Seven Days In Paradise

Wedding of the year

Zoey's POV:

The day is finally here, my wedding day. I feel ecstatic and a little jittery too. Siguro dahil ito na yun, finally getting married to the love of my life. Hindi naging madali para sa amin ang umpisa ng lahat. Para sa iba, I may have developed Stockholm Syndrome that was why I liked her. Pero I knew there was a connection, that first time she pulled me into an alley, the smell of coffee in her mouth and Vanilla on her body, I knew I loved her then. The way she looked into my eyes. That was when I knew she was the one. She was my end game, I really felt this weird connection between the two of us the first song I secretly dedicated to her was the song by Chris Connor called I've got a crush on you. It was silly I know, pero ito ang kauna-unahang beses na tumibok ang puso ko para sa isang babae, now that the day has come for us to finally be one, I couldn't believe it still. 

Nadinig ko na may nagknock sa kwarto ko malamang si Mommy ito. I got up from the vanity mirror to check who it was. Pag-bukas ko ng pinto, nakita ko si Darcy na naka-ngiti at naka-ayos na.

"Sis, hindi ka pa ready? Your wedding is in 2 hours! My gosh! Halika na, aayusan na kita." 

"Well, I was getting ready." I said to her as I ushered her in my room.

"Right, ganda kasi. Hindi mo na kailangan ng heavy make-up, you could even make a trash bag seem fashionable if you wore it." She teased me. 

"Hay naku, Darcy. Malakas ka pa ding mang-alaska!" 

"No, Zoey. I'm serious, para kang goddess." She said chuckling at me. 

She said as she sat on the chair sa tapat ng vanity table. She had a make-up bag na ipinatong nya sa table. In the last two years I've known Darcy, she likes dressing up and make-up. She could even pass off as a model.

I shook my head and chuckled lightly at her.

"So, what are you planning to do to my face now?" I said chuckling.

"Planning to make your wife salivate." She laughed at what she said.

"Even more?" I chuckled at her.

"Oo, kaya ko yan. You'll look like a goddess in no time." She said winking at me.

"Sige nga go." I chuckled as I sat in front of her.

She smiled and started to put make-up on my face, after thirty minutes, inayos naman nya ang buhok ko. After an hour, when she was satisfied, she motioned for me to look at the mirror, I couldn't believe how she made she made me look more beautiful. I smiled at her gratefully.

Hinila ako nito patayo against the wall. She instructed me to pose for her.



I looked lovely if I may say so, bukod sa pagmemake-up, magaling din kumuha ng litrato si Darcy, she has influenced me to take photos and to post them on InstaFace, it has been a hobby of mine to destress from law school aside from music.

"Perf sis! This goes to your InstaFace!" She said smiling.

I scooted near her to have a look, she showed me the photo she took kanina and I was not disappointed with the look. I smiled at her and asked her.

"Send me a copy ha?"

"Sure! Now, get into your wedding dress! We have another hour before we begin. I'll let you be muna." She says.

"Sige, Darcy. See you later." I smiled at her.

She gets up and leaves with her make-up bag in tow. I watched as she left my room, earlier kinuhanan na ako ng photos ng wedding photographer na hinire namin, they will be back any moment. So I started to slip into my dress, I will be wearing a sequinned backless gown, with a cathedral train that was 20 meters long with a veil. Bea decided to wear an off the shoulder sequinned gown, with no veil and her train was similar to mine.
I wasn't allowed to see her just yet, but thinking of her standing at the end of the aisle is something I am excited about. In my mind, our forever already started that fateful afternoon I have mistaken her for Darcy, causing for me to get kidnapped and taken to Batanes. How I wish we could go back to the place where we started out as lovers.
