We Are Married Novels & Stories

The world outside faded away, leaving only the warmth of their connection. We did it. We’re married. I’m safe now. Si William... h–hindi na niya ako puwedeng makuha pa.” mangiyak-ngiyak niyang sambit sa isipan. “I won’t be forced into anything I don’t want. We can finally start our lives together. Pero kahit masaya sila nang mga oras na ‘yon, mayroon pa ring takot at pagdududa.

Sinubukan kong tatagan ang loob ko sa susunod pang sasabihin. "Gavin and I were just forced to get married 3 years ago. Pwede po bang 'wag nyo na ulit kaming pilitin ngayon? Kasi ang kasal, nararapat po yun sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan, hindi para sa kapakanan lamang ng isang bagay. Sana po hayaan nyo nalang kaming magdesisyon sa gusto namin. 'Wag nyo na po kaming pilitin." I added.

Chapter 52 Promise PINAGMAMASDAN ko si Damien habang mahimbing na natutulog sa aking tabi. Isang linggo na ang nakakaraan nang doon ito natutulog sa aking tabi. We have no serious talk about ourselves. Walang sinuman ang nagsasalita o nagtatanong kung ano na ba ang tatahakin ng aming pagsasama. Yes, we are a married couple, and yes valid ang pagsasama namin at walang mali kung may nangyayari man sa aming dalawa, ngunit may naging usapan kami before our wedding. And about Katherine...

"Dahil hindi naman talaga tayo kasal, hindi ba? We both know that our marriage is fake. Nagawa lang nating magsama sa iisang bubong dahil sa kagustuhan niyong magtiyuhin." Napatiim-bagang siya at nag-iwas ng tingin. Lihim akong napangisi sa inasta niyang iyon at hindi kalaunan ay nagpasya na akong magtungo sa kusina upang paghandaan siya ng makakain. Ngunit akmang magsasandok na ako ay natigil ako nang muli siyang magsalita. "Yes, our marriage is fake," anas niya. "But we're still considered married. If you don't act like one, alam mo kung ano ang mangyayari. Aware ka naman siguro tungkol doon, hindi ba?"

“We’re heading to your favorite place the one with the chocolate volcano cake.” Elise clapped her hands with delight as we made our way out. Robyn walked a step behind us, and I could see her watching us with a look that made my heart flip. We’d built something real here a family in every way that mattered, even if our marriage was still technically just ink on paper. The restaurant was bustling, but the manager led us straight to our usual corner table. Elise climbed into her booster seat and scanned the menu intently, while Robyn and I settled in across from each other.

We look forward to your presence. Wait, did Adi got already married?

Muli kong inikot ang mga braso ko sa batok ni Isles at inabot ang labi niya. Binuhat niya ako at inikot ang mga binti ko sa kaniyang bewang. Kung maghalikan kami ay parang ang tagal naming hindi naramdaman ang labi at init ng katawan ng isa’t isa. “I’m excited to be your wife, Isles.” Ang lakas pa rin ng kabog ng dibdib ko tuwing naiisip na kinasal na kami ngayong araw. That we’re finally married! We could’ve been married years ago, pero siguro tama nga ang langit, mayroong tamang panahon para sa lahat.

Naghiwalay na kami mula sa pagyayakapan and smiled at each other. We took pictures and a lot of pictures. We wanted to have as much documentation as possible. Masasabi kong ito na talaga ang isa sa mga pinakamasasayang araw ng buhay ko. I believe this is what Zandrey feels as well. Today, we just really happy because after everything we went through, all the backwards and forwards that came in between, we are finally here and are officially married. I am Maria Airaleen Alfonso-Del Fuerto now. And I think what a beautiful name that is.

muling tanong ni Rose. “We’ll be going home in a matter of three days. Naiinip na rin kasi si Yaya Magda. Madalas akong kulitin. Gustong-gusto na rin kasi niyang umuwi.” “How about you? Ano nang plano?” Napabuntung-hininga si Astrid. “We had our marriage registered last two days ago.” “WHAT?” “Hindi mo man lang kami inimbitahan?” “Mukhang may nag-honeymoon, Beshy!” Nsgkatawanan na sila.
