"You both shall start your vows. Mr. Alex Steve?" The priest first asked Alex whose nervousness was now replaced with confidence.
His love for Anna was reflected on his entire face which wasn't hidden from anyone here. "Anna Walker, I don't know how you came into my life but my life did change since your entry in it."
"I was never so calm, I had my anger issues but you removed them. I started getting patient with you and falling for you was very easy. I do not have much to give you, you already have money, fame, and every materialist thing but I have given you my heart and soul in this lifetime."
"This is just one lifetime but I hope that in every life, I get to meet you and we become one as well. I love you."
He kept it short and crisp. Up to the point where no one could judge that he was not only sincere but whatever words that left his mouth, were truly from his heart.
Anna smiled seeing him saying those words but deep down, she was blushing so hard that she almost forgot that it was her turn.
But the Priest reminded her when she started speaking, "Alex.. we have grown through a lot but now, I only wish to live my life with you. Have and raise children… support you and in every situation of your lies either it is up or down, I want to cherish every moment. You are like a moon in my night. Committed many mistakes but now at one, I want to just forget them and start this.. new chapter with you. I love you and will keep loving you with all my heart until my last breath."
Everyone once again applauded when the bride finished her vows. Some were happy, some were crying and some were looking at them with daggers but that doesn't ruin the enjoyable moment.
Kiara, who was standing down, just smiled at her parent's worth. 'How they never kick me out in their speeches. So cute..' she was very much happy that despite this being their moments they mentioned her as well.
"In the presence of God and witness of so many people, do you, Ms. Anna Walker, take Me. Alex Steve as her wedded husband? in the times of hard and support and to promise to never leave each other's side?"
"I do," Anna answered with a bright smile and looked at Alex with her glittering eyes.
The priest rounded Alex and asked, "Do you take Anna Walker as your wedding wife...."
"I do," Alex answered back and gave Anna's And a squeeze.
"With the blessings of elders and God, I pronounce you as the legal husband and wife. You may kiss your wife." Just when the priest finished saying, Alex moved closer and lifted Anna's veil.
Moving his face closer to her, he pressed his lips against her soft brush lips with utmost care in his actions. The softness he felt, this kiss was the promise to seal the fate that they have right on them.
But Kiara closed her eyes and sighed. "Oh Oh! Mommy daddy! At Least think of your poor child, she is so innocent" Laughters applied in the hall hearing Kiara's words but Anna just got the glimpse of Alex laughing.
"I love you."
"I love you more.."
…..
Five years later.
Anna gave birth to the two twins who were already big and old enough. They were already five this year and Kiara turned eleven.
She was sitting in her room, and just finished her homework on the study table. Pressing her aching back, she looked outside the large window from her room to see the view outside.
Chirps of birds were heard and a small smile lingered on her face. It was Sunday, family time and soon they all were supposed to gather down in the family room.
Because of this, she thought of finishing her work beforehand but then her eyes went to the frame that was lying near the window. The photograph in the picture was nearly clicked six years ago.
Standing on her wages, Kiara walked by the window and took the photograph in her hand to see the people in it.
"How much I miss you, Leo…" Leo was kidnapped but wasn't found yet. The search was still on but she never lost hope. Her heart never agreed that he was dead, how can he be dead? No, she doesn't think like this.
"Just come back to me… So that we can.. be.." his last words were still engaged in her heart. He will come to have her, but when? How much will she have to wait to have her reunion with him once again?
It was breaking her heart. She doesn't know about his whereabouts, i.e. not sure if he is alive or not but fingers crossed. Hoping to see his face someday and feel the warmness of his hug again.
She was growing up, Kiara started making friends with time but no one was able to get close to her heart just like Leo.
"Kiara!" Anna's voice brought Kiara out of her drama and when she had the photograph near her dress and looked behind to see her mother standing there near the door.
"Baby, the movie is going to start soon. Your father is missing you and your brother.. Dominic and Damien will not stop until you come up.. now come down."
"Yes... Yess mom I will be down in I few minutes." Anna nodded after getting a reply, "Come fast!"
Anna left but Kiara hid the frame well. She once again glanced at the photograph of two young children and smiled in her heart.
'I know you will come back for me.. and I'm willing to wait for you..'
