The Place I Really Belong (When He Realized Series 1)

CHAPTER 17

Let's make it real

Lucas and I both decided to have a morning wedding so I woke up early and did the things I needed to do before they start doing my hair and make-up.

I was taken aback when my favorite breakfast, bouquet of my favorite flowers, a handwritten letter and a gift from him were delivered to my room.

I know that we'll be having an exchange gift that's why I prepared one for him too. I don't know what to give him at first since he already had everything, I think. That's why I just decided to paint him. I borrowed his phone so I can look for pictures I can paint and there, I saw his picture with his Exelero nung bagong bili pa yata. I immediately took a picture of it para gawing gayahan ko. I also made a mini painting of us. I used the picture we had on our engagement announcement. I just added a handwritten letter for him there to explain why I gave him those.

I opened his gift and it is a Polaroid camera with lots of films! I smiled widely when it's not jewelry just like the usual gift of a groom to his bride. I remember that he given me a letter so I read it.

'Hey my Alessia. My baby.

I don't want to give you more jewelry so I bought you this Polaroid camera that I know you always wanted. I saw you looking at this in some online shops and whenever we're going to the mall. I want you to remember that I gave this camera to you as a gift not only because you want it, but to let you know that I want to see you exploring things and your creativity. I want you to express yourself more by your subjects and I want us to capture our moments together with this, baby. I'm excited to see you in your dress, my baby'

My jaw dropped after I read his letter. What the fudge?! Why does he have to be like this to me? Alam kong hulog na ako pero mukhang may mas ihuhulog pa nga talaga ako. At wala akong idea kung sasaluhin ba niya ako o sasabay siyang mahulog o baka naman itinutulak niya lang ako at titignan lang na lumagapak ako.

I finished my breakfast and all the things I had to do just on time. This time, I'm already having my hair and make-up. My families and friends are visiting me here in my room and even Lucas' relatives and friends are going here just to congratulate me and asked how I was doing. I can also see the happiness and excitement on everyone's faces.

The photographer and videographer are taking shots and videos of us to capture every moments and I could say that I became excited as well when everything sinks in to me. I am getting married! I disregarded the truth for a while and had a talk to myself. I shouldn't ruin this day. I should be happy just like how everyone is.

After a long time of doing my hair and make-up, I am now wearing my dress and they even made me wear a really high heels dahil magaan lang naman daw yung damit ko. Talagang kulang na lang isampal nila sa akin na ang pandak ko.

When I'm all set, I go out to have our photoshoot. Lucas and I never had a pre wedding photoshoot and will never have a first look. After wedding na lang daw

During the shoot with my families and friends, I had a video call with Eloah. Everything went smoothly and I can't believe that now, they are retouching my look because in no time I have to be on my bridal car.

I could say that I am feeling nervous, excited, happy and worried at the same time. So this is the feeling of getting married?..... I chuckled to myself because of the thought. I bet the feelings would be beyond ecstatic when this is real.

For the past months that I am living with him, my feelings grow while I don't have a slightest idea how he really feels about me. I never have the courage to ask him about his actions towards me because I'm scared. Scared that I will be dissapointed and hurt by his answers
