"I’ve been dreaming of weddings and walking down the aisle with this man while people cheer and flowers are everywhere. But then now, when I go inside churches it reminds me of a pain in the heart. I blows the wounds in it and pours salt to every cut I have. Some time in the past or maybe it the near future, he will walk these halls. There’d be a red carpet will flowers and curtains flowing on the aisle. There would be sweet music and people would gather around. He’d be standing there, waiting. But its not me, its a different girl. A girl wearing a white dress, a dress I had been dreaming of wearing all these years. She’ll be walking down the aisle towards him, and he’ll take her hands. They’ll both exchange their vows will their audience cry tears of joy. They’d share a kiss. A kiss that would symbolize love they would share together. And there I would be in the shadows, lurking. Maybe under the curtains or behind the posts. When the preacher says, “Speak now or forever hold you peace.“ I would think about going out and speak my heart out. But then I know its wrong. So I’ll stay hidden and accept the fact that this is all I’d ever be. A girl watching and loving him from afar. I know I should not watch, but I want to see. I want to see if its real. And if its all too much, I would leave. I’ll be running off somewhere, crying. Wishing it were my hands he was holding. Wishing it was me in the white dress and not her. Sometimes, I wish he’d see me. See me hiding behind those curtains and when I run away, he’ll follow me. He’ll say, “Why didn’t you speak out? Why didn’t you stop me?” And then, I’d cry but I know it will never happen. Its just a dream, a wish I know will never happen. I am just the girl hiding behind the curtains of his wedding, wishing and praying she’d wake up from the nightmare she’s in. No I’ll never gonna be that girl. Oh tell me why does this have to hurt so bad? No, I’ll never gonna be the one. Oh tell me why does she have to be the girl in the white dress and not me.”
"So, yan bang dahilan mo kaya ka tumakas sa palasyo nyu Tamara?"
"Nope! Just one of the reasons why I escaped the palace. Blaire, pakiusap kapag kinontak ka ni Daddy don't tell him that I'm here ok!"
Inabot at binuksan nyang cellphone na nagri ring kanina pa. Ng makita kung sinong tumatawag kaagad na sinagot nya yun.
"Yes Tito Jovan, napatawag po kayo?"
"I know that my daughter is beside you so just act normal Blaire!!."
"Hmmm." Tanging nasagot nya at sinulyapan si Tamara na panay ang senyas sa kanya. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagkabalisa at pag aalala.
"Guard her for a while, danger coming Blaire so take good care of my daughter while she's far away from me."
"I will! Tito Jovan, thank you for trusting me."
" l hired her a professional bodyguard already, His name is Zylven Canox, a friend of mine recommended him. Blaire, please keep it as our secret cause Tamara might be angry and escape again if she finds out."
"I will, no worries Tito Jovan, I'll take full responsibility, for the safety of your daughter I promise."
"Good, thank you Blaire."
Napabuntong hininga ang kausap sa kabilang linya bago nagpaalam sa kanya. Sinulyapan nya ulit si Tamara na abalang nag aayos ng mga gamit nito, hindi nya alam kung saan na naman pupunta ang babaeng ito.
"Tamara, paalala ko lang sayo ha! Wala ka sa Thailand nasa Pilipinas ka, kaya sana dobleng pag iingat ang gawin mo dahil wala kang bodyguards dito, solong katawan mo kapag lumabas ka ng condo ko kaya umayos ka!"
"Yeah right! Stop nagging at me ok! I know what I'm doing, just give me some time to enjoy my life! Wag kang gumaya kay Daddy na lahat binabawal sakin. Please naman cousin, gusto kong enjoyin ang pananatili ko dito."
"Sige lang mag enjoy ka lang pero isa lang ang pakiusap ko sayo!"
Napahinto si Tamara sa ginagawa at napabaling ng tingin sa pinsan na nakapamewang habang taas ang isang kilay na seryosong nakatingin sa kanya.
"Kahit saan ka magpunta dapat ipaalam mo sakin, and one more thing Tamara stay away with crocodile. Do you understand?"
Napaisip sya dun sa crocodile, anubang pinagsasabi nitong pinsan nya ba't nakasali pang buwaya.
"Anong meron sa buwaya na dapat kong iwasan?"
"Men! Tamara, Stay away with them! Understand?"
"Oh! I get it... Of course I will, kaya nga ko nandito diba dahil umiwas ako sa Thailand crocodile, wala naman yatang pinagkaiba ang mga lalake dito at sa mga lalake doon, pare parehas lang naman silang lahat."
Pinagpatuloy na nyang pagliligpit ng kanyang mga gamit. Habang si Blaire naman ay napapailing na lang na lumabas ng silid ni Tamara.
'Another crazy war game coming.... Be ready my friend Zylven Canox, cause you'll be a warrior again.'
