Trophy of the Sunsets (Tonjuarez Series II)

TOTS 47

Chapter 47

Nakalimutan kong iba mag isip si Wyatt sa karaniwan. Ni minsan hindi pumasok sa isip ko na gagawin niya ito. I overthink and judged him for being nonchalant about this thing. Not knowing that he planned all of this behind my back. He saved me from the stress of setting everything up, and manage everything alone.

I think being my best friend helped him real hard. He knows me too much. I am more talk, but when it comes to challenges and actions I go weak. So he did everything alone and let me enjoy the fruit of all his hard work and effort. And all I needed to do was to walk on the altar.

As much as I wanted to look at everyone, my eyes were fixed on the man in front. Parang gripo ang mata ko sa pag iyak. Akala ko tatakasan na ako ng lakas, pero himala na nakatayo pa ako ngayon at nakakapag isip.

Nagising lang ako sa lahat ng rebelasyon sa utak ko nang lapitan ako ni daddy. Matamis niya akong nginitan, suot ang isang itim na suit. Nang makalapit ito ay agad niyang pinunasan ang mga luha sa aking pisngi, at niyakap ako.

"I'll let go of my youngest now, I feel so not ready for this..." bulong nito sa akin. "But I know you're gonna be in good hands... so are you ready?" masuyo niyang turan, marahan akong tumango bago kumalas sa yakap.

"You're part of this plan?" ako ngayon ang nagtanong, ngunit ngumisi na lang ito nang magsimula nang tumugtog ang background music.

Dad offered his arms, and I gladly hung my hands there. Ginabayan niya ako sa pagtayo nang maayos habang inaantay ang anunsyo. Doon ko lamang nalibot ang mata ko sa mga bisita,Wyatt really invited everyone who made a part of our journey.

Ginawaran ko sila ng matamis na ngiti. Mukhang lahat sila ay alam na wala akong kinalaman sa kasal na magaganap ngayon, kahit naintindihan nila ang reaskyon ko kung bakit gulong-gulo parin ako at naiiyak.

Lumipat si Gabi sa akin na ngiting-ngiti, at inibot ang boquet. "Naniniwala ka na sa akin ngayon?" pang aasar niya, niyakap lang ako nito sandali at umalis na rin.

"Let's now welcome! Our lovely bride!"

Nagpalakpakan lahat, humigpit ang kapit ko kay daddy. Humupa na ang luha ko, at naghahari nalang ang kaba. Ang pinaka gusto ko nalang na gawin ngayon, ay makapag lakad na at makarating ng altar.

"Ready?" tanong muli ni daddy. Binalingan ko siya.

"Born ready for this." I answered with so much determination.

We finally walked down the aisle. The place looked so good and classy, something I would imagine to have for my special day. There are a bunch of different colors of flowers everywhere. The light bulbs hanging made the place look more elegant and bright. They made a three color theme and it all matched. Beige, white and cream.

"You know... Wyatt has been with us since you were in highschool. I watched him treat you like a princess. Naisip ko na dati, na kung kayo man ang magkakatuluyan... hindi ako magdadalawang isip na pumayag." dad said on my side, while we're walking slowly.

His words made my heart melt, I couldn't stop smiling.

"Kaya noong hiningi niya ang kamay mo sa akin, at ipinaalam ang plano niyang pakasalan ka... hindi ko na siya pinahirapan. Dahil alam kong kung may magmamahal man sayo ng buong-buo, siya 'yon anak." maingat ang bawat salita ni daddy, at lahat ng iyon ay bumabaon sa puso ko. Idagdag pa, na nasa harap lang namin ang tinutukoy niya.

"You were for each other Inah... please take care of each other." that was his last advice before we reached the altar. My eyes heated as Dad led me to Wyatt.

I was calmed when I walked with dad earlier, but now that Wyatt is just inches away from me.. My heart raced again, along with the nervousness and anticipation.
