The Big Wedding

Dahil sa maagang pagpapagawa ng last will and testament ng Daddy niya, hindi tuloy alam ni Autheia ano ang gagawin. Wala siyang nobyo paano niya mabibigay ang hiling ng Daddy niya na bigyan ito ng apo. Dahil hindi niya makukuha ang mana nilang magkakapatid hangga't hindi nila mabibigyan ng apo ang Daddy nila. Hindi lang apo, kailangan ay maikasal sila. Sa kaso ni Autheia wala pa sa isip niya ang mga bagay na iyon. Hindi pa niya natutupad ang pangarap niyang makapagpatayo ng sariling negosyo. Isang pangyayari ang nagpabago ng buhay niya, nang dumalo sila sa kasal ng pinsan ng kaibigan niyang si Qiana. Hindi sinipot ng bride ang groom na pinsan ni Qiana. At sa hindi inaasahan ay magkakilala pala ang Daddy ni Khrysaor at Daddy niya. Kaya naman humandong ang mga ito sa isang desisyon na ipakasal ang mga anak nila. Hindi lang para sa negosyo kundi parehong gusto ng mga magulang nila na magkaroon na ng apo. Mapapayag kaya si Autheia sa desisyon ng Daddy niya, o susuwayin niya ang gusto neto. Kilala niya ang lalaki pero isang beses lang niya nakausap ito noon, noong nag-aaral pa lang sila hindi niya alam ano ang ugali neto. Mas lalong nabahala siya sa dahilang iniwan ito ng bride niya sa mismong kasal neto. Baka may mas malalim itong dahilan. Matutuloy kaya ang planong kasal sa kanila o tatakasan niya na lang ito gaya ng ginawa ng dating bride ni Khrysaor.

I was scrolling through reddit when I came across a post seeking advice. The poster said he had HIV but was hiding it from his fiancée. The post had tens of thousands of likes. Intrigued, I clicked to read more. As I went through the details, I realized—why did his description of the fiancée sound so much like me?

Nagscroll ako sa reddit ng napadaan ako sa post na naghahanap ng payo. Sabi ng poster na meron siyang HIV pero tinatago ito mula sa kanyang fiancee. Ang post ay merong libong mga like. Naintriga, pinindot ko ito para magbasa pa. Ng dumadaan ako sa mga detalye, napagtanto ko—bakit ang paglalarawan ng fiancee ay pareho ko?

Mula pagkabata ay pinangarap na ni Summer ang maging isang civilian agent. Dahil narin siguro sa palagian niyang panonood ng mga pelikulang may kinalaman sa mga misyon tulad ng mga pelikulang Mission Impossible, Charlie's Angels at iba pa. Tagumpay ang kauna-unahang misyon at kaso na hinawakan ni Summer dahil narin sa tulong ng kanyang mga kasama. Kaya naman nabigyan agad siya ng ikalawang misyon. Misyon na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay...Ang paibigin at pakasalan ang nag iisang apo ng matandang Buenavista. Si Brent Michael Buenavista. Magtagumpay kaya si Summer sa kanyang ikalawang misyon?

Hindi akalain ni Margarette na dalawang buwan bago ang nakatakda niyang kasal sa kasintahang si Bobby ay magagawa pa itong agawin ng kapatid niyang si Michaela. Ang masakit, itinakda agad ang kasal ng dalawa. Ang pangyayari ay nagawa pang isisi ng mga ito sa kanyang katabaan at pagiging abala sa trabaho. Dala ng galit sa pamilya niya at pagluluksa sa sinapit niyang kabiguan, natagpuan ng dalaga ang sariling nagpapakalasing at naglalabas ng sama ng loob sa isang estranghero. Estrangherong nagising na lang siyang asawa na niya! Wala siyang matandaan pero pumayag siya sa alok ni Wallace na tulong na paghihiganti kapalit naman ng sarili nitong hangarin, ang mapabalik sa piling nito ang babaeng mahal nito. Madali at satisfying noong una, pero habang lumalakad ang panahon ay unti-unting nahulog ang loob niya sa asawa. Paano na lang kapag natapos na ang isang taong palugit ng kanilang pagsasama? Ano ang kahihinatnan ng isang pagmamahal na tila panlabas na kaanyuan ang labanan?

I ditched a shot at studying abroad to help my boyfriend, Gavin Censori, launch his startup. Stuck it out with him through seven brutal years. Then boom—success hit, and so did the ghosting. On Valentine's Day, he hit me with the classic "work's crazy" excuse. Instead of showing up, he had some random delivery dude drop off a box of cosmetic samples. Samples. Later that night, his secretary Rebecca popped up on my feed, flexing hard. Caption: [With a boss like this, why go home early?] Pic: A box of high-end makeup. Same brand. Hers weren't samples. I dropped a comment: [You're doing great at your sidechick job. Gold star.] Gavin called instantly, losing it. "What's your problem? She's just an employee! I bust my ass making money for you, and you're always jealous!" I laughed. Didn't even yell. Just dumped him. Seven years, and I'd never touched a dime of his. Joke's on him—his precious startup? Secretly bankrolled by me. Fast-forward three years. Business summit. He rolled in wearing a tailored suit. The second he spotted me with a bag of bottles, his smirk kicked in. "Didn't like those cosmetics I gave you, huh? Now look at you—reduced to bottle collecting?"

While cleaning Desmond Maynard's house, I accidentally knocked over his mother's keepsake. He once told me it was his most precious possession. But when I picked it up, hundreds of love letters spilled out. There were beautiful poems, passionate lyrics, and heartfelt confessions. He had written one letter a week without stopping. On the back of each one wrote a line: To My Love, Bunny. The nickname rang a bell. It was his junior in college. Things started to make sense. I slaved away for 13 years, running his household and caring for his family, but Desmond never even said he liked me. That was because he already had someone he liked. I sorted the letters by date, put them back, and grabbed my phone to make a call. "Mom, I'm in for the marriage proposal."
