Forbidden Love

From This Day Onwards

The day she used to imagined is now a reality......
The dress she used to daydream is not just a fantasy and.....
Most of all the man she used to dreat is not only on her liquid dreams...
But of course... It's real and right in front of the church altar with the officiating priest blessed their union. She now witnessed how this man vowed to love her till eternity.
She looked on her groom, he is so damn gorgeous, wearing a black Prada tuxedo paired with black pants and black shoes, he is an epitome of a modern God, oh... How she loved everything about him.

" Grace, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."

Grace heart melt in an instant, she can sense the sincerity in his voice. The words he uttered are eternal to her soul and it leaves a mark to her being. Hindi niya namalayan na may luhang naglandas sa kanyang mga Mata, because kailan man ni sa hinagap hindi niya a kalain na maging to too ang mga pangyayari, particularly the realization that today is her wedding day, the day she will surely realize that she is not just fantasizing her professor but of course she is now the wife of Mr. Renzo Del Real.
Isinuot ng groom sa kanya ang isang diamond studded wedding ring with Renzo's name embedded in it.
Grace is actually very nervous, she can't contain the overflowing happiness in her heart. Alam niyang marami pa silang pagsubok na pagdaanan sa buhay, but what really matters most is... Nasa kanya ang huling halakhak...Sumulyap siya sa kanyang mga in-laws, she knows that she had a lot of things to work out on them but she is grateful for them for helping her with the wedding preparations that took only two weeks to work out. The details was actually planned by them which actually headed by her husband.
Kahit nanginginig ang boses dahil sa sobrang kaba she tried her best to recite her vows.

Grace recited her vows, "Renzo, I choose you to be my husband, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life."

Isinuot niya ang singsing habang tumingin siya sa mga mata ng kanyang pinakamamahal na asawa. Nasalamin niya sa mga mata nito ang kaligayahang matagal na nitong ipinangako sa kanya at ngayon lang nabigyan ng katuparan.

And when she feel the traditional kiss that the priest commanded, she felt shiver down on her spine just like the very first time their lips met.
Ang nakabibinging palakpakan ang sumalubong sa kanila after the kiss, ngumiti siya sa lahat na bumati, pero na wala iyon ng mula sa malayo ay unti unting lumapit ang babaeng kinaiinisan niya... His ex.... His nemesis..
Kasi naman kahit sa simpleng suot nitong long dress makikita ang kasiksihan nito.

Ng lingunin niya ang groom niya ay pinisil nito ang kanyang palad at iniwan siya nito upang bumati sa iba nitong kakilala.

"Congratulations girl ha, sa ngayon you win but life is complicated my dear, just remember this... marriage is not an assurance of a happy ever after", Sinundan nito iyon ng nakakalukong ngiti sa mga labi.

Tumikhim siya at ngumiti din dito, baka nakakalimutan nito na palaban siya at hindi madaling matinag.

"Fairy tales are for children my dear, and if there's a fairy tale in real life I am very much willing to fight for my prince charming".

Yon lang at tinalikuran niya ito, hindi niya sisirain ng walang kwentang patutsada at pabida nito ang araw ng kanyang tagum pay... Because she is Grace del Real the wife of Renzo del Real.

Pinuntahan niya ang kanyang asawa, at sinadyang ipinalupot sa baywang nito ang kanyang braso.

"Love kiss me please," buong pagmamayabang niyang inginuso ang kanyang mga labi, at patay malisyang tinignan ang ipokritang panira ng kanyang araw, Nakita niya itong nakaupo at nakipagkwentuhan sa mga sosyal nitong friendships.

"sure love". At hinagkan siya nito sa mga labi.
Patuya niya g tinignan ang ex ni Renzo and with a wicked grin after the mind blowing kiss she mouted to the lady in pain,

"See, mamatay ka sa inggit".

Hindi niya nakita kung ano ang naging reaksiyon nito sa ginawa niya but what she can conclude is this... The lady is in pain and in deep sorrow. All she have to do is to give her sweetest smile and give her best shot for this marriage to work out.

"Thank you love, thank you for being YOU".

Naginarte siya gusto niyang marinig sa mga labi nito kung gaano siya kahalaga dito, kung gaano niya ito kamahal, kung gaano niya ito pinapantasya at heto na ang pagkakataon upang maisigaw niya sa buong Mundo na si Renz ay kanya lang.. Ka yang kanya lang.

Tumawa si Renz at pinisil ang ka yang kamay.

"You're always welcome love". Magkaagapay silang pumunta sa gitnang upuan para sa reception table.

Wala na siyang mahihiling pa, kahit walang forever ika nga but she knows deep within that there love story is not actually forbidden its just complicated.

Noon yon... Hindi na ngayon.. There's is actually a love story worth fighting for.
