In Your Heart

Wedding Jitters

Anaya's P. O. V

I didn't see Andrew from last night. He wasn't even in the breakfast. Ma said we can't meet each other until marriage. But I don't want to wait. I'm falling in love with him. And this time it wasn't any school crush. It was true love.

"Please keep your head straight madam." the hair stylish said to me. They are preparing me for last 2 hours. Currently I am wearing a silk robe sitting in front of my dressing table. My belongings are packed in two different luggages. One for my honeymoon and another for my moving out with Andrew. Ma had gifted us a villa near my college. So that we can have our privacy and it will be easier for me to attain my classes. But right now I am feeling cold feet and my heart is beating in a very high speed. What will happen after our marriage?

Andrew's P. O. V

I am freaking mad right now. I am mad nit with anyone but me. I spoiled everything last night. I broke all my rules and boundaries. I became weak in front of her just because of my emotions. I can still feel her face when she waa so happy with me.

I kicked the chair in my office. How could I become so weak?

"Are you ready Andrew." Robert entered my office room. He's my best friend from school.

"What happened?" he asked me after seeing the whole room.

"I don't know what to do Robert" I said to him."You know I have always avoided her but now something in me is melting. I'm becoming weak in front of her."

"My dear friend it's called wedding jitters. Everyone faced this feeling. Just forget about it and get ready. Your bride is waiting for you." he encouraged me.

"Ok let's go get my bride" I said to him buring my thoughts deep down in my heart.

I got ready putting my tuxedo on. I checked the time. Only 30 minutes left to my wedding. I inhaled sharply and left for the church.

I was standing on the alter with Robert behind me and the priest was standing beside me. Suddenly the door opened and there she was, my bride. She was looking like an angel in that white dress. Her hair was falling on her waist freely. Instead of her veil I can feel her looking at me. She was walking slowly towards me with white roses on her hand. When she reached to the alter I gave her my hand. She took my hand and climed on the alter. I can see her red lips from the transparent veil. She was a beautiful bride. My bride.

We were standing face to face in front of the priest.

"Do you Andrew Black take Anaya Thompson as your wedded wife? Will you take care of her all your life? In good or in bad, in happiness or in illness?" The priest asked me. For a second the whole world stopped in front of me.

"Am I ready to take responsibility? Will I be able to fulfill all my promises as her husband? What if I failed? What if I hurt her unknowingly or make her pregnant in this one year? What if I fall in love with her? " all these possibilities were running inside my head. I became blank for a moment. I can't do this. Wife or family is not my thing. I can't do commitments to make her happy all her life. We are just getting married for a year. After that I will be free from all responsibilities. Or I can just deny right now then there will be no need for me to be committed for 1 year. Yes it's the best idea. I should deny and leave from here. I can't marry her.
