Paper Rings to Wedding Rings.
IZANA
Today is our wedding day. I'm here sa isang room and sobrang kinakabahan ako. How's Y/N kaya? Is she okay?
I pouted when i saw my sister teasing me thru messages. Sabi niya she already saw Y/N and she looks so amazing.
I still remember the day that i proposed to her at yung conversation namin ng mga pinsan niya and also parents before doing that thing.
Flashbacks
A day before the big day happened, i went on a quick dinner date with my family. I also invited her parents kasi magpapaalam na ako.
"Thank you po for coming Tita Mommy and Tito Dad." I said at nagmano.
"Where's Y/N?" They asked.
"She's busy po sa duty niya. Kayo lang naman po gusto kong makausap." Sagot ko.
"Nak, you're making me nervous." Mom said.
Matagal pa dumating yung foods and our parents are busy chatting about their business. Tangina, kinakabahan ako.
I cleared my throat. "Mom, Dad, Tito Dad, and Tita Mommy. I have something to discuss with you po and it's about my relationship with her." I said with full courage.
"What is it, anak?"
"I'm planning to propose na po kasi sa kanya tomorro-"
"OH MY GOD! TOTOO BA!?" Sabay na sambit nila Mommy.
"And?" Kalmado lang sila Dad.
"And i just want your blessings po. I really want to marry her po. I want to take care of her and have a whole family with your daughter." I continued.
"Okay naman na po kami. Ready naman na po kami lalo na't we already finished our academics and may trabaho na kam-"
"Since the day i met you, Izana. You already have my blessings." Tito Dad said.
I looked at him and he smiled at me. "Ang gusto ko lang. Alagaan mo yung anak ko. Alagaan at mahalin mo siya higit pa sa ginawa namin."
One down.
"Me too. Anak, alagaan mo si Y/N. Nung nakaraan ko pa hinihintay 'to dahil kay Emma. I heard you guys talking about stuff like this." Dad said.
Two down.
"Oh my god, my baby. She's getting married na." Tita Mommy said.
"You don't have to ask for our consent kasi alam mo namang payag kami basta ikaw." She said.
"But i really want your consent po muna before planning." I replied.
She smiled sweetly at me. "Anak, you have my blessings din. I'm so glad na ikaw ang pakakasalan niya." Tita Mommy said.
Three down.
I looked at my Mom and she smiled at me. "Well, it's a yes for me. You can marry her. Pag si Y/N, payag ako." She said.
Finally, natapos din. I stood up and bowed at them. 90 degrees. "Thank you so much po! I promise to love her for my whole life."
End of Flashback
That's the conversation i had with our parents and I remember na yung mga sinabi nila Rindou that day.
Nagtatampo pa sila dahil hindi sila kasama sa dinner date. They're busy kasi that time.
Flashbacks
I was sitting beside my woman pero biglang dumating sila Rindou. "Izana, can we talk to you?" Rindou asked.
"Sure." I replied at nagpaalam muna kay Y/N.
"I heard magpopropose ka na. Sino nagsabing pumapayag kami?" Sabi ni Ran.
"Kahit hindi kayo pumayag, pumayag naman mga magulang niya." Sagot ko sa kanila.
"May free flight ba pag pinayagan ka namin mag propose?" Rindou asked.
"Pero seryoso." Ran started. "Mahal na mahal ko yang pinsan namin. Susuntukin talaga kita pag umiyak yan."
"Hindi na iiyak yan." I replied.
"Iiyak yan sa honeymoo- Aray!" Rindou said dahil sabay namin siyang binatukan ni Ran.
"Alagaan mo yan. Mahalin mo. Higit pa dapat samin." Rindou said.
"Bugbugin kita pag hindi mo inayos pag aalaga jan. Ay oo nga pala, gusto ko lalaki yung una niyong maging anak." Dagdag pa ni Rindou.
"BABAE DAPAT! I'LL SPOIL HER!" Sabi ni Ran.
Natawa na lang ako dahil nag aaway sila magkapatid. I bowed at them. "Thank you Ran and Rindou. I promise to take care of her. I will forever cherish her." I replied.
End of Flashbacks
I'm wearing a black suit. They also curled my hair. Someone knocked on the door kaya agad na pinagbuksan ng mga stylist. "EY TANGINA POGI!" Sabi agad ni Rindou.
