QOD: Never love someone who thinks you're ordinary. _oscar wilde
As they finally sat down after a long walk down the aisle, they both had big smiles.
Their cheeks hurt a bit from all the smiling and waving, and their hands were tired. It felt good to have a seat.
They relaxed, and the person in charge started saying prayers and introducing special guests, including Fuad's aunts who teased him when he entered. He gave them a look and then turned to his wife, finding comfort in her.
They didn't pay much attention to the crowd. Instead, they kept talking about things that might make others curious. The noise of the people talking and the formalities happening around them faded away. It was just the two of them, caught up in their own world of shared stories and unspoken understanding.
"I'm so hungry." Fuad spoke.
"Me too, I couldn't eat since breakfast."
"Why can't we just cut the cake and start eating."
She let out a shy laugh and said "I didn't even see any cake where is it?"
He nodded in the direction of the cake, it was beautiful, three stepped cake iced in baby pink and white, the first which was pink the second white and the last pink, and then the whole three was laced in black, "beautiful" she smiled and nodded.
"So what do you think ?" He asked.
"It's beautiful!"
"Ya Allah , what's with you and seeing the beauty in everything."
She laughed, and said "it's a gift! Are you jealous?"
"Hell no! I just want to have a bite, or ten."
She kept laughing to what she took as a joke, meanwhile the photographers were already taking shots of this beautiful moments.
"I'm serious, stop laughing." He took a close look at the smiling beauty, and perhaps saw something that wasn't right on her face and helped adjusted it, using his finger to wipe something of her forehead.
"What?"
"You're everything I'll ever ask for."
The shy bride got speechless, she fidgeted on her nails in seconds.
And there he saw her henna, red as he has asked for.
"Omg! Your henna is so beautiful, how come you didn't show that too me?"
"It took you long to see, I don't know what it is about my face that keeps you wandering from my forehead to my jaw.
"Okay, your forehead is small, and your jaw is pointy." Then he roared with laughter.
Photographers didn't stop clicking.
"Okay jokes apart I want that cake, let's just rush everything and go cut it."
"Wait for it plea--" he held her hand and made and attempt to drag her there, she screamed in a low voice, that her eyes pleaded with him.
He laughed hard again, and said "I love watching you squirm!"
She smiled, and hit him softly on his shoulder and that made him laughed even harder.
"Okay, we'll wait." He said smilingly.
"May we have the bride and the groom on stage please?" The MC called out.
"Let's go do us, no hard dance please, I can't have you complain of pains, when I have plans for you." Fuad mouthed.
Zayba nodded and pretended she didn't hear the "plans for you part.". He smiled and held her hand to the stage, the DJ played a song from the bands, 'perfect by Ed sheeran' on playing the music,
the groom moved closer to his bride and held her by her waist, her hands, both on his shoulder, and his both on her waist, they sang the song in sync with their body language, and click click, photographers did not stop clicking.
"So I was telling you about the plans tonight." He said in the middle of dancing.
"Baby, can you hold that in for now, we have cameras all on us, let me deal with this one please."
He laughed and the little fireworks displayed and made the place even more beautiful, plus the striking purple light, it was lit!
"Amarya take it easy o." Her girls said.
"Love nwantinti!" (Love is inexpensive) chioma screamed. "ahụrụ m unu abụọ n'anya" (I love you both) she added smilingly.
Zayba couldn't help but laugh, what was she even doing? Nothing.
"God! Baby when you smile I feel like ...Okay you said you want to handle this for now."
She rolled her eyes at him and he grinned, a toothy one, you could see his whole set of teeth.
"Baby, were all this songs your choice?" Zayba asked.
"Oh yes, but it's not like I've been paying attention to that, something else has taken over me." Fuad mouthed.
"Now you're making it sound like it's the first time we're together."
"No, it's because it's our first time till forever."
