“Nasaan si Rio?” tanong ko sa nasalubong kong kasambahay.“Nakita ko pong naglakad siya sa likod ng mansion.”Tumalikod ako at saka tinungo ang likod ng mansion. Paglabas ko, nawala ang ingay ng mga tao sa loob at biglang tumahimik. Tanaw ko si Rio sa gazebo.Nakaupo siya, ang dalawang kamay ay nakatukod sa mga hita niya at nakahawak ang dalawang kamay niya sa ulo. He looked so bothered that I immediately walked to him fast.“Rio,” marahan kong tawag.Agad na umangat ang ulo niya sa akin.“What happened? Why are you here?”Kita ko agad ang galit sa mga mata niya.“Lolo told me about the annulment he gave you,” malamig niyang sabi.Tumigil ako sa harap niya.“Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin?”“Don't get mad at your Lolo. Nag-usap na kami. He asked for forgiveness and he regretted giving it to me.”“Dammit! Because of him, you left me!” iritado niyang sabi.Umiling ako.“No, Rio. It's not because of the annulment. Binigay sa akin iyon ng Lolo mo pero hindi iyon ang dahilan ng pag-alis ko.

“Thalia…” emotional na tawag ni Tita Siena sa akin. Pinupunasan niya ng tissue ang baba ng mata niya.Nakatayo ako sa harap ng salamin. Ngumiti ako sa kanya habang nakatingin sa reflection niya sa mirror. Suot ko na ang wedding gown ko. It hugged my body perfectly, accentuating my waist before flowing down into a breathtaking skirt. Kada inch ng gown, may lace embroidery doon. Kada galaw ko, kumikinang ang mga palamuti na maliliit na beads at crystals.Sa likod ko ay nakalaylay ang napakahabang belo na umaabot hanggang sahig. It flowed from my head all the way to the floor, looking like a river whenever it moved.“Akala ko, makakabalik pa kayo sa akin ni Baby Raegan. I didn't expect this,” pagpapatuloy ni Tita.“For three years, parang anak na ang turing ko sayo. Dahil sa'yo, naramdaman kong may lugar pa rin ako sa pamilyang pinanggalingan ko. Na kahit paano, konektado pa rin ako kay Papa... kahit buong buhay niya, hindi niya ako kinilala bilang anak.”Humarap ako kay Tita at saka siy

“You are so beautiful, Thalia,” Rio whispered, his voice trembling slightly as he kissed the back of my hand. He chuckled.“Papa, Mama pretty!” singit ni Raegan. He was looking between the two of us with innocent eyes, completely unaware of how much magic he was adding to the moment.We walked the remaining steps to the altar together, hand in hand, with our son in Rio’s arms.Our first wedding was a quiet promise made in secret, a shelter from the storms of our past. Pero sa kasal na ito, sa harap ng Diyos at ng napakaraming guests...it symbolize victory. We survived the years of separation, the pain, and the longing.Habang nagsisimula ang seremonya at dahan-dahang lumulubog ang araw, binalot ng kulay kahel at ginto ang buong chapel. I looked at Rio, then at Baby Raegan, and I felt so at peace.When it was time for the vows, I didn't expect Rio to have his prepared.Inilabas niya mula sa bulsa ang isang luma at gusot na papel.Umawang ang labi ko. Everyone got silent."I wrote this

Thalia Velasco Life has been good for us. May mga pagkakataon na may mga pagsubok pero alam ko na kung paano iyon i-handle. I've learned to share whenever there are things that bother me. Rio learned to share with me what was running through his head. That made our problem easier to manage. We just had to communicate. He was with me when I was still learning how to navigate life. When I was just starting to experience adulthood. He made everything easy for me. Ang dali lang sa akin na makakuha ng trabaho matapos akong makagraduate. I didn't have to struggle just to put food on the table. Everything was provided for me. I didn't need to face my parents. He protected me from them. Everything that concerned me, he took care of it for me so I could live comfortably. Kaya nang iwan ko siya, I've realized that life is hard, and it was only easy for me because he was with me. He's the reason why my life was easy. Isa iyon sa mga bagay na nagpahirap sa akin na tanggapin ang decision ko.

Louiella Galvez“Ella, don't you hear Savannah?” pasigaw na tawag sa akin ng kaibigan ni Savannah.I heard her. Nagkukunwari lang akong hindi ko siya naririnig. Hindi naman gaano kalakas ang music dito sa bar. I slowly looked at Savannah. I was hoping she didn't see who I saw earlier, but I guess she saw him. Hindi ko rin siya masisisi. He's just too much. You wouldn't help but notice him.Savannah was smiling brightly now.“Puntahan mo si Zio. My friends want me to introduce him to them,” sabi niya nang tumingin ako sa kanya.“Savvy, may kausap siya. I don't want to disturb him,” mahinahon kong sabi.I saw how Savvy's friend glared at me.“You know what, Savvy? You're way too soft on your assistant,” nakataas ang kilay na sabi ni Veronica, isa sa mga kaibigan ni Savvy. “How could you let her refuse you like that? You're paying her to do her job, not to tell you what to do.”“Guys, don't be mean to Ella. She's kind,” aniya. Bumaling siya sa akin at saka ngumiti. “Go on, call him. I'm