"Hello, hindi pa ba magsstart?" I asked.
"Chill ka lang, boss. Mukha kang natatatae e. Wag ka kabahan, mag i-i do rin naman pinsan ko." Ran replied.
"Grabe 'no. Parang dati sa wedding booth lang kayo nagpakasal. Akalain mo nga namang mapupunta tayo sa wedding church." Kakucho said.
"True. End game na talaga." Koko replied.
I looked at Rindou. "Ikaw, kailan ka?"
"Secret walang clue." He replied.
Biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok sila Mikey. "Naknampucha, kagwapo naman!" Shinichiro said.
"Uy wow, sana ol." Mikey said.
"Pakasal na kasi." I teased him.
"Hagis mo nga sa 'kin yung garter mamaya." Utos niya.
"Sure, tapos papahagis ko banda sa kanya yung flower bouquet." Sagot ko naman.
"YAN! JAN TAYO MAGKAKASUNDO!" He said.
"Hoy, inamo. Alagaan mo 'yon ah!" Rindou said.
"Oo inamo! Pakakasalan ko na. Aangkinin ko na." Sabi ni Mikey.
"Ikaw Rindou, kailan mo ba aayain?" Kakucho teased.
"Tanong mo muna kung nasa good terms kami. Ayaw sabihin na anak ko 'yon eh kita namang minana sa 'kin yung kagwapuhan pucha." Pagkekwento niya.
"Taray taguan pala ng anak ang nais." Sabi ni Sanzu.
Si Sanzu? He's also engaged. Hindi pa alam when kasal. "Gago Rindou, pa dna test mo. Kay Y/N mo agad ilakad." Sabi ni Koko.
"Beh, nagawa ko na talaga. Hindi pa binibigay ni Y/N yung results." He replied.
Agad silang umalis at pumalit naman sila Baji. "Uy bossing! Ikakasal ka na sheeesh!" Baji said.
"Alagaan mo siya ah. Boss madam namin 'yon. Sasapakin ka talaga namin pag umiyak 'yon." Hanma said.
"Ako bahala sa boss madam niyo."
Sumaglit lang sila at sila Emma na ang next. "HI MY DEAR KUYA!" Maingay na bungad niya.
I saw Mikey's ex na kasama ni Emma. "Hi, buti naka attend ka." I said.
"I can't miss her wedding. Baka magtampo." She replied. "Congratulations."
"Thank you. Kayo ni Mikey, kailan?"
Agad siyang nasamid. "Kidding. Pero i hope you have already fixed your relationship with him."
"Izana, alam mo ba ganda ng shota mo!" Senju said.
"Ang hot! Chika babes!!" Sabi pa ni Hina.
Natawa na lang ako sa mga sinasabi nila. I mean, she's pretty naman palagi. Hindi na ako nagulat doon but i want to see her wearing her dream wedding dress.
"Kuya, i'm happy." Emma said.
I looked at her. "For what?"
"Masaya lang ako kasi ikakasal kayo ni Y/N. Ang dami niyong pinagdaanan pero mauuwi rin pala kayo dito." She replied.
I chuckled and patted her head. "Ako talaga end game niya." Sagot ko sa kanya. "I heard na nagpunta ka sa hospital. Are you okay?"
She blushed. "Yes na yes, kuya."
"Sige, kwento mo yan." Sagot mo sa kanya.
Nagpaalam din sila agad at naiwan kami ni Uno sa kwarto. "Tagal naman magstart." Bulong ko.
I waited for an hour at pinasundo na nila ako. This is it and i'm so fucking nervous.
I arrived at the church and i saw my friends na nagtatawanan pa. "Gago pre, nawawala butones nung polo mo." Sabi ni Baji kay Hanma.
"Tanga, ganyan talaga pag pogi." Hanma replied.
"Nasa simbahan tayo, masama magsinungaling." Sabi ni Rindou.
I opened the door at agad na ngumiti ang mga kaibigan namin. "ANAKNAMPUCHA NAPAKA GWAPO NGA!" Sabi nila Wakasa.
"Kung wala lang tayo sa simbahan baka sinakal na kita." Sagot ko while fixing my sleeves.
