SHARE THIS SONG WHOEVER NEEDS TO HEAR THIS!❤️ IT CARRIES A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE

ELEENA'S POV

Bumaba ako sa kabayo at inayos ang damit ko. All of the people would think cemeteries are creepy when the night hits but I guess that story didn't exist in this cemetery.

Maliwanag dito dahil sa mga glowstone sa paligid. Fireflies were everywhere. They're like playing around.

"Hi Dad, Mom" bungad ko at umupo sa damohan. I place the roses between them. Caspian is busy right now kaya ako lang pumunta dito. Amora wanted to escort me but I insisted not to.

"It's my Wedding Day tommorow" ngiting sabi ko.

"Your daughter is getting married" sabi ko. If they they were still alive. I'm sure they'll hug and greet me with smiles on their faces.

"Just like you said Dad. I'll do the right thing" I said and stared at their tombstone.

"Mom didn't even saw me singing in front of the tree" I said and chuckled.

"Eleena..."

Agad akong napalingon at napangiti ng makita si Caspian.

"Hi" bungad ko. He smiled and kiss my forehead. He must be done in his work.

"You should have told me that you're coming here" sabi niya st tumabi sakin.

"I don't want to disturb you" sabi ko. Napailing naman siya at biglang ginulo ang buhok ko.

"Kailan ka pa naging disturbo sakin?" ngiting sabi niya. I leaned on him and he gently hug me. He lean his head on my shoulder. Napansin ko ring inaamoy niya ang buhok ko.

"Can you sing a song for me?" Sabi habang nakapikit ang mata. Hiniwakan ko ang kamay niya at huminga ng malalim.

"In the end, When all is said and done.In the end,We learn to overcome.In the end, We'll sing our final song. We forgive,we forget and move on..." Kanta ko. Naramdaman kong napahigpit ang yakap niya sakin.

"That's a beautiful song" sabi niya at tinignan ako. Tumango naman ako.

"I want our children to learn that song" sabi niya at kumalas sa yakap niya. He stood up and offered his hand

"Why?" Tanong ko at tinanggap ang kamay niya.

"It carries a beautiful message. I want them to remember that in their entire life" bulas niya at ngumiti.

"Yeah" Sang ayon ko. I face their grave and bid farewell to them.

"You need to sleep early. It's our wedding day tommorow" bulas niya at isinakay ako sa kabayo. Napahikab ako at tumango nalang.

CASPIAN'S POV

"Eleena, we're here" bulas ko. Nagtaka ako ng di siya sumagot. Napangiti ako ng makitang nakatulog siya.

Bumaba ako at dahan dahang binuhat siya. I enter the palace and the maids greeted me.

"Greetings, Your Majesty" bati ng PK niya. She opened the door and I continued to walk. Ibinaba ko siya sa kama at kinumutan siya. Napatawa ako ng makitang nakanganga na siya.

"Why do you still look beautiful while looking like that?" ngiting bulas ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

"For all the things happened to us. I can finally marry you" I said and kiss her hand. The day after our wedding will be her Coronation day as an Empress.

"Sleep tight, my love. I'll see you tommorow" I whispered and kiss her forehead. I really want to sleep beside her right now and hug her tight.

"Sh*t" bulas ko at napailing. I can still wait until tomorrow. I take a deep breath and immediately get out of the room.

"You can go now" utos ko sa PK niya. She bowed and leave. Napasapo nalang ako sa ulo ko at naglakad patungo sa kwarto. Why is my heart beating fast right now?

Calm down, Caspian. Calm down... Ikakasal ka pa bukas.

ELEENA'S POV

"Future Empress, Can you take a deep breath for a second?" Tanong ni Martha. Huminga ako ng malalim at hinigpitan niya ang corset na ikinadaing ko.

Bwiset parang mababali na yung ribs ko!

"Lorenzo..." Tawag ko.

