Wedding Day
Kinakabahan ako.
Sino ba naman kasing hinde.
Yung bagay na hindi ko inasahang mangyayari, yung bagay na akala ko hanggang panaginip na lang ay nasa harap ko na.
"Handa ka na ba 'nak?" tanong sa akin ni Mama. I smiled at her nervously. I stared at my nervous self in the mirror. We are just waiting for the make-up artist to come. Lumabas si mama sa room at napasandal ako sa kinauupuan ko.
Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. If I have a time machine and I comeback to tell myself 6 years ago that me and Drix would still be married I would have not believed it. This is like a fairy tale, really.
Against all odds, he actually came back for me. He turned his back to his family and chased after me. I must admit though, nahirapan akong tanggapin s'ya. Dahil sa loob nang 4 na taon madami ang pwedeng nangyari at tao din sya, nagbabago.
But not Drix.
When it finally set in my mind that he's back and he's back to get me, I know he would succeed. Gusto ko lang nang assurance kaya sinabi ko sa kanya na we will take things one step at a time. Hindi din nagtagal ang panliligaw n'ya dahil after 3 months ay sinagot ko na s'ya. I will be stupid If I said no. Hindi dahil isang malaking catch ang isang Drix Clark Tuazon, it's because deep inside I knwo he will not stop. Ever since we were young he got a knack on claiming things as his own, I'm not an exception.
Hahabulin pa rin ako nun.
I blushed with that thought. It's nice to know that there is somebody out there ready to chase after you, someone who is ready to move heaven and earth just to be with you. Sometimes this makes me wonder what I have. Kung ano nga ba ang nagustuhan nya sa akin. Whenever I ask him, he just shrugs and kiss my cheek.
"Ma'am?" nagulat ako sa tanong ni Betty, ang make-up artist na hinire ni ate Cindy.
I smiled back. "Come in."
Lumapit s'ya sa akin at sinet-up and make-up set nya sa likod ko while I wait patiently starring at my bare face in the mirror.
"Ay ma'am ang ganda nyo namang bride" bati sa akin ni Betty. I blushed at her compliment. "Syempre natural make up lang ma'am. Hindi nyo na kailangan nang ano pa man." she smiled. I smiled back. I've never been a fan of heavy make-up anyway.
May kumatok ulit sa pintuan. "Come in" I said louder this time. I can hear the buzzing outside. It's probably my mum and my Titas fussing outside. The door cracked open and a tall skinny guy with square glasses comes in with a professional camera.
"We'll just take a couple of shots" he said with a smile.
"Go ahead Felix" I replied.
I feel like a princess being pampered. Parang ang ganda-ganda ko that someone is taking a picture of my every move.
I felt my cheeks heat up, but my trance was broken when I heard a commotion outside.
"Yes Drix, nasa loob si Lliane" narinig kong sabi ni mama. I missed some words at that's all I can make out.
"I just want to make sure" How can I not recognise that voice? I bet he's being stubborn again.
"Oo anak, pero bawal pang makita ang Bride!"
"Mum--"
"Wala. Dun ka na."
I giggled. It always gets me whenever Drix calls my mum, well, mum. The first time I heard him call her mum was when we announced our engagement. Since he's still not in good terms with his family, sa parents ko lang kami humingi nang permission.
Everyone was excited that Ate Cindy went home to the Philippines just to congratulate us, together with her 3 year old son Aeson.
"Ayan ma'am Lliane, tapos na" sabi ni Betty habang tinitignan ang mukha kong mabuti, checking and making sure she did the make-up correctly. "Ang gandang mukha." then she laughed.
Rossi perked up from her phone"Sana nandyan na si Maxine para maayos na yung hair mo. Chicheck ko lang sa labas ah?"
Lumapit si Rossi sa may pintuan ang peeked her head outside the room, she gestured with her hands for someone to come in. Rossi opened the door wider for Maxine to enter and for Betty to leave. I never actually met her but are Cindy assured me that she's one of the best.
Then comes a small girl with tan skin. I think she's the most beautiful creature this world has ever seen. It's such a privilege to meet her. I know it' supposed to be my wedding but she is the most beautiful person in this room. (sorry na ate Jay, bahahah). Karay-karay nya ang isang bag with a hairspray can sticking out of it.
She smiled as she approached me.
"Ma'am wala po kayong dapat ipagalala. Alam ko po ang ginagawa ko."
"Why are you telling me that."
"Wala po kayong dapat ipag alala." She repeated. Napatingin naman ako kay Betty at natawa s'ya. Saktong pumasok si mum.
Sinimulan nya na ang pagaayos nang buhok under my mum's watchful eyes. Nang matapos, I think she did a good job.
Nasa low bun ang buhok ko with some strands loose and curled. She finished off with spraying my hair with hairspray and she stepped back letting my mum examine her work. Once my mum nodded her approval, Maxine fixed her stuff and left.
"Miss, tingin po kayo dito" tawag sa amin ni Felix. Tumingin kami ni mum sa kanya and we heard a series of clicks.
Tumayo ako and they led me to the room in front. The room brought back memories from a long time ago. We decided to have a beach wedding. And yes, sa bataan namin gagawin. The same beach where we found refuge, when the world was against us.
