Chapter 36
Wedding

S C A R L E T

FORTUNATELY, the wedding went smoothly. While I was practicing my speech ay dumating na yung sinasakyang car ni Tita. She's so beautiful! Ang ganda niyang tingnan lalo na dahil sa suot niyang dress habang naglalakad papunta sa direksyon ni Dad.

I saw him cried after he saw Tita down the aisle. He's so happy. I never saw him that happy in my entire life. Mom, are you here right now? I hope you're happy now that Dad found his happiness again.

I was to mesmerized by the scene in front of me right now. Hindi ko namalayan na lumulubog na pala yung araw. It makes the place even more beautiful.

"Okay let us move on to hear the speech of the Maid of honor and Best man of these lovely couple. Please let us welcome Seven Velasquez!" Pumalakpak naman kami pagkatapos namin marinig ang pagtawag nung host kay Seven.

I am sitting right now beside Van. I can feel my hands sweating. Kinakabahan ako na mag-salita sa kanilang lahat. Naramdaman ko ang paghawak niya sa kamay ko. Napatingin ako sakanya at nakita ko siyang nakatingin doon sa harapan.

"Don't be scared." He softly said. Napangiti naman ako at tumingin muli sa harapan.

"Good evening everyone! I want to start this speech by saying that I am really happy to see my mother smile like this again." Tumingin siya kanyang ina. "At first I was against of her marrying another guy, but after realizing so much things. She deserves to be happy again. I saw how you became sad and miserable after Dad died. To the point where in even music sometimes can't make you happy now. I was really surprised when you always smile every time you tell me about Tito Terrence. Medyo nagseselos ako dahil may iba nang lalaki ang magpapasaya sayo. Pero kahit na may bago ka nang lalaki sa buhay mo, I would always be here for you Mom." Lumapit siya kay Tita na ngayon ay napapaluha. She wiped her tears away and he looked at my father's direction.

"Please don't hurt my mother Tito. I really like you so much for her. After that day that we spent together, I became so comfortable with you around. Naramdaman ko rin muli yung saya na magkaroon ng isang ama. Please take care of her." Niyakap naman siya ni Dad.

"I will." Sabi ni Dad at umiwas na sa pagkayakap.

"Congratulations to the both of you!" He ended his speech so well.

Nagpalakpakan muli kami. Pumunta siya sa direksyon ko at tinapik yung balikat ko.

"It's your turn." I only smiled at him as my answer.

I stood up and started walking towards the front of everyone.

"What a very nice speech! Let us now welcome Scarlet Zamora! The stage is now yours girl!" Kinuha ko mula sa kanya yung microphone.

I inhaled and exhaled first before starting my speech.

"To be honest, I am shaking right now." Simula ko. Nagtawanan naman yung mga tao dito.

"Dad, you've been strong for me for far too long now. Lahat ginawa ko para sakin, just so that hindi ko mararamdaman ang pagkukulang ng isang ina sa buhay ko. You were the one who raised me all alone. At nung unti-unti akong tumatanda, you started being busy towards your business. I know you wanted to give me the best life, a perfect one. My life is even far from being perfect. Maraming nagsasabi na nasa akin na yung lahat. Pero para sakin may kulang pa rin. I may have all the things present in the world but I don't have the person I wanted the most. Bata pa lang ako, gusto kong magkaroon ng isang ina." Kinagat ko yung labi ko.
