2 weeks later...
"Are you ready?" Dad
"I'm nervous dad. And scared. And I... I don't know"
"It's fine. It's just normal. But just relax okay?? Dadating ang bride mo"
Yeah. We are about to get married today. Pinaplano ko pa lang yung proposal after we had a talk pero inunahan na ko ni M.
"No more proposals B. Wag na. I'll be marrying you anyways"
"Pero-"
"No more buts. Pag ginawa mo yon no isasagot ko sige?"
"Hey! Oo na fine. Hays. Kelan ba ko nanalo sayo?"
"Never hehe. I love you!!"
So yeah. That sums up everything. We told dad na we plan on having a wedding already and my dad had so many connections nagawa niya yung preparations in just two weeks na ang ginawa lang namin ni Maggy was to tell our preferences about everything.
"Here she is son..."
I stared at my future wife coming from the entrance of the church. So beautiful... and mesmerising. Her beauty never really changes.
"Hey..." she said when she reached my position
"Hey..."
"Stop staring B!!"
"Oh s-sorry. So? Shall we?"
Inangkla naman niya yung kamay niya sa kamay ko at nagpunta na kami sa altar.
The ceremony went as expected. Hanggang sa it's time for our vows already...
"Hoo. Uhm. M... Maggy. It's been what? 8 years to be exact. 8 years since the day I met you. 8 years since the start of this crazy life with you. And here we are now in front of God promising Him of our ever after. I still can't believe how life brought us it's twists and turns pero alam mo anong mas hinahangaan ko?"
I saw her smile as if she understood what I was trying to say
"It was how those twist and turns returned me back to you. For 5 years all I felt was being lost and empty. For 5 years I wanna find something to make me happy. Then you came, you came back in. The very first night we spent together was also the first time that I felt myself happy again. I know I was harsh on you but I promise you that night? I already knew that I've found you"
I saw her cry so I reached for her face and wiped the tears that came out.
"For years, all we released were tears. Tears because of the missing piece na hinahanap naten. And now we finally found it M... we found what's missing. We found each other again"
"Remember how much I love you M. And even if it takes another 5 years or more, kung kailangan kong gawin lahat ng nangyare ulit wag ka lang mawala saken gagawin ko. I love you so much M. I really do. And I promise from this moment on, I'll be here. I'll be here to protect and to love you"
Maggy's PoV
Hindi ko na alam pano pa ko magsasalita dahil iyak na ko ng iyak, but thank God I managed to calm myself down.
"Bryan... B. 5 years. Ang tagal din di ba? Pero kung tutuusin I don't wanna count the 5 lost years. Gusto kong pagtuunan ng pansin yung ngayon... yung ngayon na meron tayo. I was so thankful to have found a 'boss' like you. Ramdam ko noon kahit wala akong maalalang tayo... na iba ka sa lahat ng tao. That you're one of a kind... and that you are someone special."
"Salamat. Salamat sa lahat lahat. Kahit nagkaron tayo ng problema hindi ka bumitaw. Kahit nagkaroon tayo ng gulo noon nananitiling saken ang puso mo. Salamat dahil ng dahil din sayo kaya bumalik ang dating tayo. Wala akong ibang sasabihin sayo Bryan... dalwang bagay lang"
"Ano?"
"Yun ay ang salamat at mahal na mahal kita"
"You may now kiss the bride"
Sa harap ng lahat ng mahahalagang tao sa buhay namin at sa harap ng Diyos, nagkaisa kami at nagsama, sa pangalawang pagkakataon.
Meanwhile... in Marie and Cynthia residences 😂
"Mom!! Dun ka na sa sahig!!!"
"Nanay mo ko ako dapat sa kama!!"
"No!! Ang liit liit na nga ang tigas tigas pa ng kama tapos aagawin mo pa?!"
"HOY ANG IINGAY NIYO MAGPATULOG KAYO!!!"
"Mom it's so scary in this place when will you buy a condo unit?!"
"Pagkain nga wala tayo condo unit pa?! Wag mo kong artehan ngayon masasapak kitang bata ka"
"HOY TAHIMIK PUNYETA. Kung ayaw niyo matulog magpatulog kayo!!!"
"Ma!!"
"Shut up!!"
...
Till IT Ends
"IT" signifies a lot of things. Pwedeng bagay, pangyayare, karanasan o kahit ano pa mang pwedeng pumasok sa kategorya. For Bryan and Maggy, it's been a very long time before they eventually met again. Even without the knowledge of their pasts they still grew to love each other for the second time around.
Ang IT sa kanilang dalawa ay ang panahong hindi sila nagkasama at ang panahong hindi nila naaalala ang isa't isa. Having met the same person for the second time around ng hindi mo alam just goes to show how destiny works wonders in ones life. Na kahit paglayuin man kayo ng pagkakataon, kung kayo, kayo talaga.
Bryan and Maggy were examples of people willing to love and go through challenges for love and wait for the right time those challenges come to pass. Wait for the right opportunity when all things are done and watch everything fall into it's right place, at the right time.