"Pogi ni Uno." Sabi ni Benkei at nilapitan naman ang aso na nasa tabi ko. Kilala na ni Uno mga friends namin kaya hindi siya natahol and he's a very good dog.
Nag start na agad sa pagtatake ng mga pictures with our family, friends, and even visitors. I also gave some presents sa family ko. Ang tagal mag start kanina pa ako naiinip.
I sat on a chair habang yung mga kaibigan ko ay nasa likuran lang. Uno came with a cute small box. "Thank you, baby." I said at kinuha ang box na nakasabit sa leeg niya.
I slowly opened the box and it's a silver watch. May letter pa nga. "Uy sweet." Sabi nila Baji.
"I know naman na hindi ka nagwe wear ng mga watch pero alam ko rin na pag ako nagbigay, susuotin mo. Joke lang, mahal. Wear this watch, okay? I love you, see you." Pagbasa ko sa letter at nagtawanan pa sila Mikey.
"Lakas talaga ng amats ni madam." Sabi ni Mikey.
The organizer came at nag start na kami i-assist. The Wedding Entourage Walk. "Well, good luck?" Ran said.
"Thank you, Ran." I replied.
"I'm watching you, Izana." Rindou said.
"Where's the boss and captain?" Tanong ko.
"Walang ganon. Serious mode muna tayo." He replied.
I waited for them na matapos sa paglalakad papunta sa kanya kanyang pwesto. I really love my friends. Sila nasa likuran ko when we broke up. They gave me strength to achieve my dreams. Pag pasuko na ako, ipapaalala nila sa 'kin na may babalikan pa ako and that's her. My woman.
I watched my parents walk in the aisle. Ito na talaga. Totoo na talaga. Legit na. Real na real.
When they reached the end, i slowly walked in the aisle while looking at my parents and also friends. "Thank you, Lord." I whispered.
Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya for bringing her back to me. When i reached my parents, agad akong nagmano at nagbeso. They look so proud and happy.
I watched the other visitors walk in the aisle. Natawa pa ako when i saw Mikey and his ex. I don't even know kung nagcomeback ba sila or what.
Shinichiro tapped my shoulders when the door closed. "Ayan na." Bulong niya.
"I'm nervous." I whispered.
"Wag ka kabahan tanga." Sabi ni Emma.
Huminga ako ng malalim and watched the door slowly opened. I can see a glimpse of her dress. Fuck, she's here na.
I bit my lower lip when i saw her wearing her dream wedding dress. She's so gorgeous. It's an off shoulder wedding gown. She let her wavy hair down. Kahit na nasa malayo ay kitang kita ko ang ngiti niya.
Di makapaniwala, nandito na ang hiling kay Bathala
She slowly walked kasama ang mga magulang niya. She's finally here. I can't wait to marry her. Can she just walk faster na lang?
Nandito ka na, di na ako mag iisa
Y/N L/N, my best friend. My soulmate, my first, last, and greatest love. I really can't wait to build a family with you, mahal.
Tanong ko sa tala ay "Bakit pag ibig na bigay ay langit?"
"My pretty Y/N!" Mom said.
"She's so gorgeous." Dad whispered.
Nandito ka na, di na ako mag iisa
My eyes are only for her. Simula noon pa man hanggang ngayon. I don't even know kung 6 years ba talaga kaming hiwalay but as far as i remember, hindi ko naman sinabi na hiwalay kami. We just took a break. A break from everything.
Ngiti mo sa aking mga mata
Inside those years na wala siya sa tabi ko. Siya lang iniisip ko. Bago matulog kahit sa paggising. I always messaged her friends kung okay lang ba siya. Kung kumakain siya on time. If ever man na hindi, lagi akong nagpapadeliver ng mga foods at hindi nila sinasabi na galing sa 'kin.
Di hahayaang mawala
Hindi ko naman binilang kung ilang taon siya wala sa tabi ko. Mas gusto kong bilangin 'tong mga taon na makakasama ko na siya. Habang buhay.
Tingin mo lang, alam ko nang ikaw na nga
She stopped in front of me. Agad akong nagmano sa mga magulang niya. They smiled at me.
"Alagaan mo yan." Tito said.
"I will, Tito."
Our eyes met. She chuckled and let her tears fall. Agad akong bumeso sa kanya and held her hand. "You're so pretty, mahal."
