Ethereal Haven

Epilogue

"Zachy! You done?" bungad ni Ate nang buksan niya ang pinto ng kwarto ko

"ooohhh" she said while nodding as she slowly entered my room, I was fixing my sleeves when she opened the door, nilingon ko siya and she slowly approached me to fix my collar. I'm wearing a navy blue button down polo tucked in a black slacks, I also put a brown leather belt on and I'm wearing my silver watch.

"i was just wondering" she said after fixing my collar, tinignan ko siya at hinintay ang susunod niyang sasabihin.

"when will you get married? You keep on attending someone else' wedding" she continued then she let out a small laugh

It's been two weeks since Alazne and I went on a date, she just said that I'm so cute while pinching my cheeks when I told her that we will have a daughter after changing her surname

"soonest" I said then I winked at my sister "shall we go then?" pag-aaya ko

Mag-aattend kami ng kasal ng pinsan namin, mas matanda siya sakin ng dalawang taon. Si Alazne naman may flight ngayon at sa isang araw pa ang balik niya

Pagdating namin sa simbahan ay binati kami ng mga relatives namin, sakto namang dumating na rin ang groom.

"Zach! Buti naka-attend ka" sabi ni Kuya Ace, yung groom

"sumakto sa schedule ko e. By the way, Congrats!" bati ko saka ako naki-apir at yumakap

"thank you! Ikaw naman na sunod!" sabi niya at saka tinapik ang likod ko

"hoy Ace! How true na ikakasal ka na?" pang-aasar ni Ate saka niya hinampas ang braso ni Kuya Ace, magka-edad sila ni Ate Zeph that's why they're too friendly with each other

"how true rin na hanggang ngayon alaws ka pa jowa?" Kuya Ace fired back before chuckling

"swerte mo nasa simbahan tayo, bugok!" sabi ni Ate saka niya inambahan ng suntok si Kuya Ace, napailing nalang ako sakanilang dalawa. Kuya Ace excused himself after his name was called by the wedding coordinator. Umupo na rin kami ni Ate.

"kailan din kaya tayo magho-host ng ganitong celebration?" tanong ni Mom pagkaupo namin, pasimple kaming nagkatinginan ni Ate

"di naman sa nagmamadali kami ng Mom niyo, but we're not getting any younger. Gusto rin namin makita mga apo namin" sabi naman ni Dad

"may apo ka naman na, Dad. You have Berry, my daughter" pagbibiro ni Ate, Berry is her chow-chow.

Natawa sila Mom and Dad because of that, then some made an announcement that the bride has arrived so the ceremony started

Isa isang pumasok ang mga bearers followed by the flower girls, the kids are so cute with their little tuxedo and dress on. Pagtapos makapasok lahat ng abay ay nagsitayuan kaming lahat to welcome the beautiful bride.

We were all clapping as the bride slowly walked down the isle, while they are all focused on the bride, I looked at my cousin who is now wiping his tears as he watched his bride walk towards him.

Napaisip tuloy ako, lahat ba ng groom required umiyak during the ceremony? Jarius said that Ian also cried when he watched Bea walking down the isle. Well they said that you'll just know what it feels when you're in that situation.

The ceremony makes me think of Alazne, I wanna see her now. After ng ceremony deretso na kami sa reception

"Alfred! It's been a while" bati ni Mr. Samson, business partner ni Dad
