Treacherous Battle (Salvaje Caballero Series 2)

Venticinco

"Hey." I chuckled.

"From maid...to tenant.. to living partner..and now your wife. Hindi ko inakala na magbubunga ang panlalandi ko sayo. Ang rupok mo pala?"

Siya naman ng natawa sa sinabi ko. I saw the ghost smile of the preacher as he listened to us.

"In the eyes of God...and to the people who are here. I....I promise you love you unconditionally. I know we're in hard situation right now. Dahil lahat ay pinaghihiwalay tayo. We are both fighting against the world for the love that we have.. And on this day.... I want to say that we won. Maghiwalay man tayo, mag-away man tayo, magkasakitan man tayo.... Nathan, nanalo tayo. We won the battle, because we're here. Marrying each other. Promising that we'll alway be together..no matter what happens."

"I love you."

I reached for his cheeks when a tear fell from his eyes. I wiped it using my thumb. Our situation is very hard. Pilit namin ipinaglalaban ang pag-iibigan naming ayaw ng lahat.

"Kalia Zeen Valverde Alvarez. You're finally my wife. We're both young but I will never regret this. I will never regret loving you... Babe, please give me time to prove to you that marrying me isn't a mistake."

Ngumiti siya at pinunasan naman ang luha ko dahil sa tuloy na agos nito.

"Mahal kita. At kahit paulit-ulit man tayong paghiwalayin. Pauli-ulit din kitang ipaglalaban. Sana...sana kahit ubos na tayong dalawa, kahit hindi na natin kaya...babalik at babalik tayo sa isa't isa."

"I love you." he whispered.

Sa pagdampi ang aming mga labi, ramdam ko ang pagmamahal. Ramdam ko ang pag-iingat.. Ramdam ko ang lahat.

I giggled looking at the plain ring on my finger. I can't help but to smile. I shifted my seat so I can get a view of my husband who's driving. Husband.. He's my husband!

"Nakakatunaw naman ang titig na yan." naiiling sa sambit ni Nathan.

"I have the right to stare what's mine right?"

"Landi talaga." bulong niya na ikinatawa ko na lang.

Madilim na nang nakauwi kami sa rest house. Pero parang nag iba lahat dahil alam ko na kasal na kami.

I'm 18 and I'm already married. Grabe ang landi ko pala talaga?

"Hoy hubby!" asar ko kay Nathan nang makapasok kami.

"Ano?"

"Kainin na kita? Rawr!"

He barked out of laughter and pinched my nose.
