The Special Chapter: The Wedding Vows

Our wedding was so special for me when it finally happened. I still couldn't believe that I will ended up here, with her.

My tears started to fell when I saw her, waliing down the aisle with her off shoulder long dress while holding a bouquet of flower. Her tummy was a bit visible because of our future kid or even kids.

I couldn't even care, she's still beautiful in my eyes. She's glowing day by day, it was fine for me. Even when her hormones changed because of her pregnancy.

"Kinakabahan kana ba?" Bulong sa akin ni France na syang ikinalingon ko.

I nodded. "A bit."

"Congratulations man, you deserve it." He tapped my shoulder when my wife is in my front already.

"I hope you too." I smirked when he rolled his eyes.

I looked to my beautiful wife and held her hand and kissed it before we both face in front of the father who will blessed our marriage. Until it's our time to shared our experience and how we started.

"Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko pero, ikaw yung tao na sa unang tingin, parang paglalaruan ka lang e." Everyone in the church laugh with her jokes and gave me a piece sign before continued. " joke lang, pero iyon. Hindi ko lang siguro nagustuhan yung unang meet natin. Kasi napakaharot mo tapos may pa dikit dikit kapa. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga ginawa mo sakin. But after everything happened. I still choose to accept you again, and also love you. I learned to forgive and learn myself to forget. That it was all past now. And we're here at the present. For now, I choose the latter. That I choose loving myself but also love you. I realized that I can choose both. No one can stop my decisions when it comes to love, when it comes to you. I will love you, forever and ever."

"I Krishiana Marie Lorenzo, take you, Leiden Xord Almante to be my husband, and I do swear and covenant in the presence of God and these witnesses to be your loving and devoted wife in times of plenty and want, in times of joy and sorrow, in times of health and in times of sickness for as long as we both live."

"We're the same. We love, we make mistakes, we might hurt each other but I knew myself that I'll be continued be fool if I still choose the wrong path who not makes me happy. It hurts and break me when that time you almost begged for me, just to come back in your arms. I was broken at the same time, desperately to save you. I wanted you to be my future wife. I wanted you to stay beside me and trust me. I'll just come back after that.

But my decisions betrayed me when that time I couldn't even think what should I do. I also didn't know if I had still a chance for einning you back ans choose to not hoping anymore. It hurts to see you happy without me anymore, like you could live without my presence. After so many years that I met you again. You're a grown woman now. You're not crying girl anymore that anytime you see me.

I was so proud until now that you choose to fight and continued your life without me. Also for saving me when you're there when I was broke. I even think that I did not deserve you that time, but you gave me hope again to continue and wait for you. And now I am glad that I found my ways to come back to you. I realized that fooling myself and keep pretending will not work. I only hurt myself and you. From the start, I was hypnotized by your beautiful brown eyes. It feels like my world stop for a second when you looked at me that day when we met again, after also those years.

Since kids, maybe it was all my fault and I regret it already. To save you, to love you forever. And your secrets to observe us involved. I can't be mad at you. I also realized that no one will replace you. Only you and my love is already permanent. From not until we grow old at each other." I emotionally said. In front of her, in front of her friends, family, relatives and to everyone in this church.

"I Leiden Xord Almante, take you, Krishiana Marie Lorenzo, to be my wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part"

We heard their sobs and cry for happiness. I was in tears of joy when I held her hands. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying and even touched her tummy, trying to stop her tears.

I cried emotionally because of the tears of joy and when I hold the rings, my emotions burst with happiness while we're busy sharing special words with each other.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" People almost shout when I started to fold her veil and kissed her in front of the altar.

I even heard some squealing noise coming from our friends and families. We smiled at each other after the smack kiss before looked at them with happiness and the tears of joy.

I couldn't wish anything for more.

-- Months after --

"Love!" Sigaw ni Krishiana ang gumising sa diwa ko nang mariin syang naka pikit habang hawak ang tyan nya. "Manganganak na yata ako!"

I panicked and carried her. Her tummy is so big. It was our second child and Natasha was not our home because of my parents wants her to have a sleep over.

The timing is perfect when Krishiana is in lavor of our 2nd child. We wanted to surprise ourselves so we didn't know the gender of our 2nd baby.

I rushed her in the hospital quickly. She's screaming in pain and I couldn't help but to worried about her. Our first daughter was only 1 year old and we didn't expect to have a second child that fastly.

I went to her direction when she stayed in a labor room. The doctor's are preparing also. Only a girl doctor's around. I remembered when the first time she gave birth to our daughter. I was panicked that time and when some guy almost touched my wife, I can't stop myself but to punch him straight to the face. My friend's are there to support me but ended up to stop me. I always this jealous and maybe this was my attitude or in born with it.

"You'll be okay wife. I'm here." I held her hand to support her and kissed her forehead. I caressed his hair while making a contraction. She's go a big tummy that will fit to a two baby. But we know that, we didn't have some twins except for our friends. There's no twins blood in our relatives.

She smiled at me weakly and hugged me from the support. She quietly screamed when I hugged her back. I can feel her body trembling because of the pain. I was sweating and support her. I was glad that the doctors and nurses allowed me to be in this room or else, they know what I can do.

I almost crying, seeing her pain is like killing me. Kung kina kailangan lang na ako na ang sumalo nang nararamdaman nya, kahit masakit ay ayos lang. Wag ko lang syang makitang nahihirapan.

I caressed her big tummy and have a baby talk with our second child. My wife calmed down a bit and I smiled secretly.

"Come on little buddy, calm down and don't hurt your mom. It hurts to see your mom in pain. Just wait a little bit okay? We will welcome you in this world and love you endlessly." I kissed her tummy.

"Thank you, love." My wife hugged me.

I don't know if it was a coincidence but after a minute. Her water broke and some people are guiding her to the delivery room fastly.

I was there for her when she keeps pushing our baby. I also copying her to lighten up the atmosphere. Good thing, she followed what she can do. It's like she's screaming quietly and having a deep breathe before pushing.

My tears starting to fall when I heard our 2nd child cries.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lorenzo. It's a girl!"

We looked at each other before smiling. I kissed her forehead and thanked everything for her.

"You deserved to rest in a minute. She would not hungry for now. She's cute and chubby." It was only my theory. When I looked to our 2nd child, I could see Krishiana's younger version.

"Okay, but don't forget to wake me up when she cries, alright?" She almost whispered because she's just gave birth

"I will." I kissed her beautiful hand before looking at our 2nd child.

Our first child looked like me. We're an equal also. When they cleaned up our baby I was waiting and planning to have another one near the future. Another girl or new boy is fine with me. As long as she will be the mother of it. I couldn't wish anything for.

She's my peace and healer. It felt like home and I was resting when she's beside me. I'm thankful that we still ended up together after the years.

And now, we still choose our path to find the ways to come back at each other's arms.
