A Eulogy followed after the ceremonial mass.
As a wife , Alyssa walked into the aile , going to the center of the altar where she hold the microphone... She took a deep breath , looking around and ..
Alyssa's Eulogy :
This is a moment of despair to me and my two son's ..so difficult to accept the sudden loss of the most important person in our lives..My mind blown away when I heard the call from the hospital in Cagayan de Oro where he work .. the first thing that I had in mind was , this a frank call elsewhere , a kind of joke.. but its Not ! The bomb of news was flashing over the television and social media ... Another call from my sister - in law , Jasmine where telling me the tragic accident happened in Cagayan de Oro and one of the fatalities was my husband Ruel Valderama Jr , that's when the thing sinks in. Ruel Valderama Jr. or Jun" as we fondly called him was a very loving , responsible , caring husband ..nevertheless we married in time of our distress ...
(Alyssa paused for a while )
We began our journey as husband and wife , though I know for a fact, that he loved someone else and he marry me ,just to save me in shame because that time I Am pregnant already by another man who ran away from his responsibility.. and the woman that he loved so much was his cousin Maureen Valderama Miller , the very first woman that he marry out of church or civil ceremony , but on their own Vows and Promises at the old church somewhere in their hometown . And ,... for this moment of total sadness , I am giving the honor to Maureen to say all the memories of my husband Ruel Valderama Jr, because for me , . She was the true and first wife .. I am in the first place , never loved by my husband but he respected me and care for me enough ... Afterall , we only have an Arrange Marriage . But I did love him so much and will always remember him as the most loving person .
And now may I call on Ms . Maureen Valderama Miller.
Isang matunog na palakpakan ang narinig ni Maureen ...nasa kanya ang lahat ng tingin ng mga naroroon , hindi makapaniwala si Maureen na gagawin yon ni Alyssa . Ang mga tao na naroroon ay hindi rin makapaniwala na mayroon palang ganoon lihim ang masayang pagsasama nila Alyssa at Jun Valderama.
Bulung - bulungan ang bawat isang naroroon . Dagli naman pumunta sa kinaroroonan ni Maureen si Ysabel .. "Are you okay Maureen ? " in whispering tone . She didn't say a word just nodded .. Marahan naman syang inalalayan ni Jasmine para tumayo .
Maureen walked ... and kiss and hug Alyssa .. They whispered something on each other and then , she preceeded to the center of the altar .
Silence ...
Maureen Eulogy :
This day of memorial interment can be difficult , saying goodbye to someone very dear to me is hard enough ... She took a deep breath.. We were born in the same place , but different time and year . since a little child he were like a brother to me , as we grew older our affection for each other grow . When we were in high school , we began to find comfort in the same hobbies we tried to impart as a teen ager ... Maureen took a deep breath again .. paused for a while , holding her emotions ..
A minute of long silence.
People began murmuring to one another.. Maureen continue , collecting her thoughts.
Building up memories , walking in the fields , and all the moments we shared together as a kid , I remember all the funny moments that we outgrown as a teen- ager.
During our college days ,... that's the time that we became lovers , and took us a brief paused during the anguish part of our relationship . The time that our parents knew about our relationship We 've to be separated , and that time I was pregnant and gave birth to our love child in Australia secretly,
Everybody here knows that Ruel Valderama Jr. was my first cousin. , but I will always love and remember Him as my husband . Yes. we were Wed at the old church in this town , secretly ... Maureen this time can not hold anymore her tears.. Somebody in front of her give a tissue paper to wipe her uncontrollable tears on her cheeks . She smiled a bit to the woman , happens to be Alyssa's Mom.
" Now, I am only left with his memories , she continue , and now that he is gone , ... I will always return to those places that gave us both comfort .. the Valderama Ancestral Mansion .... the old church ... always knowing , that you are there --- watching over me and our daughter Alexa . We will miss you Honey ... "
An obstreperous sounds surrounds the room ., people stared at her , some in deepest sympathy as they are astound to the fairytale like love story of her .
Maureen continue..
"Rest well on your journey , we will always cherished your memory forever. "
To share a thing very personal , infront of a room full of people , something genuine that comes from the heart , a warm applause gave to Maureen ..and Alyssa.
Then taken the body for the interment ceremony
A moment of waiting ...
The ceremony followed at the cemetery at the vicinity of Heritage Memorial Park ... where the family , friends , and relatives pay their final respects before the casket is lowered into the ground for burial . At this time , people pay the respect and offer white roses and condolences to the family .
Maureen says a prayer fot the interment of the remains.... ..
Alyssa now , says the final word and prayer . As friends, relatives and family , placed flowers on the graveyard and then the mourners leave
Except for Maureen .. She stays longer at the graveyard ,
The visitors and family went to a private room provided for lunch and refreshments.
" Maureen , Hija .. tayo na sa loob .." Ysabel embrace her.... kahapon ka pa walang pahinga .. " Maureen embrace her in between sobs.. Marahan syang inalalayan ni Ysabel ...holding her cold hands , they simply walked away to the graveyard.