"Malapit na ba?" Tanong ko. Narinig kong napatawa siya.

"Malapit ng matapos. Makakapagpahinga ka na rin" sabi niya habang inaayos ang buhok ko. It's has multiple french braid and made it into a bun. He also put baby flowers on the bun.

"And for the final touch" ngiting sabi niya. Anne walk towards us carrying box. Binuksan niya ito at bumungad ang isang corona. It's a wedding tiara.

He gently grab the Tiara and put it on my head.

"Done!" Masayang sabi niya. They all sigh of relief. Even some of them sat down in the couch and lean on the wall.

I loom at the time. I guess, a lot of people has arrive now. I wonder how's Caspian?

"Thank you, everyone" pasalamat ko. Theyball just gave me a cheerful smile.

"It's our pleasure, Your Majesty" sabay nilang sabi na ikinatigil ko.

"I still haven't crowned yet" sabi ko at napatawa.

"Dun din naman patungo diba? Uunahan na namin sila" sabi ni Lorenzo na ikinatawa ko lalo.

"We thank you for saving our lives. Make the Imperial Palace know colors and liveliness again. We thank you for your kindness and a soft heart in other people. We thank you for making the Emperor know what happiness is. We pledge our lives to serve you, Your Majesty. Hanggang sa makakaya namin" Lorenzo said and they all bow down. I stood up and face them all.

"T-thank y-you" utal kong sabi at pinipigilang di maiyak. Bwiset! Ikakasal ako. Bawal akong umiyak.

"Then, please take care of this Future hard headed Empress of the Heisenberg Empire" ngiting sabi ko. They all chuckled and nooded.

"Umupo ka muna. May sampung minuto pa naman" sabi ni Anne at ipinaupo ako. Napatingin ako pintuan ng bumukas ito.

A smile formed in my lips when I saw Zane.

"Zane!" Bulas ko. Ngumiti ito at lumapit sakin. I loom at Sir Lorenzo and he just nooded. All of them get out of the room.

"Why are you here? Makikita mo naman ako dun pagpasok" tanong ko.

"I just want to talk to you for a minute. Don't worry, I've already talk to Caspian. He knows that I'm here" sabi niya at tumango naman ako. Napansin kong nakatitig siya sa mga mata ko.

"May problema ba Zane?" Tanong ko. He just shake his head and smiled.

"You're beautiful as ever, Eleena. Your wedding dress suits you. Caspian is very lucky to have you" bulas niya at mapaklang napangiti.

"Zan--"

"I know. I just want to see the woman I love for the last time" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

"What do you mean?" Tanong ko.

"I'm going somewhere far away" sabi niya na ikinataka ko. He's leaving his palace? San siya pupunta?

"Bakit? San ka pupunta?" I said and sit beside him.

"I have some work to do and problems need to solve" sabi niya at umiwas ng tingin sakin. There is something wrong with him...

"When are you coming back? If you have a problem you can talk to me anytime, Zane. I'll do my best to help" sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

"What if... Wag mo nalang ituloy ang kasal?" Sabi niya na ikinagulat ko. Naramdaman kong hinigpitan niya ang paghawak sa kamay ko.

"I'm sorry...I-i just l-love you too m-much. Di kita kayang pakawalan" sabi niya at mapaklang napangiti.

"But I respect your decision. As long as you're happy, Eleena. Masaya narin ako. Wounds can heal little by little right?"he said and held my cheeks.

"I g-guess we aren't m-meant to be t-together. Life sucks sometimes but I know there's better in every tommorow. I'm glad you found your true happiness, Eleena" bulas niya at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

"Z-zane, I'm sorry. I h-hurt you" iyak ko at niyakap siya. Bakit kapag nagmamahal ka may masasaktan talaga?

"It's not your fault. I'm the one who decided to hold on. Don't blame yourself, okay? Don't cry. You'll ruin your make up" pinunasan niya ang mga luha ko.

