WEDDING DAY

ALLIE

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me.... Yung kantang parang ako. I am looking at a beautiful woman in a bridal gown will marry the man of her dreams, pero bakit parang ang lungkot lungkot naman niya? He agreed to marry me kasi tutulungan ako...or dahil sa mamanahin ko? Pero diba hindi naman siya interesado? Maybe his reason is to try this adventure. Di ba nga when we were younger pumayag siya kasi wala siyang magawa. Nabobore siya sa ordinary life niya as a businessman. What is his reason now? Para makaiwas sa mga naghahabol sa kanya?

Gusto lang niya to bed them but not marry them.

Daniel Antonio is the #1elligible  Bachelor in the country and one of the youngest Billionaires in Asia. News is that nagkabalikan daw kami after 5 years and this time he is making sure na pakakasalan ako. Sa meeting with the parents, our properties were presented to each other. The pre nuptial aggreement was drawn...making me the youngest billionairess in the country now. Nakakalula. Ayaw ko nito. I disagreed with them. Even Daddy and Mommy disapproved of the content of the agreement, but the Antonios did not really care what Dan wrote there. I do not want his money. Why did he write in paper?

I look at the girl standing in front of the mirror. Sad. Confused. Hurt. But I need to do this. I can not stand being paired to Howard. Kahit mayaman pa sila. Kahit na guapo siya. Masama pa din ugali niya. Baka bugbugin lang ako at baka mapatay ko siya or ako ang mapatay niya.

I am in my room. Mostly sa mga gamit ko nasa bahay na ni Dan. Yung naiwan dito naka box na din. Tama ba ginawa ko?

I mean tama ba na magpakasal ako sa kanya?

DANIEL

I am already at the church now waiting for my bride. I do not know how I should be feeling. Gusto ko siya. Gusto ko sa akin lang siya. Nung pinagsabihan ako ng tatay niya at pilit inilayo sa akin, wala akong magawa. Hindi ko siya pwedeng pakialaman. Nung makita ko siya ulit, yung nararamdaman ko mas grumabe. Pero gabun din naman nararamdaman ko para sa ibang babae eh. Siguro nagagandahan langnako sa kanya.

"Sir Daniel?"

"Nandiyan na sila."

"Ok"

The organizer told me to get ready cause the bride is already here. D is my best man. My other brother is one of the groomsmen. Hindi ko din kilala yung ibang participants ng kasal. Siguro mga kaibigan niya or mga kamag anak niya. Napansin ko mga Ninong at Ninang namin puro mga kaibigan ng mga lolo at lola namin at mga magulang namin. Kilala ko din sila pero hindi sila yung mga close ko or kinakausap ko.

Suddenly I saw her. She was walking beside her Dad, Atty. Escudero.  She looks so beautiful and hot in her wedding gown. I just hope that this one is for real. I mean I hope that we're getting married for the right reasons and for love. Kaso hindi eh. She's just here temporarily and so is this marriage. I look at her sadly. She's sad too. Yeah, who wouldn't? Ikakasal ka ba naman sa lalaking hindi mo mahal? I looked at her in the eye and tried to tell her that everyone is watching. I smiled at her hoping that she too will smile. She saw it, and smiled. Tayo lang ang magkakampi ngayon dito Allie.
