"I love you Mrs. Drivas" He said and kissed my forehead "I love you too" pabulong kong aniya, not minding the persons present in the wedding. Next was the exchange of nupitial cups then the closing ceremony and then the reception.

The reception was more modern than the actual wedding. Our parents congratulated us, so as our friends who are now giving their funny speech "Oi Aki, take care of Khashton for us and have mercy on him" Natatawang sabi ni Luca. And it's now my sister's turn. This will be embarrassing.

"Yo sis. First I wish you happiness..." she paused and smirked. Here it comes "Grant me a lot of nieces. And you Khashton, make sure you make one tonight" I saw Khashton blushed at mahina namang natawa ang iba. And here comes my dear brother "Sis, I want a boy" Muntik ko ng isaksak sa mata nya ang kutsilyo na ginamit kong panghiwa ng cake kanina. Nag puppy eyes lang naman ampota.

After their touching speech (note the sarcasm),  the bouquet toss came in. All the single maidens lined up but someone already has a plan. I looked at Luca who is busy looking around. Nakatingin lang naman sakanya ang mga tao. The maidens formed a line "Im sorry but not today ladies"  Napangiti ako ng marinig ang boses na dalawang taon na naming hindi nakikita.

"Hey baby" Namula si Luca at hindi makapaniwalang tinignan si Brie. We were planning this all along. At first ayaw ni Brie dahil ayaw nya rawng mang agaw ng spotlight but I insisted. "Sorry to steal your spotlight Aki but I'm here to pick up my man" Tinanguan ko lang sya at sabay kaming tumayo ni Khashton at ibinigay sakanila ang bouquet.

"Thank you" She whispered and I just smiled "Don't you miss me Luca? I didn't have a chance to change but..." The crowd gasped happily when they saw Brie with a velvet box. "Will you marry me baby?"

"Say yes Luca!" Sabay na sigaw nila Adi. Inabutan ng isang staff si Luca. Tumikhim muna sya bago muna nag salita "This is embarrassing..." Mahinang sabi nya kaya natawa ang mga tao na nag eenjoy ata sa pagiging awkward ni Luca "But it's a coincidence" He pulled out a black box on his pocket "I thought I will wait for another three years but you're here already. And get up, I should be the one proposing right?" Tumayo si Brie at si Luca naman ngayon ang nakaluhod. "Will you marry--" Hindi paman natatapos ni Luca ang sasabihin nya ay hinila sya ni Brie para halikan.

"These two really stole the spotlight" Nakangiting sabi ni Khashton. "I don't care, this day is still ours cause this is the day I can finally say that Im your wife"

He looked at me and pulled me closer "I promise I will love you till our hairs turns to gray" then sealed his promise with a kiss.

"Three years later"

"Cheers!" Napasimangot si Brie kaya natawa nalang kami. We're currently drinking, alumni student council ngayon eh.  Brie cant drink because she's pregnant with their second child. "I wish I could drink those. This pregnancy is killing me" inis na sabi nya.

"It will be worth it after you gave birth" I said to her. Kaagad silang napatingin sakin "Kelan mo ba planong magka-anak huh?" Tinawanan ko lang sila "We're still trying" 

"Haay, I have to go now. I can't drink too much. I have to stop by at Zev's Cafe. Kukunin pa namin si Reese sa school eh" Sabi ni Iris at tumayo na "Bye" sabay naming sabi. Saming lahat, ako nalang ang walang anak. Maybe I've been so busy lately.

"Come to my concert guys huh" Adi handed us a ticket to her concert. She is now a successful musician and a business woman. Also a mother of two kids, Savi and Emily. "Sure" Narinig namin ang pag hinto ng sasakyan "It must be Tristan, got to go now"

Kumaway lang kami. Sunod na umalis si Aki saka si Brie kaya naiwan akong mag isa. Ako narin ang nag bayad since turn kong manlibre ngayon. My friends are happy now, I cans see it in their eyes. The way their eyes twinkle when they look at their husband's and kids. It's overwhelming for me. If my friends are happy, Im happy too.

"Hi hon" He kissed me on the cheeks. Standing right in front of me is my man. Been married for one year and we are trying to have kids. "Did I come late?"

"Cooper, am I busy this past few months?" I cupped his face "A little bit, but that's alright"

"Im sorry, let's go to a vacation, just the two of us" Nag liwanag ang mukha nya "Promise? Tayo lang?" His innocent face became darker "Pervert, you haven't change since college" tumawa lang sya at hinalikan ako sa noo. Kinuha ko ang susi ng SCO at ni-lock ito.

Parang kahapon lang Highschool kami. We used to wear those black uniforms back then. And now we are happily married.

The Blacks, signing off...