"Sa s-susunod na buhay ako naman p-piliin mo h-ha?" He uttered and tears started to fall on his cheeks.

"I lov----" nagtaka ako ng di niya tinuloy. Huminga ito ng malalim at ngumiti.

"I'm happy for you,Agapi Mou" bulas niya.

Napatingin kami sa pintuan ng bumukas ito.

"Future Empress, It's time" bulas ni Amora. Zane stood up and wipe his tears.

"Congratulations, Agapi Mou. I'll be going now" he said and walk towards the door. Lumapit si Amora sakin at inilahad ang kamay niya.

"Umiyak ho ba kayo?" Tanong niya. Tinnangap ko ang kamay niya at ngumiti nalang.

"Let's go. I'm sure Caspian is waiting" sabi ko.

CASPIAN'S POV

Nasa harap na kami ng pintuan. Hinihintay nalang namin si Eleena na makarating. A while ago, Zane approach me if he could have a word with Eleena. At first I didn't let him but he said it's important. Zane told me not to mess with us again.

"She's here" rinig kong bulas ni Alejandro. Nilingon ko ang hallways at agad natanaw siya kasama ang PK niya.

F*ck...

"Hi" ngiting sabi niya sa harap ko. I just remained staring at her beautiful eyes.

"Caspian?Are you okay?" alalang sabi niya. Nabalik agad ako sa reyalidad at hiniwakan ang kamay niya.

"Yeah,You look beautiful, My Love"sabi ko. Nakita kong namula siya na ikinangiti ko.

"S-sus! Nambola pa eh" sabi niya at hinampas ang balikat ko.

"You still have one minute to back out, Eleena. In case you change your mind" sabi ko. Napasimangot naman siya at pinisil ang tagiliran ko.

Mukhang wala ng saysay ang pagiging Emperor ko sa kanya. Pinaghahampas na lang niya ako pinipisil.

"Gusto mong umatras ako?" Taas kilay niyang sabi. Umiling naman ako at hinalikan ang noo niya.

"Of course not. Do you think I would let you do that?" Sabi ko.

"Eh bat nagtatanong ka pa? Di ka naman pala papayag" sabi niya at ipinulupot ang kamay niya sa balikat ko.

"Your Majesty, It's time" bulas ni Sebas. They all stand behind us together with Alejandro and the Fairy Queen. Nasa gilid namin ang mga Fairies.

"It's been a while, Your Majesty"

Napatingin ako sa gilid at nakita si Del. He's one of the Elders of Winter Fairies that I've known. He always play with me when I was still a child.

"Years have pass by, your grown up and getting married to a beautiful woman" he said.

"Nice to see you again, Del" bulas ko. Ngumiti ito at tumango.

The door slowly opened and all the noble bowed. Nagsimula na kaming maglakad ni Eleena. Napatingin ako sakanya ng naramdamang napahigpit ang hawak niya sakin.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here" I whispered.Huminga ito ng malalim at tumango.

ZANE'S POV

They both walk in the aisle. I notice Caspian said something. Eleena just take a deep breath and smiled.

Everyone is happy seeing both of them getting married. Should I be happy too? I've heard several Duke's talk about them. They were glad Eleena is going to be the Empress instead of Roselia. They know Eleena will guide the Emperor.

Nagtagpo ang tingin namin ni Caspian. I just smiled at him and nod. Itinuon ulit niya ang tingin sa harap.

"Zane, You okay?"rinig kong bulas ni Elise.

"I'm fine, Elise. Don't bother asking me" walang emosyon kong sabi.

ELISE'S POV

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. I know it's painful seeing the one you love getting married to someone else. I understand Zane...

because I've been there too.

Ang nararamdamang sakit niya ngayon ay naramdaman ko rin ng kinasal silang dalawa ni Ashley.

