The Veil

Chapter # 18

The sun peeked out of the clouds now and then, bathing the white flowers in the golden hue.

The weather was pleasant. The people present at the venue talked among themselves heartily.

(Name) peaked through a curtain looking at the crowd of people, some faces were familiar and some were not.

"(Name), they are waiting, you need to be quick." Arshi smothered the gown she was wearing.

"Just give me a moment." 

"Anxious, eh?"

"I am just afraid of what is to come after." She licked her lips.

"If you are talking about the wedding night, I'm sure Satoru is experienced enough to make sure you are comfortable." That earned her a slap on the shoulder.

"Ouch, that hurts."

"You deserved that and Keep your mind out of the gutter, I am talking about my life."

Arshi chuckled, her eyes scanning her friend's makeup for any imperfections.

"You look gorgeous, he is probably going to faint right on the spot."

(Name) scoffed, "I am sure he won't."

Arshi hugged her, "(name), I am going to be so alone after this. I never imagine you getting married but here you are. You look absolutely beautiful." (Name) hugged her back.

"No need to get all sentimental on me now or I am gonna ruin my makeup." Arshi has always been with her, through thick and thin. Even when her own turned against her, her friend was there for her. Even though she indirectly caused the death of her lover, she was still by her side and now Arshi was still by her side but (Name) will no longer be there for her.

"Arshi, promise me,"

"Yes?"

"Let go of him." (Name) cupped her cheek, "I am sure that is what he wants of you."

"(Name), I try but it's harder than you realize to forget the only love you've known all your life. And I hope for you to never decipher the pain of such loss." Arshi kissed her forehead, "let's go, I am sure everyone's waiting for the bride."

Satoru was standing as still as he can, eyes wandering to the students of Jujutsu high, all dressed in exquisite clothes that Kugisaki has forced them to buy saying something along the lines of attending a wedding that will go down in history and they should wear attire suitable for historical event such as this.

Megumi did not look happy in this tuxedo and gelled down hair but wasn't complaining too much.

Yuji was buzzing with joy, he was also wearing a suit but the coat was already abandoned somewhere.

Kugisaki was wearing the dress she has spent four hours looking for and dragging the poor boys along with her.

The seniors were there as well, Maki glaring at any possible Zenin member she can find, especially Naoya Zenin, who to Gojo's surprise came to the wedding.

Toge was enjoying refreshments and the Panda was, well being Panda.

Yuta was there as well, conversing with his fellows.

All the staff of Jujutsu tech was there as well, including Nanamin.

The wedding bells rang, signaling the entrance of the bride. Everyone looked at the entrance and there she was, looking glamorous in the gown he has personally bought for her. But her face was hidden underneath the veil.