We went in front of the altar. Parang dati, si Baji pa yung magkakasal samin pero ngayon totoong pari na.
The wedding ceremony starts. I breathe heavily and listen carefully. Flashbacks of our first meeting came.
I remember what my Mom said, pag kami talaga. Kami na talaga. Walang hahadlang.
Paper Rings. It serves as our love and loyalty for each other. I still remember the day when we exchanged our rings.
We unexpectedly met again during junior high school days pero laging masama ang tingin niya sa 'kin because we're rivals.
We team up sa SC Campaign. Napilitan pa nga siya pero okay lang. Nung 4th year na kami, naging magkaklase kami.
Our secret code names for each other, roadtrips, sleep calls, late night talks, and syempre yung nag aaral kami na sabay.
Our quiz bee is one of my favorites. It's the second time na naging magkakampi kami. That day is also the day na nag sink in sa 'kin na nahuhulog ako. Sobrang hulog na.
I need to tell her how much i love her.. but words aren't enough to express my thoughts about her.
Hindi sapat ang mga salita para masabi ko kung gaano ko siya kamahal.
Even the 5 love languages are not enough to justify my love for her.
I love her so much. Too much.
I held her hand and helped her to stand up. "Thank you, love." She said.
"My pleasure."
"Izana Kurokawa, Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?" Father said.
"Yes, i always do."
"Y/N L/N, Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, to love, honor and obey, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?"
I looked at her and she's smiling at me. "Pag isipan ko po, joke lang." She said.
I pouted. "Love."
She chuckled. "Yes, i do po." She replied.
"I Izana, take you Y/N, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, I promise to love and cherish you in my whole life."
Her turn. I noticed her na she's shaking kaya natawa ako.
"I Y/N, take you Izana, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, I promise to love and cherish you."
Rings. Wedding Rings. I finally faced her. Nanginginig na kinuha ko ang mic and stared at her eyes. I held her hand and gently caressed it. "Mahal, i'm sorry. I didn't prepare any vows, hindi ako kasing prepared mo." I said and looked at her hand na hawak ang phone niya.
"It's okay." She said.
"I love you." I started.
"We've been through so much, mahal." I said. "From being strangers to academic rivals. From academic rivals to friends. From friends to lovers. And now, from lovers to unconditional partners. Hindi naging madali para satin lahat pero kinaya natin."
Her tears fall as she smiles.
"Countless break ups and comebacks pero nauwi tayo sa tunay na hiwalayan but look at us now. We're here in front of our friends and family, one step closer to our dreams."
Her hazel eyes look so pretty kahit na umiiyak siya.
"I will always thanked God kasi binigyan niya ako ng isang babae na mamahalin ko habang buhay. Akalain mo nga naman ng dahil lang sa isang papel na singsing, my whole life will change."
"I love you so much." She said.
"You're my sanity in this cruel world, mahal. I love you. I love you until we both reach the end of our lives, mahal. No, scratch that.. i will always love you hanggang sa susunod na buhay. I love you always in all ways."
"Thank you, mahal. Thank you for loving me. I promise to love and take care of you. I promise to stay by your side through good and bad times. Words aren't enough to justify how much i love you."
She held the mic para mahawakan ko ang kamay niya at ang singsing. "From Paper Rings to Engagement Rings. From Engagement Rings to Wedding Rings." I started.
"I give you this ring as a sign of our love for and commitment to each other. I promise to support you, care for you, and stand alongside you for all of our days." I said and placed the ring on her ring finger.
It's her turn. Kanina pa siya naiyak pero maganda pa rin talaga siya. I can't wait to kiss her pink lips.
"Love, hindi ko talaga alam sasabihin ko." She started kaya nagtawanan sila Baji.
"Ano yan props lang?" Tanong ko sa kanya and looked at her phone.
"Oo HAHAHA." She replied.
Napailing na lang ako and she sighed heavily. "Mahal kita." She started.
"Mahal, i never really thought na ikakasal ako. Lalo na ngayon na we're both busy in our job pero you still keep your promise." She said.
I smiled at her.
"Thank you for loving me. Thank you for respecting my decision. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for being my best friend, my favorite kachikahan, and my everything. Wala naman na akong hihilingin pa kasi masaya na ako na ikaw yung makakasama ko habang buhay." She continued and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry sa mga pagkukulang ko. I'm sorry kung masyado akong makuli-"
"Shh.. you're enough. Walang kulang sayo." I said.
