Epilogue
"Hindi ka iiyak?"
My forehead creased as I glanced at my best man. Ngumisi siya sa akin at inilibot ang paningin sa malawak na simbahan. I took a deep breath and fixed my cuffs, kahit pa maayos naman 'yon.
"Why would I cry?" My brows drew together.
"You're marrying the girl you love since college! Ang lakas mo yata kay Lord. Sana all!" Tumawa si Brylle at sumaludo pa sa akin.
My jaw clenched as I try to smother my smirk. Bakit ako iiyak? Pinaghirapan ko 'yon, kaya bakit ako iiyak ngayon? I tilted my head and glanced at the visitors. It's not been long since we arrived here and we're only waiting now for my bride.
When Elais came back from Canada, she tried to find a job here. I offered a slot in our company but she declined. Aniya'y siya na ang bahala ro'n. Hindi na ako nagpumilit dahil gusto kong bigyan siya ng kalayaan sa mga gusto niya. She was accepted into an average private company and worked there for more than a year.
Pagkatapos ng kontrata niya ro'n ay hindi na muna siya naghanap ng trabaho para sa kasal namin. She wanted to be wed in Cagayan since it was the place where we met and where our love thrived. I couldn't disagree because she was so excited about it. She was hands-on with the wedding as much as I did.
"Your ex is in the crowd. Invited din siya." I shrugged at Brylle.
Nabura ang ngisi sa mukha niya pagkatapos ay muling inilibot ang paningin sa mga bisita. I can hear the wedding bells, making me tense a little. I haven't seen Elais for two days. Her parents were pretty traditional so they kept us apart for two days. Sa mansyon ako habang nasa bahay nila siya. Her mother helped with the wedding preparation along with my aunt who flew all the way from Chile, kasama ng ibang pamilya namin.
"Sino do'n?" Hilaw siyang ngumisi sa akin.
I shook my head and smirked at him. He's my best man and our maid of honor is Era's cousin, Meana.
"Iyong iniyakan mo." Simpleng sagot ko at sumulyap sa may malaking pintuan ng simbahan.
I heard him cough. His grin faltered as he shook his head at me. Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga at hindi tinanggal ang tingin sa may pintuan.
What's taking her so long? We talked on the phone last night and she was crying. Alam ko namang masaya siya pero ang bigat pa rin sa dibdib na marinig ang iyak niya. I badly wanted to see her last night and it took an ounce of me to calm myself. This morning I woke up so early. I feel anxious so I needed a morning run. Pinagalitan pa ako ni Tita dahil dapat daw ang nagre-relax ako.
"Wala akong maalala." Umiwas siya ng tingin. "Anyway, pakilala mo naman ako mamaya sa pinsan ni Era, the maid of honor, bro."
I glanced at him. He tilted his head to prove me a point. I saw Meana on the other end, talking to one of the bridesmaids. I smirked at him and tapped his shoulder.
"Her boyfriend is one of the groomsmen." My lips twitched. "Single pa naman yata iyong ex mo, ah?"
Seryoso niya akong tiningnan pagkatapos ay bahaw na ngumiti sa akin. He faked a laugh and made a face.
