"I want my wedding gown to be a fusion of all three."

"Ha?"

Did I even hear that correctly? My eyes fluttered, unsure about what to feel. Habang si Amari ay seryosong nakatingin sa amin. She was hugging her arms while facing us, looking more determined than ever.

"Would that be possible?" muling tanong nito, ang ulo nya ay marahang tumagilid, iilang pulgada ito mula sa kanyang balikat. Nagkatinginan naman kaming magkakapatid, tila ba iisa lang ang pinapahiwatig sa isa't-isa.

"I suppose, yes." Para bang nabunutan ako ng isang malaking tinik sa lalamunan nang sa wakas ay binasag na ni Hecaesia ang katahimikang kanina lang ay namumutawi sa paligid. "But the results would be uncertain."

Yes, it is possible. Ngunit gayunpaman ay wala paring kasiguraduhan sa magiging resulta nito.

She sighed before making her way to the cushioned chair and sitting. "What would be the consequences?"

"Since it is a fusion of three different elements, merging them together might suggest varied outcomes." Ani Cirseane nang tabihan ang dalaga. "Each gown has its own dominant features; therefore, combining them may signify dissonance or worse."

"Arcoíris, Armonía, and Idalia Pele are representations of different fortes and phenomena enhanced to portray your presence, Lady Amari." Dagdag nito at inabot ang kamay ng kanyang katabi. "Perhaps a fusion of them would either be harmonious or a beautiful disaster."

"One thing is for sure; it is one hell of a risk, my lady." Pag-aamin ko kay Amari na napatingin naman sa aking direksyon nang marinig ang aking sinambit. "However, if this is what makes the king's bride happy and feel at ease on her wedding day, then we'll gladly do it for her." I smiled warmly, na sinundan naman ng aking mga kapatid.

Would it be the mellifluous sound of rain or the roaring thunder above it?

"The choice is yours to decide, Lady Amari." Linakad ko ang maliit na distansya namin at muli syang hinarap, still with that same grin on my face. "Take the risk or lose the chance ever to find out."

"Uhm.." she mumbled, tila ba ay mas lalo itong nahirapang mamili dahil sa aming mga sinabi. Nakakunot ang kanyang noo habang ang baba nya ay nakasandal sa kanyang palad, her thumb rubbing against her chin as she started to think deeper.

Mahahalataang seryoso sya sa mga sandaling ito, her teeth biting onto her lower lip as she remained the quietest I have ever heard her do since we met.

Napabuntonghininga ito at umayos muna ng upo. "Fine, let's do it. Hindi talaga ako makapili sa tatlo kaya bahala na si Batman sa kalalabasan."

Mahinahon akong napangisi sa kanyang sagot, while my sisters, Cirseane and Hecaesia, looked at me with confusion drawn all over their faces. Sa amin kasing tatlo ay ako ang pinakamahusay magsalita ng wikang Tagalog.

Hecaesia stared at me with squinted eyes."Batman?" mausisang bulong nito sa akin nang tabihan ako.

"Take a joke, Sia." Biro ko rito, dahilan na bigyan ako nito ng mapagbantang tingin pabalik. "It's a phrase commonly used in the mortal realms when people do things impulsively."
