He, She and Another He

Final

"Sometimes all you need is a second chance, because time wasn't ready for the first one."

"It hurts to let go, but sometimes it hurts more to hold on."

"Amethyst and Zadkiel, today you enter as individuals, but you will leave here as husband and wife, blending your lives, expanding your family ties, and embarking upon the grandest adventure of human interaction. The story of your life together is still yours to write. All those present have come to witness and celebrate your love and commitment this day. Eager to be a part of the story not yet told."

Lahat ng tao na makikita mo sa loob ng simbahan, ay masaya para sa kanila. Para sa dalawang taong magsusumpaan ngayong araw.

"Ultimately there comes a moment when a decision must be made. Two people who love each other must ask themselves how much they hope for as their love grows and deepens, and how much risk they are willing to take. Commitment may well be a fearful gamble. Because it is the nature of love to create, a marriage itself is something which has to be created, such that as we come together in marriage, we become a new creature."

Vows. Oras na kung kailan mo maririnig lahat ng pinagdaanan nilang dalawa. Lahat ng masasakit at masasayang nangyari na nagdala sa kanilang dalawa sa kinatatayuan nila ngayon. Unang nagsalita si Amethyst.

"Hi, grabe! Kinakabahan ako! Alam mo ba di ko inakala na dito pala sa harap ni Lord ang bagsak natin. Na sabay pala tayong susumpa ng forever sa harap Niya. Akala ko hanggang imagination lang ako eh. I was so inlove with you, when we were young. 3 years! 3 years of loving you, bago mo ako mapansin. Ang manhid mo lang. And I was so close to giving up, then you told me that you love me. Di ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako o ano. Ang tagal kong hinintay na sabihin mo yun eh. But, I was broken, I was tired, I was scared. Kaya sinabi ko sayo, magpapagaling lang ako. Kapag gumaling na at lumakas na ulit yung puso ko, we will start our new chapter. And you waited for me. I'm very thankful that you waited for me to heal all those wounds. And 5 years ago I gave you my heart again. And here we are promising forever. Alam mo na yung mga kamalian ko, and you still love me. I will not promise to be the perfect wife but I will promise you that, I will love you, forever."

Tears escaped her eyes. Ang tagal nyang hinintay dumating ang araw na to.

"Sana ako pa rin. Yan yung mga salitang nasa isip ko nung naramdaman kong nawawala na yung mga asar ng mga kaibigan at kaklase mo sa atin. Na sana hindi pa ako late kasi na realize ko na mahal na pala kita. Alam kong makapal ang mukha ko pero I admit I almost give up. Ikaw kasi yung tipo ng babae na kinatotorpehan, ang taas mo kasi. In a good way. You came from a very tight bonded family. I was afraid that I don't deserve your love because you're too good for me. Feeling ko hindi kita deserve because I was a mess. Then there was this boy, classmate mo siya. Pinarealize niya sa akin kung gano kita kamahal. I was so jealous of him. Akala ko gusto mo siya. Kaya kinausap kita, ayoko kasi na marealize mong mas may better sa akin. Call me selfish but I just want you for myself. He gave up. Kasi alam nyang mahal mo ako. Kasi alam nyang mas sasaya ka sa akin. At hinangaan ko sya sa ginawa nyang yun, kasi yun ang give up ka ang hindi ko makakayang gawin. Unless na lang kung sabhin mo. Yun naman ang pagkakaparehas namin, kaya kong gawin kahit ano basta sumaya ka lang. Kahit ako pa yung masktan. Hindi ko mapapangako na hindi kita mapapaiyak sa byahe natin papuntang habang-buhay pero ang maipapangako ko sa 'yo ay sa oras na umiyak ka ako at ako lang din ang pupunas ng luha mo. I will always be by your side. I love you, forever and always."

Then there he is. Seatiel. Nasa pinakalikuran ng simbahan. He is happy and still broken. Ano bang meron si Amethyst na wala sa ibang bababe? Hindi niya din alam eh. Ang alam lang niya mahal pa rin niya itong babaeng sumusumpa sa harap ng Diyos kasama nag taong mahal niya. Pinipilit niyang maging proud sa sarili niya dahil hindi naman nasayang ang pagpaparaya niya e.

Pero paano kaya kung hindi siya nagparaya no? Pano kaya kung nagtapat din siya kay Amethyst? Pwede kayang siya ang kaharap ngayon ni Amethyst sa altar? Pero hindi eh, hindi niya pinaglaban.

Goodbye my almost lover.

"And by the power invested in me, I now present to all of you, Mr and Mrs Cruz. You may now kiss the bride."

They kissed, they shared a kiss with full of love. I saw how happy they are. Maybe it is really the time I should let go.

Goodbye my hopeless dream.
