"CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. and Mrs. Jadraque!" I congratulated Arlo and his wife.

They look so perfect together. I couldn't help but get teary-eyed while watching them get married. Everything is perfect! The venue, the scenery, the gown, the food, everything. It is a simple and intimate wedding lang. Not too many bisita rin, closest friends and relatives lang talaga.

"Thank you, Sera. I'm really glad that you were able to come." Arlo replied, smiling at me.

I wanted to make some chika pa sana but everyone wanted to congratulate them too kaya I congratulated them one more time before I stepped aside muna to let other visitors talk to them.

And because by the beach ang wedding nila, after the ceremony, nakalipat din kami agad sa wedding reception which is walking distance lang naman. Hindi ko alam kung sadyang walang masyadong turista rito sa Batanes ngayon o talaga nirentahan nila 'tong lugar para kami-kami lang ang nandito ngayon.

I looked around and saw that Kuya Baker and Ate Olive were gone. I secretly smile to myself because I'm sure, right at this moment, Kuya is on one knee, proposing to Ate Olive. An indescribable warm feeling filled my heart because of blissfulness.

Arlo got married here. Kuya Baker's proposing here, and I found out just a while ago, before the wedding started, that Atlas and Gael were together again. I'm undeniably happy for all of them because everyone found their true love...

And me?

Well... he is gracefully walking towards me right now. He was dressed in a white button-down rolled sleeve shirt, cream khaki pants, and a brown lavish belt. All the groomsmen are wearing the same outfit to match the groom, but to my eyes, Cash is the sexiest among them.

And he is mine.

A smile unconsciously emerged on my lips, locking eyes with him as he got closer to me.

"Hi," he says, running his hand sexily through his dishevelled hair. He wanted to brush his hair neatly for the wedding, but I told him that I preferred it this way because it looked sexier.

"Hey, you." I greeted him back. His hand instinctively found its way around my waist, stopping in the small of my back.

"Did I tell you that you look stunning?"

I giggled at his compliment. "Oo kaya." I playfully rolled my eyes at him, trying to hide the redness on my cheeks. "Kanina mo pa sinasabi sa'kin iyan, kaya nainis sayo si Gael kasi ang landi mo raw!" he chuckled, remembering what happened kanina.

Magkakasama kasi kami sa iisang table kanina habang kumakain tapos itong si Cash kung ano-anong binubulong sa'kin e katabi ko si Gael. Kaya ayon nabulyawan siya kasi ayaw tumigil ni Cash sa panglalandi sa'kin at hindi makapag-concentrate si Gael sa pagkain niya.

"Atlas is malandi rin naman. Why are you only mad at me?" Cash retorted.

"Siyempre, jowa ko 'to kaya okay lang! Ikaw, jowa ba kita?" Sigaw naman pabalik ni Gael with matching irap.
