"I'M GETTING MARRIED IN 3 WEEKS!" Holy shit! 3 weeks! 21 days! In 21 days, I will be Mrs. Richard Faulkerson Jr. officially! Maine exclaimed as she, Coleen and Rizza left the shop of the local designer to have last minute fittings with her wedding gown. She turned to Rizza and gave her future sister in law a tight hug.

"Riz, thank you so much for all your help. I knew I was asking too much when I wanted the wedding to happen in under 2 months but y'all pulled it off. I wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for all of you" Maine emotionally admitted.

"You're so welcome Ate. It was my pleasure" Rizza answered while hugging Maine back.

"Okay. Cry babies. Stop it! I didn't wear a waterproof mascara today, so please, no crying." Coleen stated irritably but a small smile playing on her lips. Maine just turned to her and gave her an even tighter hug. Maine didn't let go until Coleen returned the hug.

"Meng, in all seriousness, I'm truly very happy for you. I'm thankful that you are finally happy. And I've threatened RJ enough that I know he will never intentionally hurt you." Coleen whispered with a hitch in her voice. She gave Maine a kiss on the forehead and finally let go.

Rizza had to turn away from the touching moment between sisters but she was suddenly pulled in for the group hug. Then tears started coming and pretty soon, all three girls were babbling and trying hard to control the flow of emotions. Maine, mostly because of her pregnancy hormones, she's prone to be emotional. Coleen, because she is absolutely thrilled and happy for her younger sister and nephew. Rizza, because she's ecstatic that her brother is getting married and she's gaining a new sister. Yes, all three have different reasons for their tears at the moment but one emotion is overwhelming them all. Happiness!

"Where to now, baby girl. It's only 10:00 am" Coleen asked after some awkward throat clearing.

"Sorry guys, but I have a business meeting to go to at 11:00" Rizza apologized.

"It's ok Riz. I'm just glad you were able to come with us for the dress fitting" Maine responded.

"I wish I could tag along today but it's the beginning of the month so I have to attend to livelihood" Rizza answered with a wink. She gave Coleen and Maine a hug before walking to her car and driving off.

"Ate, I'm supposed to meet with Tita Rose and Mom for the food and cake tasting. Wanna tag along?"

"I wish I can but I just remembered I have a meeting with a client at 11:30 and it's going to be in Surrey. Unless, you are heading there too" Coleen hopefully asked. Maine doesn't need to know that she's actually meeting with RJ to finalized the papers for the house he purchased as a wedding present for Maine.

"Bleh. No. Mom and Tita Rose are having the caterers at the Faulkersons so that's where I'm heading now" Maine regretfully answered with a pout. So, the sisters hugged one last time before heading off to their respective cars and driving off.

As Maine was driving to the Faulkerson residence, she couldn't help but reflect at the events in the last six months. All in all, it was the best six months of her life. She couldn't help but say a silent prayer. Thank you God for bringing RJ and I back together. You really know me well. Oh, and thank you too Lord, for looking after my family. Especially Kuya Nicolas. Thank you for helping him in his recovery. She was smiling by the time she reached her destination.
