Epilogue- All That I Need

"From the bottom of my heart, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all those readers who unconditionally (well not all, but majority) waited for this story to come to it's conclusion.

Though I can still imagine some of you getting frustrated for those times that this story become "hiatus" for almost a month, still you showed your undying support and interest to finally read the outcome of Kyshaun and Jhossa's love story.

This is the moment that I wanted to exclusively say sorry to all of you who went "bitin" during those times that I have a short update on OSN. Those are the times really that I wanted to write a very long update, but due to exhaustion of mind and exhausting and toxic environment, I just couldn't get the job done, therefore I tied to settle for a little less wordings and very limited imagination. 😥😥😥

Sorry also for all of my shortcomings as a writer, I am not a professional writer, just hopefully romantically trying to be one, and so I cant help but made mistake and  maybe just because of that I entangle myself to a world of word war with some of those unpleasant readers who actually believe they paid me to do some story for them.. ( no need to mention your name, but if you are actually reading this one, I am sure that I would like to hear more from you ( but this time let us try to be more adult/mature on how to deal with those kind of stuff. I am more than willing to have a one on one  private conversation with you😏😏😏.

Okay enough of that stuffy, mushhy, thingy.?? Let's proceed to my "pasasalamat" portion.

Sinnersaintbitch

"Well, well, well, Look who's here? Talaga nga sigurong malakas ang pang- amoy ng babaeng ito, Kyshaun. Hanggang dito ay sinusundan ka pa rin niya. Didn't you ditch this bitch already, eh bakit hanggang ngayon ay sunod pa rin ng sunod sa iyo?" Crizel said ng makita nito ang pagdating ni Jhossa sa tambayan kung saan niya ginugugol ang lahat ng oras just to waste it and to stop thinking about this woman. Her ex girlfriend.

Yeah! He thought bitterly. Jhossa is just a mere ex to him now. He just ended their relationship. Their three years of togetherness just vanished into thin air. Sinayang lang nito ang tatlong taong magandang relasyon nila. Just because she can't contain her-. there just stop there Kyshaun. Get a hold of your emotion.

Nakita niya mula sa gilid ng mga mata ang pagsulyap ni Jhossa sa kanilang dalawa ni Crizel, what he saw in her eyes gives a kick on his gut pero isinawalang bahala niya iyon. He is angry at her! No furious is the right words.  He trusted her, na kahit na ano ang tingin ng ibang tao rito ay hindi niya pinakikinggan at iniintindi, because he loves her so much that he already planned a future with her, but he was crushed when he learned about her betrayal. That he won't forgive! At hindi niya kayang palampasin ang bagay na iyon.

" Hindi naman ikaw ang gusto kong makausap, Crizel. I -i am here to talk to you. Kyshaun. Please?" She looked at him, her eyes begging upang pagbigyan niya it, but he won't be swayed.

" Ano pa ba ang gusto mong pag - usapan natin huh? Hindi pa ba malinaw sa iyo na wala na tayo." He said in a voice devoid of emotion. " I already dumped you kaya wala ng dapat pang liwanagin!"

" B-but w-why? Ano ba ang nagawa ko?     I mean, I deserve to know the truth, Kyshaun.You just—"

" Shut it slut!" He shouted dahilan upang mapapitlag si Jhossa mula sa kinatatayuan. For a while he felt guilty for what he have done lalo na at nakita niya ang pagbakas ng takot sa mukha nito, that should be the last thing that he wanted her to feel " Ang lakas ng loob mong kausapin ako at mag demand ng totoo. When you are the one who's been lying to me all along!"

" Ano ba ang sinasabi mo? Kyshaun, hindi ako nagsinungaling sa iyo kahit kailan!"

" Really?" His voice held mockingness and looked at her with so much distaste. Hindi na niya makita sa mukha nito ang itsura ng lalaking mahal niya at mahal siya." Ang galing mo talagang magpanggap, Jhossa. Ang tagal mo rin akong napaniwala sa mga kasinungalingan mo. Why did I even believe that someone like you is capable of nurturing and being loyal in a relationship? Bullshit! Nagpakatanga at nagpakagago ako sa iyo because I believe in you! But this is all I get from you!"

