It is a story of the unfair side of love.

I DO

            It was summer when my bestfriend Lara had celebrated her wedding. Everything was perfect. Everyone was excited to see the groom and the bride, even me I was so excited. After a while, the wedding ceremony was started and the people who want to witness the wedding are all smiling much more with the groom. But when I saw Lara, she was crying maybe because she was so happy. Until she reaches the altar, but Lara is still crying. The priest start the ceremony, then for quiet sometime, the most awaited part had arrived and that is to take their vows to each other. But surprisingly, Lara did not take her vow, she cried and say sorry to the groom then she ran. Everyone was in shocked and everyone was trying to react with the situation.  When I looked at the altar I was surprised of what I saw. I saw her ex-boyfriend. Oliver. The one who was standing in front of them, and the one who are residing the ceremony, he is no other than the priest. I was really in shocked when I saw him, he was her first boyfriend who really makes her heart broken and that man was responsible also why Lara wants to marry Benjamin. I was thinking that would be the last day that they will meet each other but I was wrong. Now that she already saw Oliver, for sure Lara will be at lost again.

            Before this traumatic event happened, Lara and Oliver was then a childhood sweetheart. Lara was actually lived in her aunt’s house at Manila then Oliver that time was living in his brother’s house. When they finished studying highschool, Lara’s parents decided to send her in London to pursue her college degree and because of that Lara and Oliver had been separated from each other. When they both in second year college, Lara decided to go back to the Philippines to take a vacation, a vacation that take her for so many years, then she decided to continue her education in Manila.

            A month later, Lara received a letter came from Oliver, Lara wondered what the letter was all about and when she opened it she cannot found any message she search for Oliver to ask what he wants to tell her. But she can’t found Oliver she did not know, Oliver was preparing a special dinner to my house. I was then Lara’s bestfriend for so many years. Everything was in place, but Lara that time is still searching for Oliver then when I saw her coming, I warned Oliver to be ready. After a while, Lara presses the doorbell, Oliver and I was so nervous. Then I opened the door. I pretend that I did not know where Oliver was then I let her to get inside. Suddenly, the lights turned off and I bring Lara to the garden where Oliver prepares the dinner. It’s so romantic, the garden was full of red balloon and the table was covered by red table cloth with candle light.
