Their wedding song.🖕😍🤗💛
Play it when you reach the scene of their wedding. Enjoy reading!😘
"T-TAKE CARE of my daughter, please. A-Alagaan mo siyang mabuti a-at alalayan mo siya. P-Please." That was the last words I heard from Krystal's mother before she died.
Krystal was unconscious that time. Dumating ang mga pulis to rescue us. It was my grandmother who reported the abduction.
Krystal woke up without remembering anything. I investigated her situation and it was said that it's a psychological problem and her trauma. Her mind chose to forget anything that happened. She forget about me.
Ang pangako nitong ako ang pakakasalan nito at sa akin titibok ang puso nito ay nakalimutan ng isip nito. But when she first saw me again after few years, noong pumunta ito sa condo ko, sa mismong elevator ay sinabi nitong panagutan ko ang puso nito pagkatapos ko itong halikan.
Maybe her mind don't remember me or it was just a coincidence that she fall for me. O talagang sa akin lang talaga ito nakalaan sa kabila ng lahat.
I was her stalker for so many years. Simula noong bumalik ito ng pag-aaral ng elementary. Noong nag-aral ito ng high school hanggang sa nakatapos ito ng college, I was there always. I was secretly following her.
She became a secret agent and I decided to follow her. I became a secret agent because of her. Because I want to be near her. Kahit hindi nito alam, binabantayan ko ito ng palihim.
But things got worst when her feelings for me got deeper. She keeps confessing that she likes me and I kept pushing her away. I kept hurting her because I thought it was for her own good.
Pero habang tinutulak ko ito papalayo ay ako lang ang mas nahihirapan. I was trying my best not to fall for her but it was really too late. I fall deep and hard. She was my first love that I'm dreaming to marry someday.
Gustong-gusto ko itong abutin pero hindi ko magawa dahil marami akong rason para magpigil. Una ay ang ginawa ko sa Mommy nito at pangalawa ay ang wala akong kakayahang mabigyan ito ng buo at masayang pamilya. Pinapangarap ko ito pero tila napakahirap nitong abutin. Naunahan ako ng takot na baka magalit ito kapag naalala ako. Natakot ako na baka kamuhian ako nito.
Ang takot kong iyon ay mas pinalala ang sitwasyon. Nasaktan ko ito, both emotionally and physically. Ang ginawa kong pananakit kay Krystal ay hindi ko kailanman makakalimutan. Habang-buhay ko iyong dadalhin sa konsensya ko. At hindi ko masisisi si Phyton kung nagalit ito sa akin.
Napapikit ako nang maramdamang may yumakap sa akin mula sa likod.
Pumihit ako paharap at nginitian ang fiancee ko.
"Mukhang malalim ang iniisip mo. Iniisip mo ba kung paanong umatras sa kasal?" Pabirong tanong nito.
I chuckled. Mahina kong pinisil ang matangos na ilong nito.
"Magkakamatayan na pero hinding-hindi ako aatras sa kasal natin, Krystal." Usal ko at hinalikan ito sa noo.
"I know. Mahal na mahal mo ako, eh." Anito at dinampian ako ng halik sa mga labi.
"The moment your lips pressed to mine, I really want to make love to you. Inaatake na naman ako ng ka-horniacan ko." Pilyong usal ko.
Ngumiti si Krystal at pinisil ang pisngi ko.
"Sobrang horniac mo kasi." Anito at mas lalong lumapad ang ngiti.
Tinitigan ko itong mabuti. She looked radiant and blooming. Sa halos dalawang buwan na buntis ito ay mas lalo itong gumaganda sa paningin ko.
Umangat ang kamay ko at hinaplos ang makinis na pisngi nito.
"I'm sorry for hurting you, Krystal. Hindi ko dapat ginawa 'yon. Pinagbuhatan kita ng kamay. Hindi kita nirespeto at-" I couldn't finish what I want to say when she leaned in and kiss me on the lips.
"I told you, let's forget the past and move on, Jas. Mag-uumpisa tayo ng panibago, hindi ba? Mag-uumpisa tayo ng bago kasama ang anak natin." Anito at bumaba ang tingin sa tiyan nito.
Hinaplos ko ang medyo maumbok ng tiyan nito at niyakap si Krystal ng mahigpit. Maybe she forgave me but I still can't forgive myself for hurting her back then.
"Just always remember that I love you so much, Krystal." I murmured.
And I promise that I will never hurt you again.
Tumango ito.
"I'll keep that in mind, Jas." She said and hugged me back.
I kissed her temple and smiled. I can't wait for the day that I'll call her my wife. And it will happen the day after tomorrow. Ilang araw na lang at magiging asawa ko na ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko.
***
I SMILED as I look at the big church in front of me. Ito na ang araw na pinakahihintay ko. Sa wakas ay papakasalan ko na ang lalaking mahal ko.
Napapangiti ako habang bumabalik sa isip ko ang mga salitang binitawan ko noon kay Jastin. Na ito lang ang papakasalan at mamahalin ko.
"Dahan-dahan lang." Sambit ni Sharmaine habang inaaalalayan ako sa suot kong wedding gown.
I was wearing an off-shoulder bridal gown. It looks simple but elegant. Sinadyang kinulot at nakalugay ang buhok ko. Thankfully, hindi pa masyadong halata ang umbok ng tiyan ko sa kabila ng suot ko.
I look at Sharmaine.
"Thank you dahil pumayag kang maging bridesmaid ko." Nakangiting usal ko.
"What can I do? Ako na lang ang single sa inyo." Kunwari ay nagrereklamo ito.
Napangiti ako at napailing.
"Pikutin mo na lang si Rein. Gapangin mo tutal nasa iisang bubong naman kayo nakatira." Pilyang usal ko.
Mahina ako nitong sinabunutan.