"You're my safest place, mahal." She said.
I held the mic and she held my hand naman. "Thank you for marrying me, my love. From wedding booth to wedding church. From Paper Rings to Wedding Rings."
"I give you this ring as a sign of our love for and commitment to each other. I promise to support you, care for you, and stand alongside you for all of our days." She said and put the ring on my ring finger.
"Izana Kurokawa and Y/N L/N through their words today, have joined together in holy wedlock." Father said. "Because they have exchanged their vows before God and these witnesses, have pledged their commitment to each other, and have declared the same by joining hands and by exchanging rings, I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"
Saktong pagharap niya sa 'kin. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer. I crashed my lips on her kasabay ang pagtugtog ng musika at palakpakan ng mga bisita.
Ngiti mo sa aking mga mata
Di hahayaang mawala
Tingin mo lang alam ko nang ikaw
Ikaw na nga
Pag-ibig na nais ko
Sa tuwina hindi na bibitaw
Pangalan mo ang isisigaw
She responded sa kiss that made me smile. Dahan dahan akong huminto and stared at her eyes. I smiled at her and wiped her tears. "I love you so much."
"I love you more, mahal." She replied and kissed my lips.
After wedding, dumiretso kami sa reception. Nakita ko pa sila Rindou na nag uumpisa na magpaka dj. Tinanggalan ba naman ng trabaho yung hinire namin.
Ang daming ganap agad. Pagkapasok namin they started playing our pre nup videos. Messages from sponsors and what so ever.
My wife already danced with her father. "Love, pagdating sa garter toss. Ihagis mo agad kay Mikey." She whispered.
"Ihagis mo sa ex niya yung flower bouquet." Sagot ko sa kanya.
She smirked at me. "Deal!" Sabi niya pa at nagshake hands pa kami.
Agad kaming pinatawag kasi magsasayaw pa kami. I held her hand at dumiretso kami sa center. "PWEDE BA JUMBO HOTDOG PATUGTUGIN!?" Rindou asked.
"Beh, mag shut the fuck up ka jan. Kaya ka hindi kinakausap. Tarantado ka." Sabi ni Ran.
Y/N wrapped her arms around my neck and i put my hands on her waist. Daylight by Taylor Swift started playing.
We slowly dance while staring at each other's eyes. "Thank you, mahal." She said.
"Hmm? For what?"
"For marrying me." She replied.
"Kahit naman mag no ka sa 'kin, susuyuin pa rin kita para pakasalan mo ako." Sagot ko sa kanya.
"Eh nag yes ako." She said.
I smiled at her. "I love you, Y/N."
"I love you more, hubby!" She replied that made me blush. Tangina. Ang cute.
"Pero love. Thank you. Like legit. Real na real, hindi fake. Hindi ko alam paano ko ie-express 'to basta i'm super happy right now." She said.
I pinched her cheeks. "Kiss me na lang para ma express mo."
She playfully punched my chest. "Tama ka na beh, quota ka na."
"Ilang kids ulit want mo?" She asked.
"Kung ilan kaya mo. Kung pwede nga, wag na. Ayaw kita makitang nahihirapan." Sagot ko sa kanya.
She cupped my cheeks. "That's the best gift kaya sa atin lalo na married na tayo."
I held her hand. "Yes, that's our best gift but i don't want to see you na ganyan na nahihirapan. Sa mens mo pa nga lang nagpapanic na ako. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko."
Natawa na lang siya and hugged me. "Hays, mahal talaga kita. Sobra."
"I love you so much, wife." I whispered.
Kung ano ano pang mga pakana ang nilapag ng host. Nakapag cake cutting na rin kami and dinner na.
Kaliwa't kanang mga bisita ang lumalapit samin just to greet us. Nagulat pa nga si Y/N when she saw Rindou's partner kasama ang cute na batang lalaki. The kid really looks like him. Sa mata pa lang, alam mong si Rindou na ang ama.
"Hi, congratulations." The girl said.
"Thank you, is that him?" Y/N said and looked at the shy little boy.
Agad siyang umupo para pantayan ang height nito. "Hi, what's your name?"
"Rin. His nickname is Rin." The girl said.
