The Law of God

Prologue

"Wow, it's been two years!" I said, couldn't believe the fact that we met. Parang kailan lamang kami nagkakilala ni Haein pero ngayon ay ikakasal na kaming dalawa. Hindi ko inasahan na mauuwi kami sa kasalan dalawa, ang tanging nasa isip ko lamang ay yung makasama siya at samahan siya na magbagong buhay sa labas ng malamig na seldang nabilanggo siya ng ilang taon. 

Pumasok ang Maid of Honour kong si Hyo Joo na nakasuot na bathrobe habang hindi pa tapos ang pag aayos sa hair and makeup niya. I can immediately see her teary eyes as she comes closer towards me. She's been my friend for quite a long time now and she knows every happening in my life. To the point that I can't keep any secrets from her. Dahil before ko pa man itanggi o itago sa kaniya ay alam niya na ito. 

Mabilis niyang nilingkis ang kaniyang mga braso palibot sa akin, "I'm so proud of you, Ji!" she said, I can hear her sobbing in between her breathing. Tinapik tapik ko ang likod at hinayaan lamang ito na umiyak. Nararamdaman ko ang saya niya para sa akin. 

"Thank you for being there to support me." I whispered, and she cries even more. Pinipigilan ko na wag matawa ngunit kailangan ko upang hindi ako maiyak at baka pareho pa kami maging late sa kasal ko. Napaaray ako ng marahan nitong sinampal ang likod ko dahilan para matawa kaming dalawa. 

Nilingkis niya ang kamay niya sa braso ko habang nakatingin sa repleksyon ng salamin. Pinagmamasdan ang itsura naming dalawa na halos magulo na ang makeup namin. Mabilis naman kami humingi ng paumanhin sa makeup artist dahil alam namin ang stress nito habang nag iiyakan kami. 

"Napaka ganda mong bride, Ji." She complimented. I leaned my head to hers, smile in disbelief that I would be the first one to get married between us two. Hindi ako makapaniwala dahil siya itong may matagal ng boyfriend at inaasahan ko na mauuna siya sa akin pero here I am in a white simple wedding dress. 

Bago pa man ako bumalik sa upuan at para matapos na ang makeup ko. She showed me her last gift to me as a single woman, it's inside in a small box. It comes with a letter inside, and Hyo Joo was so shy for her handwriting. 

She stops Jisoo from opening the letter, "Wait tissue muna" natawa ang mga kasama nila sa kwarto at mabilis naman siyang inabutan ng tissue. "Okay go" Pag utos nito sa akin na magpatuloy na. 

I was distracted to the scent of the paper; I sent a mysterious stare at her. "Did you just spray our favorite scent here?" I asked, she tries to deny but failed to do so. Binuksan ko na ang letter at wala pa man din ay narinig ko na siyang humihikbi sa tabi ko. 

"Dear my beloved sunshine soul sister, 

As you may read this now, I want to tell you that I am above the clouds proud of you. You've come a long way and I witnessed every phase in your life, I've seen you in your lowest and darkest days that was so heartbreaking to me as someone close to you. As well as your happiest days in life that I would always be thankful to the person who form a smile on your heart-shaped lips. Thus, I am giving this handmade bracelet to you as a sign of our eternity friendship, and I promise that I will always be your Sool Sister!

 I love you, my dear sunshine!

XOXO

Officer Hyo Joo"

Hindi ko namamalayang balde balde na ang mga iniiyak ko habang binabasa ko ang letter niya sa akin. Binuksan ko na ang box at bumungad sa akin ang napaka ganda na bracelet na may nakaukit na initial naming dalawa. Kinuha ko ito at masusing tinignan ang pagkakagawa dito.