"Blessings and merry meet. Gentle lords and ladies, their bans having been published, we are here today to join the Emperor of The Sun Imperial Palace, Emperor Caspian Felix Vixen Heisenberg and the Golden Tree Keeper Lady Eleena Dolan Albertine together" bulas ng nasa harap nila.

"They have asked you here to share in their joy, and to declare their love for one another before you as a community" he continued. I took a glance at Zane and he was just staring at Eleena.

Napangiti nalang ako ng mapakla. Lady Eleena is getting married now but why am I not happy? I can now take a move on Zane. I can confess my love again.

Pero di ako pwedeng sumaya sa ganitong sitwasyon. Alam kong nasasaktan ng lubusan si Zane. I shouldn't take a move immediately. Zane needs to heal his heart first and I promise I would never leave him again. I'll do my best to help him until...

He's ready to love someone again...

ELEENA'S POV

"Your Majesty, art thou here this day in pledged troth of thy own free will and choice?" Bulas ng bishop. Napatingin ako kay Caspian.

"Yes, Father" sabi ni Caspian na ikinangiti ko. The bishop turned his head in me

"Lady,art thou here this day in pledged troth of thy own free will and choice?" Tanong niya.

"Yes, Father" I replied. He look at the Nobles behind us.

"In as much as this Lady and His Majesty have pledged their troth to be married this day, we call upon Heaven to bless this union. Therefore if any one can show just cause, why they may not be joined together, by God's Law, or the Laws of the Realm; let them now speak, or else hereafter keep silent for all time" bulas ng Bishop. Tumingin ako sa likod at nagtagpo ang tingin namin ni Zane. He just smiled and nod. We waited for seconds but no one answered.

"There being no objection in this let us continue" bulas ng Bishop. I saw Alejandro approach while carrying a piece of sword.

"Kneel, Eleena" rinig kong sabi ni Caspian. We both kneeled and the Bishop place the Sword between us.

"Swear you now, on this sacred blade, that there is no reason known to you that this union should not proceed" he spoke.

"I do so swear" Caspian replied.

"Is there any reason known to you why this partnership should not be made?" he said.

"There is none" I replied.

"Heavenly Father, creator of all things both in heaven and Earth, we humbly ask thee to bless this union, may these thy servants seek-----"

Habang nagsasalita ang Bishop ay nagtagpo ang tingin namin ni Caspian. I notice he mouthed something. Napataas naman ang kilay ko.

"What?" I mouthed.

"I love you" he mouthed and smiled. Nagsitaasan ang dugo ko sa mukha at agad uniwas ng tingin sa kanya.

Langya! Maraming tao Caspian! Bwiset ka talaga!

"goodness all the days of their lives, may they be strong in defense of what is right, may they be united as one even as thou art with God.May they be numbered amongst thy sheep. We humbly pray in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. AMEN" the Bishop said. Caspian held my hand and we both stood up.

"Do you Emperor Caspian Felix Vixen Heisenberg take unto thyself as husband the Lady and pledge unto her before God and these witnesses to be her protector, defender and sure resort, to honor and sustain her, in sickness and in health, in fair and in foul, with all thy worldly powers, to cherish and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?" tanong ng Bishop sa kanya. Napansin kong napangiti ito at tumingin sakin.

"I will" he said while looking unto my eyes.

"Do you Lady Eleena Dolan Albertine take unto thyself the Emperor to be thy rightful lady Wife/Empress and pledge unto him before God and these witnesses to honor and cherish him to cleave unto him in sickness and in health, in fair and in foul, be his one true and lasting counselor and solace, and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?" tanong niya. Napangiti naman ako at tumingin kay Caspian.

"I will" I said while looking to his beautiful jeweled eyes.

Langya, kala mo ikaw lang ha!

I saw Lesly walking towards the Bishop while carrying a tiny pillow with out rings on it. Nakita kong napangiti siya habang binigay ito sa Bishop. She face both of us and bowed before she get back on her seat.

