Tell Me Who I'll Marry

Chapter 10

I woke up with a smile flashed on my lips.

The morning reflection of the sun touches my skin.

My heart tremble with so much ecstacy and excitement.

I stood up and prepared myself for one of the most awaited moment in my life.

"Good morning, beautiful!"

My mom greeted me as she kissed my cheeks.

She hugged me with full of bliss in her eyes.

"Tumatanda na ako, anak. Kailan niyo kaya ako mabibigyan ng apo ni Crucian?"

"Mom!"

Namula ang aking pisngi dahil sa sinabi nito.

"I wish you all the best, anak. Alagaan mo ang magiging asawa mo katulad ng pag-aalaga ko sa Daddy mo."

I nodded as I hugged her tight.

Crucian's POV,

Standing with the sea of people on the same church that we married.

I feel nervous.

I looked at my watch just to check the time.

Damn, it's time.

I looked at the un-opened door waiting for the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen in my whole life.

The so much ecstacy in my eyes shows how much I love her.

After a couple of minutes waiting for my girl, my sweat fell from my forehead.

"Damn, where are you, wife?"

I whispered to myself.

I glanced at my clock and get my phone.

I texted her but she didn't respond.

She's now an hour late.

Slowly our visitors are leaving.

"Una na kami, bro. I hate to say this pero mukhang hindi na siya darating."

Bumagsak ang aking balikat at tumango habang pinagmamasdan ang ilang mga bisita na nagsisi-alisan na.

I can see pity in their eyes.

But I never showed them any emotion.

My heart is tearing apart as nervousness invade me.

Hoping that any moment, that door from this church will open.

After 3 hours of waiting, my mother came in the picture.

"Son..."

He caressed my face and she hugged me.

I hugged her back with the most excruciating pain that I ever felt in my whole life.

"Let's go home."

I shrugged.

"N-No, mom. I k-know that s-she will c-come. What if na-traffic lang? I won't l-leave here. i'll wait for my wife."

"Babawi ako sa lahat ng nagawa ko sa kan'ya. Kung gusto ninyong umuwi, mauna na kayo. Hindi ko kayo kailangan dito-"

"Anak."

I looked away.

I saw my dad coming towards us.

He gave me a hug and pulled my mom away from me.

"Sometimes it is not bad to give up, son."

Umiling ako at hinfi ko sila pinansin.

Hindi ako aalis dito. Hihintayin kita.

Kahit gaano katagal basta hihintayin kita.

I love her so much that I'm willing to wait even if how long will it take.

What if she woke up late?

What if there's a traffic?

What if they forgot the way towards here?

What if the driver didn't came?

What if she has a plan of leaving me?

N-No.

She cant do that to me.

She love me so much.

Nang mangawit ako na tumayo ay naupo ako.

Hours passed.

I fell asleep.

After how many hours, I woke up.

Palubog na ang araw at ako na lamang ang mag-isa rito sa simbahan kasama ang pari na magkakasal sa amin.

Nilingon ko si Father George nang lumapit ito sa akin at tapikin niya ang balikat ko.

"You're so patient waiting for your girl to come. Real love does exist in you. I'm proud of you."

"But seems like she's not coming anymore. I think it's time to give up. Not everyone is worth for the wait, Crucian. And not everyone that you are waiting will be coming."

With those words that he told me, he left me hanging and wondering.

Does she really love me?

Unti-unti ay nagliwanag ang pinto ng simbahan.

I fixed myself waiting for my girl to enter that door.

It's all worth for the way.

When the door finally opened, I met Levi's eyes.

"Wife-"

"Crucian, she got a car accident. Go to the hospital ASAP!"
