The bridal car carried Alexis and I to the reception venue, whereas Attorney and Sister used a personal car to have us followed.
Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa isang magandang silyon katabi si Alexis at sa harapan namin ay mahabang lamesa, ang pamilya naming nakaupo sa magkabilang gilid ay bukod-bukod ang upuan samantalang ang akin at ang kay Alexis ay magkaisa na parang upuan sa bulwagan.
They cheered us as a new couple, crossed-wine, and then had the best meal. Now, everyone is focused on their own kind of happiness as they dance to music, talk boisterously to one another, eat as many as they can, and more.
I’m just here contented watching everything unfold in front of me, contented but not that fully happy, I guess I will never be completely happy when I know there’s still a problem, when I know there’s still a person hurting, and when I know I can’t be very vocal at this time yet.
Napababa ang tingin ko sa kamay na lumahad sa harapan ko kaya napa-angat ang tingin ko kay Alexis nang mapagtanong ang pagkunot ng noo.
PLAY THISSS WHILE READING THANKSSS!!
“Can I have this dance with my new wife?” tanong niya sa boses niyang mapitaga at mababa.
Nag-iisip pa ako ng sagot nang marinig ko na lamang ang pagbabago ng musika, naging ballad at blues ang tugtog at naging neon purple ang ilaw sa kapaligiran.
~I found a love for me, darling just dive right in and follow my lead. Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me.~
Huminga ako nang malalim at ipinatong ang kamay ko sa kanya na kaagad niyang binalot ng malaki niyang kamay. “Sure,” tanging bigkas ko at tumayo na.
He’s holding my hand as he passed through the wide gap between our seat and Mrs. Roice’s seat; I slightly lifted up my skirt as I walked past through it as well to the dance floor.
Huminto kami sa sentro ng sayawan, ang mga bisita ay awtomatikong gumilid para sa amin kaya para akong sinaklot ng kaba na pinagtitinginan kami ngayon ngunit hindi naman siguro mahahalata iyon sa nakangiti kong mga labi e.
Ipwinesto niya ang mga kamay niya sa baywang ko at inilagay ko naman ang mga kamay ko sa balikat niya, sa kabila ng aking kahihiyan, nakakaya ko pa siyang titigan sa kanyang mga matang pamilyar na pamilyar na sa akin, nakukumporme ako rito at nakalilimutan ang mga tao sa paligid.
Our bodies slowly swayed to the slow rhythm of the song ‘Perfect’ and because of it I feel like we’re somewhat connected, it’s so comfortable, it’s like our souls have been conjoined already.
~Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song. When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight.~
“Yes, you do look perfect tonight, Mrs. Demasero.” komentaryo ni Alexis na narinig ko sa kabila ng malakas na tugtog.
Mrs. Demasero...
That alone made my heart to jump out of its cage, I don’t care if I’m exaggerating things ’cause that’s how I felt it.
Napangiti na lamang ako bilang sagot sa papuring ibinigay niya habang patuloy kami sa pagsayaw nang mabagal sa tugtog.
