Xavier showed his smile. He took the ring and immediately pinned it to Graciella's ring finger who immediately hugged the man as soon as he finished putting it in. A warm kiss was given by Xavier just for a moment. Graciella's really happy now. Eventually, she actually falls in love with the man she should be and she feels her life will be perfect.
Graciella clasped Xavier's hand tightly as the man hugged her from behind. They were watching the sun being slowly devoured by the ocean. The sky no longer gives off much of its color. For a moment it began to darken and reveal the existence of beautiful stars.
“Where can you think like this?” asked Graciella who felt this was not Xavier's style at all. He's not a romantic guy. Prefer to do something definite rather than have to be this sweet.
“When you said I didn't ask you to get married properly, I asked Fredy and Arnold. They say women would love something like this. That's why I'm doing this and those who manage everything,” Xavier said glancing at the woman he's holding from behind.
“So these are all Fredy and Arnold's ideas. You are really not romantic,” said Graciella but accompanied by a small laugh.
“But even so I try to give you what you want,” said Xavier again who does not want to be blamed by Graciella.
“Yes, yes, Mr. General. I'm happy with this surprise,” Graciella said twisting her body to face Xavier. Pinched back Xavier's pointed nose.
“After marriage, do not call the Lord General again,” said Xavier with his usual flat tone.
“Then? What do you want to be called? Husband? Dear?” graciella asked with a slightly seductive face to Xavier. Of course it makes Xavier immediately slightly raise the corner of his lips. Imagine Graciella calling her ‘Sayang’.
“It looks like you can call me dear if it's just the two of us,” Xavier said again.
“Why? Would you be ashamed if I called you dear in front of your men? Isn't that going to sound very romantic?” graciella said she was teasing Xavier.
“Not really, I just want the call to sound more intimate to both of us,” Xavier said.
“Alright, I'll try to get used to it, Honey,” Graciella said again. Of course it makes Xavier so happy and anxious with the behavior of Graciella who continues to tease him. Xavier immediately kissed the thin lips that were in front of him. Feel the sweetness that always intoxicates him.
The night wind blows their bodies. Be an early witness to their love union. Xavier kissed Graciella very gently. Slowly look at those soft and beautiful eyes. Graciella saw the man's face. In a moment, only a few hours left then this man will legally be her husband in the eyes of the country. They got through it all. Let go of all the past and let it be the history of their lives and begin a step to welcome a new life. This time, Graciella was convinced, she had already surrendered herself to the right man. The man who was destined from the beginning to be his only man.
“We have to go home now. Mother asked me to return you on time so as not to be too tired tomorrow,” said Xavier softly. Graciella just nodded slowly. Xavier went through Graciella's hand and immediately grabbed Graciella's. Lead him slowly down from the cliff down the white beach. They still have to climb some stairs until they can get to where their car is parked. But because of the happiness that surrounds them and the love that accompanies them, the extent and extent of what the road goes is all beautiful to pass.

“Graciella, why are your eye bags so thick?” asked Monica who had prepared everything early in the morning, she also looked very busy. Maybe because it does not have a daughter makes Monica more busy taking care of everything about Graciella. He didn't even bother Xavier at all. Or because she knew her son would definitely not want her to interfere about him.
“I'm just a little nervous,” said Graciella smiling at Monica.
“Yes, definitely. Everyone will be nervous when going through a new life,” said Monica. She began to polish a little makeup under Graciella's eyes to cover those eye bags. Of course do not want the appearance of Graciella looks shabby at their wedding. Graciella just resigned to get makeup from her future mother-in-law. “What is it still hurting?” monica asked so slowly putting the powder on the scar on Graciella's cheek. Monica could feel the pain.
“No Ma'am, no longer sick,” said Graciella.
“Im sorry Mom, should ...” Monica said again slowly closing the wound to make it look more faint.
“Don't talk about it anymore Mom, it's all over, and we're already here now,” Graciella said staring at Monica who still looked guilty.
“Iya, right. We have to be quick, come on, we're ready,” Monica said again the spirit of dressing Graciella.
Xavier knocked on the door nervously. He didn't sleep well last night either. He was already very impatient to see the photo of the two of them in a paper, their marriage certificate.
Graciella's bedroom door opens. Xavier re-raising his eyes a sign of him being shocked and that face instantly turned in awe. Graciella is not a woman who often dress up until when she is a little dressed, her face is completely different. This time Xavier really dead said seeing his future wife wrapped in a simple dress cut A green sage. It really matches her white skin color.
Graciella was silent to see Xavier who was of course very handsome and neat with his suit that was metallic gray. It was perfectly used by him even like a model.
“Ehm, ready?” said Xavier who almost forgot to say it because he was so overwhelmed with Graciella.
“Yes, he's ready. You go home quickly, I can't wait to see you as husband and wife,” said Monica who drove Graciella closer to Xavier. It was as if he was driving his daughter to the wedding altar. Xavier immediately greeted Graciella who repeatedly took her breath. They immediately headed towards the exit and entered the car that would drive them to the wedding registry office.
“Mother I go first,” Graciella said before she was led into the car by Xavier.
“Ya,” says Monica potluck. Xavier went in through the other door. Monica saw the two brides-to-be together. Really a very nice couple. Monica kept waving her hand even after the car was away.
Graciella clasped her own hand. He often does when he is nervous. Xavier took the hand and grabbed it. Graciella looked towards her future husband who was just staring ahead. Both were second marriages, but it felt like a first marriage to them.
