Hi, My Name is Science and I am your wife

hi, my name is science and i am your wife.

"Tanggap mo ba ako?" tanong niya habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.

Tumingin ako sa kaniya dahilan para magsalubong ang mga mata namin. Worries and fears are visible in his eyes and written all over his face.

My answer worries and fears him.

"We already embraced each other's flaws and imperfections all these time. Ngayon pa ba kita hindi tatanggapin? My answer to that question will always be yes, Math. Kahit paulit-ulit mong itatanong 'yan sa akin, pareho lang ang magiging sagot ko," nakangiting sagot ko at inihilig ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.

My smile faded when I already hid my face enough from him. I want to cry. I want to shout. I want to take this pain away. Life is such a cruel. Life is so unpredictable. Destiny plays dirty. It doesn't play fair.

Out of million people, why us? Why him?

"Kahit makakalimutan na naman kita bukas?"

Napapikit ako ng mariin sa tanong niya. How I wish when I open my eyes, this was all just a dream.

But no... It's real. We're on reality and reality sucks.

"Science..."

Sa bawat bigkas niya ng pangalan ko parang may tumutusok sa puso ko. May kirot. May sakit. May hapdi. It feels like I am being stabbed for a hundred times.

Knowing that after how many times he called my name for this day, alam kong bukas ay makakalimutan na naman niya 'yon.

"Shhh, Math. Hindi ako mapapagod. Hinding-hindi. Kahit magdamag ko pang ipaalala sa'yo kung paano tayo nagsimula at kung paano tayo humantong sa ganito."

Naiiyak na ako. Naiiyak na ako sa sitwasyon namin. I want to cry these all out. Gusto kong iiyak ang lahat ng pait, sakit at hapdi na nararamdaman ko. But what can I do? Crying won't help.

All we did is to love. Pero bakit ganito? Ito ba 'yung nagagawa ng pagmamahal? Ito ba 'yung tanging paraan para mabuo ang love story namin? Ganito ba talaga ang magiging love story namin hanggang sa huli?

"Science, just tell me if you're tired."

Hindi ko na mapigilan hindi mapaiyak. Pumatak na mula sa kaliwang mata ko ang butil ng luha na kanina pa nagbabadyang tumulo.

Tiningnan ko siya at pilit na ngumiti, "Math, I'll never get tired of you. Kahit paulit-ulit at kahit masakit ay hinding-hindi ako magsasawa at mapapagod. I'll stay, Math. Even those billions of people walks away from you. I will always choose to stay and no other place than beside you."

"Science, thank you."

This time, my smile turned to a genuine one. 'Yung hindi na pilit. I showed him my smile with an assurance.

"You don't have to thank me, Math. I am doing this because I love you."

"In the name of God, I, Scienceinea Montejo take you, Mathiu Dizon, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death. That is my solemn vow."

"In the name of God, I, Mathiu Dizon take you, Scienceinea Montejo, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death. That is my solemn vow."

In the name of God, we made a vow. A vow that will make our relationship into a deeper one.

To have and to hold..

From this day forward..

For better.

For worse.

For richer.

For poorer.

In SICKNESS and in HEALTH.

To love and to cherish.

Until parted by death.

"In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy wedlock, you may now kiss the bride," the priest declared while a big smile plastered on his lips.

Hinarap ko si Mathiu ng nakangiti. Sandali ko pa siyang tinitigan sa mata na para bang nangungusap.

The smiles on our lips says it all. Ang aliwalas ng mukha at kinang ng mga luhang nagbabadya sa mga mata namin ang nagsasabi kung gaano kami kasaya ngayon.

"I love you, Science," dinig kong bulong niya habang nakangiti.

"I love you to, Math."

Sa pagkakataong 'yon, our lips met. We kissed. We kissed with love. We filled ourselves by the kiss we shared.

We're married. I'm tied up to him. And like what I vowed, until parted by death, I'll make him remember everything. Each day. Everyday.

Mathiu suffers from a short term memory loss. He forgets everything about yesterday. When I say everything, it's literally everything. To tell you, he even forget his own name and even me, he forgets about me.

As what I've promised, I'll never get tired of waking up every morning and greeting him, "Hi, My name is Science and I am your Wife."
