Theodore's Pov
*wedding bell rings*
It's a very special day in fact my whole family is invited. I saw my cousins, aunts and uncles taking photos. The entourage is on their assigned positions. Everyone is excited and waiting for the bride. I can see all their faces from the altar. I can't hide my excitement, my hands are shaking and cold.
My mom approached me and fix my bow tie "You look very handsome today son." Then she smiled
"SHE'S HERE!!!" the wedding coordinator shouted.
Everyone went to their places and the wedding song started.
*A thousand years by Christina Perri playing*
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
The ring bearer and flower girls lead the entourage followed by the bridesmaids which are the friends of the bride, followed by our aunts and uncles and the maid of honor.
One step closer
The door opens slowly... I saw a light from the beautiful sky and the most beautiful girl in this event. She slowly pulled her head up and flash her beautiful smile inside her wedding veil. Everything is perfect. Her arms
interwined her father's arm as he lead her to the altar.
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I can see her beautiful face while walking down the aisle with red rose petals falling down from the ceiling. She gave everyone a priceless smile. Flashes of cameras are every where, every moment was captured.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer...
She's closer... and closer until she reach the altar. I gave her a kiss on a cheek and say
"You're so beautiful."
"Thank youu kuya.." she replied
I get her hand from our dad and gave it to his groom.
I'm his groom's bestman.
I can't help but cry out of joy. I can't believe that years already passed and my sister was walking the aisle on her wedding day.
So this is how it feels like. To attend and witness a couple exchanging their vows and promising each other to be together through sickness and in health.
I slightly feel bad about it. I miss Loraine. The girl i really love. I was never by her side during the time that she's feeling sick. I wish I could still see her priceless smile, hear her loud laugh and giggles. I wish she's here beside me always. I miss how she tries to get my attention, she's kinda annoying before but I never know that I would miss all of it.
How I wish I had a chance to ask Loraine to marry me and see her also walking the aisle. I know she will be the most beautiful girl i'll ever see in my entire life.
I LOVE YOU LORAINE.... I ALWAYS WILL...
After the ceremony, we went to the reception in a popular beach resort in Bataan. They chose to held their reception here because this is the place is very special for them. We used to go here every year since I discovered this place. My sister met her husband here in Bataan.
There will be a dance of the bride and her father. And the bride and groom. I feel uncomfortable so I decided to go somewhere and unwind.
Until my feet brought me in the Lighthouse. I feel a pinch on my heart and tear fall down on my face.
The moment I confessed my feelings for Loraine is still fresh on my mind. I can still feel the emotion i'm feeling that moment.
*Midnight Sky by Unique playing*
Every time in my mind
I'm telling myself
Should I be?
Who will be?
The man who'll hold your hand
I can still imagine the feeling when I'm holding your hand.
Whenever I close my eyes
I can see your lovely smile
And I open it again
And then I see the midnight sky
I close my eyes and see your beautiful and innocent face. The face of the girl I love. I fades away when I open my eyes.
The man that you'll touch and see
I'll give my love that can't explain
We will be running in the rain
And I will hold your hand
Hold my hand
The moment in the hospital, when we're both crying and saying I love you to each other I was holding your hand but you asked me to let you go. I didn't let go. You were the one who let go of yourself Loraine.
The man that you'll touch and see
I'll give my love that can't explain
We will be running in the rain
And I will hold your hand
Hold my hand
I want to see you Loraine, I want to feel your presence that brings me to life. Wait for me Loraine... At the right time, We will walk in this place and I'm holding your hand.
I love you forever...
I didn't noticed that I'm already crying. I wiped my tears and smiled. I know Loraine will never leave me even if she's not physically present I know she's always with me. I was staring at the stars in the sky. When I heard a footsteps walking towards me.
"Still lost? I guess the lighthouse leads you here.." A familiar voice said.
THE END
