The BEST man (ONE SHOT)

WEDDING DAY

"So anak, this is it! you'll never be our princess anymore. You'll be his queen now." sabi ni mama sakin ng makarating na ki sa simbahan.

Kasalukuyan kaming nasa loob ng bridal car, habang inaasikaso ng wedding organizer ang lahat ng mga kailangan sa loob.

"Ma, Pa, thank you for everything..alam ko naging pasaway akong anak pero paulit ulit nparin akong binigyan ng chance. This time, I'll be responsible enough for my own family." hindi ako sanay mag sabi ng mga ganito sa mga magulang ko.

In every family nga diba my black sheep, in our family ako yun. Pero iniwan ka na ng lahat, pamilya parin ang di iiwan sayo.

From this day onward, I'll be having my own family.

At the age of 24, I'm marrying my Long Distance boyfriend for 2 years.

For me it doesn't matter how long you've been together. As long as you're happy, comfortable and contented with each other.

"Anak, be a good mother to your children and a responsible, loving and understanding wife to your husband. Just like your mom, key?" maluha luhang bilin ni papa sakin.

"I will pa.." and I hugged him in return. Ayaw kong mag drama pero yung feg na, kinakabahan ka, naeexcite ka, natatakot ka, na masaya ka, na mamimiss mo sila. Mixed emotions kumbaga. Na ang alam mo lang gawin ay umiyak para mailabas ang nalilito mong emosyon.

The moment was interrupted when -- knock knock -- Jerry, one of the wedding organizer said "Everything is set, we'll start in 5 minutes" then left.

"Ay, ano ba yan anak, wag ka ngang umiyak dyan. 5 minutes from now, mag sisimula na ang kasal mo! hay nako magpa retouch ka na nga" pag putol din ni mama sa moment kaya pati si papa napa punas nalang ng luha.

Lumabas na sila ng bridal car at bago isara ni p ang pinto "Anak, yung sipon mo oh! punasan mo, mahiya ka naman HAHAHA"

Natawa ako sa ka kengkoyan ng papa ko. He always jokes around to hide his true emotion. I know ayaw niya pang magpakasal ako.

I'm just 24 years young, madami pa daw akong magagawa sa buhay as a single mom.

I have a son, I got pregnant at the age of 19. Enzo is now in his 5 years of existencethis world. He grew up without a father but he has my papa, my brother, his ninongs, and now my husband -- his soon to be dad.

Hindi lahat ng disgrasyada bitter ang ending. My mom used to say "walang siseryoso sayo, lalo na sa panahon natin ngayon kasi disgrasyada ka na. Mga lalake dyan titikman ka lang, kaya wag kang bibigay agad"

I know she's only protecting me from falling into someone who will just only take advantage of me.

Mom's knows BEST.

And now here I am with the guy who is being true to me. Who loved me for who and what I am. He accepted my past and now wants to spend his lifetime with me.

"Let's go" sabi ni Jerry pagkatapos kong ire-touch at tinulungan niya ako sa pag labas.

Butterflies in my stomach was felt as I stood in front of the door. Mas lalong lumaka ka dibdib ko ng mag simula ng maglakad ang mga parte ng entourage.

Habang naka angkla ang kanang kamo kay papa, hawak ko ang aking bouquet.

Nakahawak naman sakin si mama na nakatayo sa aking kaliwa.

Habang hinahatid nila papunta ng altar, saktong sakto ang music na Runaway by The Corrs.

I want to runaway, with him.
