Wedding Day

"Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. I'm...I'm really the princess of your society?" saad ni Athena na halatadong naguguluhan parin. "Your society." pagtatama ni Cyril sa sinabi ng kasintahan.

"But yes, you are, baby. You are." dagdag pa nito.

"I'll just take some sleep, mahal." bulong ni Cyril at kinuha ang kamay ni Athena and intertwined it with him. "You should be. Ilang araw kang walang tulog." Athena answered while her other hand's caressing Cyril's hair.

They're already at home. Ng makaalis ang ama ni Athena sa headquarter nila, nagyaya na rin si Athena na umuwi. It's already afternoon and the truth shock both of them, lalong lalo na si Athena.

Hindi siya makapaniwala sa nalaman. Kahit kailan hindi pumasok sa isip niya na magiging prinsesa siya ng kung ano mang society yun.

'Does this mean, I'm stronger than my baby?' Athena though and looked at Cyril who's sleeping in her lap.

Nasa sala sila at nakaupo siya sa couch samantalang nakahiga naman si Cyril at ginawang unan ang lap niya. She keeps on caressing his hair so he can sleep peacefully.

Halatado kasing pagod ang kasintahan niya at mukhang ngayon lang ito makakapagpahinga. He better get a good rest. Dahil sigurado siyang may kakaharapin silang malaki paggising nito.

-----

"Mahal, are you ready?" napalingon siya sa kaniyang likuran kung nasaan ang pintuan ng kaniyang kwarto ng marinig niya ang boses ni Cyril doon. "I am." sagot niya at tinitigan muli ang sarili sa salamin. "I am so ready."

"Then let's go. They are all waiting for us." he said. She smiled and nodded.

Today is their big day. Magtatapos na silang parehas sa college! They will finally graduate! After so many years, sa wakas mahahawakan narin nila amg diploma na kanilang hinahangad.

They walked at the stairs, holding each others hand.

Bumungad sa kanila ang sari-sarili nilang magulang. Her Mama and Papa is there and so Cyril's parents.

"Look at them, honey. Aren't they so sweet?" bulong ng ina ni Athena sa asawa nito na nakapalupot ang kamay sa beywang niya. Ngumiti ang ama ni Athena. "Your right. They look so good together."

Ng makababa sila ng tuluyan, sabay silang bumati sa mga ito at halata ang saya sa mukha ng kanilang mga magulang ng makita ng mga ito na nagkakasundo sila.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" magiliw na saad ng ina ni Athena at nauna ng lumabas.

"Convoy na lang tayo, Mom. I'll drive my car and Athena's coming with me." ani Cyril sa kaniyang ina na agad naman nitong tinanguan.

Ng makasakay sa sari-sariling sasakyan, hindi na sila nag aksaya pa ng oras. Kaagad na silang pumunta sa Academy.

Masaya si Athena dahil sa wakas ay gragraduate na rin sila. After all this years, after all the hardships, after all what happened.

"You okay?" tanong ni Cyril sa kasintahan ng mapansin niyang hindi ito mapakali. "Oo. I'm just excited."

Nilingon naman siya ni Athena. Kinuha ang libre niyang kamay at hinawakan ng mahigpit. "Why? Mind telling me, love?"

Cyril sighed. "I'm scared that after this graduation, everything will change. Alam mo namang plano nating magpakasal after graduation, right?"

Athena nodded. Oo, yun ang plano nila. They'll get married after they graduate. "And?"

"You, finally getting tied to me is making me scared. Mas lalo kang malalapit sa panganib. Nasubukan na nating dalawa yun, ilang beses na. At sigurado akong mas magiging delikado ang kalagayan mo pag nalaman nilang asawa na kita. I don't want to put your life in danger…but I can't lose you too."

'So that's why he's scared.' sa isip isip ni Athena.

Mas hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa kamay ng kasintahan. "Just be there, love, and I'll be safe. Alam kung hindi mo ako pababayaan. And are you forgetting that your fiancee is the Underground Society Princess?"

He chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. I'm not forgetting."

Gumaan ang loob ni Athena ng makitang wala na ang takot sa mukha ni Cyril. "Don't worry. I know Papa won't let anything happen to me."

"You're right. As least your Papa's there. That can make my worried heart calm a little."

