Enzo's POV

I couldn't stop smiling while seeing her walking down the aisle. I'm so happy that today is a beautiful sunny day. The Island is so peaceful with its natural given gift, and the sea salt breeze is perfect. This Island belongs to Liam Mondragon, Drew's brother. It's exclusive and private.

She stood up while kissing her mother and her father. Naghalo ang kaba sa dibdib ko nang mapalapit siya sa akin. 

Finally, I'm marrying the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

"Take care of my princess, Enzo." Tapik balikat ng ama niya sa akin at tumango ako.

"I will, Dad, and thank you for raising such a beautiful daughter of yours," I said genuinely.

Nang tumalikod na sila ay lumingon si Kylie sa mga magulang niya. Nahinto siyang bahagya at halos hindi siya gumalaw kaya hinawakan ko na ang kamay niya.

"Love. . ." I whisper, and she looks back at me.

"Oh, sorry, darling." Agad na hawak niya sa kamay ko.

I held her hands softly and looked at them. She had fingerless lace satin gloves around her hands, but I could still feel her palm, beautiful and soft. My brows lifted because I noticed she didn't wear the engagement ring I gave her.

Pumwesto na kami sa harap nang malaking arko na puno ng mga bulaklak at nakangiti si Judge Del Rio Martin sa amin. He is our wedding officiant and a part of our family too.

Humalik muna ako sa kamay ni Kylie habang hawak-hawak ito. She smiles at me sweetly, and her eyes twinkle. Napayuko lang din siya at pareho kaming naghihintay na magsimula si Judge Del Rio.

"Best wishes, man," mahinang tugon ni Xavion sa gilid. He's my best man, and the rest of my cousins who are singles are all grooms men. Maliban nga lang sa wala rito na hindi kasama lahat sila ay kompleto.

Then the wedding starts. Everything went quiet as we listened to Judge Del Rio Martin. He talked about a few things and then proceeded to our wedding vows.

Kylie just stood up quietly while listening to me talking. I hold her other hand while mine has a piece of paper.

"From this moment, I take you as my best friend for life. I pledge to honour, encourage, and support you through our walk together. When our way becomes difficult, I promise to stand by you and uplift you so we can accomplish more through our union than we could alone. I promise to work at our love and always prioritise you in life. With every beat of my heart, I will love you."

Nang matapos ay hinintay ko ang pagsasalita niya. Pero nakatulala lang siyang nakatitig sa akin ng husto. 

Her eyes became watery, and she looked down. She took a deep breath, and I ended up caressing her hand softly, giving her my assurance of love. 

I know sometimes she's hard to understand. Lately, she's occupied with other things, and her mood swings are out of nowhere. 

Hindi naman siya ganito, at madalas malambing siya at matalino.

"Uhm." She cleared her throat and looked at everyone, smiling sweetly back at me.

"I could still remember the first day that I have met you. . . It was raining and I was so wet. Sinabi mo pa nga, 'hey, miss, may payong ako,' at tumingla ako sa 'yo. I laughed because the umbrella that you are holding have holes, at parehong basa na tayo. Kaya sinabi ko - "

"I don't think we need this umbrella, as our heads alone are our umbrellas," I smiled. I cut her off and talked on her behalf. 

Imbes na siya ang magsalita ay ako na ang tumapos sa sinabi niya. Natawa lang din siya at pati na ang iba.

"Simula noong araw na iyon ay hindi na kita nakalimutan. Akala ko kagaya ka sa mga lalaking nakilala ko, pero iba ka at pinatunayan mo ito. . . Thank you, darling, for making me the most beautiful woman today, and I promise to love you as long as I live. And this heart, will only beat for you until forever," she smiled sweetly and my heart melted.

"Now, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride," tugon ni Judge Del Rio Martin.

My smile widens while staring at her. When I rolled up her wedding veil, slowly her lips capture my attention. Sa labi niya agad ako nakatitig ng husto at ito rin noon ang unang kumuha sa atensyon ko. . . noong una ko siyang nakita.

God, I must be crazy. This sudden feeling of love ignited like a lava inside me. Ang baliw ko talaga sa kanya dahil gustong-gusto ko siya.

Nang maayos ko ito, ay ang magandang kabuuan ng mukha niya ang nakikita ko.

I gently caressed her face and lifted her chin. Our eyes locked, and she pressed her lips together. She shut her eyes and waited for me to kiss her. I chuckle at the thought that she acts like a sweet innocent piece, and when our lips touch, the tingling sensation somehow comes alive inside me.

After all, she's my one and only darling Kylie. . .

"I Love you," tugon ko nang maghiwalay ang labi namin dalawa.

She stared at me with her round full deep brown eyes. Napangiti ako, dahil ngayon ko lang siya nakikitang ganito.

"What's wrong, hon?" tanong ko. Humalik na ako pabalik sa labi niya.

That wasn't a proper kiss before. I tried to thrust my tongue inside her to taste her sweetly. But she didn't open it for me. So, I had to kiss her again, sincerely, aiming that she would extend this time. She parted her mouth for me, and then, there it was.

Yumakap siya sa leeg ko at rinig ko ang ingay nang lahat. I kissed her tenderly, tasting every corner of her mouth. She tastes so sweet. She tastes so beautiful.

"I love you," tugon ko nang maghiwalay ang labi namin.

"I-I love you too."

Hahalik pa sana ako pero agad lang na lumapit si Glenn at tinapik na ang balikat ko, at kasunod nito ay ang ingay ng paputok at confetti sa paligid.

The shower of petals was like snowdrops around us. I stared at her, and she was smiling infectiously.

Hinawakan ko na ang kamay niya at hindi na siya binitawan pa. And she does the same with me. Sabay naming hinarap ang lahat ng bisita patungo sa reception. We dance like there was no tomorrow, and we kissed and laughs like it will be the beginning of our life together.

Nang matapos ang gabi ay natahimik ang lahat. Most of our guest check-in in this hotel own by Xavion and Drew, and the rest of the guest went together with Kylie's parents on the other island. Gamit nila ang dalawang yate na pagmamay-ari nina Norman at Liam.

Everyone had fun, like me, but not Kylie tonight. She doesn't look better at all.

"Hon? Are you okay?" I knocked at the toilet door.

"Y-Yes, hon. I'm fine," sagot niya.

"I prepared some warm milk for you, hon. I will wait here, okay?" lambing na boses ko sa kanya.

"Thank you, hon. I won't be long," sagot niya.

Iniwan ko muna siya at inayos ang sarili. Lumabas akong balkonahe at tumingala sa madilim na langit. 

I just finished my shower on the other side of the room. This room is for a sweet couple suite, and it has two toilets, a bath, and one sweet Jacuzzi. She had her period, and I bet her tummy is somehow sore. Madalas kasi ito ang reklamo niya sa akin noon.

Nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto ng banyo ay agad akong bumalik sa loob. She's on her pink pajama with her hair cup on. I grab the warm milk and strode closer towards her. She sat down on the bed and watch the TV on.

"Warm milk, hon." I heartily offer, and she takes it out from me.

"Salamat, hon."

I sat down beside her and gently caressed her shoulder. Her scent is so beautiful tonight, and it's turning me on. I desire her, but I need to grasp myself.

My poor darling must be hard on her.

"How are you feeling?" Tumayo ako at pumwesto sa paanan niya.

I'm sitting down on the floor and giving her a gentle massage on her feet. She didn't say anything and just drank her warm milk quietly. I stood up and put more pillows behind her.

"Laid down, darling. I will give you a good massage to ease your pain," I smiled sweetly and started massaging her feet.
