Marriage, a wedding dress, a couple's ring, and the beautiful sound of bells-those are some of the particles in women's dreams. But the vow between the couples is the sweetest of all.
I was walking in the aisle, smiling and trying not to cry kasi yung make up, at baka maging zombie na ko when the groom would lift the veil. Habang nakatayo ang soon-to-be husband ko sa harap ng altar, ako nama'y nanginginig at kinakabahan, thinking I would mess things up. But when he takes my hand and massages it, I know I'll never regret it.
Such wonderful memories that I always keep-they start to crack day by day. "Baby, no need to worry about her, now that binigay na ni Dad ang company at yaman na, I could easily break that marriage of mine. Tamang tama lang na nagpakasal kami sa bansa kung san siya lumaki, madaling madali lang mag divorce dun." tawang tawa na sabi ng mabuti kong asawa, masakit nung una kong nalaman ang baho niya but nasanay na ko. and i can't even have my own decision na putulin na when my father knows about it, mas minabuti pa niyang patahimikin ako at mag bulagbulagan para sa minamahal niyang kompanya na siya namang patumba na.
"Can you just sit there like a doll, like i told you to, and wag nang umimik pa. Be a good girl and daughter for this father of yours. Kung hindi, alam mo na ang mangyayare sa puntod ng pinkamamahal mong ina, you want to see her, right? Then do what I want. " that's what my good father said to me.
Ang kapal ng mukha right? Pero wala akong magagawa, kundi magmaangmaangan sa lahat. Like nothing happened, like i heard nothing. Pero matigas ang ulo ko. And when someone told me wht to do, i do the other way around. at kung sa akala nila, ang mabuting kung asawa lang ang makakagawa ng ganun? Like they said, cheating is not a mistake but a choice, and i choose to do it for my own satisfaction. and kunti na lang makukuha ko na rin ang huling halakhak.
