Agatha Anderson
Agatha Anderson — Christ (Wedding Day)

I just felt love. And that's you.

I don't understand why since I've known you I can't even look at other women the same way I look at you.

I could not believe staring at the figure of the man in a neat and perfect suit in the reflection of that mirror.

Yeah, a reflection of me.

I'll marry the woman I love in a few hours, even if she doesn't love me

How pathetic?

Maybe yes but I don't care.

All the paths I took to be by his side were not as easy as you might imagine.

My love is not just nonsense. I loved him for about ten years.

Ah...

Do you think I just got to know Agatha?

You're wrong.

I knew her from ten years ago even though I'm sure Agatha doesn't remember her at all.

Yeah, he doesn't recognize me at all.

Waitaminute!

Don't think I've lied. I didn't cheat him or anyone. Like I said many times that I love her and that's the truth.

Then what have I been doing all this time? Why don't I go to her sooner and express my feelings to her?

You guys must ask such a thing, right?

I'm sorry, but I can't answer that yet. I have reasons I can't say yet.

What is clear is that on this long-awaited happy day, my dream of having it was realized.

"You're done? We need to get ready soon" asked Leon who appeared at the door.

"Gee, I must admit today you're perfect and a little more handsome than Christ," as usual, even the big smile that makes his face more handsome also makes me laugh.

"Thanks, brother."

Leon closed the door and stepped closer to his cousin who was still standing in front of the glass.

"Eventually your obsession materialized?"

"How many times have I told you this isn't an obsession, Leon."

"Then what? You're with your first love?"

"You can call it a true love struggle."

Leon laughed at my answer, because he really thought I could turn out to be stupid and silly when it comes to Agatha.

"But I admire all the things you've fought for her, Christ. It was your tenacity and stubbornness that hadn't changed for about ten years to love her. Also all the pain you went through for it."

I smiled faintly, and Leon patted me on the shoulder twice before smiling broadly encouragingly.

"Well, I don't think it's time we talked about serious things when we're happy. Come on out, your mother's been nagging me ever since."

"Leon."

"Yes?"

"Thank you for always being there and accompanying me. You are my beloved cousin, my precious brother."

"Stop talking to you, Arthur will be upset if he hears you flattering me more than he does" Leon replied, leading them to laugh.

After Leon took me to see Leon's mother and parents, I set foot into the bridal chamber.

I opened the door slowly and looked at the woman I loved there, sitting in front of the mirror looking beautiful in her white dress.

I knocked on the door as a sign of my arrival, you remember that Agatha hated people who broke through privacy (like I used to).

"You done yet?" tanyanya looked at me. And again I was fascinated by it.

"Have you, what else should be prepared for a groom who is already handsome like me?" my candlestick that produced a sneering look from her followed by a smile at the corner of her lips.

"You're beautiful."

"Thank you."

I looked at her from the mirror, it felt like today would be the most beautiful moment of my life.

"For what? You've been praising yourself before, being praised too much makes you big-headed later."

Even Agatha said it out loud but I think it was like a charm on her own. It's cold, and sometimes rough.

"Oh, are you guys together? Christ you have to wait in front, don't meet your bride first" said Joshua, who stood in the doorway with both hands in front of his chest.

"Sorry Josh, I just want to see it for a while" I replied smiling and patting her on the shoulder, "Your best friend is too charming" I whispered then passed out leaving them.

Well, if you ask me if I'm not jealous of Joshua the answer is yes I'm jealous.

But it used to be because I realized that the two of them were indeed that close even closer than siblings. And I believe they are nothing more than that because until now their status was only friends.

If they are in love, shouldn't they be lovers long ago?

So I believe in both of them.

I saw my mother smiling pretty with Arthur, Jennie Arthur's wife and Safhira their little daughter. My beloved little family.

Since last night I've been making noise about this and only this time I've seen my mother's big smile again since the death of my father.

Then on the other side was Mr. Anderson with Gabriel and the Sanders family. They also looked happy especially Mr. Anderson who since I said to marry Agatha, gradually his health improved even though he was still in treatment.

Everyone is happy with our marriage without them knowing there is agreement in this bond.

I hope this time God no longer punishes me. I hope God will allow me to redeem all things of the past.

There was a sliver of pain that slipped when the shadow of someone came to my mind when I saw a man with his minus glasses enter the room. The man who smiled at some other guests and sat right behind the line of Agatha family. Greet Gabriel and Mr Anderson until his eyes are drawn to me.

For a moment I felt a chill in the gaze of the eyes that was only a split second before the owner turned to someone else.

I still remember it.

I will never be able to erase it from my memory.

The fear still exists...

Hey, um, hey,

I know you're looking at me right now.

I know you're always watching me, sorry I'm here.

Excuse me.

But can I ask you one thing?

You can punish me as much as you want.

But let me take care and love Agatha for the rest of my life...

Let Agatha be happy with me.

Just as I exhaled slowly in a thread of hope and prayer, the door of the room opened again.

And Agatha stood there in her white dress.

It looks beautiful, graceful and perfect like an angel from heaven.

Walking hand in hand with Joshua as her companion, Agatha walked towards me. Many guests stared at her as if bewitched by her beauty. And a smile on her lips further embellished Agatha's figure.

And I, standing here waiting for him.

All the things that happened before this, how I worked with him until fate came here, made my heart warm and without me knowing a speck of clear water fell from the corner of my eye.

Shit, am I the only groom crying in front of his woman?

It's okay, if it's for Agatha.

I stretched out my hand, took her hand from Joshua. And that beautiful brown netra looked at me with a smile she had just shown me for the first time.

Agatha Dwyne Anderson's.

I accept you to be my wife.

And promise...

...

Even I heard a shudder in my voice as I swore for her until the last sentence of my breath was a little breathless.

And when we officially became a couple, I felt like I could explode right then and there. I feel I cannot take all this happiness.

May the oath I make not be broken by a covenant.

Hopefully in the time set I can change the direction of his heart.
