FINAL
CHAPTER

Grabe. As in grabe, laging tatandaan simula ngayon na kapag sinabi ni Ronnel. Gagawin niya. Alam ko namang mega true siya sa mga words niya pero hindi ko naman akalain na dinaig niya pa ang Girls Scout na ready. Ura-urada.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony.." Yes, si Father 'yan.

Bale, nandito na kami sa harap ng altar at naka-gown din naman ako na hindi ko akalain na sukat talaga sa akin. Simple lang ito. Sobrang simple na parang tela lang then ginawang gown. May kaunting style na ewan sa pababa then pak. Ready to wear na. I wasn't complaining though. Even though I was wearing the simplest gown of all simple gowns in the wedding, the whole event was amazing.

Maganda ang ayos ng simbahan. Naaamoy ka pa dito ang masamyong amoy ng bulaklak. Tapos, white and yellow ang theme. Favorite ko kasi ang yellow. Hindi naman ito 'yung yellow na nakakasulasok sa mata. 'Yung light color lang. Ang ganda nga. Very refreshing.

"I require and charge you both, as you will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why you may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, you do now confess it. For be you well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's Word don't allow, their marriage is not lawful.."

Naramdaman kong pinipisil ni Ronnel ang kamay ko kaya lumingon ako sa kanya. Kinakabahan yata ang prinsipe ko. Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at pinisil din ang kamay niya.

Feeling ko napagkaisahan ako dito. Ako lang kasi ang hindi nabigyan ng imbitasyon ngayong kasal. Wait. Kapag ba bride binibigyan rin ng wedding invitation? Well, bahala na. Iyon kasing mga bisita namin ay pak na pak. Ang dami. Mga kakilala naming lahat. Nandito rin si Dad na hindi ko alam kung kailan nakabalik sa Pilipinas. Noong inihatid niya ako kanina sa unahan ng altar ay iyak siya nang iyak na para bang naagawan siya ng kendi.

"Ronnel, will thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Will thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, for saking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as you both shall live?" Tanong ni Father kay Ronnel. Tiningnan muna ako at ni Ronnel at nginitian ko naman siya.

Bumalik ang tingin nya kay Father. "Yes, I will."

Ngumiti na ulit ako sa kanya.

"Sofia, will thou have this Man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Will thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, for saking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as you both shall live?" Tanong ni Father.

Tiningnan ko naman si Ronnel. Papatagalin ko lang para masaya. Paiyak na 'yung itsura ni Ronnel. Pinisil niya na 'yung kamay ko. Natatawa na ako. Okay na..

"Yes, I will," para namang nabunutan ng tinik si Ronnel. Natatawa talaga ako sa kanya!

"Who giveth this Woman to be married to this Man?" Tanong ulit ni Father. Sige, ang tutol ibabaon ko ng buhay.

Ayan, wala naman pala. Nagpatuloy na si Father. Ilang sandali lang ay vows na. Susko, hindi kaya ako prepared!

"Hi, my princess and soon-to-be Ms.Sofia Reyes-Dela Vega, the first time I saw you, I thought you were just a little girl who wanted some fun in my bar and then, I was right. Muntik ka pang mapahamak, you even said that you hated rules and I was a ruler, so I thought that time that yes. Confirmed, she hated me too.." natawa pa siya.
