She had been this little girl. Actually, she has always been like that. But now, she was a grown up lady. All dressed up beautifully in a pristine white gown. Her finger had a platinum band that reminded her of the man who gave her that. She was moving her tongue inside her throat. She had a habit of doing that when she was nervous. All alone in the room, she sat on this couch with all the world's anxiety and excitement.
Her eyes had dark kohl. She rolled them around the room, just to catch a glimpse of her world. Her phone vibrated. She quickly picked it up.
"I'm coming. Be there!"
She smiled faintly. She was nervous... very very nervous... Her palms were sweaty. That's when her mother barged in and asked her to put the veil over her face. The sleek netted garment provided a slight cover from all the evil eyes. She went outside. Everyone was seated, patiently waiting for her... The Bride!...
She did not look up. Or should I say, she did not have the courage to. She was too shy. She walked gently, holding her father's arm firmly. At last, she reached him. He stood there... Straight.. Absolutely dashing. His black tux was shining bright! He smiled as he looked at her... Anxiety ruled her walk. At that time, when she came close to him and stood speechless, he whispered softly, "Don't worry. I'm here. Just relax and know that I love you."
She managed to look up and saw him from within her veil. He sighed as he looked into her eyes. They had tears. But she smiled.
Later that evening, she sat by the window of his room... still in her gown... She was looking at the platinum band he had given. She was emotional... and wanted to say so much. But words wouldn't come out! He came and hugged her from behind. She smiled and turned back.
"Of all the things I've ever prayed for, You remain the biggest wish coming true. Never had I thought that someone could love me more than my parents. You are... and you will... be the only one I dream of at night! You are the only one I will work with to make those dreams come true. You are the only one for whom I pray all day and all night. You are the only one to make me feel more beautiful than I actually am. You have been my everything... more than my life... and you will be... forevermore. I pray to God every morning and all I pray is that He gives you all the strength and power to fight. I do not pray to remove your problems.. that is not possible. The biggest truth of my life has always summed up to just three words... I Love You."