In the middle of the room is the dress. It's a simple wedding dress dahil sa beach gaganapin. I dont want a heavy and glitzy one. Simple lang din kasi ang kasal, wala masyadong invited. Drix insisted to have a big wedding, but I reasoned with him.
Felix asked me to come closer to the dress. Instinctly I touched it. Napansin ata ni mum na maluha-luha ako.
"Huwag kang iiyak nako" which made me smile. She's acting tough again, probably dahil kagaya ko ay maiiyak na din s'ya.
Lumabas muna si Felix while Rossi and mum help me get the dress on. Once finished ay sabay kaming napaluha ni mama.
"Sabi nang 'wag iiyak eh" Instead of answering, I gave her a hug. I heard the door open once again and flashes of lights follow suit.
It's almost a re-run of our engagement.
His company made my shop a franchise, straight away once we settled everything. So it was not unusual for him to make surprise visit every now and again.
That is until one afternoon. I'm about to close the shop when a child barged in, panic in his eyes.
"Baby what's wrong" I asked sincerely.
Instead of answering she just pointed outside. My eyes grew wild as I saw the commotion outside. My heart rate picked up pace as I recognice the matte black car that is in shambles outside.
On lookers look at the carnage, blocking me to see the whole incident. I rushed outside, not caring about my apron or the table I knocked down out of panic. I just wanted to see that he is okay. Better yet, I wished that I was wrong that it's not his car.
"Coming through, coming through!" I yelled as I pushed my way.
My heart shattered as I saw Drix laying on the ground, face down and not moving. I ran towards him and kneeled net to him but didnt dare to touch. I was woried that i might make his situation worst.
I heard him gruntle something. I moved closer so I can here him clearer.
"Love? What was that?"
"Flihhgd mhiu ovhuur"
"I'm sorry I can't understand you" I asked as my voice wavered from panic. Surely the ambulance is not far away from here.
"Flip me over"
"What? No!"
"Just do it."
"No! What if your neck is broken. I'm gonna make it worse! Just hang in there love"
"Love. Trust me"
"Not this time. You're not a doctor"
"Oh my God Lliane just do it!" He hissed.
"Fine Shia if that's what you want." With all my forced I flipped him over. Using his left arm he is holding a small paper with the magic words (you know).
This prompt the on lookers to clap and cheer. I looked at him in disbelief.
"So?" He asked as he sit up and took the ring from his pocket
"Anong so?" He looked scared as I blew my head off. "Tae ka. Sa dinami dami nang kacornihan na pwede mong gawin ito pa talaga naisip mong gawin? Ha? Ha? Proud ka pa nyan sa sarili mo! Sira ulo ka. Yung kotse mo winarak mo para dito?! Gago ka ba?"
The crowd stop cheering and the atmosphere turned awkward.
"D-does that mean that's a no?" He asked, his eyes sad. And the cheeky grin plastered on his face was quickly erased by a frown.
"Yes I will marry you but Jesus Christ, you dont have to do this. Paano kung inatake ako sa puso? Ano na? Edi libing na ang icecelebrate mo?!" Sabi ko at pinalo s'ya sa braso.
"Mum help me!" He said looking behind me. I looked at where he us staring and I saw my parents watching us, even taking a video.
"You're in on this?!" They just shrugged and let out a laugh.
"SHE SAID YES" a voice said and she cheered. I recognised Rossi's face and tears run down my cheeks. The crowd starts to cheer again.
"Wait, you're happier to see her than me? Tss."
I smiled after that small flashback.
"Hala dalian n'yo baliw na si lliane" Rossi said as she left with the other Bridesmaid.
I took a deep breath.
This is it.
I made my way out of the room and eventually out of the cottage. I saw my dad's waiting arm and I took it.
I looked forward, donning a grey tuxedo is Drix. Stunning as ever. I smiled and he gave me a wave.
Drix
"Hala ka Drix, wala na si Lliane" Cindy nundge me on the side. I would've pushed her but she's holding Aeson my best man.
I held my breath when i saw the door from the cottage crack open.
I chocked back tears when I saw her take Dad's arm as he lead her down the steps of the cottage. I need to fucking man up.
She looked up at me and she smiled. I was awed by her expression that Cindy had to nudge me again. I awkwardly put my left hand up waving at her.
She laughed so I glared at her.
The simple dress the Lliane wore hugged figure and I couldn't help but looked at the sky thaking God for letting me have her as my wife.
They slowly made their way towards us, I saw mum crying and Lliane's tita consoling her. I know how she feels, it's hard to lose Lliane.
Our gazes fixed and we smiled at each other. I can hear Rossi, fan girling and hit the guy next to her on the arm. At least that's what I think, all I can think of right now is Lliane.
I have to lock my knees so I can still stand up properly when she and dad stood before me. I can tell that both of them are crying, especially dad when he put Lliane's hand on mine.
"Take care of her. Makulit yan. Walang solian ah" he laughed which made me smile.
I looked at Lliane and led her to the priest.
I guess this is it, she will be with me. I can't guarantee that there will be no more problems, this ain't a fucking fairytale. Shit will happen and we will sort it out together.
The priest began the celebration, I looked at her smiling face I realised how much of a lucky bastard I am.
She broke me, picked up the pieces and put it back together again. Only now, the pieces fit better. The pain I've been holding on for so long is now gone and...
Broken forever.
The End.