Napailing si Jhossa. Tila wala itong maintindihan sa mga pinagsasasabi niya. Her expression said it all, " I-i don't understand you." Halos pabulong na wika nito.

" Hindi mo maintindihan? Then why won't this photo speak at your behalf." Inihagis niya  sa harapan nito ang isang brown envelope.

Nakita niya ang panginginig ng mga kamay ng dalaga nang abutin nito ang envelope at binuksan iyon. Kyshaun stop himself to throw any unwanted remarks, lalo na ng makita niya ang tila pagbakas ng pagkagulat sa mukha nito. She raised her eyes on him, panay din ang iling nito marahil ay upang gumawa ng maaari nitong idahilan upang pagtakpan ang kasalanan nitonsa kanya.

" P-pero Ky, m-mali ka ng p-pagkakaintindi. Wala kaming relasyon ni Paul. Hindi ko siya ni—"

Pero bingi na siya sa anumang paliwang ang meron ang dalaga, he couldn't just find it in his heart to believe whatever she will say, Kaya naman Hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili as  he said those things to her.

" Save your breathe bitch, because I don't want to hear your voice or your fucking explanation. I don't need it. Just don't show your face on me any more. We are done, at kapag inulit mo pang kapalan yang mukha mo sa pamamagitan ng paglapit  ulit sa akin, in any possible way, hindi ako mangingiming iutos sa kanila na bigyan ka ng leksyong hinding-hindi mo makakalimutan." Tinanguan niya ang mga barkada niya na kilalang mga bully ng eskwelahan.

Jhossa gasped. Fear once again filled her green eyes, but he ignored it. She chose to hurt him, now she should pay the consequences.

" Kyshaun naman please, pakinggan mo naman ako." Hinawakan ni Jhossa ang braso niya ng magsimula siyang humakbang paalis sa lugar na iyon, he couldn't stand being with her, nor being near her , at kung nagtaka man siguro si Jhossa sa kagasapangan ng ugaling ipinakita niya ay mas lalo siguro itong nagimbal sa sumunod na mga sinabi niya.

" I told you to stay away from me, slut! Hindi ka marunong makinig. Ano bang gusto mo? Oh yeah, a fucking explanation! Sige, anong ipapaliwang mo sa akin ha? Na nalingat lang ako sandali, pero ang girlfriend ko dahil nangati ay  agad na naglandi sa ibang lalaki. Gusto mo bang ipaliwanag sa akin na hindi mo sinasadyang idikit ang halos hubad mo ng katawan sa kamay ng lalaking kasama mo sa larawan, na hindi kayo magkasamang natulog sa iisang kuwarto sa isang hotel? Na hindi mo rin sinasadyang isuot ang damit lang ng isang lalaki habang pauwi ka na ng bahay niyo dahil nakalimutan mo ang mga pambaba mong damit. Gusto mo bang palakpakan kita dahil habang kausap kita ng mga oras na iyon, nagbibilin at nag-aalala para sa iyo ay ibang lalaki naman pala ang kasama mo at nagwawala sa piling niya. Iyon ba? Iyon ba ang gusto mong sabihin?!" Gigil at punong-puno ng pagkasuklam na sigaw niya. His face flushed with all the anger that he was feeling right now at gusto niyang maramdaman ni Jhossa ang galit na iyon.

" You know what, bitch? I change my mind. Kanina wala sa isip ko ito, but since hindi ka matahimik sa kakukulit at kapipilit sa akin na makinig sa mga paliwanag mo, I might as well enjoy this charade. So listen and you listen very well, woman. I will make your life a living hell. At sisiguraduhin kong hindi ka makakabangon sa gagawin ko sa iyo. Ipapalasap ko sa iyo ang walang kapantay na paghihirap, you can mark my word on that!"