Natawa na lang si Athena kay Cyril. "You're so cute." she teases him. "C'mon, not that one. Mahina ang puso ko pagdating sayo!"

Mas lalo siyang natawa sa naging tugon nito.

-----

"Nakakapagod!" impit ni Athena sabay bagsak ng katawan sa couch. Halos half a day din ang tinagal ng kanilang graduation and it may be one of the best experience in their life.

"I'll just take a bath, love. Babalik din ako, magpahinga ka muna." Cyril muttered and put a kiss on Athena's forehead.

Sa pagod ni Athena, tumango lang ang ginawa niya. Ipinikit niya ang mata at agad siyang dinalaw ng antok.

-----

Matapos maligo at magbihis ni Cyril, kaagad siyang bumalik kay Athena.

And what he saw makes him chuckled.

Tulog na tulog si Athena at humihilik pa ito. Mukhang pagod na pagod nga ang kasintahan niya.

Nilapitan niya ito at pinunasan ang pawis na tumutulo sa gilid ng noo nito. "You are sure tired." he whispered before carrying her carefully off the couch.

Umakyat siya sa taas at naglakad papunta ng kaniyang kwarto. Maingat niya iyong binuksan at naglakad papalapit ng kama at maayos na ibinaba ang dalaga.

Bumaba ang paningin niya sa suot nito. Hindi pa pala ito nakapagpalit. Mabilis siyang kumuha ng maluwang na damit sa kaniyang cabinet at ibinaba iyon sa kama.

'Now, what will I do?' tanong niya sa sarili.

Napalunok siyang umiwas ng tingin kay Athena. "She need to change. Puno ng pawis ang damit niya." bulong niya.

Pero paano niya ito bibihisan kung hindi niya man lang ito matignan?

Dumaing siya bago hinawakan ang laylayan ng damit ni Athena. Saglit niyang ipinikit ang mata bago ibinalik kay Athena ang tingin.

"Stay focus, Cyril. Magkakasakit siya pag hindi mo ito ginawa." he told himself. "I'll just make this fast."

Mabilis na itinaas niya na ang dress na suot ng dalaga ngunit maingat na idinaan ito sa ulo niya.

Nakahinga siya ng maluwag ng magwagi siyang matanggal ito. Plano niya ng kunin ang damit na ipapalit niya dito ng madaanan nf kaniyang mata ang katawan ni Athena na natatakpan lang ng underwear.

Kaagad na napapikit si Cyril, kinuha ang damit at tumalikod kay Athena.

Muli siyang napalunok at sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya. "Fuck."

At dahil nakahubad na ang dalaga, sigurado si Cyril na lalamigin ito pag hindi pa siya nagmadali kaya muli siyang humarap at mabilis na kinumutan ito.

He sighed loudly when Athena's body is covered. "This is plain torture."

Isinuot niya na kay Athena ang kaniyang damit habang patuloy niyang iniiwas ang paningin sa katawan nito.

He walked fast towards the door when he succeeded.

Napasandal siya sa pinto ng kwarto habang hinihingal. This makes him nervous than when he's fighting.

Pinunasan niya ang pawis na tumatagatak sa kaniyang mukha. He's heart is palpitating so fast.

Pinikit niya ang mata at muling bumuntong hininga at bumaba para uminom ng tubig.

After he drunk a cup of water, he walked towards the living room and slammed his body to the couch.

Nagising ang buong kaluluwa niya dahil sa nangyari kanina.

Pilit niyang kinalma at sarili ang ng tuluyan siyang kumalma ay pumasok naman sa isip niya ang kasal nila.

Hindi niya mapigilang ngumuti. "She's be legally mine after two days. Finally, she'll be Mrs. Romero." bulong niya sa sarili at sinubukan ng magpahinga.

-----

"Wahhh! Ikakasal ka na talaga!!" malakas na natawa si Athena sa sinigaw ni Gary habang maluha luhang nakatingin sa kaniya.

"Ikakasal lang ako pero hindi pa ako mamamatay. Wag niyo naman akong iyakan." nakangiting sagot niya.

"Jade's right. Bawal ang drama ngayon kasi pag umiyak tayo, masisira ang ayos natin kaya tumigil kayo." saad ni Lenia.

Sabay sabay namang napatingin sa kaniya ang tatlo. "Tsk. Is that really coming from you?" sarkastikong sabi ni Joan.

