I Fell Inlove With my Best Friend

Kabanata 14 : 'Her Loved for him'

Maximilliana P.O.V

Dumating kami sa simbahan ng maayos at walang kahit anong problema. Si Miya na kalmado na ngayon, at tumatawa. Akala ko talaga hindi na siya mapapakalma.

Nakaupo na kaming lima sa mga upuan namin, at katabi itong Iris na ito, siya ang dulo syempre. Kaya nga sabi ko, mabuti na lang at kalmado na si Miya, dahil kung hindi baka away ang mangyari sa kanila dito.

Paano? Kakadating lang namin, eksato ding dumating sila. Magkasunod lang pala ang Van na sinakyan namin. Hindi namin tuloy alam kong anong mangyayari? Mabuti na lang naka pagpigil na si Miya, kundi talagang manghihiram siya nang mukha sa aso.

Sa ngayon ang tanging tingin ko lang, nasa groom. Nakatitig ako kay Kuya Jolo. Grabi na din pala iyong pinagdaanan nila. Parang kasing, hindi na maalis iyong salitang pagsubok, bago mo makamit ang tagumpay. As I see Kuya Jolo, stared to her soon to be wife, I can say that he's now contended. Kung pwede lang lumabas iyong salitang kontento sa mga mata niya, makikita nila. Ganun siya kasaya.

I turn my gazed, to Ate Ella, wearing her bridal gown. Walking slowly, in the red carpet. Nakangiti, pero nagpipigil ng iyak. I mean, who wouldn't be nervous? Having a mixed emotion she felt for her weeding day, is an unexplainable reason.

Nakita ko pa siyang tumingin sa paligid. Tinitignan ang mga damit namin kung bagay? Maganda naman? Or iba? I'm not sure. But I know, she's happy seeing us. Masaya siyang nandito kami, pinanonood siya sa magiging simula nang panibagong niyang buhay.

Bago siya dumating sa puntong ito. Marami na siyang nadaanang hirap. Literal! Bakit? Hindi nila dating tanggap si Ate Ella, gawa ng ibang rason, na hindi ko alam kung ano.

Pero sa ngayon, habang nakatingin ako sa kanila, pakiramdam ko burado na lahat ng masasamang nangyari at napagdaanan nila. Hindi ko alam kong anong klaseng pakiramdam ang nararamdaman niya sa ngayon.

A perfect consequences of all the years, they've been worked. Iyong nagbunga lahat. Habang papalapit siya, nang papalapit sa groom niya. Napansin ko ang pagpupunas ng luha ni Kuya. I have a question? Required ba na kapag ikakasal? Iiyak iyong groom? Pero, di ba nga pala sabi ko, mixed emotion.

Noong nakarating na siya mismo sa altar, at natabihan niya na si kuya. Ngumiti ang pari sa kanila. I see him, Kuya Jolo hold her hand tightly. As he said like, this is the time, he wait for so long. Ngayon abot kamay na niya, at hindi niya na hahayaan pang makawala.

The ceremony started, the priest speak about the marriage. That marriage is sacred. It is an important ritual filled with hopes, dreams, and excitement... And one celebrates the lives of two people and those they love. And when he said vows and commitment, the whole crowd remained silent.

The boy beside them, holding the ring. And the priest gave the mic, to say their speech.

“I, Jonas Louise Pangilinan take you, Micaella Celestine Ramirez, to be my lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold  from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness, and in health, till death do us part.” She wiped her tears, and stares to Kuya Jolo, sliding the ring to her finger. “With this ring, a symbol of my love to you is eternity, I will love you and honor you all the days, of my life.” He wiped the remaining tears to her, using his own finger and he smiled to her genuinely. Binigay niya naman ang mic kay Ate. Kinuha niya naman ito, at tsaka ngumiti sa kanya. Bagama't pinipigilan niyang umiyak.

She hold the mic tightly, and stare to Kuya Jolo. “I, Micaella Celestine Ramirez take you, Jonas Louise Pangilinan, to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold  from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness, and in health, till death do us part.” She get the other ring, and insert it to Kuya Jolo's finger. And stare to him again. “With this ring, as a symbol of my loved to you. Keep this as a memories and remembrance that I wil be yours forever.” she wiped again her tears.
