Chapter 29
Wedding
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY. The sun is bright and the skies are blue. Indeed, it's a perfect day for me.
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
Napangiti ako nang masilayan ko ang mukha ng lalaking nasa dulo ng aisle na nilalakaran ko. He's also smiling back at me and I can see sparkling tears in his eyes. Yes, from this moment he's the one and in his arms is where I really belong.
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I love this song. Noong magka-isip ako at naiisip ko na ang pagpapakasal ay ito na talaga ang gusto kong tugtog.
I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can't wait to live my life with you
I can't wait to start
Now, I'll be willing to give my all to this man. Well, noon pa man ay willing na talaga ako pero feeling ko may mas maibibigay pa ako and I can't really wait to say 'I do' para makapag-start na kami ng bago naming buhay. 'Yung buhay na masasabi kong happy ending na talaga kami. I know, wala naman talagang happy ending sa buhay but as long as we're together in our journey, I can say it's a happy ending for us.
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
Ilang beses man kaming nagkahiwalay ay sigurado na kami ngayon sa isa't isa. We will never be apart. He assured me about that na din naman. Ngayon pa bang napakadami na naming napagdaan?
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
Nang makalapit kami sa kaniya ay kinuha niya ang kamay ko kay kuya Gab na umuwi pa galing abroad para masamahan si mama sa pag-hatid sa akin. Nagmano siya kay mama at nakipagkamay siya kay kuya bago ako giniya sa harap ng altar.
"You're so beautiful, babe", bulong niya.
"Thank you, handsome", nakatawa ko namang sagot.
Nang simulan na ang ceremony ay tahimik kaming nakinig until the priest asked us to exchange our wedding vows. Humarap kami ni Hunter sa isa't isa.
"Gaea, babe.. When I first saw you, you already captured me. Akala ko noon infatuated lang ako sa 'yo but I came to realized that I'm starting to like you. Umamin ako sa 'yo and I courted you. Nung sinabi mong girlfriend na kita, walang pag-sidlan ang tuwa at saya sa puso ko. I'm so overwhelmed. Tumagal tayo ng almost 5 years 'cause I ruined our relationship dahil sa pagdating ng first love ko na akala ko mahal ko pa. Sobrang late ko na nalaman na ikaw pala talaga ang mahal ko at hindi siya. I am so sorry for the hard times, babe, but I promise you from this moment on that I will love you for the rest of lives. I will stick with you forever. I will never leave you alone anymore. You and I forever. I love you so much, babe", madamdaming sabi ni Hunter.
Nang matapos magsalita si Hunter ay ako naman.
"Hunter.. No words can explain how happy I am today", umpisa palang ng vow ko pero tumulo na talaga ang luha ko. "Finally, nandito na tayo sa simbahan.. kinakasal. I really can't imagine myself getting married with anyone else but you kaya kahit na noong inakala kong annulled na ang kasal natin noon, hindi ko lubos maisip na i-kakasal akong muli. I can't imagine having my own family without you.. I love you, babe, and I promise to stay with you through thick and thin. I will cherish every moment with you and I will always be your forever."
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
The ceremony continues 'til Father said, "By the power vested on me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Naghiyawan ang mga kaibigan namin ni Hunter at kaniya-kaniyang bato ng mga biro nila habang tinataas ni Hunter ang belo ko. Ngumiti siya sa akin bago ako hinalikan. Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao at walang patid ang kasiyahang nadarama ko.
"I love you", bulong niya.
"I love you, too."
