ANOTHER DAY II
"Yes,I do"

It's been five years when Clain left me,but those pains are didn't healed yet and those feelings didn't fade.

January 2,2020 at 8:00 pm,I received a friend request in facebook. His name was Raj Ahl but I deleted it because I knew that he's an Indian,i'm sure that he will send me nudes when we're friends.

January 5,2020 at 8:00 am,I opened my facebook account and there he is again so I decided to accept. After a while,I received a message from him.

"Hellow,how are you?"

I'm bored that time so I replied "i'm fine,how about you?"

We've been chatting together for almost two weeks and I noticed that he is different from what I expected.
He is respectful and religious also. He also reminding me to eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Before the month of June ends,I agreed to be his girlfriend. I can't believe that an Indian boy will repair my broken heart.

One day, I asked him to visit my country to introduce him to my parents but he gave me condition before he agree.

He sent me his money and ask me to prepare everything for our wedding.

The venue, decorations, invitation cards,foods and etc. They are all fine.

He's here already in Philippines that day before our wedding but I didn't see him yet in person because he refused to meet him in the airport.

July 7,2020 is the date of our wedding. I woke up early,take a bath property and dressed my self after my make ups. I'm excited to see the groom and whatever his looks, I am willing to accept it.

As the door of the church opened,I heard a wedding song played that makes me smile with tears but I dare not to look to the groom. I walked to the red carpet using a white long wedding dress and a pair of high heel sandal.

My father took my hand and handed it to the groom. When the groom hold my hands,i saw his hands familiar.

"Impossible" the only word that comes out from my mouth. I look up to his face but I didn't expect that the person who left me with someone after five years will be the person whom I marry.

I was in tears when he told me "I'm sorry for pretending as an Indian nd also for leaving you alone before. Yes,it's me,Clain,I'm back!!Monna found someone in America and they got married last year."

I knew, that in my whole life,my love for Clain was here and didn't fade yet.

.......Fast Forward......

The officiant's opening remarks, the officiant's addresses the couple and etc are already finished.

We are now in the next process of the ceremony.

"Mr. Clain Buenavista,will you promise that you will take Ms. Carol Meilleur to be your wife and to hold her from this day forward,for better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness and health,to love and to cherish,until you parted by death?

"Yes father, I do" he replied to the officiating priest

And you Ms. Carol Meilleur, will you promise that you will take Mr. Clain Buenavista to be your husband and to hold him from this day forward, for better,for worse, for richer, for poorer,in sickness and health,to love and to cherish, until you parted by death?

Without hesitation, I replied "Yes I do!!" At the same time,I was in tears of joy.

Finally, the moment that everyone's been waiting for is here....

"From the power vested in me,I now pronounce you husband and wife....Mr. and Mrs. Buenavista." said the priest.

"Mr. Buenavista,you may kiss the bride." the priest added.
