Naglalakad ako sa altar ng may malaking ngiti na naka guhit sa aking mga labi. My heart flutter when I saw my friend and relatives complete. They were all looking at me. It was really unusual to see all of them beaming at me. I didn't rush walking I wanted to see everyone and everything as I walk. I could feel so much love emanating from my parents as they escort me down the Aisle. I feel really nervous right now.
I can't believe it, ikakasal na ako sa lalaking dati ay hinahangaan ko lang. I've spend most of my efforts para lang mapansin nya. He's my man ever since I'd met him.
He reach for my hand as I reach the frontier of the Church. I directly stare at him.
God! How much I love this man! He's wearing a white tuxedo match with my simple, yet, elegant gown. His sexy masculine body makes him more Personable. He looks like an angel to me, napaka amo at kalmado nya. I stared at him for a second.
Iginaya nya ako para makaupo ako ng maayos sa upuan.
I saw a curved on his lips, he's smiling at me. I return my gaze directly on his eyes and I saw unhappiness. I just retrieve a smile on him, thinking that everything is okay.
Na aabala ako sa mga mata nya "He's faking his smile" Dapat ba akong malungkot?
Pakiramdam ko ay sasabog na ako sa mga sandaling ito. Naghahahalo halo na ang mga nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko alam kung natutuwa, nalulungkot, o kinakabahan ako.
I wish this wedding goes well. I hope everything will be just fine. No worries, cause no one is opposed to our marriage.
Sinimulan na ng pari ang seremonya.
My heart tumble in nervousness. I angle my head to see him. He looks serious, He tilt his head landing his eyes straight on mine. Naestatwa ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko.
"Y-you look handsome in your suit" I said trying not to stutter.
I saw how he clenched his Jaw and it makes me feel uncomf'table Ibinalik ko nalang ang pakikinig sa pari.
The bride and groom are here to marry each other. No one else's will create such a union. It is their words, their intentions, their vision, that must define this marriage.
Ibinaling ng pari ang atensyon nya sa amin ni Jaxen.
As you stand here today, I remind you of the serious nature of the relationship you are about to enter. Marriage is a lifetime job. Kung gusto nyong maging matagumpay you must be loyal with each other. Matuto kayong intindihin ang bawat isa at saka nyo sabay na abutin ang inyong pangarap at minimithi.
Tumatangi lamang ako sa paliwanag nito.
"Kerjii Ericka Balestramon will you have this man to be your husband, to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"
"I Do" Mabilis kong sagot habang deretso ang tingin ko kay Jaxen. Nakatitig sya sa akin ng walang Emosyon.
I stared at him for a second, at this moment on parang ayoko ng kumawala sa kanya habang buhay
Millions of electric currents pass through my veins as the priest ask him the same question as mine.
Nanatili ang titig namin sa isa't-isa. Ganoon na lamang ang Kaba ko nang maisip kong baka iwan nya ako sa ere. Baka hindi sya sumagot. Hindi ko kakayanin ito. Not Infront of our families.
Not now Jaxen. Not now, please. Patulo na ang luha ko nang matagalan syang Sumagot. Dumoble ang kaba ko sa nangyayari.
I repeat, "Ajax Delacion Will you have this woman to be your wife, to live together? Will you love her and honor her in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I-I Do"
Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib nang marinig ko mula sa bibig ni Jaxen ang salitang iyon. Akala ko ay hindi na sya sasagot.
"Please repeat after me"
I-I , Ajax Cohen Delacion, take you Kejii Ericka Balestramon to be my w-wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till D-death do us part.
I, Kerjii Balestramon take you Ajax Delacion to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part.
We both said our marriage vows.
I saw my Parents crying, naiiyak na din tuloy ako.
"May the love you have found grow in meaning and strength until its beauty is shown in a common devotion. May the flow of your love help brighten the fate of your marriage. May the source of all love touch and bless us and grace our lives with color and courage. "
We both hold each others ring
"As often as either of you looks at this Ring, I hope that you will be reminded of the commitment to love each other, which you have made today."
I, Ajax, give to you Kerjii this ring, as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and respect you. With this ring, I thee wed.
I, Kerjii give to you Ajax, this ring, as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and respect you. With this ring, I thee wed.
Tears Instantly fell on my cheeks.
Putting each others ring and promising each others love are the best Part of our wedding. It feels like Heaven.
"Or Maybe, It's only me to promise the love and commitment"
And then this was the part that everyone's waiting for.
The part that I've Waitin' for.
"The Declaration."
"I declare that they are husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
People applaud infront of us.
Hinawi ni Jaxen ang aking Belo. Hindi padin tumitigil ang luha ko. I feel so happy, wala nang mas sasaya pa sa pangyayari ngayon.
He gradually held my chin, he look at me in the eye as he slowly press his Soft fascinating lips on mine. He close his eyes, and so I did.
People are cheering and crying in Joy as we both Kiss each other.
"God! Finally! I am now Kerjii Ericka Delacion"
Memories echo on my head, I remember how my dad declared my marriage after I reach the age 20
At first I didn't wanted to marry Ajax, My dad and his dad are the mastermind of this rite."
They both concerted that when I turned 20, I'll marry his partner's son.
After my Dad proclaim that decision, hindi talaga ako kumain, nagmatigas ako, nagtampo ako kay daddy, hindi ko sya pinansin which is wrong.