And to add more pain in her ay hinila niya si Crizel at hinalikan sa harap mismo ng dalaga.

At hindi niya alam kung dapat ba niyang ikatuwa ang pagbalatay ng lungkot, pait at sakit sa mukha nito, lalong hindi niya alam kung dapat ba niyang ikatuwa ang sumunod na ginawa nito.

Ang pagsunod sa mga binitiwan niyang salita. Dahil hindi na muli pa itong nagtangkang lumapit sa kanya.

Then both of her parents died and he chose not to be with her, kahit na alam niyang nahihirapan na ito, bagkos siya pa ang gumawa ng dahilan para mas mahirapan ito by choosing to foreclose every property that her parents have, kahit na kung tutuusin ay nakasaad sa pinirmahang agreement ng magulang nito na twenty five years ang extension o palugit na ibinigay rito upang mabayaran ang halagang inutang ng mga ito, but he also choose to dismantle the contract, instead he made Jhossa suffer even more.

Hinayaan niyang dumanas ng hirap si Jhossa, both financially and emotionally because he knew then na pati ang pagtingin ng mga taga Calixta dito ay nagbago na rin simula ng umugong ang balita na ipinagpalit siya nito sa ibang lalaki.

At iyon ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali niya, dahil ng malaman ng mga kaibigan nito ang lahat ng mga ginawa niya kay Jhossa ay hindi na rin siya hinayaan ng mga ito na makalapit man lang siya dito o makibalita man lang. Not that he wanted to, pero sino  ba ang niloko niya, siya rin naman ang nahirapan, because when he wanted to go and chase her, the power of her friends won't allow him to do that. And for almost three years her whereabouts are kept hidden to him. Itinago ng magagaling nitong mga kaibigan, at kahit na sumikat si Jhossa bilang isang modelo ay wala namang personal na impormasyon tungkol dito ang hinahayaang lumabas sa  publiko, her whereabouts are kept hidden and no one can dig dipper.

Akala niya ang hiwalayan si Jhossa ang pinakamaganda niyang ginawa, iyon pala iyon ang pinakabobo niyang ginawa sa buhay niya.

Because Jhossa left and truly she stayed away from him.

Literally!

Aaminin niya, nagpabulag siya sa galit na naramdaman niya at ipinagwalang bahala ang pangakong binitiwan sa dalaga na ito at ito lang ang papaniwalaan niya, that no matter what ay alagaan niya ito, come what may and when times get tough.

And he was a jerk and a total bastard, dahil kabaligtaran sa ipinangako niya ang ginawa niya, pinasakitan niya ito dahil naduwag siyang harapin at komprontahin ang dalaga sa mga larawan na iyon.

And maybe it's too late for them to patch things up.

But not until he saw her again, it took three years for Jhossa to finally succumb in being a hiatus, at sa hindi sinasadyang pagkakataon pa sila muling nagkita ng dalaga.

He saw her on one of the private show sa Vogue Russia na very limited at important person lang ang inimbitahan, nagkataon lang na ang kliyente niya ay isa sa mga guest, who tagged him along on that show. And he was very surprised to see her.

The photographs in the magazine and every paper back didn't do her justice. She is even more beautiful in person, but he didn't actually get the chance to talk to her, because after the show Jhossa vanished in the night, ni hindi niya nga alam kung alam nito na naroon siya at pinanood ito.

But at least he get the chance to know that she was in Russia, and from there on, he started to do his own search, at napag-alaman niya na doon ito naninirahan, after a year of living in America.

He was a silent follower, dahil simula ng malaman niya ang lugar kung saan naglalagi si Jhossa ay hindi na niya ito hiniwalayan ng tingin. And for eleven years he act as her invisible shield, silent protector and possessive owner dahil kung nasaang bansa ito ay sinisiguro niyang naroon siya, at kung hindi man ay hindi ito nawawalan ng taong magbabantay at susunod sa bawat kilos nito na siyang inirereport naman sa kanya.

Sa ganooong paraan lamang sa palagay niya na makakabawi siya sa anumang pagkukulang niya sa babaeng minamahal.

