4: Going Back A Few Years Ago

Start from the beginning
                                    

He said he wanted to marry me.

I responded with a "Yes I want to marry you"

He's hands on with the preparations

I watched and went with everything he plans.

The date was set

The preparations were ready

Pero the night before the wedding I felt scared.

Parang hindi ko kayang maging 'wife'

Marami pa akong balak gawin sa buhay ko

I wanted to become a surgeon, the best one there is

A working individual, earning money independently.

While he wants a family with a wife who'll stay at home

Hindi ko kayang maging yun sa ngayon.

Hindi pa ako handa

At higit sa lahat hindi ako yun

Iba ako.

Hindi ako tatagal sa gusto niyang mangyari

The moment I say "I do"

I'll get locked up in his dreams while I throw away mine.

Magiging puro "SIYA"

Mawawala sakin yung "AKO"

 

Hindi ko kaya.

Natatakot ako.

The day of the wedding came.

Binigay na sakin nung coordinator yung cue

I started to walk down the isle

I looked at the altar where my future husband is standing

He's smiling

He's very proud

It's like nothing can ruin this day.

 

Hindi na matutupad ang mga balak ko sa buhay.

Hindi ako magiging masaya sa ganun

I stopped walking.

I backed out.

Then I ran.

I ran as fast as I could

Kailangan kong makalayo

Makalayo sa lahat

Hindi pa ako handang i-give up ang mga pangarap ko para sa kanya