Kasi bakit naman nya ako ipagkakasundo sa taong hindi ko naman mahal at kilala?
That day I don't know that Ajax Cohen Delacion is the son of Tito Jack Delacion. Akala ko ay nagkataon lang na pareho sila ng Apelyido.
As My Dad Introduce me to them, Nagulat ako, dahil nalaman ko na yung papakasalan ko pala ay ang dream boy ko, ang pinakamamahal ko.
Then later on pumayag narin akong magpakasal, not because of Jaxen. But because of my Fathers career. I think it's for the sake of our business.
"Thank you" sabi ko sa loob ng kotse
"Why?" he said
"Nothing. Just, Thank you" Gusto ko sanang sabihin na 'thank you kasi hindi mo ako iniwan sa ere kanina' Pero umurong ang dila ko
Tinahak namin ang daan patungong Montecito Clubhouse sa Calamba kung saan dito Reception ng kasal.
Magalak ang salubong sa aming dalawa pagdating namin sa venue. Nagpalakpakan ang mga taong nasa loob.
He clasp our hands. Hindi ko alam, pero parang nabuhayan ako ng loob nang gawin nya iyon. First holding hands naming dalawa ito.
We both went to the chairs infront.
Sinimulan ng Emcee ang Seremonya sa loob.
Nang tawagin kaming dalawa ay napuno nanaman ng hiyawan at palakpakan ang mga tao sa loob.
Ang iba ay sumisigaw pa ng kiss, pero hindi ko nalang ito pinapansin. Hindi rin naman papayag si Jaxen na halikan ako.
Kung kanina ay hinalikan nya ako sa harap ng madaming tao, siguro ngayon ay hindi na. Hindi ko naman alam kung gusto nya bang halikan ako o napilitan lang sya.
Pati Nahihiya na ako.
Sumenyas ako sa mga kaibigan ko na tumigil na sa pangangantiyaw sa amin dahil mukhang naiirita na itong si Jaxen. Mabilis pa naman din itong magalit.
Kiss! Kiss! hiyawan parin ng mga tao kasabay ng pagtunog ng mga baso. Lahat sila ay naka tuon ang atensyon sa amin.
Nakakaloka silang lahat.
Nagulat ako ng iginaya ako ni Jaxen Paharap sa kanya. He is now holding my waist trying to pull me closer to him.
"f**k! I'm Alarmed! My heart beats aggressively, it's like a disco ball" Thingking that we're only a few inches away is so damn nakakakilig!
Sumipol ang karamihan sa mga tao. I Look at them showing my timid face.
"U-hm, Jaxen I think this is really awkward" I said in a shy tone
"No I-it's not, and were married anyway" He said in a cold tone.
He gently gave me a pecked on my lips making my face deeply in red.
Fudge! and His Eyes! ugh! His Bright mesmirizing eyes can even make me a complete Imbecile.
Itinutok ng Emcee ang Mic sa akin.
"So Mrs. Delacion, how's the feeling of being his wife?"
"It feels like I'm in Heaven." Kaunti ngunit makahulugan kong Sabi. Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao
Ngayon ay kay Jaxen naman ito nakatuon.
"So Mr. Delacion! How is it Feel to be married naman?" Natigilan siya sa tanong na iyon.
"It's different though It's great! Cause I am now sharing life with my lovely wife" Ani niya habang nakatitig sa akin. Ganoon na lamang ang pagkakilig ko nang marinig ko mula kay Jaxen ang mga ganoong kataga.
"He is now sharing his life with me? His Lovely wife?" Fudge! Can someone call a Medic Please! I Think I'm going to collapse anytime by now. My Heart is beating so damn fast!
"I look at him Intensely"
Humiwalay sya sa akin ng mapansin nyang sobra na ata ang titig ko sa kanya.
Matapos ang nakakaintrigang tanungan ay ipinagpatuloy na ang kasiyahan. Marami pang mga activities ang ginanap at lahat ng ito ay nakakatuwa. Pati si Jaxen.
Hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Jaxen ngayon sa katatawa, miski ako ay sobra narin ang tawa sa mga palaro.
Minsan ay kinakausap din ako ni Jaxen, pero mas marami ang oras naming nanonood lang sa mga guests.
Hours pass... Happiness overflowed in the venue.
"I think it's time to say goodbye to our newly weds!" said the Emcee
Nagpasalamat kaming dalawa sa lahat ng pumunta sa kasal at sa reception.
Tumayo na kaming dalawa ni Jaxen nang magkahawak ang aming mga kamay.
We walk through the hallway, as they wave goodbye to us. Madami ang Nagcongrats sa aming dalawa.
Pagkalabas ng Venue ay wala nang masyadong mga tao. Dito ko naramdaman na unti unti nyang Ipinaghiwalay ang kamay namin.
Nakangiti akong pumasok sa loob ng Kotse.
Pumasok sya sa loob at inistart na ito.
"Thank You Jaxen! I Love you!" Sabi ko sa lalaking katabi ko ng may malawak na ngiting nakaguhit sa akin.
He stares at me in a cold way "Don't think about it. It's just for show"
Nawala ang ngiti ko. Parang binuhusa. ako ng kumukulong tubig ang naramdaman kong dumadaloy sa dib-dib ko. Ang sakit!
"Why Jaxen?" Tanong ko sa kanya kasabay ng pagtulo ng maiinit kong luha.