Nag usap lang sila saglit at agad na dumiretso sa table nila. "That boy looks exactly like Rindou." I said.
"Hays, lakas masyado ni Rindou." She replied.
Agad na lumapit sila Baji samin. "Hays. Wala pa tayong picture. KAMI NA 'TO OH! SECTION UNO NA 'TO!" Sabi niya.
"Beh, mamaya talaga tayo magmo moment. Hindi pa keribels ngayon daming visitors." Sabi ni Y/N.
"Isang picture lang pang ig story oh." Sabi ni Ryusei.
"Sige na nga." I replied at agad silang pumwesto.
Nagpicture na kami at agad silang bumalik sa kani kanilang table. Nadapa pa nga si Hanma. Tanga.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS YOU'RE ENJOYING YOUR DINNER, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE COUPLE'S PICTURES GROWING UP. A GLIMPSE OF THEIR LIVES BEFORE THEY FOUND EACH OTHER, AND HOW THEY'VE TRANSFORMED AND BLOSSOMED TO WHO THEY ARE NOW.
FRIENDS, THE GROWING UP VIDEO!" Energetic na sabi nung isang host. Dami niyang energy ah.
Our photos started flashing on the big screen. "HAHAHAHA uy yung lowkey moments nila!" Sabi ni Emma.
It's our photo na nasa library kami. Nagbabasa ako ng libro habang siya may sinusulat and magkahati pa kami sa iisang earphones.
"DABEST YUNG SA WEDDING BOOTH! FROM FOREHEAD KISS TO KISS SA LIPS HAHAHAHAHA!" Tawanan nila Sanzu.
Kada lumilipat sa picture inaasar kami ng mga friends namin which is okay lang naman.
After dinner, nagstart na sila sa mga messages and turn na ng mga friends namin. "Sino magvo volunteer sa circle niyo?" The host asked.
"ITABI NIYO, AKO NA!" Sabi ni Hanma.
"TANGA, AKO!" Sabi ni Baji.
"AKO NA! MGA WALA KAYONG KWENTA!" Sanzu said.
Tawa lang nang tawa sila Emma. "Si Ran dapat kasi mas close siya sa dalawa." Sabi ni Koko.
"No sis, lahat na lang tayo magsasalita para quits." Sabi ni Takemichi.
"TAG 30 SECONDS TAYO ANO!?" Sabi ni Chifuyu.
"BEH AKO NA KASI SABI NGA VOLUNTEER DIBA!?" Sabi ni Mikey.
"KUKULIT NIYO AKO NA!" Sabi ni Kakucho at tumayo.
"WOOOOOH BAKA KAKUCHO BEBELOVES NAMIN YAN!" Cheer nila Sanzu.
"Hello boss and boss madam." Kakucho said.
"Simula elementary hanggang ngayon, nakasubaybay ako sa lovelife niyo kaya nga nung naghiwalay kayo nalungkot din ako. Kasi dahil sa inyo, naniwala ako sa pagmamahal. Na meron pa palang pagmamahal na tutulungan ka mag grow." He said.
"I'm so happy to see you guys na kinasal sa isa't isa. Akala ko hanggang wedding booth lang pero end game na talaga." He continued.
"Wala naman na akong sasabihin pa. Basta mahal ko kayo pareho. Congrats! Proud kami sa inyo!" He said at lumapit para yakapin si Y/N.
Nagfist bump lang kami. "Thank you."
"Kami naman nung laloves ko next." Kakucho said that made my eyes widened.
"Weh?"
"Omsim, kwento ko sayo mamaya." Sagot niya.
Sunod na tumayo ay si Ran. He keeps on talking non sense things about sa relationship namin ng pinsan niya. "Minsan nagcu cuddle pa sila sa harapan ko kaya ginagawa ko nagce cellphone na lang ako hahaha." He said.
"Pero hanga rin ako sa kanila. Despite everything na nangyari sa kanila, umuwi pa rin sila sa isa't isa. Tama nga si Tita Mommy, pag kayo. Kayo talaga. Pagtatagpuin at pagtatagpuin kayo." He continued.
"On behalf of Section Uno, i just want to say thank you for being our Mom and Dad sa circle. Mahal namin kayo hanggang dulo."
