible and close to her. She has a perfect husband and perfect kids.

She maybe a full-time Mom but nothing compares to it when all that she has to do is to wait and pamper her kids and so as to love her husband every minute of the day, and it’s a duty that she will never ever regret and will treasure it eternally...

“So as long as I live I'll love you,

Will have and hold you,

You look so beautiful in white

And from then til my very last breath

This day I'll cherish,

You look so beautiful in white

Always…” mahinang sabay ni Hendrick sa live na boses ng kumakanta sa kanilang kasal.

Hawak niya ang kamay ng asawa na walang sawa niyang minamahal sa araw-araw at araw-araw pa niyang mas lalong minamahal.

He chose the best woman and God gave him the best wife in the world.

What more could he even ask for?

Wala na siyang mahihiling dahil nasa kay Macy na ang lahat. She's a very loving and hands-on mother to their kids. She teaches them morally and leads them spiritually. Still she's not off to material things and gave him the opportunity to manage her own family's business, which he granted with all his heart.

Kulang pang kabayaran ang lahat ng ginagawa niya sa pagbibigay nito sa kanya ng napakagagandang tatlong anak at ang pag-asikaso sa kanila na tila ba wala itong kapaguran. Kaya ang sukli niya ay walang kapaguran din na pagmamahal.

She doesn't know how thankful he is but her fathers do.

“Lovidoo,” he mumbles.

Tumingin sa kanya si Macy at umarko ang mga kilay sa ilalim ng veil.

Napakabata pa rin nito sa edad na 24 pero walang kasing sarap magmahal.

“This is like the first time. I'm nervous.” he confessed.

“Don't be. You're perfect and I know you'll always be. You ay for me and I am para sa'yo lang. Don't be nervousy. Labidoo kita always.” ngumiti pa ito kaya naningkit ang mga mata saka siya hinalikan sa panga.

Mahal na mahal din kita.

Napangiti na lang din siya at saka tumango.

Palagi naman siyang speechless kapag nagsasalita ito ng ganoon kasi hindi maitatago ng mga mata ng asawa niya ang pagmamahal sa kanila ng mga anak niya.

She gives her hundred percent or even more especially when it comes to him and their kids that's why she dserves to be treated as his queen, the only boss of his heart.
