Epilogue

I hope you enjoyed Faith and Nicholo's story. Maybe sooner or later I'll edit this story. Hindi pa matured ang pag-iisip ko nang sinimulan ko itong isulat. Sorry for the grammatical errors, sana maunawaan niyo po. Hindi pa ako gaanong bihasa sa pag-sulat ng istorya o novel kaya pag pasensyahan niyo na but I'm thankful that you reached Epilogue. Thank you so much. I love you all.

Epilogue

Jaime Faith's POV

Nicholo is true to his words, Nung sinabi niyang 'so right after you discharge here. I will marry you no matter what' tinotoo niya yun.

Right here in front of the close doors of the Manila Cathedral, I'm standing wearing my dream wedding gown. Sinunod niya nga talaga yung nasa sketch book ko. I'm still wondering, paano niya kaya nakuha yun?

Everything is planned. Lahat ay naaayon sa gusto ko. Mula sa maliliit na detalye hanggang sa malalaki. Everything is polished, for me it's perfect. He always makes me contended and satisfied. Yung dating drawing ko, ngayon nakikita ko na. It feels surreal. Para akong nasa panaginip at ayoko nang gumising pa. Yung tipong para kang nag-lulucid dream kasi lahat ng gusto mo nangyayari. But still, I have doubts. I'm living in reality, not in a dream nor fiction. Malay ko ba kung sa una lang ganito?

Madaming what ifs sa utak ko. Pilit ko mang alisin, hindi ko magawa. I've read a lot of love stories, I've seen a lot of them at halos lahat doon ay sa simula lang masaya. Sabi nila yung unang tatlong taon lang yung masaya, yung parang you're living in a fairytale, punong puno ng sweetness at pagmamahal pero unti unti din yung mawawala. Parang kaya lang kayo magkasama kasi It's your responsibility, you're obliged to stay because you're tied with each other, you're married. Yun yung kinakatakot ko. What if katulad din kami ng ibang couples? What if sa una lang pala masaya? What if kaya lang kami mag-stay kasi may responsibilidad kami sa isa't-isa pero wala nang pagmamahal? What if kaya lang kami nag-stay kasi nasanay na kami? Hayst. I can't stop over thinking.

Hush Faith. Inhale exhale. It's your wedding day, smile and remove all the doubts. Pagkausap ko sa aking sarili.

The drumroll inside my system started. Hindi ko na halos marinig ang wedding song dahil sa lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Is it normal that I feel nervous? Normal lang bang kabahan kapag ikakasal na? Wala namang mangyayaring masama diba? Kanina pa akong umaga, hayst.

[For better reading play 'Take my Hand' while reading]

Forever seems a long time

But nothing seems like a long time

When I'm with you

I feel like I'm walking on water

Since the day I asked your father

To let go of his daughter

Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang aking pinakawalan nang marinig ko ang dahan dahang pagbukas ng pintuan sa aking harapan. This is it. Magiging Mrs. Marquez na ako. I should be excited and happy not nervous and scared.

Nagsimula na akong maglakad. I'm still curious why the bride needs to walk slowly? Pwede namang yung normal na lakad o kaya naman patakbo? Pareho lang naman yun diba? Makakarating ka pa rin naman sa harapan. Hayst.

I smiled when I saw my parents waiting for me. Nandun sila sa may pagitna na part. I roamed my eyes around the church, nandito halos lahat ng relatives namin. Kahit yung nasa abroad nandito din. Paano nga kaya nagawa yun ni Nicholo?
