Chapter 53

Cover

The beautiful wedding dress got ruined from the dirt. The white petals of flowers were scattered terribly on the ground, the guests turned into series of tombstones, the bride was weeping not from joy but from undying pain.

The bride.

I cried louder. Every bride should feel happy during her wedding, but I chose this path. I shouldn't feel this pain...

The wind blew, and it carried my veil with rhythm. Wala sa sarili kong pinagmasdan ang aking mahabang belo na nakatali sa aking buhok. I was hoping that the pain would be blown away, na sa bawat pag-ihip ng hangin mabawasan ang bigat na nararamdaman ko.

"Tama na man ang ginawa ko, hindi ba, lolo?" I asked my grandfather just like the old times. Na parang nasa tabi ko lang siya, nakikinig at magbibigay ng kumento sa akin. He would pat my head with a gentle smile on his face, and he'd say wonderful words that would soothe me.

We were that close before but was shattered apart when we've met the Arellanos. Naging abala siya sa eleksyon at lumayo ang loob ko sa kanya nang makilala ko si Wayto.

I couldn't help but to blame myself, it was all because of me. Dahil pinili ko si Wayto noon, kaysa kay lolo o sa pamilya ko. That he used my love for him to tear our family apart.

What now? Ngayong bumalik ako na sinisisi pa rin ang sarili at pilit nagkukunwari na ayos na sa akin ang lahat, I would discover that everything was already settled?

Paano naman si lolo? Paano naman ako?

They kept me in the dark for what? Kung nabubuhay lang si lolo, hindi siya makakatiis sa akin, he would gladly tell me everything. I was spoiled by him, and he won't let me feel this way for years.

Siya na lang talaga ang natitirang kakampi ko, nag-iisa na lang siya pero ngayon ay tuluyan nang nawala. I feel so alone.

I continued to cry while tightly hugging his tombstone.

Siguradong nagsisimula nang magkagulo sa simbahan. I was almost three hours late, and their eyes would turn white waiting for the bride. Sigurado akong hindi lang buong Enamel ang mabubulabog sa malaking eskandalong ito, it could also occupy the country's news, lalo na't nagsisimula nang magkaroon ng mabangong pangalan si Governor Arellano Pilipinas.

Wayto and the whole Arellano's a mess right now, na siyang matinding hinarap namin noon. Masasabi ko na ba na talagang nakabawi na kami?

Was everything a success? They deserved it! Our family experienced the most, at wala pa ito sa kalahati ng sakit na naramdaman ko o ng pamilya ko noon.

I didn't restrain myself from my own voice, malakas akong humagulhol ng pag-iyak. I don't care if the corpses would wake up from my voice.

This was my plan, it was a success but I couldn't lie to myself. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang sakit. I should be happy and satisfied, nagawa ko ang matagal ko nang gustong gawin. Ang makabawi. Pero bakit umiiyak ako? I should fucking laugh and celebrate! Pilit akong tumawa habang umiiyak.

I might look crazy, but I forcefully laughed with tears in my eyes.

Siguradong sa sandaling may makakita sa akin sa ganitong sitwasyon, they would think that I was some kind of ghost weeping for her early death. But I don't care! Isipin na nila ang gusto nilang isipin sa akin!

Simula umaga hanggang hapon ay nanatili akong nakaupo sa puntod ni lolo. Hindi ko alintana ang panghihina ko at nararamdaman kong gutom, I just want to stay here. I want to feel the presence of my grandfather, sa nag-iisang taong kakampi ko.
