We Got Married!

Thirty-Nine

Saturday Morning 

Madaling araw pa lang halos  gising na lahat ng mga dadalo sa kasal nila Kim at Nathan. 

Their wedding was supposed to be a public matter, with almost everyone in both of their respected families and members of their companies invited, after all this was an arranged marriage.

That all changed when the two unexpectedly fell in love. Ang kasal na dapat pang publiko ay naging pribado na. Their family made sure that Kim and Nathan's wedding would be between the two of them, their families, close friends, and God. 

Natulog na magkasama sila Nathan at Kim kasama ang anak nilang si Lucas, nauna nga lang nagising si Nathan sa kanilang tatlo dahil na rin sa sobrang saya nito. Dahan dahan niyang inalis ang kamay ni Lucas para di siya magising. 

Hinayaan niya na munang tulog ang magiging asawa at kanilang anak,hindi niya mapigilan ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. Bago siya lumabas, hindi niya napigilan ang mapangiti habang tinititigan ang kanyang magiging pamilya. 

Ngayon pa lang nagpapasalamat siya sa Diyos dahil sa blessing na ibinigay sa kanya. 

Nathan

Pagkababa niya sa lobby, nakita niya agad yung mga hinire ng mga magulang nila para mag set up sa kasal. Pati mommy at mama (mommy ni Kim) nandun rin. Nung makita ako ni mommy agad siyang lumapit sa akin at niyakap ako.

"I can't believe my baby's getting married today." 

"Mom..." 

"Let me talk muna." 

I nodded, she held my face. 

"You know, I never got the chance to apologize to you for treating you badly after your father passed away. Hindi ko dapat ginawa sayo yun, you were too young to experience that much pain. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Kimberly at ng dahil sa kanya, you gave me a second chance to be a mother to you. Sobrang swerte mo sa kanya, and I love her as my daughter already. Hindi ka na bata, and I know how much you've grown because of her. We'll always be here for you, no matter what happens."

Umiiyak na nakangiti sa mommy, I wiped her tears and hugged her tight. 

"Thank you mom." I whispered in her ears. 

"Nag m-moment na kayo agad, anong oras pa lang."

It's Dad, I couldn't help but chuckle. Hindi naman dad ang tawag ko sa kanya noon eh, I don't exactly remember how it happened. Pero nung mga oras na I thought I had lost Kim, siya yung dumamay sa akin. He made sure that I would stay strong para kay Lucas at para kay mommy. 

Umakbay si dad sa akin at tsaka ngumiti, "ready for your honeymoon?" 

I laughed, he paid pala for our honeymoon. It was his wedding gift for us, he rented a whole island in Maldives for Kim and I. 

"Hindi na kami bumabata ng mommy mo, baka gusto niyo ng sundan si Lucas." 

"Dad!" I said, embarrassed. 

Tumawa lang silang dalawa, which made me laugh as well. 

"Wow, nag moment hindi man lang nag yaya!"

"Oh great, sino gumising sa kanya?" I joked

"Ikakasal na siya, hahaha! Bye bye freedom!" 

"I don't care."

"Kuya, mahal ko pa rin si Kim." He said seriously, I gave him a death glare. Mag iiskandalo pa ata ang loko.

"Joke lang! Biro lang!" 

"I think I need to talk to Jillian." 

Umakbay siya sa akin, "uy kuya, walang ganyan. Ang hirap amuhin ng babaeng yun eh!" 

I smirked, "alam ko." 

"Ay walang hiya!" 

"Ano problema mo?"

"Wag ka kasi mag sumbong! Biro nga lang diba?"

"I know." 

"You know naman pala!" 

Seriously, can't he take a joke? Tss!

"Jeroam, I think nag bibiro lang kuya mo?" Dad

"Ay, joke ba yun? Tsk! Pano kasi laging nakabusangot itsura ni kuya."

"At least gwapo pa rin ako." 

"Ay nako, lokohan na po ito."

"Kayong dalawa talaga, tama na nga yan. Nathaniel, you need to get ready. May mga pictures na kailangan pang itake ng mga wedding photographer, the ceremony starts at 4!"

"I don't like lates!" Dad, Jeroam, and I all said in unison and then we all laughed after. 

"Ay nako kayo talaga! Nathan, gisingin mo na si Lucas. They need him for the shots, and you Jeroam, maligo ka na rin! Ikaw naman Mister, samahan mo ako."