"Heavenly Father, bless these rings which The Emperor and the Lady have set apart to be visible signs of the inward and spiritual bond which unites their hearts. As they give and receive these rings, may they testify to the world of the covenant made between them"sabi niya at inilapit samin ang singsing.

Caspian took one of the rings and place it on my left ring finger.

"Receive and wear this ring as a symbol of my trust, my respect and my love for you" he said while putting on the ring. Pagkatapos niya itong ilagay ay agad kong kinuha ang isang singsing.

"Receive and wear this ring as a symbol of my trust, my respect and my love for you" I said while putting on the ring on his finger. Tinignan ko siya at nakatingin ito sa singsing sa kamay niya. Kahit di siya nakangiti kitang kuta mo sa mga mata niya na masaya siya. He looks so happy while looking at the ring.

"This circle will now seal the vows of this marriage and will symbolize the purity and endlessness of their love" the Bishop said.

"Blessed are you, O Lord our God, for you have created joy and gladness,pleasure and delight, love, peace, and fellowship. Pour out the abundance of your blessing upon His Majesty and Lady Eleena in their new life together. Let their love for each other be a sealed upon their hearts and a crown upon their heads. Bless them in their work and companionship;awake and asleep,in joy and in sorrow, in life and in death" the bishop said. Tears started to fall on my cheeks.

"Finally,in your mercy,bring me to that banquet
where your saints feast for ever in you heavenly home. We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,now and forever. Amen" he continued. Sa lahat-lahat ng nangyari di ko inakalang magiging kami sa huli. Kahit ano mang mangyari. Kung kayo talaga para sa isat-isa hahanap talaga ng paraan ang tadhana para magkita at magkatuluyan kayo muli.

"By the Power Vested in my by the Realm!
I now pronounce you Emperor Capsian Felix Vixen Heisenberg and Lady Eleena Dolan Albertine Husband and Wife. You may now kiss the Lady" ngiting sabi ng Bishop. Langya, pati siya kinilig. Caspian face me with a smile written on his face.

"C-caspian" I happily said. He wiped my tears and carresed my cheeks.

"I love you, Wife" he whispered.

"I love you too, Hubby" I replied and he kissed me passionately. I sweetly respond to his kisses. I heard the people cheered and clapping their hands.

CHRISTINA'S POV

All the Nobles were clapping their hands and cheering for them. My crazy husband is beside smiling while clapping for them.

I'm still gald they both getting end up together. I know this is painful for my brother but he must accept the fact. Hurting is lart of loving someone. I know my brother can love again and find a bautiful woman like Eleena.

"ANAK NA! ANAK NA YAN! WOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!"sigaw ni Leo.

"BWISET KA! TUMAHIMIK KA!" sigaw ko sakanya at hinampas siya. Ilang buwan nalang at manganganak na ako. Malaki ang pinagbago ng tiyan ko lumaki ito ng lalo pero itong baklang toh diparin nagbabago. Isip bata parin. Bat ba di si Theo ang naging susunod na tagapagmana ng Therondia. Tapos si Leo yung magmamayari ng Academy tutal kulang pa sa pagaaral ang asawa kong toh!

"I just want to cheer them, Dear" simangot na sabi ni Leo. Nakita kong napatingin sa gawi namin.

"Then, look at the face of his" simangot kong sabi. Tumingin siya kay Caspian at napangiwi. Caspian is glaring at him. Parang kinakatay na.

Napatigin ako sa gawi ni Zane. Malamya itong pumalakpak habang nakatingin sa dalawa. I look at the Lady beside him.

Lady Elise Stroban...

I guess the woman who's going to find soon is already beside him. Lady Stroban is a beautiful poem. I hope Zane can read her...

ELEENA'S POV

We both get on the Main terrace of the palace and suprised when I saw a massive audience. When we saw us everyone cheered for us.

Rinig ko ang mga hiyawan nila at pagbati. I wave my hand at them. Tommorrow will be my coronation and would never dissapoint this people.

