Singto's already nervous smile began to fade. He is now becoming even more wary that Krist will push him away again.
He looked around and saw the awkward look of their friends and relatives who are witnessing this seemingly scene of rejection.
Krist stared down at his lover, as he cups his partner's hands. He guided Singto to stand up which the latter unconsciously followed, feeling lost and beginning to feel disheartened.
"I don't deserve your plea, Tuan.. For you have already done a lot for me.", Krist uttered, trying to control his emotions.
He took the little red box containing the other ring from his P'Sing's hold and took out the ring from it.
He then, kneeled down and Singto is now the one looking down on him while Krist is gazing back up at Singto.
"I am sorry for giving you constant worry. I'm sorry for being too sensitive. For being an over thinker. For being a baby most of the time. Despite my imperfections, I swear on my life that you are the only one for me. No matter how restless my persona is, with you, I always find peace. So let me be the one to ask you.. Are you willing to be with this imperfect man for the rest of you life?", he asked in between his subtle sobs.
Singto fear immediately went away, he couldn't help but smile at his adorable little turtle who keeps him on his toes most of the time.
"Silly! Yes. I will marry you even a hundred times over.", Singto responded, leaning down and planted a kiss on his lover's lips.
Singto helped him up and embraced him. Their audience are now squealing and screaming in joy. They wore the rings on each other after, as the crowd cheered and congratulated them.
The group of musicians standing by waiting for their cue began to play the wedding march.
Krist just noticed that everything and every person in the venue looked dressed for the occasion. He gasped upon another realization, covering his agaped mouth. His wide eyes looked at his P'Sing as his partner calmly looks back at him.
"We can hold it now or we can postpone it for another time. Whenever you're ready.", Singto uttered, smiling warmly at him.
"Nuh-uh! No way! You can't escape from me from now on. You have to be officially mine this instant.", Krist replied, waving his forefinger in mid air, smirking.
Singto laughed at his lover's possessiveness.
Some hotel attendants approached them with their Tuxedos in their hands.
The attendants helped them put on their Tuxedos while Krist is still floating in the clouds.
The officiator of the wedding ceremony is now standing in front of the altar opposite of them. The guests found their places and sat down quietly.
They watched the two hearts and souls being binded together from this moment and the atmosphere became solemn all the more.
Eveyone present is praying for their continuous success and harmonious union. Most especially their constant happiness.
After the wedding.
Off, Gun, Tay, New, Bright, and Win surrounded the newly wed.
"What the F--, dude?! I thought this is gonna be Tay and New's wedding?", Off exclaimed, teasing the couple.
Singto just laughed since it was all his idea to hold a surprise wedding ceremony.
"Hey! Hey! My wedding will still push through tomorrow. I just allowed them to do it before ours cause these two have always been craving for each other since like they were fetuses.", Tay retorted, teasing the newly weds too.
"Congrats again, P'Sing, P'Krist. Wishing you both all the best.", Bright said, wai'ng at both his seniors, followed by Win whose sitting next to him.
"Come on. Don't be too formal, Nong. You helped me a lot. Thanks to you and Nong Win for bringing our family to witness our special day even I just informed you the last minute.", Singto uttered, patting Bright's shoulder.
"Yes. Thanks to you two. You helped us a lot along the way.", Krist agreed, patting Win's back, smiling warmly at the new couple.
"It's nothing. You two helped us too.", Win replied, looking bashful.
"Amen.", Off butted in, trying to break the solemn atmosphere.
"What's with the serious talk? This is a happy occasion, let's celebrate!", Off continued, holding up his wine glass.
"Papii, don't get drunk. Remember we still have another occasion tomorrow.", Gun reminded him, pacifying his chuckles with his man's silliness.
"Right. I don't like drunk guests on our wedding day.", New agreed, pouting as he put his arms over his friends who are having fun.
"That's why I only requested for wine so y'all wouldn't be drunk today.", Singto explained.
"Aww! No fun.", Off protested.
Everybody looked at the tall handsome lad with a judging look.
"Fineeee... I'll just drink water then.", he conceded, pouting.
He handed his glass containing almost half of red wine in it to Gun.
"Here. You drink it. You haven't drank wine yet so I'm giving you just this half glass of wine.", he said, smiling sweetly at his partner.
"Oh? You're allowing me to drink now?", Gun asked, smirking.
Off has been watching what he eats and drinks to ensure it doesn't interfere with his immediate recovery.
"Nah, it's fine. I already asked the doctor if you can take alcohol now. The doc said, a glass of red wine is beneficial. And I say half glass is fine. Just to be safe.", the tall handsome guy explained, grinning.
"Wow! Protective much?", Newwiee butted in, teasing his half brother.
"Aw! Y'all are still here?", Off asked upon realizing that their friends are still watching and listening to their conversation.
"Where do you expect us to go? We are sitting in the same table.", Tay retorted.
Bright, Win, Krist, Singto, and Newwiee couldn't help but feel amused at how flushed Off looks right now.
"Uhm.. Excuse me. I'm just gonna get a glass of water.", he excused himself, trying to hide his blushing face as he rushed away.
"But-", before New could finish what he wanted to say, Off has already left the table as if he was running away.
Bright pointed at the glasses of water placed in front of each one of them.
"Yeah. We already got plenty of water here. Is he taking a bath or something?", Tay asked in confusion.
"Oof!", Gun suddenly exclaimed as if he ate something solid after emptying the glass of wine.
Everyone sitting on the table, watches the little guy intently as the latter spat the metallic thing on his palm which he almost swallowed.
Their eyes widened, gasping for a moment.
Gun looked stunned as he stares at the shiny gold ring with three diamond studs which accentuated it.
"Oh hoooooo!!!", Newwiee exclaimed as he understood what it meant.
"Hey, Peng! Come out here and propose properly, you dummy!",Tay called out to the tall guy whose hiding behind a pillar in that reception hall.