I saw my wife tearing up at niyakap agad si Ran. "Inamo beh bakit mo naman nilalaglag ang pagcu cuddle namin?" She whispered.
"At least alam na nila." Bulong ni Ran.
Ran looked at me. "Alagaan mo yan." He said.
"Lagi naman." Sagot ko sa kanya.
One of my wife's close friends stood up. Yung ex ni Mikey. "Congrats madam and Izana." She said.
She sighed heavily and looked at my wife. She started telling a story how she met my wife at kung paano niya nasubaybayan love story namin.
Nasubaybayan ko rin naman love story nila ni Mikey. It was painful. I mean, every different form of love is painful. "Because of you, i learned how to love. I learned how to open up my heart for someone." She said.
"I always wanted that kind of love na meron kayo. A love that makes you feel safe, strong, and home. A love that brings peace. A love that is unconditional." She continued.
Her tears fall while staring at my wife. "To be loved and to be in love is such a dream. Sana wala na kayong mga away na magdudulot sa hiwalayan because seeing you guys in that kind of situation ay sobrang masakit."
"I love you, Y/N. I'm happy for you." She said at yumakap sa asawa ko.
"I love you more. Comeback na kasi." Bulong ng asawa ko.
Natawa lang siya. "Congrats, Izana. Paki alagaan na yang laloves ko."
After ng mga messages ay bouquet throw and garter toss na. "Okay, now let us all have some fun and its time for the Traditional Bouquet Throw. At this point we would like to request all the single ladies to please come forward for the bouquet throw. We would also like to request the bride to come forward and take her place center stage." The host said.
I saw Emma na pinipilit na tumayo yung ex ni Mikey. "Love, hagis mo banda don sa ex ni Mikey." I whispered.
"Noted mahal!" She said while giggling. Agad siyang dumiretso sa center.
Emma successfully fulfilled her mission. Sila Senju ay nakaupo lang habang nagvi video.
"Ladies, kindly take your place behind the bride and be prepared to catch the bouquet. It is said that whoever will catch the bouquet will soon be the next bride. So is everyone in? Ready when you are at the count of three the bride will throw her bouquet. May I also request the audience to please join me in the counting."
I chuckled when i saw my wife smiling habang hinihintay ang go sign. "1, 2, and 3!"
Y/N threw the bouquet, saktong sakto sa ex ni Mikey. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YUN OH!!" Pagche cheer nila Mitsuya.
"SANA SA GARTER SI MIKEY!" Sigaw ni Baji.
"UY MANAHIMIK KA BAKA SAPAKIN KITA!" Mikey replied.
Agad na naglagay ng upuan sa gitna. Y/N sat on the chair habang ako ay nakaluhod. "HALA GUSTO KO GAMIT BIBIG YUNG PAGTANGGAL!" Sabi ni Senju.
"Tama ka na beh!" Sabi nila Sanzu.
"Oo tama yan! Kasal na!" Sabi nila Draken.
"GAME NA!!!" Sigaw ng Section Uno.
My eyes widened when Rindou played Jumbo Hotdog. "UY GAGI FAVE KO!!" Sabi nila Baji kaya nagsipag tayuan silang lahat.
"Sumabay ka na lang, wag kang mahihiya. Sige, subukan mo. Baka may mapala!" Pagkanta nila.
"Walang mawawala kapag nagtiya-tiyaga!" Kanta ni Mikey at sinayawan pa ako. My eyebrows furrowed at si Y/N ay nakatayo na kasama sila Emma.
I sighed heavily and started dancing with them. "KUNG GUSTONG GUSTO MO, SUNDAN MO LANG AKO!"
"1, 2, 3, 4!"
"Jumbo Hotdog kaya mo ba 'to? Kaya mo ba 'to? Kaya mo ba 'to?"
I looked at our friends at palong palo sila kumaldag lalo na sila Baji partida wala pang alak.
"JUMBO HOTDOG KAYA MO BA 'TO? KAYA MO BA 'TO? KAYA MO BA 'TO?"
"TANGINA PATAASAN KALDAG!" Sabi ni Hanma.
"HINDI KAMI BATO PARA MAGPATALO!"
After dancing with them, nagstart na sa garter retrieval. I kneeled down and looked at my wife for consent. She just gave me a smile and i immediately went under her gown.
