Chapter 25
Davina’s Pov:
“Wow, you look pretty….sister” tukso sa akin ni Hayley
nandito lang naman sa kwarto ko nag-aayos ang isang to kahit na meron naman siyang sarili na room.
“kahit kailan Talaga, clingy” asar ko din pa balik sa kanya.
“hahaha…ako clingy? I’m just cherishing the remaining hours na single pa ang maldita kung ate” sabi naman nito sabay tawa.
At dahil sa sinabi niya “See? Tama ako clingy” sabay tawa ko ng malakas.
“pasali naman diyan” sabay sabi ng tatlo ( caroline, katherina,elizabeth)
Agad ko naman silang tinignan at dahil sa naka-ayos na silang tatlo naiwasan ko ang magalit sa kanila, Mabuti naman at mababait sila ngayon.
Habang nagtatawanan at nag-aasaran kami biglang pumasok rin si Eloisa habang bumubuga eto ng usok dahil sa vape niya.
“Ano ba yan, eh tigil mo nga yan muna kasal ni ate eh” awat naman ni Hayley sa kanya
Hihitak pa sana siya pero pumasok din bigla si ate celeste at aurora kaya napa-tago eto ng vape sa bulsa niya, Mabuti nalang Talaga at meron siyang bulsa kundi na pagalitan na naman siya ni ate celeste.
Nilapitan muna ako ni ate at inayos ang damit ko sabay bigay niya sa akin ng matatamis na ngiti.
“Pa-alala sa lahat, please let’s do our best na mag behave later okay children?” seryoso at pabiro ni ate celeste na sabi.
Hindi namin sure kung matatawa kami or hindi.
“Hey old sister, alam ko hindi tayo okay, pero just wanna say congratulations po, have a happy married life you deserve it” aurora said sabay alis din sa harap ko.
Magpapasalamat pa sana ako, dahil kahit na hindi kami Talaga okay na appreciate ko Talaga siya simula ng puntahan nila ako sa Bukidnon.
Aalis na sana sabay-sabay silang lahat para makapag-ayos na ako ng maayos when suddenly ate saw Elizabeth our bunso wearing a ring at nakalagay pa Talaga sa ring finger.
Nilapitan niya eto at tinignan ang singsing niya, halata kai bunso na kinakabahan eto
“Anong ibig sabihin nito?” tanong ni ate.
Inayos niya muna ang sarili niya bago sumagot “ wala po, ano lang to a fashion, alam mo naman ate I`m a model.”
Well, tama nga naman baka mali lang kami, lalo na sa panahon ngayon madaming trending na style kaya tumango nalang si ate to tell her na she agreed.
“Sige na let`s go, the wedding is about to start, Davina?” ate said and before leaving she made sure na I am okay na, kaya tumango nalang ako for her to know na oo.
At naiwan na nga ako mag-isa, ilang minuto nalang magsisimula na ang kasal at kinakabahan ako ng sobra pero at the same time walang kalagyan ang saya ng puso ko.
Finally, I am getting married. Never I imagined na makakasal ako, I gave up on love, but she came and proved that I deserve to be loved, also nalaman ko na I am capable of smiling even in pain, thanks to my wife.
The huge bell rings and that is the sign na the wedding is starting.
“oh okay…one…two…three…Davina relax, you will see your wife real soon” I said to myself habang kina-kalma ko ang sarili ko.
One by one, people were walking down the aisle, and I couldn`t wait, na hintayin ang asawa ko sa altar, to finally spend our whole life together.
Isa-isa ng naglalakad ang mga kapatid ko sa aisle that only means one thing after ate celeste.
It is now my turn.
I had walked on red carpets many times, but I never felt this way, this feels different, this time it feels home.
It is now maria turn to walk kaya mas lalo akong kinakabahan sa saya because after her is my wife.
Before jasmine walked papunta sa akin a beautiful music started playing at dahil doon mas naging emotional pa ako.
Two…three….
(You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment, as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment, I will love you
As long as I live, from this moment on)
As my wife walked toward me while the song was playing, I kept on smiling. I thought iiyak ako, but when she finally walked papunta sa akin, all I felt is love, a love that is overflowing and will keep on flowing even if I die.
I will forever love jasmine. I will always cherish her, and every day, I will always make her feel my love.
“So ano titignan mo lang ako? Hawakan mo kaya kamay ko” she said habang naka-ngiti
At dahil doon ng tawanan ang mga kaibigan, pamilya namin.
