Kabanata 26
KAPAGKUWAN ay hindi mapakali si Zeal habang naghihintay sa altar. Halos sampung minuto nang huli ang asawa niya.
" Bud relax, darating rin si Aki" pagpapakalma sa kaniya ng kaibigang si Hunt.
" Paano kong may nangyari sa kaniya? The hell I'm being paranoid right now. Where is she? What if her tummy hurts at sumakit ang likod niya" hindi na natapos pa ni Zeal ang sasabihin ng magsalita ang kaibigan nito.
" Kumalma ka nga Heinereich, remember, three months ago na ang sugat na yon ni Aki" pailing iling na wika ni Joshua rito sa kaibigan. Ng makita niya ang kapatid ni Aki na si Bly na kakarating lang.
" Where is she?" pagtatanong niya. Nginitian naman siya nito. " She's here kuya Zeal, don't worry" matapos iyon pinaayos na silang lahat ng receptionist at ilang sandali pa tila pa napako si Zeal sa kaniyang kinatatayuan.
To think he would be marrying the woman he love the most. The woman who broke his rules in his life and make him a good man. The woman that tends his broken and chaotic life. His life.. His love...
For him the Aki is the most beautiful woman he had laid eyes on and now that woman is walking down the aisle to marry him. Her perfect lips, her perfect smile, her perfect existence makes his heart skip a beat.
" Hey, pasensiya na late ako kasi naman ang traffic " pagpapaliwag nito at nginitian siya. Tumango naman siya at nginitian aabutin na sana niya ang kamay ng mapapangasawa ng pigilan siya ng lolo nito.
" Take good care of my Princess kung hindi malalagot ka sa akin Zeal" iyon lamang ang sinabi nito at ito na mismo ang naglapit ng kamay ng dalaga.
" I will " tugon niya rito. Nang maalalayan niya si Aki paharap sa altar hindi niya maiwasang mapatitig rito.
" What? " ani Aki.
" My heart wouldn't stop beating fast the moment I saw you" at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kamay ng dalaga. He saw how Aki smiled at him at pinch his hand.
" Cheesy my love save that for later" wika nito na siya namang ikinatawa niya ng mahina. At nang magsimula na ang kasal at makapagsimula sa 'i do' siya ang unang kumuha ng singsing at matiim na tinignan ang kasintahan ng puno ng pagmamahal.
" Aki Empress Fuentes Rouge Zariya, my baby, my love, my secretary. I have so many vows prepared just for this special day but my vow to is simple. Since the day you applied for being my new secretary I saw your file at doon ako nabighani sa kagandahang taglay mo, call it love at first sight " narinig niyang nag react ang mga kaibigan at iilang bisita sa sinabi niya pero hindi niya maalis ang tingin sa dalaga na nakangiti at tila pinipigilan ang luha.
" Then, when I saw you for the first time God my heart wouldn't stop beating fast. And I know our first meeting was not good at all, I'm sorry for that I was an asshole but then you change me. You change me to the point I would lay down my life for you, even break my own rules. For God sake how much I was in love with you. I told you didn't I, you stole my heart but I'll get my revenge by stealing your last name. I don't like saying a vow that I couldn't keep, but this vow I am proud to say this to you that I will love you until my hair turns grey, may my skin wrinkled and my bones collapse but I will love you for how long God lets me. I will make you happy for as long as I am around, I will be your man and your only man. For I love you, il mio amore" he saw Aki dried her tears. Kaagad niyang pinunasan ito at nginitian ang kasintahan.
" Your making me cry, Zeal. For my vow, I shall keep being your love, your woman and your one and only. Hindi ko man aminin oo minahal na kita nang makita kita noon. Para sabihin mo sa akin ang linyang iyo, masaya nako sapat na nga ang mga ginawa mo at sinakripisiyo para sa kaligayahan ko, mahal.
