WHEN the wedding march song filled the church, hindi na napigilan ni Shawn ang kabang nararamdaman.He was nervous as hell, his palms are sweating and his mind was racing knowing that the woman he loves is gonna enter the church any moment from now.

"Chill man.Masyado kang kinakabahan." natatawang sabi ng bestman nya na walang iba kundi si Gian Carlo Canes.Ang pinaka-babaero sa mga kaibigan nya

"Maitatali kana ngayon sa maingay na babae'ng 'yon.Wala na 'tong atrasan." dagdag nito

Tiningnan nya ng masama si Gian."Fuck you, Gian.Hindi ko tatakbuhan ang kasal ko." singal nya dito.Bakit ba ito pa ang ginawa nyang bestman?

Gian snickered."Hay love sick fool kana masyado, hindi kaba natatakot sa magiging asawa mo? Mas matapang pa yata sayo ang babae'ng 'yon eh."

Shawn puffed an annoyed breath.Tiningnan nya ang tatlo nya pang kaibigan na nasa gilid nya lang rin.

"Palitan nyo nga 'to, parang gusto pa ako itakbo sa simbahan ng gongong na 'to." inis na sabi nya

Nginisian siya ng tatlo."Magpatangay kana." biro ng walang iba kundi ang pinaka close nyang kaibigan si Captain Dwight Collantes.Nagtawanan sila Hans, Kiarro pati narin si Gian

This five lunatics were best of friends.Mga nakilala nya ng highschool at college, maging kasamahan sa trabaho at pati narin mag-kasosyo sa negosyo ng mga ama nila.Ilang years nya ng kaibigan ang mga ito, magugunaw nalang siguro ang mundo kaibigan nya parin ang apat na lunatic na 'to.

"Mga gago talaga--"

"San ba tayo dadaan? Sa likod ng simbahan? O dyan nalang sa entrance?" pagputol ni Gian sa mura nito na naging dahilan ng muling tawanan ng mga kaibigan nya

Mga tarantado talaga ang mga kaibigan nya.Dapat hindi nya na ito inimbitahan sa kasal nya, kung hindi lang siguro nya kaibigan ang mga ito ay baka sinipa nya na ito palabas ng simbahan.

"Ano pre? Handa mong sirain ang sariling puri para itakbo si Shawn sa kasal nya?" hirit ni Kairro

"Bros before hoes diba? Kaya why not?" pabirong sabi ni Gian at siniko siya

Agad siyang nalaswaan sa ginawang pagsiko ng kaibigan."Putangina mo, Gian.Lumapit kapa at ikukulong talaga kita."

"Sa kwarto?" pigil tawang muling hirit Kiarro

"Mga putangina talaga-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Shawn ng bumukas na ang pinto ng simbahan.

His eyes were quickly glued to hers.Nawala ang lahat sa paligid nya at ang natira lang ay ang babae'ng naglalakad palapit sakanya.She was stunning.She's wearing a beautiful elegant wedding dress.Habang naglalakad nga ang babaeng papakasalan nya ay bumalik sa alaala nya lahat ng masasayang pinag daanan nila.

Hindi siya makapaniwala na ang long-time crush lang nya noon ay mapapangasawa nya na ngayon.That thought of that made him happy, so much that when his bride stopped infront of him, He teared up.

"Ah fuck." mura nya.Imbes na ang bride ang maging emosyonal ay siya pa 'tong nagpapahid ng luha.

His friends tried to hold back their laughter.Alam naman ng mga ito na sa dalawa ay si Shawn talaga ang baliw na baliw sa babae, kulang nalang ay mag-pamental ito.Iniisip nga rin siguro nila na baka naawa lang ang bride kaya nito pinakasalan si Shawn pero kahit na ganun ay walang pakialam si Shawn.Ang gusto nya lang ay maikasal at maitali sa babae'ng pinaka-mamahal nya.

"Itutuloy ba natin o iiyakan mo lang ako?" the bride said, grinning as she offered her hand to him which he accepted.

"I wanna marry you." agad na sabi nya na nagpangisi sa babae

"Tch.Obviously, Takbuhan kaya kita dyan." pilyang biro nito na sinabayan ng pag-irap

Kinabahan dahil doon si Shawn at mabilis na pinulupot ang kamay sa bewang ng mapapangasawa bago binuhat ng pa-bridal style."Hoy--!"

"Father, We do.I do, She do.Alis na po kami para mag-honeymoon? Paki-announce na pong husband and wife." agad na sabi nito sa pari'ng natulala sa ginawa nya.