“Sorry…ang ganda mo kasi at ang sarap mong mahalin” I uttered sabay kuha ng kamay niya.
At sabay kaming dalawa na humarap sa altar, feeling all the love we have for each other, feeling all the love that our family is giving, feeling all the love around us.
And finally, it is her turn to say her vows.
“Galingan mo” sabi ko sa kanya sabay kindat ng mata ko
Natawa nalang ang asawa ko sa ginawa ko, damn she has the beautiful smile in my entire universe.
“ honestly hindi ako gumawa or ng sulat ng sasabihin saiyo, dahil wala akong mabuo na words or salita, words will never be enough to tell you how much I love you, words will never be enough to let you know na kahit ano man ang pagdada-anan pa natin lagi lang ako nandito, hinding-hindi kita iiwan, before I dream na kung ano kaya ang pakiramdam maging isa sa pamilya niyo , maging isang Marshall but never did I imagine na mamahalin at papakasalan ko ang isa sa kanila. Davina Marshall, I promise to make you happy, make you laugh everyday hanggat kaya ko kahit na mag mukha pa akong clown okay lang, kung ang price naman na makukuha ko ay makita ang mga ngiti mo sapat na sapat na iyon, I promise to love you always and forever, mahal na mahal po kita”
After she said her vow, kahit alam ko na bawal, nilapit ko agad ang mukha ko sa kanya para halikan siya.
Then the crowd and the priest stop me at dahil sa ginawa ko napatawa ko na naman ang buong crowd who is now witnessing our love story.
And most of all napatawa ko ang mahal ko.
Now it is my turn to say mine…
Before I started talking huminga muna ako ng malalim at hindi ko namalayan nasa akin na pala ang mic, kaya another laughters echoes in our beautiful wedding.
“So…just like you my love, wala din ako dala na papel, I tried…I really tried writing down my feelings kagabie but everytime I put my pen sa papel wala akong naisusulat then I realize why? That is because, Jasmine you deserve a love na hindi lang puro pangako, you deserve a love na hind lang ngayong araw na eto pinapa-ramdam, You deserve a love na palagi, palagi saiyo pina-padama, You deserve a love that is more than love for short mamahalin kita araw-araw at araw-araw hindi ko eh papadama saiyo na hindi ka sapat dahil my love, ikaw lang sapat na, yes I may have all the money, fame in this world but when you came into my life doon lang ako nabuhay, when you came inilagay mo ulit ang mga ngiti sa labi ko, when you came doon ko nadama ang tunay na kayaman at yun ang pagmamahal mo, so jasmine mahal ko, mamahalin kita hanggang sa kabilang buhay, I love you so much Jasmine Dela Cerna Marshall”
After I said those words napuno ng luha ang mata ng asawa ko, a tears full of love.
And finally, we heard the word na pinakahihintay namin
“I now pronounce you wife and wife, you may now kiss,” the priest said
Excitedly hinawakan ko agad ang mukha ng asawa ko and finally officially kiss her as my wife.
While we shared a perfect, beautiful kiss, the crowd stood up and clapped their hands and cheered for us.
“Woahh….woah… mabuhay ang bagong kasal!” sigaw ng mga kapatid ko.
We looked at them all at sabay turo sa wedding ring namin.
---
And here we are dancing, finally we are now officially married at hindi na nagpapanggap lang.
Habang ang lahat ay nag-sasayawan at nag-sasaya agad kaming tumakas ng asawa ko para pumunta sa harap ng dagat to witness the beautiful sunset na lagi namin pinagsasaluhan.
The only difference now is finally, she is officially my wife.
Naka-upo kami ngayon sa sand habang magka-hawak kamay she put her head sa balikat ko and that made me so happy.
“Love? “She said
Agad naman ako sumagot sa kanya “ano yun mahal ko?”
Habang nakatingin parin kami sa papalubog na araw
“Ang ganda ng sunset noh? Mapapasabi ka nalang na I AM LOVING THE SUNDOWN” my wife, jasmine said
At dahil sa sinabi niya napatawa ako ng malakas and I uttered “Wrong grammar ka ata mahal ko?”
At dahil sa sinabi ko, inalis niya ang ulo niya sa balikat ko at tinignan ako ng masama.
“Anong sabi mo, mali ako?” mataray na sabi ng asawa ko
Kaya pinisil ko ang cheeks niya and I said habang nakatingin sa papalubog na araw
“LOVE THE SUNDOWN, IT IS”
----THE END---
