Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 65

Part 65
Jax's POV

It has been 5 years and finally, this is the big day for me and the love of my life, I've waited so long for this day and finally it's happening.

"ready ka na, Kuya? " Jaxtin asked me, he was wearing suit and tie which made him more adorable. I picked him up and hugged him, I'm going to miss this guy for real.

"ofcourse, Jax. Always ready." I answered, I planned to have a vacation at Hawaii for 2 months since on leave naman and wala naman masyadong gagawin. "where's ate? " I asked where Jaxmine was, she was appointed to be the flower girl this day with Jaxtin.

The past 5 years had been rough and uneasy, andaming ups and downs but I was so thankful that I managed to keep up and keep my life going. Mom entered the room with Dad and they were looking at me. I must admit na medyo uncomfortable yung tingin nila saakin.

"are you sure you're ready? " Mom asked, tinanguan ko naman siya. Dad was proud while looking at me.

"you have grown so much, son. Dati binubuhat lang kita eh." Dad joked, Mom laughed and then went quiet. I don't want to be so emotional kaya naman I narrowed my words down to it's simplest form.

"I've been preparing for this for 5 years ma, ngayon pa ba ko aayaw? " I asked her, napangiti naman silang dalawa saakin even my siblings were smiling too. I've always been thanking God for blessing me with such pretty creatures like this, a treasure that I'll forever be holding.

I looked outside and appreciated the sun for giving us a wonderful weather, I was badly inlove with the scenery I was in. Then I realized that I was going to be late kaya I rushed into my car then beat out the street. I was wondering if kaya ko pang masinget yung pagkain dahil I haven't had my breakfast yet.

Drive-thru line was so long so I decided na bumaba na lang nang kotse and eat inside. They were looking at me and maybe wondering where will I go or where have I went?

But somehow, thinking of possible answers were deep, I will go somewhere I'll be happy and cry at the same time but where I went was different, it was no fun, it was full of sadness but then look at me now, smiling and fulfilled.

Hindi joke ang love and damn when you take it too seriously, love na mismo ang maglalaro sayo, I was never happy with my relationship before but I'm beyond more thankful for God giving me this wonderful gift in my life and I wouldn't even ask for more.

"hi sir, mukhang pupuntang wedding ah? " the cashier asked me, I smiled at him even though I was starving af.

"yeah, one piece chickenjoy, spicy hmm." I said then paid already, binilisan ko na lang din yung pagkain ko and then an old men sat infront of me, he was shaky at halos matapon tapon na din yung hinihigop niyang sabaw.

I was busy looking at him na hindi ko na napansin na he was also looking at me, "looks like it's you're lucky day today, son. I was supposed to get married at 1976." he shared, he tried telling me story kahit na halata sakaniyang malat na ang boses niya. "but then, my fiancee decided to call the wedding off kasi daw hindi ko daw kakayanin kung mawawala siya."

"she sick? How'd you end up? " I asked, tumango naman si lolo saakin while biting onto his burger.

"yeah she's sick, I've been with her through thick and thin, she fought stage 2 cancer, meaning she's not dying. May tsansa pa hijo." he smiled and I've felt his smile through his eyes, he looked so happy and satisfied.
"but then she chose someone else, masakit hijo but what can I do? It's her happiness which makes me fight everyday." he rubbed off his eyes, now all I can hear is his sad voice. "hindi ko naman mapigilan, kaligayahan niya yon eh, bakit ako hahadlang diba? "

"then how is she now?" I asked, I was wondering if she ever changed her mind. "di po ba siya bumalik? Sayo?"

"she's healthy and alive, hijo. She's happy but we didn't end up together, she's still with the guy she chose over me. Gustuhin ko mang balikan niya ako, paano? It's too late, ako na yung tinamaan nang sakit niya noon."

I teared up, gay-ish but his story meant a lot, he then smiled at me then tapped my shoulder.

"you're lucky, your story's not similar to mine." he said but then nginitian ko naman siya.

"no actually, we're somehow similar po. Anyways, I have to go. Baka po kasi malate ako." I said then left, I was so unlucky na naabutan ako nang traffic on my way to the church, for sure papagalitan ako nang wedding coordinator for being this damn late.

Nag karoon nang one way muna sa intersection which fucking sucks, bruh, this is my day bakit parang madaming madaming humahadlang?

After waiting for hours, were finally given the way and I rushed myself on the church.

"In your eyes, I have found my home.
In your heart, I have found my love.
In your soul, I have found my mate.
With you, I am whole, full, alive.
You make me laugh. You let me cry.
You are my breath, my every heartbeat. I pledge to listen to your advice, and occasionally take it.
I pledge to never keep score…even if I’m totally winning.
I pledge to always admire your huge, strong, kind, and determined heart.
I pledge that I will love you kahit na ang lakas lakas mong humilik." Alex said, everyone was taking photos at I can honestly say that it was blinding, her sister was crying hard, maski ang Mommy ko ay touched.

Everything was perfect, it was so nice, sobrang ayos nang venue but maybe it would be better if I was standing with her infront of that altar.

But hey, I'm not sad, I'm happy that she's happy and she's finally getting married with her bestfriend. :)
