Take Care Of My Heart

Chapter XXIV

Aran's POV

When I saw her in the door and shouting at me, my heart beats so fast that I couldn't hear her anymore. I just want to run towards her and hug her tightly and kissed her passionately and forget that damn wedding. I missed her so bad.
But I remember her doing some silly things that made me stress.

When I am done,washing myself,I wore the most comfortable clothes I have. Then head to the bed. Wala akong balak lumabas dahil dito. I want to spend my day with her in this room.
She just confessed that she was jealous of my cousin that's why she never contacted me.
Natawa ako sa reaksyon niya.  She just so cute of being jealous. I hugged her tightly and kissed her temple. I'd love to do more with her but I want to make it someday.

We just started to experience this jealous thing. It was scary. I became the most scary boss in the office last week dahil sa kanya. Lagi kong inaaway ang mga tauhan ko.

"I love Julyenne, so I promise I won't cheat on you. You are the most beautiful, sexy and kind wife I could ever have."
"Really?"
"Oo."
Hinampas niya ang tiyan ko.
"Aray, "
"You're always making fun of me."
"I love you. I love you." Hinalikan ko ang buong mukha niya except her lips.
" Did you put make up?" Nang maramdaman ko ang cream nito sa mukha.
Tumawa ito.
"Moisturizer lang naman yan."
I wipe my lips. Niyakap niya ako sa beywang. I missed her arms.
"Kahit na. Yucks."
"Ang arte nito."
"You don't have to put make up because for me you are the best. You shine to me even if you feel you don't."
"Ang sweet naman, pero bakit ayaw mo akong pakantahin ng twinkle ,twinkle."
" Because that will make you not shining."
"What?"
"Joke lang. Wala ka na bang ibang kanta bukod don?"tanong ko sa kanya. .
" wala na ,can I sleep? " tanong nito. Umayos ito at kinumutan ang sarili. I looked at her. My eyes roamed around her face then focused on her closed lips. Those were like strawberry.
"Arggghhhh!" Tumayo na ako para lumabas na.
"Don't leave me." mahina nitong sabi. I'm still a man.
Bumalik ako sa tabi niya at binantayan ito. Humiga na rin ako. She put her head in my arm.
"If your grandma will see us?"mahina kong sabi.
" she would be very angry to you!" Wika nito na nakapikit ang mga mata.
"What?" Kinuha ko ang mga bisig ko at bumagsak sa kama ang ulo niya.
"Array,sino ba ang fiancée mo?" Taong niya.
"Ikaw"
"eh bakit takot kang makita ang Lola ko?"
"Baka isipan niyang masama akong lalaki."
"Sige na ,lumabas ka na don,baka isipan niyang may ginagawa tayo."
"Argggghhh." Kainis. That superstitions she believed would kill me now..

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto namin. Bumaba na ako.
Sa susunod na linggo isasagawa ang wedding namin. Our family are helping together to make it possible. Church wedding iyon. Sa malaking simbahan ng Marinduque isagawa ang ceremony.
Ang Pilipinas at ang Thailand business society will attend this ceremony. Ang Thailand business Journalist will come too to cover our wedding.  Napangiti ako. Julyenne doesn't know that it would be the wedding of the century in Thailand. Ang pinakabata at pinakatahimik  at pinakastriktong businessman don ay sa wakas mag-aasawa na.

Tinungo ko ang grupo ng pamilya namin.
"Aran,where is she?"tanong ng mommy ko.
" She's sleeping my."
"Have I told you everyone that Yeesha cut Aran's hair. It's barber cut. As you can see."
Natawa ang pamilya nito. Ngumiti ako. Naisuklay ko ang sariling kamay  sa buhok ko. I still have that hair until now. This is the turning point of my life.
"She let me water the plants and clean our pool." wika ko. Natatawa ulit ang mga ito.
We are having good time with them.

Makalipas ang ilang oras ay nagpaalam na ang mga ito. Naiwan si Julyenne dahil tulog pa ito.
"Aran,send her home." wika ng Lola nito. Ngumiti ako.
"Yes,granny."
Umalis na ang mga ito.
Nang bumalik akonsa kwarto namin ay gising na ito pero tinatamad bumangon.
"Where did you go?" Mahina nitong sabi.
"Sa labas,they went home already."
"Ahh..okay."
"You go home now."
"Ano?"
"Sabi ni granny umuwi ka daw."
"Tsk. Bahay ko to ahh."
"Ko?this is my house."
Nakasimangot ang mukha nito. Bumangon na ito.
"Siya,I'm going. I want to sleep more."
Kinuha nito ang sapatos at ang bag.
"Huwag mo na akong ihatid."
"Hindi talaga. Pagod ako."
Hinampas niya ako sa unan na ginamit nito kanina.
I held her waist.
"I won't marry you anymore. I hate you."
"Okay." Sabi ko. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit.

Umalis na ito.
Mabilis lumipas ang araw at dumating na rin sa wakas ang araw na pinakahihintay ng lahat. May nakaabang na mga undercover agent sa paligid ng simbahan. Mga pulis ng Marinduque ay nakiisa din sa celebration namin. We never see each other until this day.
"Kuya,congratulations!" wika ni Arin. Best man niya ito.
"Thanks brother."
I'm wearing a navy blue suit with a white long sleeve. I combed my hair properly.

Nauna na kami sa simbahan ng pamilya ko.
"Wow,beautiful. " wika ni Carla.
Maganda ang simbahan dahil pinalilibutan ang aisle ng mga bulaklak na nakakapatingkad sa ganda ng simbahan.  They put blue carpet in the aisle.
Ang mga suot ng groom's men ko ay almost the same sa akin pero vest lang ang shot ng mga ito.
Some of them are her relatives.
Ang maid of honor namin ay ang pamangkin nito. Maybe the same age kay Arin.
"My,I'm nervous."sabi ko. Natatawa ang mga ito at ang daddy ko.
May nakabantay sa itaas ng simbahan at may helicopter din na umiikot.
Marami ang dumalo sa kasal namin. Most of my employees at kasamahan ko sa board ay pumunta.
Julyenne thinks that it is  just a simple wedding. Napangiti ako. She might be hysterical.
Napupuno yata ang simbahan sa tao.
Maya-maya lang ay dumating na ang van na sinakyan ng mga bridesmaid namin pati na ang maid of honor namin.
" She's beautiful."wika ni Arin.
"Study Tagalog first before you talk to her."
"As I've known,that girl doesn't know how to speak Tagalog because Sister in law trained her to speak English."
"Oh..you're lucky."
Maya-maya lang ay dumating na ang bridal car.
The wedding coordinator signaled us that we'll start now. Kinabahan na ako.

The music played. I couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics . My mind and heart were on her face.
The memories we had when she was my caregiver until now showed in my mind.
I said harsh words and did bad things but she was still there for me.

~~ Oh kay tagal kitang hinahanap
Oh kay tagal kitang pinangarap
Na makapiling ka
Oh aking mahal~~~

The ceremony went on. Then we exchanged our vows. I was crying while telling her that I always love her forever and be the best person for her.

"Now ,I pronounced you as husband and wife." the priest said.
I look at her. Then I gently opened the veil and cupped her face and kissed her.
"I love you." After the ceremony,we had the picture taking.

Nakatitig ako sa mukha niya. She was very beautiful. The music played again.

~Not sure if you know this but
When we first met I got so nervous I couldn't speak
And that very moment I found the on and my life has felt this missing piece