Mabilis na napapahid ng luha sa mukha si Lenia. "Eh kasi naman! Ikakasal na sa wakas yung bestfriend ko." she said and tears starts falling from her eyes again.

"Lenia!!" sabay na tawag sa kaniya ni Gary at Joan habang tumatawa lang si Athena. "Sira sira na yang makeup. Tumigil ka na nga!" saway ni Joan dito.

Mas natawa si Athena ng suminghot singhot ito at pinigilan ng umiyak.

This is her big day. Cyril and her will finally become one.

Tumingin sa salamin na nasa harapan niya si Athena. She looks so elegant and gorgeous. Simple lang ang makeup niya pero napakaganda nung tignan.

Her eyeshadow are a mix of auburn and silver while her lips have a shade of rose-like red. They made her a messy updo with a white flower rhinestone pearl hair clip at the back.

Naiiyak siya pero pinigilan niya ang kaniyang mga luha dahil ayaw niyang masira ang ayos niya. She sighed as calmed herself.

Nalipat ang paningin niya sa pinto ng may kumatok doon. Her mother enter the room.

"Hi, my baby." her mother greeted her.

Nagpaalam naman sila Lenia para makapag usap sila ng kaniyang ina.

"Hey, Mama. D-Do I look okay?" she asked.

Her mother approach her. "You're look perfect, my dear."

Pwumesto ang kaniyang ina sa kaniyang likuran at pinagmasadan siya sa salamin. "My only child is finally getting married, I don't know how to express my overwhelming happiness right now."

Nginitian niya ng matamis ang ina. "Thank you for everything, Mama. I love you so much."

"I love you too, baby. So so much."

Naglakad papuntang gilid ang kaniyang ina at iniharap ang kaniyang mukha rito. "Always remember, baby, that Mama will always be here for you. At ngayong magkakapamilya ka na, sana lagi mong tatandaan, anak, na mahalin mo ang iyong pamilya hanggang sa abot ng makakaya mo. Strengthen your family and always be there for them." naluha luhang bulong ng kaniyang ina. "I know that Cyril will always be there to protect you and keep you safe."

"Alam kung hindi na lingid sa isipan mo ang nagyayari sa mundo natin. I know that your Papa already told you everything and I can't help but to be scared for your safety. But I trust your soon-to-be husband. May tiwala ako kay Cyril, anak. Alam kong tulad siya ng Papa mo na hindi ako pinabayaan."

"So now, my heart is calm because you already found the man who will be there for you for the rest of your life."

Sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na napigilan ni Athena ang umiyak. Her mother's words touched her. Alam niyang mahal na mahal siya ng mga magulang niya at mahal na mahal niya rin ang mga ito.

And she's always be grateful to God for giving her an incomparable parents.

Maingat na pinunasan ng kaniyang ina ang luhang nasa kaniyang mga mata. "Don't cry, baby. Your makeup will ruined."

Napangiti na lang siya sa palabirong tona ng boses ng kaniyang. "I love you, Mama."

"I love you too, my dear."

Tumayo ng maayos ang kaniyang ina at pinunasan rin ang mukhang may mga luha. "Okay! Now, you should change! C'mon!" her mithere cheerfully said and pulled her up.

"Teka, tatawagin ko sila Lenia para matulungan tayo." dagdag nito at saglit na tinawag ang mga kaibigan niya.

While she walked near her wedding dress that's laying on the bed with her different accessories.

Napakaganda ng mga yun. Those are spouting simplicity but at the same time, elegance.

Napalingon siya sa pinto ng bumukas iyon. And her friends with her mother entered the room. Isinara nila ang pinto ang excited na lumapit sa kaniya.

Maingat na kinuha ni Lenia at Gary ang kaniyang wedding dress at inaayos naman ni Joan at ng kaniyang ina ang mga accessories na isusuot pa sa kaniya.

She removed her robe and slowly and carefully wear her wedding dress. Ingat na ingat siyang hindi masira ang kaniyang ayos at tinulungan naman siya nila Lenia at Gary.

When she finally wore it, Lenia fixed the back while Gary fixed the end of it.

She's wearing a v-neck white lace wedding dress. Ang sleeve nito ay gawa sa see-through-lace at umabot sa kamay niya ang dulo nito. The last of the sleeve looks like a glove but not really covering her fingers. May mga butas kasi yun kung saan niya dapat isuksok ang kaniyang mga daliri. So, the one covered are her whole arm and her palm.