"Shawn!" tili ng bride."Ano ba! Nakakahiya! Ibaba mo ako."

"Shall we start the wedding ceremony like this?" turan ni Shawn at muling tumingin sa pare."Let's start, father."

"Mr.Taneda this is so inappropriate, Simbahan po ito-" natigilan ang pari nagsalita na ang bride.

"Father, Simulan nalang po natin.Ikasal nyo na po kami."

Shawn face lit up when he heard that while on the other hand, his friends make disgusted sounds.Mga lunatic talaga, kagaya nya.

After almost 30 minutes, the crazy couple finally got married.Kahit nga weird at may eksena ang dalawa ay hindi naging 'yon para di maituloy ang kasal nila.

Reception was perfect.They couldn't ask for more.After the bride changes to her second dress, nagsimula narin ang kainan.But the bride unexpectedly prepared a small program to entertain the guest which obviously became a hit.

A solving case mystery.Mahilig talaga doon ang asawa nya, kaya ito naging detective.When the lights suddenly turned off, everybody panicked.

"Turn on the lights!" Shawn shouted as he felt someone gently leaned on his shoulder.

Napangiti si Shawn ng makitang nakasandal na sakanya ang nakapikit na asawa.She also had blood dripping on her lips, Where did she get that so fast?

"Someone killed the bride!" the emcee -AKA Kiarro Sandoval shouted when the the lights turned on.Mukang kinuntsaba ito ng bride kaya naging emcee bigla.

"Ladies and gentleman, There has been a 'murder'.In this part of the event we have indentified four suspects who are all close to the bride, Valerie Irish Grey-Taneda!"

Hindi napigilan ni Shawn ang mapangiti ng malapad ng banggitin ng kaibigan ang buong pangalan ng asawa at karugtong ang apelyido nya.Well, kasal na sila kaya dapat masanay na siya.

"Those four suspects are...The Bestman, Gian Carlo Canes!"

"What!?" Gian's genuine shocked reaction boomed."That's impossible! Nakakamatay ang sobra kong kapogian pero hindi ako ang suspect!"

Shawn rolled his eyes.Nagbuhat na naman ng sariling bangko ang babaero nyang kaibigan.Kailan ba ito makakahanap ng babae'ng katapat para matigil na ang pagiging babaero nito?

"The Husband's closes't bestfriend, Dwight Collantes!"

"I would never, She would more likely kill us." Dwight's honest comment made Shawn chuckled.He was right

"The greteast pastry chef, Hanz De Luna!"

"That can't be." walang emosyon si Hanz na parang ipinabasa lang sakanya ang sinabi

Pigil ang ngisi ni Shawn ng isa-isa ng banggitin ang mga kaibigan nya.Seriously? His friend were the suspects? His wife is so extra.He was sure that the emcee will complete the four suspects but he was shock when he heard the last name he was not expecting at all.

"And lastly the husband, Caleb Shawn Taneda!"

His jaw dropped as he looked at his wife.Nakita nyang pinipigilan nitong mapangiti.

"Seriously, Wifey?" mahinang tanong nya

"What's your alibi, Mr.Husband?" tanong ni Kiarro na nakangisi, grabe ang kalokohan na 'to.

Someone gave him a mic.Fuck.Nang tingnan nya nga ang mga bisita ay mukang maaliw rin ito sa kalokohang nangyayari.It was his wife's idea, he had to get along.Fuck it!

He cleared his throat to speak.He had to act, for his wife's satisfaction.

"T-that can't be! W-we just got married! " He stuttered

It was bad.He knows that, He didn't know how to act.His friends were laughing after hearing what he said, even his preteding-to-be-dead wife snickered.

"Honey, don't laugh."

"You should take acting classes." she said, eyes were still closed.

As Shawn stared at his wife's ethereal face, he gaze slowly dropped down her soft looking lips.Hindi nya napigilan ang sarili na halikan ang labi ng asawa dahilan para mapamulat ito.

"Y-you." she got up, blushing madly.

"See? I didn't kill my beautiful wife, infact...I bring her back to life through a true love's kiss like sleeping beauty." He said, mic on, grinning from ear to ear

The crowd roared and awe filled the reception.Tinapos kaagad ng groom ang palabas ng bride, imbes na Murder Mystery ay naging romantic fiction fantasy.

Well, For Shawn, It does feels like fantasy.Marrying the woman you loved does felt like a damn fantasy so much that he wanted to last, He wanted it to last forever.
