He Cheated.

"May 16 of twenty thousand and twenty-one, I dance with the most beautiful girl I've ever known." He muttered huskily in my ears.

"You make me blushed," I said shyly.

"Really?" He said.

"Really." I mockingly said.

"I would rather spends my years with my girl, right now." He seriously said while looking into my eyes he then kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Raven."

"I love you too, Nix."

But then everything change.

True loves seems sureal. Sa panahon ngayon, sa libro nalang talaga ang may tunay na pag-ibig. It's hard to believe, that happy ending does really exist to this cruel world.

He cheated.

If love is what they say it is, why is it easy for other people to change their heart? Why do people, who claimed to be inlove, cheat?

Pumalakpak ang lahat nang matapos ang wedding vows nang dalawang taong nangako sa Diyos na...

Sana ay dapat ako lang.

I sighed.

Napatingin si Nix sa 'kin.

Who happens to the people who's love won't be reciprocated?

I turned my back to them, hoping that he will talk to me and explained me everything.

But..

He didn't chase me.

"Dad, I really saw, Raven, here!" I said.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong simbahan ngunit hindi ko na siya nakita.

"Nix, wala siya dito."

"Sigurado akong nakita ko siya, Dad! Hindi ako namamalik-mata!" I hissed.

"Just focus on your bride than to that girl na matagal ng wala, Nix." He said seriously then walked away.

"Nix, you okay?" Napalingon ako kay Rhys when she said that.

"Did you see her, again?"

"Yeah."

"I saw her too, kanina." She sighed then pat my shoulder.

"Why did you have to do this to me, Raven."

Bulong ko.

"Ikaw dapat ang pakakasalanan ko pero bakit mo 'ko iniwan."

"You really know how to hurt me, huh?"

"I'm sorry. It's my fault."

A tear escape from my cheeks.

"It's not your fault. Forgive yourself. Move on is the key, Mahal. Iloveyou." Napaiyak ako lalo nang narinig ko nanaman ang kanyang boses, dinama ko ang hangin na kunting-kunti nang nawawala.

"I will. I love you too."

"Bakit ka nagpakasal gayon' may mahal ka namang iba?" Kalix said, her suitor slash boy best friend.

"She said that I should marry her, sister. I don't want her to be hurt so I did it for her not for me. Then she left me."

"No, she didn't left you. She left because she wants to surprise you. She just said that when her sister said that she's pregnant with your baby. After saying those words 'Marry my sister for me' pumayag ka diba? She is devastated because of what she hear, Raven call me and tell everything to me but then biglang tumigil ang tawagan namin, nabalitaan ko nalang na nabangga ang kotse niya na sana papunta sa 'yo para surpresahin ka, she didn't survived. She died because of you!" He said angrily.

"Sana masaya ka sa piling niya."

Napatulala ako sa huling sinabi niya.

No, both side is wrong.

Rivah is not pregnant. Sinabi niya lang 'yon dahil gusto namin surprisahin si Raven, kasi sabi ni Rivah na siya na bahala sa sasabihin niya, I didn't know na 'yun pala ang sinabi niya.

Handa na lahat. Ang engaged ring. Then that accident happen.

May isa pang tanong ang bumagabag sa 'kin.

"If I really love Raven then why did I marry Rivah."

"I'm sorry, Mahal."

Today is May 16 of twenty thousand and Twenty-five. Our special day.