But things didn't go as well as he would like it to be, dahil nung may pagkakataon na siyang makasamang muli si Jhossa ay umiral na naman ang pagka-seloso at pagka-possessive niya, and the receiving end of his unending jealosy is her.

He braek her and that's his second biggest mistake at nadagdagan pa iyon ng akusahan niya itong patuloy pa ring nakikipag-relasyon kay Paul at huli na ng nalaman niyang kapatid pala ito ni Jhossa, because right after she slam to his face the truth about her relationship with Paul at saka naman nito piniling lumayo at sumuko. And he is really an asshole for being so insensitive!

That is why maybe God forsake him to be with Jhossa. She is gone without a trace, slapping him on his face of the truth that she will not ever come back. She died or so they thought. And for the life of him, noon niya lang napagtanto na sobrang dami na ang maling nagawa niya, to the woman the he claims to be in love with. At siguro parusa na iyon ng Diyos ng hayaan nitong lumipas ang tatlong taon na hindi niya ito nakasama.

And he feels like dying! During those years all he wanted to do is to just be with her, but that is absurb especially when he knows for a fact that she is dead already.

And the shocking revelations that made his heart and brain stops for functioning for a while when he learned that Jhossa is alive at may bonus pa, because when she came back to his life, she brings with her their son, Karsten!

And he was rejuvenated!

Pakiramdam niya nabuhay siyang muli.

He was exhilarated, excited and damn so happy, kahit ang katotohanang hindi siya naaalala ng babaeng ikinukulong niya sa mga bisig niya ay hindi naging kabawasaan sa kasiyahang nararamdaman niya.

Jhossa is his substance, at nadagdagan pa ng makilala niya ang kanilang anak. They are his sole reason on living, and the reason why he wants to be a better version of himself.

And from there on he made a promise not to break her again, instead vowed also to just love and cherish her and Karsten  at ang magiging mga anak pa  nila.

Six months later....

And now is the fulfillment  of his promise.

Kyshaun felt his hands is shaking. He was sweating bullets habang matiyagang nakatayo at naghihintay sa pagdating ng kanyang pinakamamahal na babae.

This is the moment that he was patiently been waiting for.

Ang araw ng pakikipag-isang dibdib niya sa babaeng mula simula ay pinangarap niyang angkinin at ariin ng habang-buhay.

Pinagmasdan niya ang kabuuan ng simbahan, punong -puno ito ng mga taong nais makisaksi sa kasalan na magaganap ngayon.

Star studded ang kanilang kasal, dahil kahit na gaano pa nila ninais ng kasintahan na gawing simple at hindi maingay ang kanilang kasal ay hindi naman iyon naiwasan lalo pa nga at isang sikat na modelo si Jhossa kahit pa nga ba sabihing nagretiro na ito.

Some of her former colleague models and employers ay nagkansela ng mga shows upang lumipad papunta sa Pilipinas because they told them that they cannot missed Jhossa's wedding, even the famous designer na si Agnieska who happens to have discovered Jhossa at nagtiwala na Kaya  nitong maging next big thing on modelling, flew in the country upang personal na saksihan ang kasal ng kanyang pinakasikat na modelo.

" Daddy matagal pa ba si mommy?" Karsten soft voice echoed on his ear. Nilingon niya ang anak na karga ng best man niya na si Dylan, marahil ay kinuha na naman nito kay Letty ang anak Mababakas sa mukha ng anak ang pagkainip pero nasisilip pa rin ang bahid ng kasiyahan sa mukha nito dahil na rin siguro sa mga palamuting nakikita nito na nakadekorasyon sa loob ng simbahan.

Yes he hired the best wedding organizer that he could possibly hire para lang maibigay ang kasal na nababagay para sa babaing pinakakamamahal and he was pleased, for Weds and Lace are the best in this business and he was so sure that the owner use her persuading power upang makumbinsi ang kasintahan na ang mga ito ang kunin nilang organizer.

