Touched

Fifty Nine

Grayson Fitzgerald

What the fuck.

I cannot stop my eyes from crying lalo na nung nakita ko na siyang palapit. 

The love of my life.

The mother of my child.

My soulmate.

The one who holds my heart.

Eto ako, wearing a ridiculously tailored costume; fit for a king, sweating like the Niagara falls, karga karga ang little Piggy ko na umiiyak na din habang pinupuri kung gaano kaganda ang nanay niya.

An orchestra is playing in the background habang punong puno ang hall ng pinakamalalapit na tao sa buhay namin. 

Selene and Nicky's handiworks are evident dahil akala mo talaga nasa medieval era ang loob ng hall--the costumes, the flowers..the draperies---only amplifying how wonderful this moment is.

I had to take a minute to fucking catch my breath ng nakalapit na ang pinakamamahal ko kasama ang lolo niya at yung kambal na nakahawak sa magkabilang kamay niya---she's fucking breath taking at kahit na medyo maga na ang mata niya sa kakaiyak, wala pa ding mintis ang epekto niya sakin.

Linapitan siya ni Nicky at niyakap ng mahigpit habang may ibinubulong dito. Tumango tango na lang si Thea dahil humahagulhol na siya--so fucking sexy. Naghiwalay naman sila agad at kinuha na ni Nicky ang dala niyang boquet pagkatapos siyang halikan sa pisngi.

The twins stood beside Nicky at waved at Greer.

"Grayson." Ares Esquivel's tone was clipped, but I can see his eyes watering.

"Ares." Tinanguan ko ito.

"These two women in your life are your top priority from now on. Alagaan mo silang mabuti apo. I know you'll do right by her." He pulled me in for a quick hug then tapped my shoulders.

"Thank you sir."

"Lolo."

"Thank you lolo." Ulit ko na nakangiti na ngayon.

Fucking wonderful.

"Now, can great grandpa carry this little princess?" Tumingin sakin si Piggy dahil alam kong hindi niya kilala pa si lolo.

"He's your mum's lolo baby ko."

"Wowo!! Up ako, I'm Piggy! Mum's so Pweety that is why pop's cwiying and piggy's cwiying!" Sumbong nito na humilig na sa balikat ni lolo na bumaling na din kay Thea para halikan ito sa ulo.

"Hi." 

Fuck, she's so beautiful.

"Did you like my first surprise?" I held her hand at humarap na kami sa pari na nagsisimula na ng wedding rites.

"Sobra. Thank you Gray, you always know how to give me those mini heart attacks. I love you so much." I felt her arms around my waist and her head on my shoulder.

Hinalikan ko ang ulo niya at nakinig na sa pari.

-----

"Since it is your intention to enter the covenant of Holy Matrimony, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church. Please recite your vows." 

Agad ko namang hinawakan ang magkabilang kamay ni Thea. We were both smiling as our gazes lock.

"Sa babaeng pinakamamahal ko, Thea Elise Maxwell. Hindi ako perpektong tao, hindi ko maipapangako na lagi tayong masaya..na lagi tayong nasa ibabaw..well you can always be on top baby..ouch!" Napangiwi ako nung kurutin niya.
