Nang marahan siyang hilahin ni Charlie patungo sa makeshift aisle, kusa nang nagpatangay si Samantha. There were still many emotions coursing through her. But her mind is clear on only thing—at the end of that road she was walking on, there, her forever happiness with Aaron awaits.
She walked and started to give thankful gazes to her friends and Aaron’s family who were all present. She still cannot wrap her head around the very fact that she really is getting married today.
Kung paano nagawang itago ni Aaron sa kanya ang pagpaplano at paghahanda sa kasal nilang iyon, hindi niya alam. Mukhang halatang kinakuntsaba nito ang lahat ng mga mahahalagang tao sa buhay nila at ni isa walang bumigay para magsabi sa kanya nang totoo. Not even when she was in an all-out state of panic yesterday. But she is more than glad that all their closest friends and family were all there with them as their witnesses.
Oh her heart was so full she could burst!
The next chapter will be the Epilogue :)
Mabilis na inayos ni Samantha ang portfolio ng Charlie Elizabeth Events na nakabuklat sa ibabaw ng mesa. She just finished talking to a walk-in client in their private office. The meeting went smoothly. The bride really knows what she likes and how she liked the wedding would be. She just suggested a few things that would make her client’s wedding extra special.It has been two years now since she had reopened Charlize Elizabeth Events. After her and Aaron’s magical break of dawn wedding in Oregon went viral because Mandy had posted it on their company’s social media page, clients from all over the world flooded them with queries—all wanting to have a magical wedding too assisted by their company.And because she cannot miss the opportunity to go back to the events business, not just for her but also for her former employees, she was forced to reopen Charlize Elizabeth Events once they came back to the country after her and Aaron’s short v
Pagkasakay na pagkasakay ni Samantha sa kanyang sasakyan, agad siyang lumarga patungo sa law office ng asawa niya. Aaron’s law office is just a fifteen-minute drive away from her office. Kaya naman, mabilis lang talaga niya iyong mararating. Itinuloy ni Aaron ang law office nito na puro pro-bono cases ang tinatanggap. Her husband is at SSL in the morning and spends his afternoons in there. Some of Aaron’s lawyer friends are there too, joining his cause. Aaron is not just a loving and caring husband and father to their childern, he’s a lawyer with a good heart too. Pride rose in her chest at the thought. Ilang sandali pa, narating na niya ang opisina ni Aaron. Hapon na subalit marami pa rin tao sa law office, all waiting for their turn to talk to one of the lawyers there. Agad siyang dumiretso sa opisina ni Aaron. Agad itong tumayo sa upuan nito nang makita siya. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and ushered her towards the leat

Mabait, mayaman at maganda, ganyan ang tingin ng buong mundo kay Charlize Elizabeth Sandejas o Charlie, ang tagapagmana ng Sandejas Shipping Lines. Nasa kanya na ang lahat maliban sa isang bagay-- ang puso ni Gael Estrada, ang ulilang lubos na tinulungan noon ng kanyang mga magulang at ang kaisa-isang lalaking kanyang minahal.Thinking he doesn't want her because of their differences in life, Charlie had spent the last three years of her college life trying to unlove and forget him. Subalit muling bumalik si Gael sa buhay niya bilang kanyang bagong bodyguard. Sa pagkakataong iyon, nagtapat si Gael sa tunay nitong nararamdaman na siya lang ang pinakamamahal nito at wala nang iba.Nang maipit si Charlie sa isang kasunduang hindi naman niya talaga ginusto, lihim siyang nagpakasal kay Gael at nagpakalayo-layo. At nang akala niya maayos na ang lahat sa piling ng kanyang mahal, bigla na lamang siyang iniwan ni Gael sa panahong kailangang-kailangan niya ito. Makalipas ang halos limang taon
"Charlie, hindi pa ba tayo uuwi?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Jasmine kay Charlie.Awtomatikong nabitin sa ere ang sana'y pag-inom ni Charlie ng tequila na nasa shot glass na hawak. She smiled at her bestfriend who has this familiar worried look on her face. "With that look on your face, we'll be here in an hour more or two," pabirong sagot ng dalaga bago tuluyang ininom ang alak.Not a second more, the bitter taste of the drink burned in her throat but it was not enough to keep the worries of the day away.Sumimangot si Jasmine. "Ang paalam natin kay Daddy madi-dinner lang tayo, hindi tayo maglalasing," reklamo pa nito bago ininom ang laman na alak ng sarili nitong shotglass.Lihim siyang napangiti. Jasmine has always been reserved even when they were in high school. Madalas kasi itong ma-bully dahil common knowledge na inampon lamang ito ng mayamang pamilyang kinalakihan nito—ang mga Benitez. But she's glad that Jasmine is slowly gaining her confidence to move within their circle. She's
Charlie tried to maintain a straight face. "No, we're fine by ourselves. So please, go away," diretsahang pahayag niya.Subalit imbes na umalis, lalo lang lumapit sa kanila lalaki at sinubukang hawakan si Jasmine. On instinct, pinulot niya ang baso juice na kalalapag lang bartender sa harap niya at isinaboy iyon sa mukha ng lasing na lalaki.The man yelled a series of expletives before he looked at them with so much contempt. Tumayo na silang dalawa ni Jasmine. But the man was quick to grab one of her wrists and tried to pull her closer to him.She'll die first if she'd let the perv get his hand on her. Sinubukan niyang ipiksi ang kamay nitong nakahawak sa kanya subalit masyado iyong mahigpit, she's beginning to feel the strain not just on her wrist but on her whole arm!Jasmine tried to pull her other hand but to no avail. The man was so much stronger than Jasmine even in his drunk state."Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed still trying to yank her arm away from his tight hold. Suba
Charlize.Charlie cursed her stupid heart for fluttering. He called her that again. Just like the old times but... Kumurap-kurap siya at hinamig ang sarili. She knew, hindi uubra ang pagmamatigas niya rito. And the more she resists his demands, the more she'll be stuck with him! And that's the least thing she wants right now. She doesn't want him near. She doesn't even want to see him. But it's too late now for what she wants or would've wanted. The situation is giving her no choice. So she will give in... for now. She quickly fished her car key inside her handbag and handed it to him, begrudgingly. After that, she settled herself at the backseat. Ilang sandali pa, umusad na ang sasakyan. She was dead set in ignoring Gael all throughout their drive home but he keeps on glancing at her from the rearview mirror and it's making her uncomfortable. "Ano bang tinitingin-tingin mo, Mr. Estrada?" gigil na tanong niya, hindi na siya nakatiis. "I'm just wondering if you've forgotten y
Walang ganang hinahalo-halo ni Charlie ang soup na nakasilbi sa kanyang harapan. She and Theo were at Rancho Italiano having dinner. Sila lang dalawa dahil hindi pinayagan si Jasmine ng Daddy nito na lumabas. She chewed the insides of her cheeks, guilt slowly filling her heart, thinking about their failed night out three nights ago. Mukhang nailagay pa niya sa alanganin si Jasmine dahil lang sa gusto niyang magrebelde dahil sa pagbabalik ni Gael sa buhay niya. Gael. Lihim siyang sumulyap sa labas ng restaurant. She saw Gael standing beside her car talking to her other bodyguards. Maya-maya pa, nagtawanan ang mga ito. Lalo siyang nagngitngit. How dare he laugh when he's making her life miserable? She rolled her eyes and stirred the soup faster. The past three days have been pure hell. Gael follows her wherever she goes and she's beyond annoyed... more to herself than him. Why? Her stupid heart just won't stop skipping a beat whenever he's near. And she finds it so unfair d