" Mommy is coming baby. We just have to wait for a little more time ei," he gently stroke the curly hair of Karsten na bahagyang tumatabing na sa mukha nito.

" Bakit ba ang tagal tagal naman niya kasi? Kanina pa kasi tayo dito daddy eh, I am so tired of waiting na, and I haven't seen Kane and Kade simula pa kanina. I miss them already." Paghihimutok pa ng anak. He was pouting and he find it really amusing. Karsten got that habit of his from his mom.

Nagkaroon ng komosyon ng ianunsiyo ng wedding organizer na paparating na ang bride, Kyshaun's heartbeat double overtime. He was excited. And he just couldn't hide nor deny it.

At ng pumailanlang ang wedding song nila, ay hindi na niya napigilan ang emosyon niya.

Nangilid ang luha niya habang hinihintay ang pagpasok ni Jhossa sa loob ng simbahan.

I was lost and alone

Trying to grow

Making my way

Down that long winding road

And no reason no rhyme

Like the song out of time

And there you are standing in front of my eyes

How could I've been such a fool to let go of love

And make all of the rules

Girl when you walked out that door

Left a hole in my heart

And now I know for sure

You're the air that I breathe

Girl you're all that I need

And I wanna thank you lady

You're the words that I read

You're the life that I see

And your love is all that I need

I was searching in vain

Playing your game

Had no one else but myself left to blame

You came into my world

No diamonds or pearls

Could ever replace what you gave to me girl

Just like a castle of sands girl I almost have lost

Slip right out of my hand

And just like a flower this ring

I will stand by your side

Through the joy and the pain

You're the air that I breathe

Girl you're all that I need

And I wanna thank you lady

You're the words that I read

You're the life that I see

And your love is all that I need

You're the air that I breathe

Girl you're all that I need and

I wanna thank you lady

You're the words that I read (words that I read)

You're the life that I see

And you're love is all that I need

You're the song that I sing

Coz you're my everything

And your love is

All that I need

You're all that I need girl

You're the air that I breathe yeah

And I wanna thank you

You're the words that I read yeah

Coz you're love is all i need yeah

And I wanna thank you

It took all of his guts and will power  not to close the distance between him and Jhossa, bagkos ay buong pagmamahal at pagsuyo niyang hinintay na matawid nito ang distansya sa pagitan nila.

She looks so lovely and regal, an epitome of a very beautiful, happy and contented woman. Mababakas rin sa mukha nito ang kasiyahan at pagmamahal  na natitiyak niyang mababanaag rin sa mukha niya.

She was accompanied by his brother na siyang maghahatid dito sa altar since both of their parents are already dead, it was his decision not to invite her true mother dahil alam niyang hindi pa ganoon kaayos ang relasyon ng mga ito, and besides he doesn't want to give Jhossa any reason to be sad at this very special occasion of their life, another thing is Mirla is probably busy with Lyka since natuluyan ng naipasok sa institution for mental health ang dating sekretarya. Tuluyan ng iginupo ang tamang kaisipan nito, and Mirla thought that her payment for stabbing Lyka's back noong isinuplong nito ang mga plano ng anak ay ang alagaan at alalayan ito sa pinagdaraanan nito sa kasalukuyan.

One more person that he prohibited on coming to his wedding is Crizel. Sabi sa kasabihan para makamit mo ang tunay na kasiyahan ay kailangan na patawarin mo ang lahat ng taong nakagawa ng mali sa it, but it's not  an open discussion for him dahil magpa-hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa nahahanap sa puso niya ang pagpapatawad na hinihingi nito.

He is very strict in that area, part of him still blame Crizel for the misfortune of his and Jhossa's relationship, but a big part of him really put all the burden in him. Mas galit siya sa sarili niya dahil hinayaan niyang diktahan ng babaeng 'yon ang  kanyang panghusga.

He let Crizel toy with his feeling, at sobrang tanga niya dahil hindi man lang niya naisip na minamanipulate na pala nito ang buhay pag -ibig niya.

