Wedding Day...A Rewind

It is the night before the wedding, Bea can't sleep, looking at the ceiling, thinking. She can't believe that this is actually happening. Her thoughts went to that moment of the engagement party. She keeps on looking at her phone, checking the time. She was getting annoyed at how much she needed to sleep but can't. She bet Thirdy must have been very much asleep by now.

She looks at her clock. 2:00am and the wedding is set at 9am. She just keeps on turning. She tried to open her sleep app, just so she can help her mind relax.

It might be because she is not sleeping in her own bed. The hotel's vibe is different today. She feels cold, but was too lazy to move and get the remote and turn down the aircon's temperature.

After so many tossing and turning, she didn't notice, she had dozed off to a deep slumber.

She woke up to a gentle tap on her arms.

"Bea" her mom said. " It is already 6:30 in the morning, time for some breakfast. You will still have your hair and make up fixed, you might get late at the wedding."

Rubbing her eyes, "Yes, mom, thanks for waking me up." She looked around and asked her mom, " Where is Kuya?"

"Of course, he is with the boys. He said he will be helping Thirdy."

"Kuya is so sweet, he never changed where Thirdy is concerned. Kuya still loves him."

"Bei, Thirdy is family and you know that. You have been friends since you were small kids. Whatever happened in the past, I'm sure your Kuya has moved on from that." Her mom said.

They opted for food service at the hotel room. Mom and daughter sharing breakfast and one by one, Bea's friends started coming in.

"So, you had your breakfast here, we were looking for you at the dining area." Her bestfriend, Jhoanna said.

"Yes, I had a hard time getting some sleep. I'm too lazy to go down." Bea said.

"Hmm thinking about something, friend?" Maddie teased.

"What the hell are you talking about?" The confused Bea said.

Her mom just smiling from the side, checking on Bea's gown.

A few minutes later, Bea's makeup artist came.

"Good morning, Ma'm Bea, are you ready?"

"Good morning, Christine. Yes, I am ready. You will still have to set my hair, right?"

So everything was set, Christine had 2 more makeup artists with her to do her hair and makeup plus her mom, her friends, Jhoanna, Maddie, and Kat.

She received text from other friends, confirming that she is already preparing. She also received a good morning text from Thirdy.

Thirdy: Good morning, Bei. Are you ready?

Bea: Not yet, my make up is not yet finished :)

Thirdy: Planning to being late?

Bea: Says who? Last time I checked, you were the turtle. Chill, Thirds, I will be there.

Thirdy: I know. I never doubted you, anyways haha.

Then they heard a knock on the door. Almost all were ready. Finishing touches were being applied to Bea and then she will be all set.

"Good morning, Mozzy. So nice of you to drop by?" Det, Bea's mom asked.

"I just wanted to make sure you guys are ready. We are ready to leave, Dani is very excited."

Bea stood up to greet Thirdy's mom, Mozzy.

"Good morning, Auntie Mozzy. I just finished. Are you leaving?" Bea asked her.

"Yes, Dani just asked me to check up on you, girls." Mozzy replied.

"We will be leaving in a few, Tita, we will see you at the church" Kat said.

Before leaving, Mozzy turned and look at Bea one last time.

"You look very pretty, Bea. You are even prettier in that gown" Mozzy said.

"Of course, sge got that from me." Det teased and Bea just chuckled.

"I will go ahead. I will see you all. You guys, take care." Mozzy reminded them.

The wedding was set at Santuario de San Jose Parish. The ambience, the design, everything was just perfect even the weather. Bea looking at every people coming in, the guests, their friends, familiar faces.

It was already 9am and the OIC has already advised them to get ready on their places. And there he saw Thirdy. Looking dapper as ever. Her brother, Loel went to her and gave her a kiss.

The wedding march has started, starting with the Primary sponsors then followed by the groom and the best man, Bridesmaids and ushers walk in pairs, Maid of honor, ring bearer, coin bearer, Bible bearer and the flower girls.

Everything was organized, it went well even during the last night of the rehearsal. All was very peaceful. And then, a different tune played. The bride is being prepared for her grand entrance. Everyone can see Thirdy very excited to see her. The music played. The bride standing at the church's entrance, preparing to step in, walking cautiously. Thirdy's tears falling as he watches her bride. The guest's excited faces clearly showing, everyone with so much love on their faces.

And then the bride stopped.

The music still playing but tenderly now, softer.

Everyone was waiting for the bride's next step nearing to where her groom is waiting.

She bowed her head, tears falling uncontrollably.

Unveiled herself and said, "I am sorry" and ran going out of the church.

Everybody was dumbfounded at the scene. Nobody was able to move. No one was able to run after the bride, she was able to escape right away, a car was waiting.
