I Fell For The Wrong Man

Chapter 10

Every woman’s day

Her wedding day.

Masaya, pressured kasi baka makalimutan ang sasabihin

Baka matalisod habang naglalakad, maiiyak

pero ito na siguro ang pinakamagandang nangyari sa buong buhay ng isang babae.

*Yung mag susuot ka ng designed gown mo.

*Yung feeling na, sobrang kabado ka baka makalimutan mo ang vows mo.

*Yung ramdam na ramdam mo na ikaw na ang pinakamagandang babae sa araw na iyon.

*Yung maglalakad ka na, ikaw ang kinaiingitan ng mga kababaihan sa ganda at kinang ng iyong dala.

*Yung hawak-hawak ka ng papa mo, sa paghahatid sayo sa lalaking papakasalan mo.

Pagdating mo dun, sabay kayong iiyak at magyayakapan.

Ibibigay na ang kamay mo sa lalaki at magbibilin na ‘Son, take good care of my daughter’

Iyan na siguro ang pinaka ideal wedding dream ng mga babae. Pero kay Serene . . . .  ganun ba ang mangyayari?

Serene’s POV

Sa tuwing naalala ko ang araw na yon, napapaiyak nalang ako. Tulad ngayon binabalikan ko ang araw na kinasal ako. Ang araw na dapat ako na ang pinakamagandang babae sa kasal ko.

Marami din akong pinagdaanan dati, mga bagay na nagpaiyak at nagbigay ng puot sa puso ko. niloko ako ng mga taong mga mahal ko. pero natuto akong magpatawad, sinaktan ulit at binigyan nanaman ng pagsubok.

“umiyak nanaman si mommy ko! Does it hurt mommy?” lapit saakin ng 4-year-old baby girl ko.

Pinahid ko bigla ang luha ko. She saw me crying again.

“No, baby I’m fine” I smiled and kiss her forehead. Bigla naman itong nilapit ang tenga niya sa tiyan ko.

“Baby brother, please don’t make sipa-sipa that much OK mommy gets hurt” napaiyak ako ulit, ang bait at lambing talaga ng baby ko.

“He won’t hurt mommy baby girl, he’s a good boy” yakap ko sa anak ko. I am six-month pregnant and it’s a boy.

Nakita ng baby ko ang album na kanina ko pa tinigtignan.

“Diba, this was the wedding of mommy and daddy?”  tanong niya.

“YES it is” ngiti ko sa kanya. Umupo ito sa tabi ko at kinuha ang album na yon, pinatong niya sa lap niya at binuklat ulit.

“You look so pretty here mommy oh, you smile like an angel!” turo niya sa picture ko, I was walking to the altar.

“Am I?” I asked her.

“YAP m/ you are mommy, you look so happy in here I feel so happy also mommy look :)” natawa ako kasi ngumiti siya ng malaki. Walang ngipin ang harapan.

“Oh, I see baby HAHAHA” napatawa nalang ako.

“Did mommy regret? That’s why mommy is crying?”  She asked. Nagulat nalang ako bigla sa tanong na yon.

Nagdalawang isip ba ako nun? Pinagsisisihan ko ba ngayon?

Flashback [way, way, way back 5 years ago]

The wedding day.

Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, I was the most beautiful woman at this time.

“OMG Serene you’re a goddess” sabi ng pinsan ko na kakapasok lang. She’s my maid of honour. Siya din kasi bestfriend ko.

“Salamat” ngiti ko.

“Oh, bakit di abot sa tenga ang ngiti mo ha?” lapit niya saakin. Mukhang nag aalala talaga siya.

“Mahal ko siya Trish, but di ko alam, gusto ko naman to kaya lang . . . . “ I started to cry.

“hoy, gurang wag kang umiyak ang make up mo” pagtatahan ng pinsan ko. “You know what everything will be alright, pinili mo’to eh!” she hugged me.

“Thank you for coming here couz, I thought wala talagang pupunta na relatives ko” I fix myself off.

“sus, ikaw pa, Love kaya kita” tawa niya. “nagsisisi ka ba?” she asked me.

“NO! And I WONT!” sagot ko agad.