The dress cling to her waist and make it skinnier while it bloomed from her waist up to the end. Her back is also on full show. Expose ang kaniyang likod at ang veil lang na ikakabit sa kaniya ang tatakip doon.

Lenia and Gary put her earring and her necklace. While the one who put her veil is her mother while Joan helped to fixed it. She's wearing a crystal chapel length wedding veil that covered her whole back and face. Nakakabit yun sa kaniyang buhok. The front's length is up to her chest while the back's length is already on the floor.

Sunod niyang isinuot ang kaniyang high heel. It's a white platform sandal with gold cherry blossoms and pearls at the back.

Ng matapos siya ay pumunta ang tatlong kaibigan niya at ang kaniyang ina sa kaniyang harapan. Titig na titig ang mga ito sa kaniya at mababakas ang kasiyahan sa mga mata nito.

"My goodness. You look magnificent."

"Perfect."

"And drop-dead gorgeous."

Sari-sariling komento ng kaniyang mga kaibigan na agad niya namang tinawanan. "Am I?" tanong niya at sabay sabay silang tumango.

Nalipat ang tingin niya sa ina na hindi man lang nagsalita. "Ma, how do I look?"

Hindi siya sinagot ng ina kundi naglakad ito papalapit sa kama at may kinuha doon na box.

The box color is antique white and the size is slightly larger than ring's box.

Naglakad papalapit sa kaniya ang ina at pwumesto sa kaniyang harapan.

Dahan dahan nitong binuksan ang kahon at bumungad sa kaniya ang napakagandang bracelet.

It's a white cherry blossom vine bracelet that totally match her whole outfit.

Inangat niya ang tingin sa ina. "M-Mama..."

Her mother smiled at her. "This bracelet was passed to my mother when she got married and she gave it to me when your Papa and I got married. And now..."

Kinuha ng kaniyang ina ang pulseras sa kahon at ibinaba nito ang kahon. Masayang ngumiti ang kaniyang ina bago nito kinuha ang kanan niyang kamay. "I'm giving it to you." she said before putting it on Athena's wrist.

Nanatili ang paningin niya sa bracelet kahit tapos na itong isuot sa kaniya ng ina. "It's beautiful." she whispered.

Her mother hold her hand kaya napaangat siya rito ng tingin. "Be happy. That's my only wish for you, my precious daughter."

Mahigpit rin siyang gumanti ng hawak sa ina. "I will, Mama. I will."

-----

"Bro, kinakabahan ka ba?" nanunuksong tanong ni Christian sa kaibigan na hindi mapakali, kanina pa.

Tumigil sa pabalik balik na paglalakad si Cyril at tinignan ng masama si Christian. "Shut up." he answered and starts walking back and fort again.

Napailing na lang ang tatlo niyang kaibigan sa pinaggagawa niya. "Tumigil ka na kasi sa paglalakad diyan. Nakakahilo ka." saad naman ni Brent ngayon.

"Brent's right, Mark. Just calm down." Michael said and put his hands inside his pocket.

Nasa simbahan na sila at ilang minuto na lang ay darating na kaniyang bride pero ito siya, hindi parin mapakali sa sobrang kaba.

Kung ano anong pumapasok sa kaniyang isip na mas lalo lang nagpapabaliw sa kaniya.

"What if she realized that she don't love me anymore? What if she back out? What if she run away? What if-"

Natigil siya sa pagsasalita ng marinig niya ang pagtunog ng kampana ng simbahan. "Finally, the wedding will start." bulong ni Michael at pumunta na dapat nitong pwestuhan kasama si Christian.

He took a very deep sigh, closed his eyes and calmed himself. He should pull himself together, this is their big day, hindi niya hahayaang masira ito.

Ng marinig niyang tumugtog ang pinili nilang kanta ni Athena, doon niya minulat ang mata at tumingin sa harapan.

[Precissional Song : Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel]

Athena's mother was the one who walked down the aisle. Lumuluha ito habang naglalakad. After she reached the front, she takes the seat on the front row of the left.

"I'm going, bro. See you at the altar." saad ni Brent na nasa kaniyang harapan.

