CHAPTER 2
As I walk seeing him standing near the aisle made my heart flatter and my heart started to beat fast. Hes so handsome with his all white attire. I smiled bitterly. As I saw him yawning as if he's bored. That's the cue na napipilitan lang talaga siya sa setup na'to. I fake a smile while my tears started to flow.
"I'm happy for you anak." Dad said at hinalikan ako sa pisngi. I smiled at him as well to mom when she hug me. "We love you..." mom mouthed on me and I smile at them as a reply.
"Congratulations to the both of you son." Daddy greet Caleb with a wide smile and Caleb do the same and do the man hug. "Please take good care of our unica hija" Ani dad at kahit napipilitan tumango nalamang ito at ngumiti kay daddy. Then they turn their backs for them to have a sit.
I look at Caleb and smile at him but he didn't even bother to smile back at me. Masakit oo, na ang taong mahal na mahal ko ay hindi manlang ako mabigyan ng kahit na isang saglit na ngiti.
Pumumwesto ang pari sa harap namin at nag sagawa ng mga seremonyas.
"Rianne, do you take Caleb to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?"
"I do father."
"Caleb, do you take Rianne to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?"
"I do."
Humarap kami ni Caleb sa isa't-isa para sa pag bitaw ng vows namin.
"I, Caleb Sarmiento, take you, Rianne Fuentes, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will love and honor you all the days of my life. And take and wear this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
Saka inisuot ang sing sing sakin.
From the time the priest ask him until his vow, his voice didn't change, it's still the usual cold voice he's using. You can't see any emotions in his voice even in his eyes and it makes my heart hurt. What do i expect? Na mag karoon siya ng feelings sakin? That's Absurd! I just heave a sigh.
"I, Rianne Fuentes, take you, Caleb Sarmiento, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will love and honor you all the days of my life. And take and wear this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Saka ko din isinuot ang sing sing sakanya.
"And now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Hinalikan niya ako sa labi pero mabilis lamang ito.
Nag palakpakan ang lahat at masayang nakangiti saamin. I even saw mom crying while laughing habang dinadaluhan siya ni daddy. I feel solace seing my parents happy, makes me too. Gagawin ko ang lahat makita lang silang masaya kahit kaligayahan ko pa ang kapalit.
Tinawag kami ng photographer para makapag take ng pictures with Caleb. My husband, ang taong makakasama ko habang buhay.
After our shot, family picture naman ang tinake ng photographer. They are so happy and i admit seing them this happy, i can't even hamper but to smile.
I'm now a wife of the man that i truly love. I'm now Rianne Fuentes - Sarmiento.