"Gaga ka talaga. Ano siya sinusuwerte? I'm virgin and tight as hell. Ang suwerte naman niya kapag nakuha niya ang napakagandang katawan ko." Pagmamayabang nito.
Mahina akong natawa.
"Mapipisa ka din, trust me." Natatawang usal ko at ito ay pinanlakihan ako nito ng mga mata.
"Ikaw, simula ng napisa ka kung anu-ano ng lumalabas diyan sa bibig mo. Ilubog kaya kita sa drum na maraming tubig?" Masungit na sambit nito.
"I'm your friend and you can't do that to me. Gawin mo na lang sa mga babaeng umaaligid diyan sa kuya mo." Sambit ko na mas pinagdiinan ang salitang kuya.
Gigil na iniwan ako nito at nauna ng naglakad papasok sa simbahan. Asar na asar talaga ito kapag si Rein na ang topic.
"Are you ready?" Nilingon ko si Tita Kyle na siyang maghahatid sa'kin sa altar.
Matamis ko itong nginitian.
"Tita, thank you for being with me all these years. Kahit pinalabas mong namatay si Mommy dahil sa aksidente." Kunwaring natatampong sambit ko.
Mahina lang itong natawa.
"Let me remind you na ikaw mismo ang nakalimot, Krys. But I'm happy that you're okay now. May tiwala ako sa mapapangasawa mo so be happy, okay?" Anito at hinalikan ako sa pinsgi.
"Maraming salamat sa lahat, Tita. You guided me and never leave me all these years." Nakangiting usal ko.
She just tapped my shoulder and guided me towards the door of the big church in front of us.
At sa pag-apak ng mga paa ko sa red carpet ay ang pagtugtog ng wedding song.
The Gift by Jim Brickman.
Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on like a fairy tale come true Sittin' by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone and baby I found you And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart You gave your love away And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
I smiled as I looked at Jastin whose waiting for me at the altar. Titig na titig ito sa akin habang naglalakad ako patungo sa altar. Ang mga tingin ay tila sinasabi nito na ako lang ang pinakamagandang babae sa paningin nito.
Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment if all of time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us gray
But baby in my eyes you'll still be beautiful
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
Can't find the words to say
Thank you for the gift
Narating ko ang altar ng may luha sa mga mata. Nagmano si Jastin sa Tita ko at kaagad akong hinarap. Pinunasan nito ang mga luha ko gamit ang mga daliri.
"Iyakin talaga ang mga buntis." Natatawang usal nito.
"Buntis ka din?" Pang-aasar ko nang makita ang ilang butil ng luha sa pisngi nito.
Mahina itong natawa at hinalikan ako sa noo.
"You looked so stunning, hot and very beautiful. You're the best gift I've ever received, Krystal." Buong paghanga ako nitong tinignan.
I smiled and whispered I love you to him. Grandma and Tita kissed me on the cheeks and wished us happiness and full of love. Katakot-takot na paalala ang binitawan ng mga ito kay Jastin.
Inumpisahan ng pari ang seremonya ng kasal at nang nasa parte na kami ng mga vows namin ay pareho kaming nagkangitian ni Jastin.
Buong pagmamahal itong humarap sa akin.
"My beloved Krystal, since we have been together you have made me feel more complete, more alive and have shown me the true meaning of happiness. You made me a better person. You made me feel comfortable whenever you're near. It was you who keeps me sane." He started and smiled.
"Thank you for loving me and thank you for not giving up on me completely. And in front of you, in front of our family and friends, I choose you to be my wife that I will love, respect and cherish for the rest of my life. I love you so much, Krystal. You will always be the best part of my days. I love you with all my heart and soul." He said with so much love in his eyes.
Napangiti ako nang pinasok nito ang singsing sa daliri ko at hinalikan ang likod ng palad ko. Diretso ko itong tinignan sa mga mata.
"From this day on, I choose you, to be my husband. To live with you, laugh and cry with you, to stand by your side and to sleep in your arms. I promise to take care of you and you will always be the love of my life, Jastin." I started while looking straight at his eyes.
"I love you so much, Jas. I always do." I smiled at him.
I put the wedding ring on his ring finger and when the priest announced us as husband and wife, Jastin immediately pulled me closer and claimed my lips passionately.
Narinig ko ang palakpakan ng mga kaibigan namin. They congratulated us at bago kami umalis patungong reception ay hinagis ko ang hawak na bridal flower.
At lumapad ang ngiti ko nang makitang si Sharmaine ang nakasalo niyon.
"Congratulations, Sharm. You will be the next bride." Pang-aasar ko at inilapit ko ang bibig sa tenga nito.
"And Rein will be your groom." Bulong ko.
Peke ako nitong nginitian.
"Kung siya lang naman ang groom, I prefer killing him and I won't mind if I will be the next killer bride." Ngumisi ito at nagmartsa patungo sa kotse nito.
Napangiti ako at napailing.
Si Jastin ay lumapit sa akin at hinapit ako sa beywang.
"Hi, wife." He murmured and smiled at me.
Matamis akong napangiti.
"Hey, husband." Tugon ko.
Napakasarap sa pakiramdam at tila hindi kapani-paniwala na mag-asawa na kaming dalawa.
Hinaplos ako nito sa pisngi.
"Let's face our future together, asawa ko. Kakayanin natin 'to. Basta nandito ka lang sa tabi ko. Kayong dalawa ni baby." Wika nito at buong pagmamahal akong hinalikan sa mga labi.
Buong puso kong tinugon ang halik nito.
I couldn't ask for more. Si Jastin lang at ang pagmamahal nito ay sapat na para sa akin. Si Jastin at ang anak namin na nasa sinapupunan ko ang pinakamagandang bagay na nangyari sa buhay ko.
To be continued...