He still clearly remember what he did to that woman when he found out about her lies.

" Just fucking answer me Crizel! " Nagpupuyos niyang sigaw habang mahigpit na hawak  ang balikat ng dalaga na bakas ang gulat at takot sa mukha. " Who Photoshop and edit that fucking picture?"

She better be scared, dahil may balak siyang pagpira-pirasuhin ang dalaga, considering his state of mind.

"W-wala akong alam, I-i told you before, authentic at original ang pagkakakuha ng mga litratong iyan, kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit kinukuwestiyon mo na yan ngayon," her lips was shaking at pinag-papawisan din ito.

" Dahil iyon ang gusto mong palabasin, kaya pati ikaw ay nahihirapan ng kumbinsin pati ang sarili mo sa mga kasinungalingan mo, damn it! But what puzzles me the most ay bakit mo ginawa iyon? Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why built a tower of lies"

" I am not lying Kyshaun-"

"Stop it," he shouted to keep her from bursting out another lies. " I am so done with you Crizel! One more fucking lie and I swear you will never like what I'm gonna do to you!"

" Bakit mas pinaniniwalaan mo siya Kyshaun?" Crizel asked, her face sporting anger on Jhossa. " I did what I thought was best for you, inilayo kita sa babaeng iyon because I know that she is no good. She is a hindrance to your success, dahil lahat na lang ng panahon at oras mo sa kanya mo na lang iniuukol. So I had to think of a way para magalit ka sa kanya, kamuhian siya at kalimutan siya. At tama ka, I am the one behind that fucking picture, gusto kong masira si Jhossa sa iyo, so you can finally be free because I want you for myself. Can't you see that? Kaya ginawa ko iyon because I know that it is my only chance para maagaw ka sa kanya. I can't believe that she is so lucky to have you at hindi ko gusto iyon, akin ka eh. From the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew you were meant for me and that is why I did what I did, nailayo ko siya sa iyo. My plan was very successful at naging masaya naman tayo hindi ba? You are happy, I can see that Kyshaun. You are happy with me, hindi mo na kailangan si Jhossa, you can dump her tapos ka naman ng maghiganti sa kanya hindi ba? We can proceed with our plans," she gently coaxed him. Akmang lalapit pa ang dalaga sa kanya when he took a menacing glare at her na nagpahinto dito.

" You helpless little bitch." His heavy breathe filled the room. Hindi niya alam kung saan niya ilalagay ang galit na namamahay ngayon sa dibdib niya parabsa babaeng ito.  " If I knew from the start na ikaw ang lason na sisira sa aming dalawa ni Jhossa, I should have kick your ugly ass in front of me right there and then. I can't believe I let you  play with me for such a long time. You despicable fucking liar!" He took a step towards her at bahagya itong sinakal, his face conterted with anger " you better pray that you hide that scheming face of yours from me for a longer time, because believe me, after I settled everything with my girl, at nakita kong nakaharang ka sa dinaraanan ko, I will focus my attention on you and I will think of so many ways on how I should put you behind bars, do I make myself clear?"

" And one more thing Crizel, I never enjoy your company. Not once! You're such a stupid boring leech which happens to make herself available even if it's bargain on the most cheapest price! Now get the hell out of my sight before I changed my mind and dragged you to prison at this very moment! Out!" Rumehistro ang takot sa mukha ng babae,agad itong tumalima at mabilis na nawala sa harapan niya. He closed his eyes at marahas na napaupo sa swivel chair niya. Abot- abot ang galit na nararamdaman niya, padaskol na dinampot niya Ang cellphone na nakalapag sa ibabaw ng lamesa at may tinawagan. " You see that woman who left my room? Yeah that one! I want you to follow her every move, yes every move, maliit man na bagay iyon o hindi I couldn't careless. Huwag na huwag niyo siyang hiniwalayan ng tingin at huwag na huwag niyo rin siyang hahayaang makalapit kay Jhossa naiiintindihan niyo ba? I don't want her near my girl, not even close kaya pag-igihan niyo ang pagbabantay!"

