Leather and Lace {Zarry}

Chapter 38

Harry's POV:

The change was almost like butter, so smooth from our wedding ceremony to the reception which was taking place on the famous Oak Lake Terrace in the same villa. Just the area changed a bit from the terrace garden to this big open area from where the spectacular view of the lake is adding a charm to this memorable evening and it's looking indescribably stunning in the nightfall.

Beautiful white marquee spreading its wings to decorate the place elegantly. The whole place is illuminated by starry sparking lights. It's looking like a galaxy of our own. Everyone is enjoying, having drinks and the lip-smacking food while sitting in these decorated chairs around the round table which is draped with creamy linen clothes. Stunning vases filled with every color roses imaginable, adorning like rainbows as the centerpieces on the tables and around them some glass jar candles are flickering by.

It's all zayn. I only assisted him, but the thoughts and creativity behind everything here is his. He created a mini world of ours here for everyone to enjoy and most importantly, for us to celebrate our union and love in the most magical way possible.

We're seated in the front surrounded by our friends. Everyone is bantering with us. Zayn is laughing with them. He's just radiating happiness. I couldn't take my eyes off him. I just couldn't believe still that we actually got married.

But as I looked down on my sparkling ring on my ring finger, my eyes started to water slightly. Zayn noticed that. He crossed his fingers through mine and brought our interlocked hand near to his mouth. I was surprised when he kissed my hand in front of everyone, as he's mostly shy in the matter of showing his love in public. But when he did and gave me his most genuine happy bright smile, I just melt there. I gave him a feather kiss on his lips very quickly and tried to act like I just didn't do that.

As we were moving through the dinner and all, we were constantly giving each other that look, that unwavering gaze, the look which only make us crave for each other more and more. But we were among our loved ones and very much controlling ourselves for that matter.

When I sensed that everyone is busy chatting and not concentrating on us, I whispered in his ears 'I have a surprise for you baby... '

He knotted his eyebrows suspiciously and looked at me. I took out the letter carefully from my pocket and hand it over to him. He asked 'What's this?'

'Open it babe! You'll know... '

He slowly opened the letter with confusion visible on his face, but then when he started reading it, his expression changed immediately. Drops of tears started to free fall. I have read it before sneakily and it made me cry too. This was a token of love, a gift from his mother. I kept it secret from him. Wanted to surprise him today. I didn't know how he'll react, but I knew it'll make him emotional. And it surely did.

It says something like this...

'Dear Zayn,
We love you soooo much. I'm so sorry, we couldn't be present today on your most special day. Please forgive us baby. We all love you so much. Your sisters are elated to hear the news of your marriage. They miss you so much all the time. Your father loves you too! He just don't know how to express it and show that in front of you. His ego comes before his love for you and that the saddest part.

But we're soooo happy for you my baby!! Oh god I'm crying while writing it. I'm truly happy that you finally got to marry your true love. I knew harry is the one for you who can make you happy forever, but because of your father, I couldn't say it to you. He is such a polite child. He insisted and helped me to reach this letter to you. I know that only he can keep your innocent heart safe. I showered my love for this baby when I spoke with him last time. Hopefully one day we'll get to meet you both in future.
