Broken Strings

Track 24

You're my piece of mind,
in this crazy world.
Your're everything I've tried to find,
your love is a pearl.

Tuluyan nang lumiwanag ang buong paligid. I saw Gabby sa gitna ng garden with his mic, singing. He's with Ricos and Lance.

You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer, is that you realize,
you'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.

I face left and saw Daddy,Kuya Howard, Ate Rose, Chescka,Lolo,Lola, Meghan and Steven. Sa right naman ay mukhang ang mga magulang ni Gabby na may kasamang dalaga. Nakangiti sila sa akin.

The world will turn,
and the seasons will change.
And all the lessons we will learn,
will be beautiful and strange.

I face him again. I can see the love in his eyes while singing. It feels like kami lang dalawa ang nasa garden. Parang slow motion ang paligid. We're only looking at each other.

We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer, is that you realize.
You'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.

I couldn't help but cry. Oh God! This man never failed to show his love for me. He always love surprises. I can't contain my happiness now kaya iyak lang ako ng iyak while looking at him.

You will always be, beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show,
that you will always grow,
evermore beautiful, in my eyes.

And there are lines upon my face,
from a lifetime of smiles.
But when the time comes to embrace.
for one long last while.

I saw our family and friends na naluluha na din samin ni Gabby. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nasa malapit sa stage pala sina Lily, Lucas, at Brent. She saw Lucas na naiiyak din at nag-pakarga kay Brent.

We can laugh about it, how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye, 'cause true-love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.

You will always be, beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show,
that you will always grow,
evermore beautiful, in my eyes.

The passing years will show,
that you will always grow,
evermore beautiful, in my eyes.

I saw him starting walking to me. I bite my lips para pigilan mapahikbi. He's inches away from me ng bigla siyang lumuhod sa harapan ko. Ngayon ko lang napansin na puno ng rose petals ang paligid namin. Ricos and Lance are still playing the music kahit hindi na kumakanta si Gabby.

"Sweetheart..." Panimula nito. I looked at him na umiiyak pa din.

"First of all, sorry kung iniwan kita kanina" nagtawanan naman ang lahat.

"Sana nagustuhan mo ang surprise ko. We all planned this nag-patulong ako sa family at friends natin" napatingin ako sa kanila and mouthed "Thank you".

"Sweetheart, my love, my baby, my everything. I know that I've hurt you before and pinag-sisihan ko iyon ng sobra. I thank God that he had given me a chance to be with you again. I would never trade this moment to anything in this world"

Oh Gabby....

"Sweetheart, Hailey Riz Montez, Will you marry this man and be with you until forever?"

I'm speechless at the moment. I can't even say a word. Nakita ko ang nag-aalalang mukha ni Gabby sa harap ko. Sumisigaw naman si kuya ng "Wag kang pabebe sumagot ka diyan!"  kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.  Ngumit naman ako kay Gabby.

"Ye-yes... sweetheart...I will marry you"

"Thank God! I love you sweetheart"

With that, he get up, slid the ring on my left finger and kiss me endlessly.

"Thank you! Thank you sweetheart!" He hugged me so tight.

"Thank you too sweetheart for this surprise and letting me be Mrs. Gabby Del Prado. I love you with all of my heart" ganting yakap ko naman sa kanya.

Nag-palakpakan naman ang lahat at nag-cheer. I saw Gab's parents and the girl beside them walks toward me.

"Hello Hija, I'm Esther Gab's Mama, this is my husband Oscar, and Gab's little sister Yvette. Welcome to the family hija!" I smiled and hugged his parents first before hugging Yvette.

"Finally, I have a sister na! Thank you dahil tinanggap mo ang kuya kong abnormal!" Yvette said. Natawa naman ako sa kanya

"Yvette!" Said Gab in a warning tone. Dinilaan lang siya ng kanyang kapatid. Mukhang pareho silang may pagka-brat nito.

"Bessie!!!! Congrats! Finally you found your own happiness!" Meghan said.

"Congratulations, Hailey. Finally ikakasal na kayo" Lily said.

"Thanks Meghan, Lily" I hug them both.

"Now, I know kung bakit ka pamilyar ng una kitang makita Hailey. Ikaw pala yung babae sa wallet nitong ni Gabby na lagi niyang nilalabas at iniiyakan pag nag-babar kami ahhahaa" Steven said.

"Wow pare laglag na laglag ako sayo ah!" Gabby said na nakapagpatawa samin. I want to check that photo next time.

"Princess..." Si Daddy.

"Daddy..."

"Matagal ka nang pinaalam sa akin ni Del Prado nung huling punta niyo sa Tagaytay. I talked to him about his plans to you and he asked for your hand. Gusto ka daw niyang pakasalan at wag nang pakawalan. Muntikan ko na nga iyan sapakin dahil sa pag-papaiyak sayo dati buti napigilan ako ni Howard"

"Daddy naman eh!..." Niyakap ko ito dahil naiiyak na naman ako. He's brushing my hair with his hand.

"I only want the best for you Princess. I want give back the smile on your face through Gabby. I know that he's one of your happiness now"

"Thank you Daddy. Thank you for letting me be with Gabby"

Bumitaw na ito sa pag-kakayakap sa akin at tumingin kay Gabby. He's face is serious.

"Del Prado, I gave you my trust wag mong paiyakin uli ang prinsesa ko kung hindi ilalayo ko siya sa iyo"

"I will never break your trust tito. Aalagan at mamahalin ko siya until God forbid me."

"Call me Daddy now, son" nag-katinginan naman kami ni Gabby. Tumango naman ako bilang pag-sang ayon.

"O-okay po Daddy" nauutal pa na sabi ni Gabby. Tinapik naman ito sa balikat ni Daddy.

We're engaged now. Siguradong magiging busy kami for the next months lalo na at manganganak ako. We've decided earlier that I will give birth first before the wedding. Ika nga ni Meghan minsan lang ako ikakasal kaya mas maganda kung sexy daw ako.  Magtutulong-tulong naman daw ang mga ito sa pag-oorganize ng wedding kaya ang twins na lang daw at ako ang asikasuhin ko.
I can't wait to walk down the aisle and say our vows. I know that it will be a day full of love and blessings from above.