" Sigurado ka na ba? Puwede pang magback-out," Dylan said behind his back, teasing him.

" Not a chance, bud! Been waiting for this for half of my life, couldn't get this chance miss me again, baka matuluyan na akong mawala sa sarili ko." He glanced sideways at sinulyapan ang kaibigan na siyang saksi sa lahat ng mga pinagdaanan ng buhay pag ibig niya para sa iisang babae lang.

" I am so happy for you Kyshaun. Finally, you will get the chance to be with the woman who will share the same dream as you. Huwag mong sayangin ang pagkakataong ibinigay sa iyo. Man bihira lang ang nagkakaroon ng maraming chances, and you are one lucky bastard because Jhossa choose to accept you and your flaws and all of your mistakes. Mahal na mahal ka niya kaya alagaan mo siya. Huwag mong bigyan ng pagkakataon na pagdudahan niya ang pagmamahal niya sa iyo. Don't let her cry again, because if I heard from my wife that you made her cry again,  ako na ang susuntok sa iyo at bubugbog sa iyo, just so you know!"

" As sure as I'm standing here, I promise I won't!"

He held her hand ng sa wakas ay makarating na si Jhossa sa kinaroroonan niya. Bago you iabot ni Paul ang kamay ng kasintahan ay binulungan pa siya nito.

" Make her happy. Never make her cry again, for this time I am sure that I will kill you if she becomes dull and lonely again, do you understand?"

" She is my life and I am pretty sure that I will never do or say anything that cause her pretty smile vanished in her face." He answered calmly at saka pa lang binitiwan ni Paul ang kamay ng kapatid.

Iginiya niya si Jhossa sa altar kung saan naroon ang pari na magkakasal sa kanila, but all the while his attention is with her only.

He couldn't take his eyes off his beautiful bride. Napakasuwerte talaga niya.

" Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, we are all gathered here to witness the union upon the sanctity of marriage of this two individual, our beloved Kyshaun Drake Lewis and Jhossa Joud Perkins. Before I proceed to the celebration I want to ask if there is anyone who object to have this marriage be called off?" Ilang sandali ang pinalipas ng pari, his heart pounded so loudly. Damn it! Subukan lang may magkontesta patay sila sa akin! Gigil na pagbabanta niya sa isip niya. " None, then I shall continue." Bumaling na sa kanila ang pari. " Now Kyshaun and Jhossa, do you both comes here on your own personal accord and without anyone forcing you?"

" I do father," sabay nilang sagot, nilingon niya si Jhossa but her focused is trained on the priest in front of them.

" Do you Kyshaun Drake, take Jhossa Joud, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, to lovee and to cherish till death do you part?"

" I do father!"

" Do you promise to give her happiness all the times, and remain faithful even when times get tough?"

" I do father,"

" Do you promise to devote your time as a loving husband, a lover and a friend to your partner?"

" Yes father, I  do"

" Do you promise to respect her and listen to her first at all times"

" I do father,"

" Do you promise to be loyal to her and to never hurt her in any possible ways?"

" Yes father,I do"

" Do you Jhossa Joud take Kyshaun Drake, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do you part?"

" I do father!"

" Do you promise to give him happiness all the times, and remain faithful even when times get tough?"

" I do father,"

" Do you promise to devote your time as a loving wife, a lover and a friend to your partner?"

" Yes father, I  do"

" Do you promise to respect him and listen to him first at all times"

" I do father,"

" Do you promise to be loyal to him and to never hurt him in any possible ways?"

" Yes father,I do"

" You can now give each other the rings that will bind your love with each other,"

" Jhossa hon, wear this ring as a sign of my love, ownership and a tenant in your heart forever. Let this ring remind you that I will be forever faithful to you and to our love and to our family."

" Kyshaun, wear this ring as a sign of my love, faithfulness, forgiveness, acceptance and fidelity. May this ring remind you that I will be forever caged in your love and that I will not let any parasites ruin that caged."

