Love You From Afar
#WritcoStoryPrompt109
The air is perfumed with wild and magnificent blooms between ranges of hills and mountains, where love comes and dallies. Who would you like to spend your time walking through those valleys with?
"I will always love you from afar" the voice echoed on my mind.
It's been 8 years since I chose to follow my family's decision. They wished for a brighter future for me but the process made me lost my most treasured love.
Classical music continues to play inside as the after wedding party goes on. I was wearing an off shoulder maroon, knee length with a long trail back gown paired with a set of pearl jewelry. My outfit screams dominion.
Party don't suits me very well, the reason why I took a walk around the garden to escape. The venue is great. It has an overview of the blue ocean, on the left side, and a wonderful mountain view on the other side. Picture perfect for both the sunrise and sunset.
Everything around me today, remind me of him. What would be my future if I choose him? I silently asked myself. Did he still loves me ? Maybe not, I was gone for 8 years. Who can be so stupid to wait without assurance? I sigh heavily. What am I thinking.
I never heard of him 5 months after my parents sent me abroad. Both our friends also never heard of him. My parents really give their best to set us apart. 8 years had passed, maybe his happily married already with a two or three children which he was dreaming of.
I was busy recollecting my memories when a 5 year old girl handed me a paper "Please, come back to the party." Confusion was written all around my face. Like what ? the letter made my heartbeat fast, unknowingly I turned myself toward the party.
Just in time that the EmCee announces the bridal bouquet catching. It is a must that all the maiden inside the hall will participate and that's include me. I have no intention of catching the bouquet, so I stand on the very back of all the maidens.
"1..."
"2..."
"3..." the EmCee signaled. And I could say the it was very coincidental that of all lady's the bouquet lands at me, exactly hitting my head.
The organizer motioned me on the empty seat beside the newly wed couple. I wonder who was chosen as my partner. The Emcee keeps talking until all the venue went dark. I was alarmed at the very moment, this was not just a mere party, many high profile person are invited but weirdly only I panicked, everyone stayed silent and calm.
Minutes had passed when someone talked in the microphone. And I'm very sure it was not the organizer.
"Ameerah,..." that voice, my heart wildly beats upon hearing my name. I miss him, so much miss him. A video clip of mine flashed on the projector, and this time it made me cry. It was me and him spending our moments on the mountains. If time could go back, I will still walk with him through that valley. The video clip ends with the same phrase 'I will always love you from afar.'
The light came back and infront of me was the man, I dearly love. Tears were running down my face, forgetting the people around us.
"Ameerah Jireh, I'm sorry I can't love you from afar anymore..." I stayed silent, trying to convince myself it was not a dream.
"I can't love you from afar anymore. Will you be mine again..." He kneeled his one leg and pull out a sapphire ring in front of me.
"For lifetime?" Speechless. Tears, was just my respond.
8 long years and here he is. YES. I will definitely want you for lifetime!