Guide me always Mom and Dad...

CASPIAN'S POV

The night has come and we're at the Celebration Hall. They were all dancing and talking with other nobles while we're just sitting here at the front with Eleena.

Napansin kong napahikab si Eleena. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nuya na ikinalingon niya sakin.

"Tired?" I said.

"A little" sagot niya at itinuon ang pansin niya sa mga tao.

"You can rest early, Eleena" sabi ko na ikinataka niya.

"No, I won't leave you here. It's our wedding day, Caspian" simangit niyang sabi.

"It's okay, My Love. Your Coronation day is tommorow. You need plenty of rest" I said. This would be a wonderful night for us but I can wait.

"But, what about---" di ko agad siya pinatapos.

"I can wait, Eleena. I don't want you to get tired.I understand" I chuckled and pinch her cheeks.

"Thank you" ngiting sabi niya at hinalikan ang pisngi ko. This woman never fails to make me crazy in love.

"Your Majesty"

Napatingin ako sa harap at nakita si Zane.

"Congratulations on your marriage" he said and look at Eleena.

"Thank you,Zane" ngiting sabi ni Eleena.

"Sadly, I have to leave quite early, Your Majesty" sabi niya at tiniganan ako.

"Then, Be safe on your travel,King Zane" walang emosyon kong sabi.

"I will, Your Majesty" sabi niya at nagpaalam samin. Zane accepted he lose but I hope he'll find someone he can love dearly...

*FAST FORWARD*

ELISE'S POV

"Lady Stroban" bulas ng Personal Butler ni Zane.

"Where is he?" I ask. He immediately escorted me in his room. When we arrive at his palace he immediately get in. Di ko na siya nasundan pa nang dumating ang carriage ko papunta ng masion. I ask my brother is he could wait for an hour. I just want to talk with Zane.

He lied about going somewhere far away. He just wanted to lock himself in this palace. I guess starting from now he won't see Eleena anymore.

Sir Gregor opened the door and I went in.

"Zane?" Tawag ko.

"I'm here, Elise" rinig kong sagot niya. Napatingin sa sa sofa at natanaw siyang nakaupo doon at umiinom ng alak.

I walk towards and sat beside him.

"This is bad to your health,Zane. You should stop this" sabi ko at hinawakan ang baso.

"I-it hurts, E-elise" utal niyang sabi.

"A-ang s-sakit d-dito" he said and pointed his chest. Sinubukan kung hilain ang baso buti nalang at binitawan niya.

"B-bakit ang s-akit?" He ask and face me. Napatigil ako ng makitang nagsibagsakan ang mga luha niya.

Niyakap ako siya at hinagod ang likod niya.

"Iiyak mo lang, Zane. I'm always here" I said while caressing his back.

"A-ayoko ng m-magmahal E-elise. A-ang s-sakit.P-pinipiga yung p-puso ko" iyak niyang sabi.

Masakit magmahal lalo na't hindi ikaw yung pipiliin...

Napangiti nalang ako ng mapakla. I can feel the connection between us right now. I understand him in what he's feeling right now.

"It will heal time to time, Zane. Until one day, you'll realize you're ready to love someone again" sabi ko. Naramdaman kong napahigpit ang pagyakap niya sakin.

"Zane....

I lov-----" I paused and take a deep breath.

"Always remember that I'm here for you always. I'll support you in everything you do. No matter what happens I'll be there for you. I-i'm your friend r-right?" Sabi ko at pinigilang di maiyak. Naramdaman kong tumango siya at ibinaon ang mukha niya sa balikat ko at nagpatuloy sa pag-iyak.

I'll be with you forever, Zane. Kahit di man ako ang mamahalin mo sa susunod basta ang importanteng makita kang sumaya ulit...

"I'll always be your friend, Zane. Always, remember that" I said and kiss his head.
