"Tuparin natin, kahit yung isa lang" Jho

"Joke mo lang yan eh. Alam ko naman kung sino talaga ang mahal mo"

Jho held both of my cheeks and looked at me intently

"She's in the past" Jho







2 days later

THIRD PERSON

At a chapel

The song "The Gift" started playing

Nakatayo ngayon si Nico sa harap ng altar, at nakasuot ng simple white polo paired with black slacks. Hinihintay ang babaeng pakakasalan niya, hindi nagtagal ay lumabas ang babaeng pinakamamahal niya at naglakad palapit.

Jhoana is wearing a simple white dress but elegant looking. Nang makarating sa altar si Jho ay inoffer ni Nico ang kamay niya para sa babae, at lubos naman itong tinanggap ni Jho

"Eeeyyy bruh, parang totoo ah haha. This is lit" Ranz

They all chuckled

"Shhh you're the priest here" Milissa

It is a pretentious wedding

"Ah ok ok, ehem ehem. Let's proceed to the wedding vows. Nico Evangelista, do you take Jhoana Maraguinot to be your lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health?" Ranz

"I do" Nico at napapahilot ito sa sentido

"Nics, are you ok?" Jho
"Ok ka lang?" Ranz and Milissa

Nico gave a thumbs up and smiled

"Ok get going, Jho and I are feeling cringe now haha" Milissa

This might be really cringe for them, especially for Jho and Milissa but they still push this event. For Nico

"Jhoana Maraguinot, do you take Nico Evangelista to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health?" Ranz

"I do?" Jho

"HAHAHA ba't may question mark?" Ranz

At nagtawanan na nga sila, wala naging dogshow na 'to

"Wedding vows done! Now, kiss!" Milissa

"May ganon? Hug lang meron! Haha" Jho

Nico smilingly opened his arms at si Jho naman ay tuluyan nang niyakap si Nico

"So isa na akong Evangelista ganon" Jho said between the hugs and chuckled

"Pretend lang naman, misis Evangelista" Nico


"Congratulations to the newlyweds! Wooohhh" Ranz







NICO

We're having steak for dinner para sa celebration ng wedding kuno. Nandito kami sa isang steakhouse

"A dream came true. Thanks Jho, and thanks Ranz, Milissa"

"Ako pa" Jho winks

"Kaya pagaling kana, malay mo totohanin ni Jho" Ranz

Loko talaga si Ranz kaya napatawa nalang kami eh

"Oo nga, malay mo" Jho wiggles her brows

"Awwww" Milissa

Nang matapos ang dinner we parted ways na. Magkasama sila Milissa and Ranz tapos kami naman ni Jho ang magkasamang pauwi

Habang naglalakad kami dito sa parking lot ay di ako mapakali sa nararamdaman ko. Kanina ko pa kasi iniinda ang panghihilo at panghihina ko

"Nics? Are you ok?" Jho

Nang magkatinginan kami ni Jho, nagsalita siya

"Oh you're sweating! Anong nararamdaman mo? May masakit ba?" Jho

"I need to go to h-hospital. Something's wrong, Jho"

Nagmadali na si Jho at nang makarating na kami sa sasakyan ay agad niya akong pinasakay sa kotse at nagdrive na siya papuntang hospital

While she's driving ay nagsalita ako

"Jho?"

"Nics, relax ok? Wag ka munang magsalita" Jho

"Nararamdaman ko na Jho"

"Nico ano ba! Stop saying that!" Jho

"I love you, Jho, sana alam mo yan. I promise, pag nagkita na kami ni Chloe aalagaan ko siya para sainyo ni Bea"

"And your necklace you're wearing now with Chloe's ashes, may pair yan. It is made for Bea, pinatago ko yun kay tita Lovel" I added

"Please Nico, wag kang magpaalam! Hindi mo ako iiwan, naiintindihan mo" Jho

I feel very weak already. I guess it's almost my time, bilang na ang oras ko dito sa mundo







A day after

JHOANA

Nico is gone, his internal infection spread quickly. Sadly, he asked for mercy killing.

Masakit man isipin pero pinaglalamayan na namin siya ngayon

"Thank you for being a part of my life. I've learned a lot from you, Nics. And I love the memories we've made. Sana masaya kana ngayon. Alagaan mo si Chloe ha?" I silently sob

A/N: I apologize for any grammar errors you may have noticed. :)

Does anyone here appreciate Nico, even in this mere chapter?
