E
The perfectly bloomed flowers were scattered inside the church and the song began to play as the flower girls started to walk down the aisle.
And then I saw HER.
Tatlong taon ko siyang hindi nakita.Tatlong taon akong nangulila sa kanya.
She walked down the aisle holding a huge and pretty bouquet. She smiled at everyone and when she's near me, I moved to my right so she wont see me then the
next thing I knew was staring at her again. She's thinner,her hair has grown. Her gown is perfect on her. It's a golden brown. Wala pa ding pinagbago. Siya
pa din yung Julie ko na kahit anong ipasuot mo sa kanya, ang ganda ganda pa din niya.
I sighed.
And after a minute, there was Dev finally taking her time walking towards the altar. Today's Dev's wedding day, Julie's bestfriend.Dev is pretty amazing. The
best betfriend for Julie. Na parang bestfriend ko na din. Sa kanya ko siya binilin when I left. Now, she's getting married to my best buddy, Will. Yep, our
bestfriends are getting married today that's why I'm here. Home, at last.I've been gone for awhile and I think it's time for me to be back, time to come out
from the cave. It's for me to move.
"You may kiss the bride," I suddenly heard the Priest. Nawala na naman pala ang isip ko sa nangyayari. And all of a sudden, everyone clapped as the newly wed
made their way out.
Few hours later, we were at the venue. I can truly say na pinaghandaan talaga ito ni Will.The place was perfect. Everyone's really happy and I stood there
with a wine in my hand watching everyone - listening to their messages for the newly wed.
"Dev," Julie started. Her voice was shaky. Dev held Julie's right hand and mouthed, "Dont cry." Julie nodded and pulled a smile on her face.
"I dont even know what to say or how to start this talk but umm, congratulations to the both of you. Stay inlove forever," Will smiled at Julie.
"Yun lang, wala na akong maisip," and then she laughed but tears started to fall from her face. Dev looked at Will and he stood up to hug Julie. I sighed.
"Im okay, toh naman!" Then she smiled at Will. "I just wanna say thank you for everything you both have done for me. Sana kahit kasal na kayo, andito pa din
kayo para sa akin," she chuckled. "Ikaw Will, pag hindi mo inalagaan tong bestfriend ko, sinasabi ko sayo babawiin ko siya sayo," and the crowd laughed.
"I kidd. I love you guys. Forever." Dev stood up and gave Julie a hug. A tight hug. And after a few seconds, Julie was saying something to the couple. Dev's
forehead creased and looked around and saw me. She smiled at me and then talked back to Julie and nodded.
I followed Julie's direction and saw her heading to the exit area.
...And it was my cue to move.
She's walking so fast as if she's running away; as if someone's chasing her.
"Julie," I called but she didnt looked back.
"Julie," I called again but its a little louder this time.
She stopped.
With all my strength, i asked, "Can I talk to you?"