I use my mouth to retrieve the garter and i sucessfully did it. Kagat kagat ko ang garter pagtayo kaya nagpalakpakan sila Shinichiro. "SANAY NA SANAY BOSSING!!"
Pinapwesto naman na agad sila Mikey sa likuran and without hesitation, i threw the garter sa place ni Mikey kaya nakuha niya agad.
"YUN OH! SHEEEET!"
Agad kaming nag apir ni Y/N and watched our friends na magsayaw sa gitna. Sana gamitin ni Mikey 'to para makipag ayos.
The night ended with our visitors leaving the venue. Kami na lang magkakaibigan ang natira. We're here sa rooftop.
"Do you still remember nung high school tayo? Nag aaway pa si Y/N tas Izana pero tignan mo in love na in love sa isa't isa." Seishu said.
"May pag love is only for losers shit pa." Dagdag ni Kakucho.
"Time really flies so fast 'no? Dati, we're just dreaming of something na akala natin hindi natin matutupad pero look at us now? We're successful and happy." Koko said and sipped on his drink.
I looked at my wife and she's talking to her girlfriends. "We're just a bunch of youth who loves to dream pero mga successful na tayo." Sabi ni Rindou.
"Pero seryoso, kung wala kayo. Wala siguro ako dito sa narating ko." Sabi ni Ran. "Kayo strength ko e."
"Akalain mo nga naman. Through good and bad times tayo tayo lang magkakasama." Mikey said.
"Well, safe place natin isa't isa." Draken said.
"Buti nga walang humiwalay sa circle natin." Sabi naman ni Sanzu.
"Ikaw ba naman bantaan ni Y/N na pasasabugin buong bahay niyo di ka matatakot?" Baji said kaya nagtawanan kami.
"ANO NA NAMAN!? NARIRINIG KO NA NAMAN PANGALAN KO!?" My wife said.
"WALA, SABI NAMIN WAG KAYO MAGSOLO JAN SUMAMA KAYO DITO!" Sagot ni Baji.
Agad na lumapit sila Emma. My wife stood beside me. Lahat kami ay nakatingin lang sa city lights.
"Dito na ba matatapos?" Tanong ni Ryusei.
"Hindi pa siguro." Sagot ni Chifuyu.
"Sa totoo lang, i'd never imagine na magiging ganto kasaya buhay ko lalo na nung nakilala ko kayo." Sabi ni Senju.
"You guys are my happiness." Senju said.
"To more years with you, mga mahal." Y/N whispered.
"To more years with you, Boss Madam!" Sabay sabay na sambit namin.
Agad kaming nagform ng circle. We looked at each other's eyes. "We'll see each other again, right?" Y/N asked.
"Oo naman." Sagot nila Baji.
"Thank you for attending our wedding. Thank you, Section Uno." She said.
"Dating gawi?" Sabi ni Mikey and put his hand sa center.
Sunod sunod naming pinatong ang aming mga kamay. "Section Uno?" I asked.
"Mananatili hanggang dulo!" Sabay sabay na sambit nila.
"AGAIN, SECTION UNO!?"
"HANGGANG DULO!"
Our night ended with full of laughters and tears. Without them, my whole life will always be boring.
They're my light and happiness. I will always keep on choosing them katulad sa pagpili ko kay Y/N sa araw araw. Mahal ko sila higit sa pagmamahal na binibigay nila sa 'kin.. saming dalawa ni Y/N.
I wrapped my arm around my wife's waist. "Hi. Are you happy?"
"Sobra mahal. Sobra pa sa sobra." She replied and hugged me. She rested her head on my chest.
"It feels like a dream." She whispered. "Everything feels like a dream."
I chuckled and caressed her hair. "Totoo lahat, mahal."
"Are you happy?" She asked.
"Sobra." Sagot ko sa kanya. "Mahal na mahal kita."
She looked up to me. "To more years with you, mahal."
"To more years with you, wife." I said and kissed her lips.
I smiled when the whole night sky started to light up because of the fireworks.
From Paper Rings to Engagement Rings. From Engagement Rings to Wedding Rings.
She's now my wife, end game, and my Doctor.
It's official at wala na silang magagawa.
I'm a loser for her love. She's my daylight, achilles heel, safest place, sanity, and home in this world.
Once again, this is Izana Kurokawa. Her Captain, Best friend and also Husband.