“Good, because wala ka namang pagsisisihan pag pinanindigan mo eh!” sabi nito habang niyayakap ako.

“Oo naman, couz saan mo nakuha ang quote na yan?” natawa kong tanong, parang nabasa ko na kasi. Hihihih.

“hmmmmmmp, sa netbook ni Misshidden to, nabasa ko lang” pout niya.

“talagang pakilamera ka talaga, kawawa naman si MissHidden hindi alam pinakikilaman mo gamit niya” sabi ko. pinsan ko siya eh ^__^ Hi pinsan MissHidden *-*

“alam niya no, she caught me” T3T

“hey, girl the ceremony is about to start lessgooo” pasok ng bakla kong kaibigan.

Nagyakapan kami ulit ni Trisha. “This is it” sabay pa naming sabi. “AHAHAHAHAHA” tinulungan nila ako with my gown, designed by myself.

[tignan nyo nalng there oh right side]

We drove to the church, my dream wedding church. San Agustin Church.

[dyan ko gusto ikasal dati HAHAHAHA kaya lang nung nakilala ko hubby ko, anywhere is fine *ayeeeeeeeeeeeh]

My uncle, father of Trisha. Siya ang maghahatid saakin sa lalaking pakakasalan ko. In just an hour, nakarating kami. Excited na ako, I want to show them, na ako ang pakakasalan ng lalaking naka suit na nasa altar.

Gusto kong mainggit sila. He chose a beautiful woman like me. Oh diba ganda ng pangarap ko! and it is coming true.

I was stepping up, waiting for the door to be open for me.

“I have a surprise to you my dear” sabi ni uncle. Nagtaka naman ako doon. I look at him confuse, he just gave me a smile.

When the big door opens, I saw a dazzling man, waiting for me. And I cried.

“You look beautiful my baby girl” he smiled. Lumapit ito saakin,

“daaa---aaad” halos mamaos ako sa nakita ko. My daddy is here. He hugged me so tight, and I missed him it’s been a year I never seen him.

I look the whole church and I can see how beautiful the church is, my flower girls, the sponsors, and guests everything is perfect.

My relatives and all of my family, wow it’s amazing.

I look around again, looking for another important person in my life.

“Mom :)” there she was, on the aisle. Standing beside my auntie smiling at me. I cried

“Your man is waiting baby, he might back out” he laughed slightly. “daaaaad” pinalo ko siya pero mahina lang.

“Let’s go?” I nod. He offered me his arms, and started to walk going to Him.

You are the song

Playing so softly in my heart

I reach for you, you seem so near yet so far

I hope and I pray

You'll be with me someday

I know down inside

You are mine and I'm your true love

And there, I see him. Smiling at me.

Or am I dreaming. . . . . .. . . . . . .. . . .  ..

Jonathan.

How can I each time I try you say goodbye

You were there

You look my way I touch the sky

We can share tomorrow and forever more

And I'll be there to love you so

You are my song . . . . . . . . . ..  . . .. .  . . . . .

People were clapping their hands, as I smiled at them. This is my day.

I know for sure that we were meant to fall in love

I look in your eyes

I know what you're thinking of

I try not to say

The words that might scare you away

I know down inside

You are mine and I'm your true love

Please no more dreaming . . . . . . . . . . .

I saw him crying, smiling at me. And mouthed “You look beautiful” 

How can I each time I try you say goodbye

You were there

You look my way I touch the sky

We can share tomorrow and forever more

I'll be there to love you so

You are my song

Hanggang sa nakarating na kami sa harap ng Diyos, Jonathan was smiling until in his ears. He looks so handsome in his, black tuxedo.

Napaiyak nalang ako, naalala ko ang dati, nung mga bata palang kami nung naglalaro palang, noong nag pi’pinky promise palang kami, noong nag ho’holding hands pa kami.

Noong nagkahiwalay kami, pinaglaruan ng tadhana, napunta siya sa ibang lugar. At ako naman, nag-akala ng kasama ko lang siya sa matagal na panahon.

We reached this far and now we are both going to be happy.

We both smile. Sincerely.

