Chapter Twenty Six - Time to Tie the Knots (Part Two)

Chapter 26 - (Part 2)

Nasa labas na siya ng simabahan and prayed to all the saints na sana ay hindi siya himatayin sa sobrang niyerbiyos. The doors were still closed at bubuksan lang daw iyon pag siya na ang papasok. The bridesmaids already went on at tapos na rin ang mga ninong at ninang. Siya nalang at ang kanyang ama ang nasa labas. Buti nalang hindi masyadong mainit ang panahon ngayon. It was just mild and windy.

Mas nakaka-niyerbyos pa ata ito kesa sa noong high school siya at dinidipensa ang investigatory project niya sa Science. This was different. This was far different from an Investigatory Project Defense Day. She didn’t know what to expect.

Sino kaya ang mga invited? She never saw the invitations list. Or the entourage for that matter. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang disenyo ng loob ng simabahan dahil blur ang lahat ng bintana. Pero atleast alam na niya ang motif. White and Gold. Ang ganda nga ng mga bridesmaid gowns. Kanya-kanyang disenyo kasi ang mga ito kaya nakakagandang tingnan. Para silang nasa fashion show.

She was already staring at the brass door, waiting for it to open any minute. Ano kaya ang itsura ni Greg? Mas gumwapo ba ito? Naka barong ba ito o tuxedo? How will he look at me when I walk in the isle? Please, Lord. Wag lang po akong matapilok.

“Are you ready, sweetheart?” Tanong ng papa niya sa kanya. It was the first time his father actually called her sweetheart after her mother died. Kahit papano ay napangiti siya despite of the nervousness she’s feeling.

“I hope I am.” Bulong niya. Tatanungin niya sana dito kung nag-smudge ba ang make-up niya ng biglang unti-unting bumukas ang dalawang pintuan ng simbahan. Kasabay niyon ang intro ng kanyang wedding song. Kinuha kaagad ng papa niya ang kanyang kamay.

(A/N: PLAY THE MUSIC!!! DALI!!!)

“I do swear, that I’ll always be there

I’d give anything, and everything

And I will always care

Through weakness and strength,

Happiness and sorrow,

For better for worst, I will love you

With every beat of my heart”
