CHAPTER 14:

[Chapter Song: You never walked alone by BTS]

Yzien's POV:

The sunny sun outside and the blue skies, a perfect day for my special day. I can hear the wedding bells, feel the love and happiness. This place filled with roses, her favorite flower. I can see the happiness on their face as I walk. My eyes become teary when they finally open the door for her, my bride, my lovely and beautiful bride.

"I'm proud of you." My father's murmured as he smile at me while waiting for my bride.

She walk down the aisle with tears in her eyes, maybe because she's too happy and nervous.

"Now: Yzien Dale Venusio, do you take Amaya Roles as your wife? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others, and holding only unto her forevermore?" I smiled before answering the priest. I look at her face but she kept her head down, she maybe nervous.

"Yes Father, I do." She looked at me with the tears in her eyes. "I do."

"And you Amaya Roles, do you take Yzien Dale Venusio as your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others, and holding only unto him forevermore?" My heart starting to beat faster as I stare at her and waiting for answer.

I hold her hand and smiled, tears began to flow in her cheeks. Seconds had past but she didn't answer.

"I repeat. Amaya Roles, do you take Yzien Dale Venusio as your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others, and holding only unto him forevermore?"

Ang kamay kong mahigpit na nakakapit sa kanya ay unti unti nyang inalis habang patuloy ang pagiyak nya.

"I-I'm s-sorry." Inalis nya ang belo na nakasabit sa ulo nya at tumakbo. Iniwan akong nagiisa sa altar, magisa at naguguluhan.

I'm about to chase her when I hear my sister shout. "KUYA SI PAPA!! KUYA HINDI MAKAHINGA SI PAPA!!"

"We did our best to save him but his heart is too weak. I'm sorry, time of death 4:12pm." My world suddenly crushed, my system stopped as I hear those words, begging that all these things are just a dream, a nightmare.

"How can you do this to me amaya!?"

"Dale let me explain--"

"EXPLAIN WHAT!? Tangina naman Amaya mahal na mahal kita e, bakit? Paano? Sa bahay ko pa!? Sa bahay pa nating dalwa!?"

"Brad--" bago pa sya makapagsalita ay binigyan ko sya ng suntok.

"Wag kayong lumapit, nakakadiri kayo. Nandidiri ako sa inyo."

"Dale please don't do this to me--" she cried and held my hand. Napasabunot ako sa sa sarili ko, hindi ko kayang tingnan sya ng ganito. Wala akong ginawa kundi respetuhin at protektahan sya kaya hindi ko kayang makitang nakabalot lamang sya ng kumot sa harap ko.

Tangina, alam na alam nya kung paano palalambutin ang puso ko. Isang iyak, isang hawak sa kamay, isang pakiusap.

"Patay na si papa." Nabitawan nya ang kamay ko at napaupo sa sahig. Tumalikod ako sa kanya para hindi ko makita ang luha sa mga mata nya at luha sa mga mata ko.

"Heart attack after you run and leave me at that altar. Now tell me, how can you explain this to me? Namatay yung tatay ko habang ikaw nagpapaligaya. Hindi na kita kayang makita."