Brent is his best man. Actually, he's not the one who choose his best man kundi ang mga kaibigan niya mismo. Nag away away pa ito at ng malaman nilang si Lenia ang maid of honor ni Athena, wala na silang nagawa kundi ibigay kay Brent ang best man.

Muli siyang huminga ng malalim habang hinihintay ang kaniyang paglalakad.

Ng makita niyang tumigil na si Brent sa paglalakad at pwumesto sa kanan ng altar, nagsimula na siyang maglakad.

Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang kabang nararamdaman. Sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya na para bang gusto nitong tumalon palabas sa kaniyang dibdib.

Mabilis niyang isinuksok ang kamay sa bulsa ng maramdaman yung manginig. Hindi niya alam kung bakit siya kinakabahan pero alam niyang napakasaya niya ngayon.

Ng makarating siya sa harap, pumunta na siya sa gilid ni Brent at umayos ng tayo. Ipinako niya ang paningin sa pinto ng simbahan at tinitignan ang susunod na mga papasok.

His parents were the one who entered next to him. At sumunod sa mga ito sila Michael at Christian na kasama sila Joan at Gary.

Their groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Kasunod nilang pumasok si Lenia na namamasa na ang mga mata at mukhang iiyak na.

Saglit na napatingin si Cyril kay Brent when he heard him chuckled while staring intently at Lenia.

Binalik niya ang tingin sa harapan at naglalakad na ang ring bearer at flower girl sa gitna.

Ng malipat sa dulo ang kaniyang paningin, kitang kita niya ang nakasarang pinto ng simbahan at alam niyang nasa kabila nun ang pinakamamahal niyang babae na maya maya'y magiging asawa niya na.

Sa isipang yun ay hindi naiwasan ni Cyril na ngumiti. Sa isipang ilang saglit na lang ay magiging kanya na si Athena, nawala ang kabang nararamdaman niya at napalitan ng tuwa. Naguumapaw na kasiyahan.

Tumigil ang kanta at napalitan iyon.

[Bride's Walking Down The Aisle Song : You And I by One Direction (Piano Slower Ballad Cover)]

After the song changes, the church's door slowly opened. Unti unting sinakop ng liwanag ang buong simbahan at unti unti ring naaninag ni Cyril ang babaeng makakasama niya sa habang buhay.

Bumalik ang malakas na pagkabog ng dibdib ni Cyril but this time, it's different. He's not nervous, he's overwhelmed.

Athena starts walking down the aisle with her father. Sa totoo lang, kanina pa siya kinakabahan pero pinipigilan niya ang sarili dahil baka matumba siya sa paglalakad, nakakahiya.

But when her eyes meet Cyril's, parang tumigil ang mundo niya. Nawala ang buong nasa paligid niya and Cyril is the only one she saw.

Nakatingin din ito sa kaniya at kitang kita niya ang pagmamahal na nasa mga mata nito.

Every memories of them came to her again. Simula ng magkakilala sila, hanggang sa makagraduate sila. Lahat lahat bumalik sa kaniya. At dahil doon, hindi niya na napigilan ang luha niya.

Ang dami na pala nilang napagdaan but just like the song says, Cyril and her can make it till the end.

Ng tumigil ang kanta, doon niya lang narealized na nakarating na pala siya.

"Take care of my daughter." her father said to Cyril and tapped his shoulder. "I will..."

"Papa. From now on, you should also call me Papa."

Ngumiti si Cyril sa kaniyang ama. "Papa... I will, Papa."

"Good."

Humarap si Athena sa ama at mahigpit itong niyakap. "I love you, Papa. Thank you sa lahat."

His father hugs her back. "I love you too, my princess. Always be happy, anak."

Kumawala sila sa isa't isa at iniabot ng kaniyang ama ang kamay niya kay Cyril bago ito umupo katabi ang kaniyang ina.

"Finally..." Cyril whispered at her. Nginitian niya naman ito. "Yeah...finally."

She clinged her hand at Cyril's before they walked next the altar. Inalalayan naman siya nito ng may paakyat.

"Marriage is a gift from God given to us so that we might experience the joy of unconditional love with a lifelong partner. God designed marriage to be an intimate relationship between a man and a woman." pag uumpisa ni Father.

"Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. We gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, and to cherish the words which shall unite Mark Cyril Romero and Jade Athena Lee in marriage."

