My love will never fail you by Marie Hines

Kiefer

2 out of 10 men can be lucky to have found the right woman for them, yung babaeng mamahalin nila at mamahalin sila in return and thank God isa ako sa dalawa.

While she's slowly making her way to me, lahat bumabalik sakin. How I fell in love for the first time, how I got my heart broken at kung ilang beses pa akong sumubok. Sabi nila sakin love is a cycle. Kapag nasaktan ka ngayon bukas magiging masaya ka. Kung hindi siya para sayo may ibang nakatakda, kung hindi pa siya dumadating ngayon tumingin ka sa paligid baka nasa tabi lang siya hindi mo lang nakikita. Kadalasan kasi naooverwhelm tayo sa mga bagay at mga tao, hindi na natin naappreciate kung anong meron tayo.

Noon, pinilit kong pigilan kung ano mang spark ang naramdaman ko the first time I saw her, pinabayaan ko yun kasi akala ko what I have now I have to work on, but it failed just like my previous relationships. Then I realized yun ang mali ko, tinrabaho ko kasi despite what my Mom and Dad always tells me na ang pagibig kusang darating yan, magugulat ka na lang hulog na hulog ka na.

Basically that was our story, hindi ko masasabing biglaan. We knew each other beforehand, nakikita ko na siya. Malapit siya sa mga kapatid ko and I'll say she has, being a volleyball player, a very special space in my Mama's heart. Pero masasabi kong, our love is that love my parents warned me about. Dumating, hindi hinanap, kusang nagpenetrate sa puso ko and I swear to God, tagusan.

It was a natural feeling, tipong pagising mo mukha na niya ang nakikita mo. Siya na ang dahilan ng mga ngiti mo, may kakayanan na siyang wasakin ka ng buo. It was that powerful. Love is that mighty.

Her smiles gave me hope, her laughters told me I can do it. She became my support group, the inspiration aside my family.

You are all I ever need
You are more than I could hope you'll be
You are home to me

Definitely, Mika is my home.

I could see our Mom's crying for joy as she walks with so much gracefulness along her Dad and Miko.

"Kaunti na lang.." I said to myself.

My love will never fail you
My arms will always save you
I will make you, make you mine

Thirdy gave me his hanky when I sniffed, I smiled at him. He tapped my shoulder.

"You gettin' tied brader!" Happily he told me. I wiped my tears away.

"I guess I am." I told him. Both of us happy.

I swear to always fight for us
I swear no one can touch this love

That first awkward, "Hi." to that moment I first held her hand. To the day she finally said yes to me, to our first big fight.

The cyber world told us it was a wattpad fairytale to life, I couldn't agree more.

Who would've thought, for someone who's dedicated to their alma mater makikita pala namin ang mga other half namin sa kalabang skwela. Funny, how destiny brought us together.

I'm gonna seal the deal in this beautiful venue, but nothing can be as breathtaking as my wife to be.

Finally, she reached me.

Habang nakatingin kami sa isa't isa tuluyan na kong umiyak. I can't believe she's almost mine, totally, wholly mine.

Nahanap niya ako, nahanap ko siya. We found each other and there's no letting go now.

"Tumigil ka nga, minsan lang ako magmake-up sinisira mo pa." Angil niya sabay hampas sakin na kinatawa ng lahat.

"I'm sorry baby. I love you." I couldn't help it, kahit may veil pa siya I kissed her forehead.

Niyakap ko ang Papa niya na Papa ko na din ngayon.

"Tiwala naman ako sayo, pero sasabihin ko pa rin. Alagaan mo to, palagi kayong magiintindihan." Sabi ni Papa sakin, tumango tango lang ako habang niyayakap siya.

"Salamat Pa, salamat talaga." Niyakap ko rin si Miko.

"Kuya Kiefer, welcome to the family na talaga. Ikaw na bahala sa isang yan ah." Miko said, nakipagfist bump pa ako sa kanya.

"Salamat sa pagbantay sa Ate mo, nung wala pa ako at hanggang dumating ako." I told him, ngumiti lang siya sakin.

Tinignan ko ulit si Mika, shit. Eto na talaga yun, from head to toe.. My woman is exceptional.

I love her.

"Take her hand, baka tumakbo pa yan." Tudyo ni Thirdy, hindi ko pala napansin na inaantay na ni Mika na kunin ko ang kamay niya from her father and I grabbed her hand.

"Yun!" Thirdy snapped, everyone was cheering and clapping their hands for us.

Inalalayan ko si Mika, few steps more to the altar sa harap ng Pari na magkakasal samin.

"Mahal na mahal kita." I whispered to her, tinignan niya ako.

"I wouldn't be here if I don't. I'm deeply smitten too baby." She replied and both of us looked at the Priest.

Thirdy

Hindi mo rin talaga masasabi kung ano ang itinakda sayo. Ako nga akala ko nakita ko na siya, so many times, hindi pa pala.

Sobrang saya ko para sa dalawang to. I was a witness as to how they met, how each got their heart broken because of the wrong person God brought to them para iprepare sila sa isa't isa.

"Thirds, siya na." Tandang tanda ko pa, shooting kami nun sa Ateneo. Ilang buwan palang silang nagdedate ni Mika nang sinabi niya sakin na si Mika na ang hinahanap niya.

Tinawanan ko lang siya because it is still too early to tell, pero sa araw araw na nasaksihan ko dun ko narealize. Oo nga, settling down with that one person na itinakda sayo is not determined by how long you two are together.

"Some people are meant to fall in love with each other but not meant to be together." Parang si Summer at Mckenzie pero hindi si Manong at Yeye.

I guess, theirs is that one great love you only find once kaya dapat di mo na pakawalan. Lucky for them, they both hold on.

Falling in love, is such a mystery. Hindi mo masosolve magisa, you'll need that other half to complete the missing pieces.

Mika

Over 100 guests gathered to witness as we tie the knot. Piling mga kaibigan, mahal sa buhay at pamilya lang. Isang garden and over looking Taal Lake wedding, 0315 in the morning at isang church wedding sa Blessed John Paul II in Eastwood scheduled a week after this.

Karen and her team did it, the perfect wedding, may not be the grandest but it was the one I dreamt of.

I could say, kasal ko to.

Seeing these people na mahalaga sa puso ko, everyone's smiling with a bit of happy tears on their eyes as I walk down the aisle with my father and Miko.

Everything's pure white. The sun is about to rise, mapapayakap ka sa sarili mo sa sobrang lamig pero nobody really cares.

My white flowing tube gown is dancing with the wind. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang lamig dahil sa exposed kong leeg. Mom gave me an heirloom necklace na galing pa daw sa Lola namin and I wore it, my auburn pixie hair in place.

This is it. A life with him.

My thoughts:

Just a short update since everyone's too caught up with the Marian-DingDong Wedding.

The end of 2014, what a great year and I'm looking forward for a greater year this 2015. 15, atin to. Di ba Manong? 🙈☺️

For you, my readers, I love you guys and thank you for accepting my little sabaw mind.

Have a good year-end. Cheers! 👯🙏🍻