" Say you vow to each other,"

Kyshaun cleared his throat as he delivered his vow, " Hon, I knew from the start that you are forever entangle with me. Unang kita ko pa lang sa iyo, alam ko na agad na ikaw ang other half ko, I had to surpress my feelings for you for such a long time dahil hindi ko alam kung gusto mo talaga ako o nachachallenge ka lang sa akin. Lahat ng mga pagpapapansin mo sa akin lahat iyon recorded dito sa puso ko. That's when I decided to take a gamble with you.  Lahat ng panahong magkasama tayo, iyon ang pinakamasayang araw sa buhay ko. I made a mistake of not believing in you when problems tried our relationship, nagpakaduwag ako dahil natakot ako sa isiping mawawala ka na sa buhay ko and that I can never do anything about it, pero dahil sa pagpapakaduwag ko, nangyari ang pinaka-kinatatakutan kong mangyari, and that it took a decade and a year for me to finally realized that I am stupid for not believing in you. I am sorry for all those times that I made you cry and unhappy. And I promise you that it will never again happen. Ikaw ang bumuo at kumumpleto ulit sa buhay ko. You are the main reason why I am fuelled up to do what is best and what is good for our family. Ikaw at ang mga anak natin ang sources ng lakas ko at kasiyahan ko. In front of God, our families and our friends, I promise you that I will give you the life fitted for a very extra-ordinary woman, and I promise you that I will never do the same mistake of believing anyone else before you. I love you so much, Jhossa Joud, you really whipped me off my feet,and I can't wait for our journey together to begin again,"

" Kyshaun, ikaw ang katuparan ng lahat ng mga pangarap ko, Sabi nga sa kanta ng side A, you were just a dream that I once knew, never thought I will be right for you, and I am so damn lucky for I was able to catch your precious attention. Sabi ko pa noon sa sarili ko, how lucky can I get to finally have the man na pinapangarap ko lang noon, kasabay kitang nangarap at halos lahat ng pangarap ko kasama ka, lahat ng plano ko sa buhay ikaw ang nauuna sa listahan, though you shattered me to pieces noong mas pinaniwalaan mo ang ibang tao kaysa sa akin. You caused me too much of a heartache and I never see them coming from you but nonetheless it happen. But then I realized na kahit pa nangyari sa atin ang mga bagay na iyon, hindi pa rin noon mabubura ang katotohanan na mahal kita. Na nangako ako na ikaw lang ang lalaking mamahalin ko kahit na nasasaktan na ako at Hindi iyon nagbago. Nabura at nawala man at muling nagbalik Ang alaala koang katotohanan na ikaw lang ang laman ng puso ko ay sapat na para isugal kong muli ang kaligayahan at kalagayan ng puso ko sa iyo. Mahal na mahal kita Kyshaun at nakahanda ako na bumuo ng mas marami pang magagandang pangyayari sa buhay natin. I would surely love to share the turn of pages my life with you in it. I live for you and I breathe for you and for our family. I love you so much Mister Lewis."

Kyshaun clutch his heart dahil pakiramdam niya ay sasabog na ito sa sayang nararamdaman niya. He couldn't believe that Jhossa can make her feel just like that. He is very happy and he is moved with what she had say.

" I love you so much," he mouthed na ginantihan din naman nito.

" With the power vested on me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your lovely bride." The priest announced.

Kyshaun pulled Jhossa in a tight embrace, then softly placed a tender kiss on her lips. He wanted to feel this kiss, because somewhat this kiss is very special. Ito yata Ang unang halik nila bilang mag-asawa.

" Ladies and gentleman,brothers and sisters of faith, I present to you,  Mister and Mrs. Kyshaun Drake Lewis."

Napuno na malakas at masigabong palakpakan ang buong simbahan, pati na rin ang kislapan ng kamera ay walang tigil, sinusubaybayan ang bawat masayang kaganapan sa kasal ng dalawang tinaguriang the Power couple.

" Finally, you are mine Mrs. Jhossa Joud Perkins Lewis. I love you so much!"