"You have come here from near and from far away to share in this commitment now they make to one another, to offer your love and support to their union, and to allow Mark Cyril Romero and Jade Athena Lee to start their married life together surrounded by the people dearest and most important to them."

"Mark Cyril Romero and Jade Athena Lee, please join hands, look at one another now and remember this moment in time."

As Father said, Athena and Cyril hold each other's hand and look at each other's eyes.

"Mark Cyril Romero, do you take Jade Athena Lee to be your wife?"

"I do." Cyril answered with so much love.

"Jade Athena Lee, do you take the Mark Cyril Romero to be your husband?"

"I do."

"Mark Cyril Romero, please take Jade Athena Lee's hand and repeat after me."

"I, Mark Cyril Romero, take you, Jade Athena Lee, as my beloved wife from this day forward. I take you to be my spouse. To have and to hold, in tears and in laughter, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until the day I die. "

"I, Jade Athena Lee, take you, Mark Cyril Romero, as my beloved husband from this day forward. I take you to be my spouse. To have and to hold, in tears and in laughter, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until the day I die. "

After that, the ring ceremony began.

"Your wedding ring is a symbol of your promise to one another. The ring, an unbroken, never-ending circle, is a symbol of committed, unending love. Mark Cyril Romero, as you place this ring on Bride's finger, you shall say your vow."

Kinuha ni Cyril ang singsing at isinuot yun sa daliri ni Athena. "Athena, with this ring I promise to choose you over and over again. I'n standing here in front of you today, in front of everyone to promise that I will hold your hand and to never let go. I swear to my life to protect you with all means even if I have to sacrifice mine. I promise to make you the happiest woman alive. I promise to be the person you can trust for unconditional love, respect and support for the rest of our live. I won't stop loving you until the day I die and I will sacrifice everything for you. I promise that if God take us away from each other, I will still only love you. Only you." Cyril didn't stop his tears from falling. Hindi siya nahihiyang ipakita kung gaano niya kamahal ang dalaga.

Athena took the ring and put it to Cyril while tears are also flowing from her eyes. "Cyril, with this ring, I promise to be your partner in life, to walk with you hand in hand through life's triumph and sorrows. I vow to be always be there for you and care for you in times of need. I will always accept you as you are and love you for who you are. I promise to be there for you even in bad times or in good times. And I swear to still find you in the other life and marry you again. So, Cyril, don't you dare ever leave me, okay? Because I will always be safe and fine as long as you are by my side. I love you and still going to love you until death do us part." walang tigil ang luha ni Athena habang nagsasalita at titig na titig kay Cyril.

"Mark Cyril Romero and Jade Athena Lee, you have come here today of your own free will and in the presence of family and friends, have declared your love and commitment to each other. You have given and received a ring as a symbol of your promises. By the power of your love and commitment to each other, and by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

"You may now share your first kiss as husband and wife."

Nakangiting itinaas ni Cyril ang veil na tumatakip sa mukha ni Athena. Saglit niyang pinunasan ang mga luha nito at tinitigan sa mata. "I love you." he whispered before pulling her for a kiss.

Kaagad namang inilagay ni Athena ang kamay sa batok ni Cyril at hinalikan rin ito pabalik.

"Congratulations. Friends and family, I now present to you the newly married couple!"

Narinig nilang dalawa ang malakas na sigawan at hiyawan ng mga tao. Everyone is happy for them. The place is filled with so much love.

Mabagal na minulat ni Athena ang mata ng tuluyang humiwalay ang labi nilang mag asawa sa isa't isa.

"I love too you." she answered him. Cyril chuckled before dropping a three little sweet kisses in her lips.

"Mabuhay ang bagong kasal!!"

Natatawa silang dalawa na humarap sa kanilang mga pamilya na naghihiyawan at tuwang tuwa para sa kanila.

Inalalayan ni Cyril sa Athena na bumaba sa altar at masaya silang naglakad palabas ng simbahan.

"You are really mine now, Mrs. Jade Athena Romero." Cyril whispered not knowing that something big will happened.

"And you are also mine now, my beloved husband."

Ng tuluyan silang makalabas ng simabahan, isang bangungot ang bumungad sa kanilang lahat.

Cyril heard a lots of gunfires towards them and the should be happy moments of their life becomes their own nightmares.

"No!!" he shouted as Athena falls into his arms, her whole body is shot and his wife's white wedding dress becomes bloody red.
