Never Been Taken

Epilogue

Me and my besties met when we are in college, and I didn't know it at the time, but our friendship would end up being the very thing that would save me. I would come to find out through tough love and complete admiration that my best friends, would be able to pick me up off the floor not once, but multiple times.

In the beginning years we had to learn to navigate our differences. Si Jaise na tahimik at mahiyain, Si Gale na masungit, Ako na maingay, makalat at madrama. With opposing signs and completely different upbringings, We ignored those signs because we knew our connection was strong enough to move past anything that stood in the way of our bound. With careful consideration and the effort to learn instead of judge, we grew as close as sisters and that's where the magic of our relationship truly began. Halos magkakasabay kaming lumaki, natuto, nag matured at lumandi. Tapos ngayon, eto kami...

"Ikakasal na talaga tayo! Pakshet!" I said as I look at my besties.

Were inside of the elite suit of this hotel. The 5 star hotel where Erwin works. The hotel where I met him again. Kaming tatlo lang ang nandito sa barkada kasama ang hair stylist, make artist, at mga assistant namin.

At tama kayo ng nabasa. Ikakasal na kami.

Kaming tatlo ay sabay sabay na ikakasal ngayong araw. After Paul proposed on Jaise's last month, On there graduation day ay nag plano na agad ng kasal. I mean, may plano na yung mga fiancé namin. Galing no? Kaya pala lagi silang magkakasama sa Saiorse tuwing byernes dahil mga nagpaplano na.

"Through breakups, bad jobs, family drama, and terrible life choices magkakasama tayo. Walang magbabago." Sabi ni Jaise.

"#BestfriendGoals" Sabi ni Gale.

Pero hindi naman kami umangal dahil gusto rin namin. At kami pa rin naman ang nasunod sa mga gusto namin, kami pa rin ang namili, ng gown, flowers, invitations, venue, foods, gowns.

Garden Wedding.

Yun ang napili namin.

Pagkatapos kaming lagyan ng make up at ayusan ng buhok ay sinuot na namin ang among bridal gown. We are wearing all white bridal gown na magkakaiba lang ng design at klase. Yung bridal gown na match sa personality at taste namin. Pagkasuot namin ng gown ay tumayo kaming tatlo sa harapan ng malaking salamin at tinignan ang mga repleksyon namin.

"We're so beautiful..."

"Ilang oras na lang ikakasal na tayo, ikakasal na ko, I would be lying if I say I'm not scared. I'm afraid I won't see you besties as often, or that I won't be able to call on you whenever I need." Jaise said.

"Ano ka ba. After our honeymoon magkikita pa rin tayo at makakapagusap pa rin tayo pagkatapos nun." "Even though we will now lend our wisdom, love, and care to somebody else special in our life, I know that my heart is big enough to make room for both of  you. Alam kong ganun din kayo." I said as I walk to the table kung saan andun ang champagne. I gave them champagne glass. Yun may laman.

"If anything were to change it's because we let it, not because you are married to someone just as extraordinary as you are. There will be a change but that change will be better. And we will be more happier." Gale said.

"Cheers for love and happiness?" Tinaas ko ang champagne glass ko sa harapan ko. Yung parang yung repleksyon ko ang ka cheers ko pero yung mata ko ay nasa bestfriends ko.
