FINAL CHAPTER
"I'm here again with Sandro, ate"
I stop for a moment and tried to stop myself from crying.
"You're happy, right?"
Sandro hold my hand.
"I wish you're smiling up there right now while looking at us"
"I know she is" Sandro whispher.
"Thank you for everything, ate. I promise I'll be happy and live my life without guilt because I know that what you would have wanted. I love you so much"
"This one?" Itinuro ni Sandro ang isang kulay pink na crib.
"We don't even know if she's a girl" I answered.
Napa kamot ito ng batok. "I guess, we need to buy things nalang for our wedding"
We're getting married the day after tomorrow. Mom and dad was here already and I'm staying at Sandro's house.
"We don't really need to buy a lot of stuff, though"
He raised his eyebrow. "Why? I'm marrying the best girl in the world."
I chuckle "Whatever, Sandro"
I'm 3 months pregnant and unlike the other day, I feel better right now.
"Are you happy with me?" He suddenly asked.
"I am"
"Really?" Paninigurado pa nya.
I smiled at him "I am. I promise"
I mean it. I am happy because I have him and this baby. Our baby.
Who would have thought na things will end up this way?
"You look amazing" I smiled. Grayson and Kalee is here. Sa dressing room.
"I wish you happiness, Allison. You deserve it" Grayson said and tap my head gently.
"You know what? I really wish na you'll end up together"
I glared at her. Napaka daldal talaga kahit kailan.
"I'm happy for you, though. Magiging nanay kana soon and you know naman diba? I'm always here for you. Kaming dalawa ni Grayson."
"Don't make me cry"
She chuckle "Silly."
"Ninong ako ah?" Hinampas ko ng mahina sa balikat si Grayson.
"Oo naman! Ikaw pa ba!"
I really hope someday ma meet ni Grayson ang babae na para sakanya. Even steven. I really hope. Because we all deserve happiness.
"I'm so nervous" I whispher.
I'm standing infront of the church waiting for the door to open.
This is it.
All of my life
I thought I was right
Looking for something new
Stuck in my ways
Like old-fashioned days
But all the roads led me to you
The house that you live in don't make it a home
But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone
People in life, they will come and they'll leave
But if I had a choice I know where I would be
I saw my dad and mom standing 15 steps away from me.
They look so happy.
My eyes was roaming around the church. Our friends, family and love ones is all here.
I can see Sandro looking at me in the aisle. Oh god. He looks perfect and nervous. I can't help but to laugh.
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
Now I found the strength
To make a change
And look at the magic I found
No matter the name
Or where you came from
'Cause no one has much figured out
We've both been through a lot. I even thought na hindi na kami magiging masaya pa because of our past.
I know my ate will be so proud of me.
"Hi dad, mom"
"Ghad. You're so beautiful" My mom who was always so supportive whatever I do and my dad who loves us the most.
I am so lucky to be their daughter. I know a lot of things happend in the past.
"I love you, mom and dad" I want to cry, pero ayokong mahulas ang aking make up.
"Oh sweetheart, smile okay? Don't cry"
I can see tita Angela waving her hand to me. She's so happy.
The house that you live in don't make it a home
But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone
I finally found where I feel I belong
And I know you'll be there with wide open arms
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
I choose you
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
Through the lows and the highs I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
Oh, I choose you
I choose you
There's no need for goodbyes now, because I am ready to face all the challenges with him.
"Hi beautiful"
Dad chuckle at inabot ang aking kamay kay Sandro.
"Be happy" He said and kissed me in my cheeks.
"Are you nervous?" I whispher in his ears. Sobrang lamig kasi ng kanyang kamay.
"I am" He answered.
"You don't need to."
"You're so beautiful" He's smiling while saying that. I never even imagine na I'll be standing next to him in the aisle.
I'm so excited to see how Sandro will stand as a husband and a father.
"Will you take Reese, to be your lawfully wedded wife to have to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do part"
Sandro smiled and answered "I do"
"Will you take Sandro to be your lawfully wedded husband to have to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do part."
"It's my utmost pleasure to say I do, I will and always will." I answered with a smile on my face.
"That's sweet" singit ni Father.
Sandro put the ring in my finger, he's crying "You are the first person I want to see in the morning and the last at night. I look forward to loving the smallest moments, like your eyes while you toss your hair. Spin a coin into a fountain and make a wish for us. You are my wish come true. I, Sandro Jadelania, vow to express my love for you as often as I breathe each breath. Although it is until death do us part, I know that we will never truly part because our souls are made for each other. Let us build a home, a life and a family from our bonds of true love and our vows to stick together through all life's challenges From today onward, you and I will be one in heart, body and mind. Take my heart, love me forever and I will never leave your side. You and I are one. I love you so much my beautiful wife."
I can't help but to cry.
"How lucky am I to call you mine? Your love and trust makes me a better person, each and every day. For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people love each other truly. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything. I'm proud to call you my husband. I promise to be your friend and partner every step of the way. I will be there for you, day or night, in richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I trust, appreciate, cherish, and respect you. I promise to share with you my hopes and dreams as we build our lives together. You, my love, our baby are my everything. I love you so much, Sandro."
Everyone clap their hands, I can see my mom crying and nodding his head. I don't why but I feel like I can see ate Addison smiling and waving her hand to us saying Be happy.
"Sandro and Reese through their words today, have joined together in holy wedlock. Because they have exchanged their vows before God and these witnesses, have pledged their commitment each to the other, and have declared the same by joining hands and by exchanging rings, I now pronounce that they are Husband and Wife Those whom God hath joined together, let no one put asunder."
"It is with these in mind that I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"
Pinunasan ni Sandro ang iilang butil ng luha saaking pisngi.
"You're so beautiful, my love. Thank you for everything"
And he kissed me.
Daddy Zeke stand infront of everyone and he's holding a microphone "My greatest blessing is having a son, one that mirrors me in many ways. But like his dream, he's grown into his own person. He has taught me as much as I've taught him and I'm proud. My son is someone who goes the extra mile for people and I know he'll make an amazing husband and a father. I wish you every best. I know you're going to he a best dad, son. And to you, my daughter in law, I know you're going to be a good mother."
And my dad. "Looking at both of you in your beautiful dress and suit, my wedding day comes to mind. We were quite excited, filled with love, merriment, and of course nervousness. From me to you, I'll tell you for free that a successful marriage requires falling in love many times. And doing it with the same person always. Best wishes and I hope ako ang kamukha ng magiging apo ko kung sakali na lalaki man to"
Everyone laugh at my dad because of what he said.
"That's unfair" singit ni daddy zeke.
I'm so happy right now.
"I think, he needs to look like me" Hiyaw ni Steven sa isang banda. He even wink at me.
"That jerk" natatawang sambit ni Sandro.
I know, kahit hindi ako kausapin ni Steven, he already accepted our faith. Hindi na namin kailangan ng closure because I know someday he'll meet someone who'll love him.
"Thank you for loving me Sandro even when I was the most unlovable person on the earth, and for bearing with me when I was going through a particularly trying time in my life. I love you."
He pinch my cheeks. "You don't need to thank me, though. Meeting you is the best thing happend in my life. I'm looking forward to spend this life time with you and our little one"