“Son, take good care of my daughter” then there.

I saw the most stunning man in my life, behind Jonathan this person will be my loving husband, in a minute. I will live with him forever after facing God.

“I will dad” JA said. He smiled, nakikita ko siya kanina umiiyak. This was our dream past, past years. In our anniversaries we used to talk about this dream and now.

Voila

“We’re getting married” he *grinned

“YES we are” I cried and I hugged him.

Everyone was clapping their hands, scratch that everyone was standing ovation. I’m glad, everyone is here.

“Father, let’s start. Nagugutom na po sila---“ bigla siyang tumingin saakin. “and we will start working hard to build” he laughed.

I was never wrong. I will be Mrs. John Andrew later on.

End of Flashback

“I never ever regret, of marrying your daddy baby” I hugged her.

I will never be :)

“I’MMM HOOOOOME” sigaw ng lalaking pinakamamahal ko.

“daddyyyyyy kooooo!” m/ masaya nanaman ang anak ko.

“I bought ice creaaaaaam” favourite nilang mag-ama ano pa ba!

“yehey, aysssss kwiiiimmmm” talon pa nito.

Napangiti nalang ako, I’m happy we fight for what we have. I’m happy that I chose the right person to be with. At kahit kelan hindi nagkulang si JA na iparamdam ito saamin.

“Hi Mahal na Mahal ko” he kissed me. I answered back.

“I missed you Mahal ko” I said. He look at me.

“I missed you mooore, and you know you cry too much Mahal. Hindi mo talaga malimutan kung gaano kagwapo ang pinakasalan mo” pagmamayabang niya.

“Yeah, right” we laughed.

Let me tell you a story

[way,way,way back 6 years ago]

That night, when it was announced that I’m getting married to Jonathan, pinuntahan ako ni JA sa kwarto ko, NOT SO FAST!

Dumaan siya sa bintana and asked me to runaway with him. And I said YES!

 I will never marry to any other man, only HIM!

Sa Bicol kami nanatili ni JA, sabi nito the wedding was fully mess.  Nahimatay pa nga daw si mom, then my dad knows where I am and who am I with. He wants me to be happy. I just love him.

Jonathan was devastated after the mess; he even went to rehab dahil sa mga nagawa niyang kabulastugan, he also took drugs and stuffs.

Dumalaw ako sa kanya nun, and he looks really messed. Kasalanan ko nanaman, pero nung nakita niya ako nakangiti siya saakin. I still remember, yung sinabi niya.

‘Serene, I once love you and still loving you, kung saan ka sasaya doon narin ako, kasi MAHAL KITA! I gave up everything EVEN YOU just for my brother, pero di ko yon pinagsisihan dahil mahal na mahal ko rin si JA,, handa akong gawin ang lahat para sumaya siya. *sobs  siguro nga hindi tayo ang tinadhana dahil nararapat ka para sa kapatid ko, humihingi ako ng tawad sa nangyari. Alam ko naman eh, pero ginawa ko parin yun sayo pasensya na nabulag ako *sobs dahil akala ko akin ka, MAHAL mo pa ako *sobs pero ito na nga may nagmamay-ari sayong iba, Masaya parin ako, inalaagan ka ng maayos ni JA minahal ka ng sobra sobra ni JA, minahal ka niya higit pa sa kaya kung ibigay at iparamdam sayo. Marami akong rason para mahalin ka, pero mas maraming dahilan si JA para mahalin ka ng sobra-sobra *sobs gusto kong sumaya kayo Serene MAHAL na MAHAL kita kaya palalayain na kita *sobs’

Umiyak lang ako sa harapan niya, di ako makapaniwala na nangyari ang lahat ng iyon saamin, MAHAL ko siya nung nangyari saamin yun pero mas pinaramdam ni JA ang napakagandang dahilan kung bakit mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal ko siya ngayon.

‘THANK YOU Nate-Nate’

But now, he is OK we’re friends. We even talked recently. He was now looking for his Queen. I hope he’ll find her :)

Everything was FINE!

I am happily MARRIED with incoming two children.

Hi I’m Mrs. John Andrew Smith.
