JEMA's POV

"Open your eyes, jem.." bulong sakin ni Mika, kinakabahan ako.

Pagbukas ko ng mata ko...

"CONGRATULATIONS! She's awake!"

Bumuhos ang luha ko nang makita ko siyang nakangiti, at habang papalapit ako sakanya... kasabay non ang pagbalik lahat ng ala ala naming dalawa..

"D-deanna.."

Tumakbo ako sakanya at yumakap..

"I love you still, I always will.."
bulong niya sakin..

"Thank you, Deanna! T-thank you kasi gumising ka na.. Thank you kasi bumalik ka. Napakahirap saking panoorin kang maghirap pero pangako, hindi ako aalis. Wag ka bibitaw ah? Kapit ka sakin.."

Humigpit ang kapit niya sa mga kamay ko..

"Thank you for not giving up on me Jem.."

"Shh rest ka muna, Deanna.. I love you. Nandito lang ako ha? Hushh, I love you."

"Jem..."

"Hmmm?"

"Will you marry me?"

"I will always choose you, Deanna. Yes, I am giving you my life..."

"I love you."

At hinayaan ko na siyang makatulog..

"Jem.."

"Bakit, mika?"

"Your ring. Congratulations!"

"Omg how? Hahaha"

"Matagal na sakin yung ring nayan, nang maconfine si Deanna binigay niya na sakin. In case daw na mabuhay siya, magpropropose daw siya and guess what? She did!"

Napayakap ako sakanya. I am just so grateful, Thank you Lord.

"Thank you.. Thank you.."

"Welcome. Pagkagaling na pagkagaling ni Deanna, ischedule ko yung wedding niyo sa America! Hihi..."

*1 MONTH LATER*

"It's your wedding day!!!" Sigaw sakin ni Mika and guess what, sila na ni Ara ulit!

Sobrang masaya ako sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay namin, sobrang saya..

Magaling na magaling na si Deanna, nagpropose siya ulit sakin.

*** FLASHBACK ***

"Happy monthsary, my Jem."

Nandito kami sa park na sinet up niya.. yung flowers, petals, hahaha kinikilig ako!

"Since I haven't do this properly.. Haha.."

Lumuhod siya at nilabas yung ring.. minsan ko na nitong pinuri sa mall nung kasama ko siya.

"To the most beautiful person in my life. Will you marry, Jema Galanza?"

"Ofcourse, Deanna Wong! I love you!"

And I received the most wonderful hug ever..

*** END OF FLASHBACK ***

As I walk down the aisle, I could see my life. My only light, and my greatest wonder. The most wonderful hello, and my hardest goodbye. Nakikita ko kung gaano sila kasaya, yung mga tao sa paligid.. Who would have thought?

"Hi my future wife."

Nahampas ko siya sa sobrang kilig ko...

"We are gathered here today to celebrate with Jessica Galanza and Deanna Wong as they proclaim their love and commitment to the world. We are gathered to rejoice, with and for them, in the new life they now undertake together."

"Deanna, repeat after me:

Jema , you are my best friend and everlasting companion. You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours."

Jema , repeat after me:

Deanna , you are my best friend and everlasting companion. You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours."

"You can now say your message for each other."

"Hi, beautiful. Hindi naging madali lahat, I had been through a lot before marrying you. We've been through a lot, pero hindi ka bumitaw. Salamat, Jem. Isa kang magandang blessing, at binigyan mo ako ng rason para mabuhay ulit. Habang nandoon ako sa ospital, naririnig ko kayong lahat. Kung anong mga sinasabi niyo, gustong gusto kong gumising sa tuwing naririnig kitang umiiyak. Gusto kong bumangon at murahin yung sarili ko kasi pinaiyak kita. But I was too weak to do that, but trust me, hindi ako bumitaw. Kahit sa punto na akalain ng mundo na sumuko na ako, kahit kelan hindi ko ginawa. You give me every reason to live and fight for love. You showed me how great love is. I love you sti, I always will, wife."

"Hindi madali sakin na tingnan ka nun habang unti unting nauubos yung buhok mo. Hindi madali sakin na umupo at walang magawa. I'm sorry for letting you experience to fight alone but believe me, I was there nung nalaman ko. Hindi ako umalis, hindi ako naligo, wala akong ibang ginawa kundi bantayan ka. That's love deanna. I had a dream na may cancer ka nung time na yun, I was too scared to admit na kahit papaano natalo ako ng panaginip na yun. And sinundan ko si bridesmaid, si Mika hahaha that's when I knew everything. Who would have thought we'll reach this far? I never thought na I'll end up being Jema Galanza Wong. Who would've thought I'd end up with you? I'll fight for you, even if It takes my own life. I love you still, I always will."

"And so, by the power vested in me by the American Marriage Ministries and the State of , I now pronounce you husband and wife."

"You may now kiss the bride."

And that kiss, completed me.

I guess, this is our happy ending.
