Chapter 23 Wedding

Chapter 23

Wedding

The dramatic archways catch my eyes as I wander around the wedding venue, an extravagant garden wedding I may say. My eyes darted to the aisle that minutes from now my cousin will walk on, along with the groomsmen and bridesmaid, along with me.

The ivory draping swaying at the archways are too splendid to watch. Napangiti ako nang makitang halos perpekto ang pagkakaayos ng kasalan na ito. The aisle lined with rounded floral arrangement above golden candelabras added a more stunning colors against the greenery scene.

The rose petals swirled along the edges of the aisle I think I'll be guilty if I walk on. Ang mga bisita ay nakaupo sa mga hilerang upuan sa gilid ng aisle at nagk'kwentuhan. Someone tap my shoulder lightly and I smile as I turn to her.

The coordinator motioned me to stay in my place as the ceremony is about to start. I walk slowly as I sway my baby pink tube style long dress, with every stepped showing my silver stiletto.

Nang makarating sa pila ng mga kasama sa entourage ay namataan ko na doon si Kyle. He was late. I frown when he turns to me and he just gave me his sheepish smile. He kissed my temple when I was already beside him.

"Sorry..." he mumbled.

I shrugged and narrowed my eyes. Natawa lang naman siya at umayos ng tayo. Ang mga magulang ko ay nakaupo na sa pwesto na para sa kanila. Nagkausap na sila ng mga pinsan ko kanina dahil nasa iisang kwarto lang naman kami sa hotel na pinag stay'an bago ang ceremony.

They talked about lot of stuff especially about our family. Ate Aisa and Kuya Giovanni were persistent on saying their apologies though I said it's done and they've really done nothing about what happened.

Unti unti ay napupuno ang mga nakahilera para sa abay. Makulit lang naman akong kinakausap ni Kyle kaya halos hindi ko na napansin ang paghihintay na makumpleto kami. I hooked my hands on Kyle when the ceremony finally started.

Kahit nakita ko na si Ate Aisa kanina ay nae excite padin akong makita siya ngayon. She looked so stunning with her gown and everything. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang mas kinakabahan pa ako sa kaniya.

My heart is pounding loudly blending with the music. I didn't get to see Damian walk as me and Kyle placed second to the last of the line. Nang oras na para kami ang lumakad ay hinawakan ni Kyle ang aking kamay na nakakapit sa braso niya.

I looked a him and he wink playfully at me. Napangiti nalang ako at napailing. The rose petals on the ground are dancing with the slight wind created by my dress. Nang makaharap na kami sa maraming tao ay dumoble ang kaba ko.

I really don't want to participate in this but Ate Aisa won't let me budge. Kahit anong sabi ko na aattend naman ako ay ayaw niya. She insisted that I should be one of her bridesmaids, at dahil kasal niya naman ay pumayag nalang ako.

My eyes darted to Damian at the end of the pathway. He looks dashing and for the first time since I saw him, he looked nervous. I can't help but smiled but it slowly faded when I saw the man standing next to him.

Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali, taon man ang lumipas, hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ang mukha niya. Javier stand there looking proud and snobbish, not even minding the groom that looks likes about to cry.

If he's there, he must be the best man. I blink as I find that my breath suddenly hitched. Nang mas makalapit ay lalong kumabog ang aking dibdib nang mapagtantong nakatuon ang matatalim niyang mata sa akin.

My palms became sweaty. And I feel like I can't hear anything beside my throbbing heart. I looked up at Kyle and saw him smiling gently at everyone. Nagtagal ang tingin ko sa kaniya kaya napababa siya ng tingin sa akin.
