The Wedding Aisle

EPILOGUE

EPILOGUE

Nakakatuwang isipin na dito din pala mauuwi ang lahat. Masaya silang tignan, puno ng pagmamahalan.

Pero, masaya ba ako?

Oo naman.

Eh bakit tumutulo ang mga luha sa mukha ko?

Tears of joy?

Oo... sana..

"Sharlotte," tawag sakin ng ASAWA ko. "ayos ka lang ba?"

"O-oo naman. Naiiyak lang ako sa scene. Ang dramatic kasi ng wedding nila."

Narinig kong nagpalakpakan ang mga tao. Kasal na sila, finally.

"Ah hon, labas muna ako sandali tutal tapos na ang ceremony. Mag-aayos lang ako sandali ng make-up. Nasira na kasi dahil sa luha ko eh. Ayoko namang pangit ako sa wedding photos natin nyan."

He just looked at me and gave me a faint smile. Then, lumabas na ako.

I have no where to go kaya pumunta na lang ako sa garden at umupo sa well.

Such a peaceful atmosphere.

Unlike before. My surroundings was full of noise. Unstable ang family ko noon, away dito away doon. And because of my clumsiness, inayawan din ako ng mga classmates ko, everyone hated me.

That's why I thought of giving up.

But that's before I saw him. Yes, it's Cole. For the first time in my life, I admired someone. He gave me hope. Na baka kapag pinaghusayan ko, mapapansin niya rin ako someday.

But it broke my heart after seeing them together. He's with Leann. Kaya naman umiyak na lang ako patakbo that day, and by coincidence, I ran into him.

He asked me, bakit daw ako umiiyak. Ang sagot ko naman, binusted ako ng crush ko. But in secret, siya yung crush ko.

And our friendship started. But then, nakilala ko rin si Leann. Nalaman ko na magbestfriends lang pala sila. I was so happy to hear that, knowing na baka mapansin din ako ni Cole as someone special not just a cry baby.

Pero, as the days past, I felt that there's something between the two of them.

It's called "connection" that him and I will never have, just the two of them.

At alam ko rin, that behind that connection, may nabubuo na. And it started with Leann. I know, in love na si Leann sa kanya. At alam ko, in no time, mapapansin din yun ni Cole.
