Pure Love

Chapter 15

Diane.

He left, I'm back, sad life.

"Diane! Your da-"

"I know, mom."

"How did you kno-"

"I saw him."

"Whe-"

"In a place where I was supposed to be. Where my final destination should be." I can't stop myself, I cried. Dad.

Mom just hugged me and tried to comfort me, she's also crying. A knock interrupted us. It was Danica.

"What's going on?" We just looked at her with a face full of pain. "Mom... dad."

"I know honey, I already know." She went to mom directly, hugged her and cried. Afterwards, she looked at me, knelt down. "Diane, don't leave us." Then she hugged me and cried again. "Mom, Danica. Dad told me to..."

"What do you mean dad?" Danica asked. Mom explained to her everything and after that, she understood. Then I continued myself, "He said he... he love you so much and... he'll.... he'll miss you." I cried faster.

Dave.

We knew it, all of us knew it. Goodbye and rest in peace tito Peter. I promise to take care of Diane and your family and to help to manage your business. Diane, I promise to protect you.

"It's time!" Tita shouted happily. Two months just passed and today is our day. "Come on! Sir, please take in charge to him. I'll go to the bride." And she left.

Starting today, I'll make this day the best and throughout the days.

"Congratulations Dave! I'll go ahead to see her." And Danica left waving.

Diane.

I miss you dad, today is the day.

"Sweetie! What are you waiting for? Wear your gown!" She's really excited. I can't imagine what dad's reaction would be. "Come closer, capture her beautifully!"

"Oh mom, thank you." I said to her. I wanted to cry but she stopped me.

"Sweetie, don't cry. This is your special day so you don't deserve to cry." She knelt down in front of me. "Congratulations sweetie."

---

This is it.

I do.

I will, I do.

"You may kiss the bride."

STRONG FLASH.

"Dad?"

"Congratulations sweetie." And he hugged me.

"I miss you." I started to cry and hugged him tighter. "Don't you think I won't to?" And he smiled.

"I'm Diane Santos and today, I'm Martinez. All these years, all I wanted to see is a smile and I believe that happiness always exists from the people on earth. I've faced challenges against many things but these people would still accept me. More than that, there's a guy I saw the time when I started to cry just... came out from the womb. He named me Diane together with my mom. Next to them is my sister who just come back." I looked at her, "Welcome Danica. Back to the guy, he's something that I can't explain." I slowly looked above saying, "Hi dad, I know you waited for how many years to see me in this position... here it is, but you're not here for me to see you crying and appreciating. But I can feel that you're here, am I right?" I wipe my tears and continued, "Another guy showed up in my life and disguised as a-not-friend-of-Diane." And I smiled and the crowed laughed. "And looked what we've been through, ended to and faced to, A Wedding." I looked at him directly, "Dave Martinez, I am here to say, I do." And together, the crowed did an around of applause. I went down on the form and sat next to him, my one and beloved person after dad. "I love you." We both said at the same time... unexpectedly.
