Chapter 34

Simple but elegant.

That's all I can say; everything that happens and I see feels surreal. But the thing is, everything is true. It's happening. Seriously, my heart couldn't beat for joy. I can't stop crying because I'm so happy... even if it's not in church.

He made my dream come true—my dream of getting married at night.

I have a crush on him. That even though I had forgotten him in my mind, my heart... still knows who owns it. Other than Rezoir, I thought it would be a long time—a long time—before I experienced such events in life.

I'm not a perfect person; I'm grumpy. I'm picky... but despite the mark on my arm, he's smart. He gave me someone who would accept me completely. I was very emotional. Because, to be honest, I still feel a void. I would have been happy if Mama was still here; she would have witnessed how happy I was that day.

But now my family and his family are complete. I also became complete and whole.

Dad hugged me tightly. It's late, but Hacienda Hillarca is very much alive. I don't know how they prepared this setup. that I do not know!

"Congratulations, Cara Mia," he said as he kissed me on the cheek.

"T-thank you, Papa." I couldn't help but get emotional when Papa greeted me. After what happened to our family and Rezoir, In retrospect, he didn't even want to—he was strongly against us both.

"I'm happy for you, Cara Mia; I know I wasn't a good father." I shook my head at him. That's not true; he is a great father. He was the best. "Now that I'm seeing how sincere his love was, that's why... that's why, no matter what, I hold you two back." You love each other very much. "Sorry. If I hurt you back, then Cara mia."

"It's all in the past, Papa." I held his hands tightly. "I know, it's just me who is thinking that it's my fault that you're alone." He shook his head.

"I was never alone, Azeria; I never felt alone while you were there." I nodded. "Look at me." When I met his eyes, I was stunned for a second. When I saw my father, he was wiping his tears. "Your mother is happy for you; I don't know if you still remember this, but if there is a man she wants you to marry, That is Rezoir; you are still young. She's seen... she's seen that you'll be glad you're the Hillarcas' first grandson. And I'll admit that I didn't notice it at first, but now... I'm happy."I'm happy he was right and I was wrong."

That was the word that I was waiting for...

She is as happy for me as I am.

"You are now Mrs. Hillarca."

Mrs. Hillarca.

I couldn't help but smile at what Papa said. I saw Rezoir approaching us.

"Hey," he said as he snaked his hands around my waist." Pa," he called Papa. My father taps his shoulder.

"Take care of my Cara Mia Israel; I know I keep saying this." But I know you understand me now that you have a son."

"Of course, Pa, I will take care of her."

"Then I want the two of you to enjoy your honeymoon."I'm hoping for a granddaughter this time," she teased.

"Yet!" they both laughed. I first observed Papa approaching, Mama Serena, and even Theo, who appeared to be disagreeing with Lucia. But eventually, my attention goes to Rezoir when he gives me a peck on the shoulder.

"Let's go; I want to enjoy the rest of the night with you," he whispered.

"Is it okay to leave them?"

"They can't do anything, Azeria, if I insist, can't they?" He got a squeeze on my side. But I screamed, and some people looked at me when they picked me up without saying goodbye!

"Enjoy!" they shouted.

I covered my face. They were laughing, and the man who planned it was also laughing. And when we entered his room, he carefully put me on his bed. I snaked my fingers up to his nape.

"I love you," I whispered. "I never thought—you have had a plan all along." "You even planned this with your helper, huh?" He kissed me on the head. I closed my eyes.

"I love you more, baby." "I want to give you what is best for you," I said, my eyes still closed. Maybe emotions cannot be avoided even on this kind of occasion. Even though this is a surprise wedding, my joy is overflowing. "I'll promise, baby, I will never change." I will stay the same, no matter what kind of person you know me to be. I understand that marriage is unlike anything else. I may be an imperfect husband, but I will eventually try to become a better one. "I know that you will grow up in a wonderful family; I promise, baby, we will build a happy family."

We made love until the sun came up.

So when I woke up, I was surprised again because the suitcases immediately opened my eyes.

"Good morning, baby," he said before kissing me.

"Where are we going?"

"Palawan."

"Palawan?! Why?" It just looked at me for a moment.

"Honeymoon," he answered sparingly.

"Huh? But we made it last night! Stop joking!"

"W-What baby? "I'm not joking," he laughed. He walked toward me. "Eat your breakfast before showering up, hmm."

"Are we going?"

"Yeah, Mom arranged it." I nodded. "Why? You don't want to go? "We can cancel if you want," I said, shaking my head. I pouted, and then I rested my head on his shoulder. "I know you're tired; I can cancel it." Mom will understand."

"But how about the ticket?" "I'm worried," he said.

"Don't worry about it, baby; have your breakfast." "I will just get Rayver in another room." I nodded. It's not that I don't want to go; it's been a few days since I haven't been with my son. I don't want to leave him again, even if I don't say it. I know Rezoir knows that's what I'm worried about. Yes, I know that I want to go to Palawan too. But I can't leave my son, and another thing, we can just go to the hacienda. We can have our honeymoon and family bonding here.
