Until The Next Life

Part 1

Day of Dreams

Author's Pov:

(Present day)

The banquet hall is decorated with white roses, orchids and gypsophila flowers, small plants and golden lights and dim lanterns, artificial candles. The hall looks like a greenery which is only made for the occasion. To say in a few words, the venue looks elegantly beautiful, calm, soft, and the perfect destination for a new destiny. The white wooden door opens, and white roses start to rain on you and the man walking beside you. The guests, friends, and relatives are mesmerized by the charms that you're carrying. Stepping towards the aisle in a white dress, holding the bouquet of white flowers in your nervously shaken hands, a man, looking breathtaking, ethereal in his white tuxedo, walking hand-in-hand beside you, while everyone in the hall is praising you two... You look at the man beside you in a brief and your heart asks the obvious, "Isn't it what you wanted?" Everything seems so perfect, so unreal. So unreal that you almost thought the day was yours until... your eyes landed on the figure standing on the stage, waiting for the man next to you. The last part was never included in your plan.

Y/n's Pov:

(One week back)

"He came into my life like a gust of wind; he bloomed the flowers like a ray of sunshine; he decked the heart like Christmas Eve. He healed something he never broke and broke the same thing again, which was never meant to be. Like the bright Moon who stands beside the flickering lights of stars in the night sky, he stood. He became someone, who never meant to be mine.

He is the seeker of fireflies, and I am the fire who just burns down things into ashes. He lends his shoulder to put my head on them, while I just keep craving for the warm embrace which can hide me from the outside. He held fingers while I held hands, he radiated a soothing breeze, while I just wanted to breathe in them.

He knew I loved him; just didn't know the way I did. He stepped towards someone else, while I kept standing, waiting for him in the crowd. He finds me an-hour-break, and me... I find him my home."

I stopped reading and looked at the person sitting in front of me, wearing a beige-colored suit and a stiletto. The tears were visible in her eyes. The lady, in her late thirties, took a deep breath before saying, "This is... wonderful... just the perfect one I required. Y/n... thanks for writing the monologue and helping me out... again..." I smiled at her and replied, "It's a pleasure, Jonah... so, I think, I can take my leave now..." She handed me over my payment in an envelope asking, "If you don't mind...can I ask you something?" I frowned my eyebrows in confusion before asking, "Is there anything wrong with the monologue? Does it need any modification?" She hurriedly spoke, "No no ... it's not about..."

- Then?

- I received the invitation card yesterday... Taehyung is...

- Oh... yeah... I was the first one to know that...

- Did you tell him? About... your feelings?

- If I did, everything would be a mess... and it isn't his fault that he doesn't feel the same way as I do...

- You wrote the monologue last night... isn't it?

- Yea- ... how do you know that?

- You shouldn't have loved him like this... I mean... it'll only cause you to suffer...

- I didn't think before doing so... I mean it just happened. One day I woke up from sleep and the next thing I knew that... I was head over the heels for him. And it felt like he... you know... that's a misunderstanding though... I thought he loved me too... he does, just not in a lover way.

- What will you do now?

- Well... he asked me to be his groomsmaid...

- What's that?

- Um... like...Groomsmen... grooms-maid...

- No way... and you agreed?

- I did.

- You're kidding...

- Jonah... he is all I have... to call a family... a friend... and it's the same for him.

- Not anymore Y/n. I have known you two since you were teenagers. And I can see it vividly, that, it is killing you... and the monologue is the proof. You two are inseparable... girl, at least that's what I thought; you should've told him your feelings...

- And ruined everything?

- No... listen... I think he knows what you feel for him; and this marriage... this sudden thing is the only way to justify that he is wrong.

- It's not. I saw the way he looked at his lover. It's the same as I look at him. That can't just be a justification.

- What about being the groomsmaid? And grooms-maid? Shouldn't it be groomsmen? Tell me to ask his other friends. It's going to be so hard for Y/n...

- He... wants his... best friend... to walk him down the aisle.

- Huh! What's next? He will invite you to his baby's name ceremony?!

- What's wrong with that?

- You are young now, girl. When you reach my age, you'll understand a lot of things which doesn't make sense to you now. It's been five years since you realized your feelings...

- This Friday it'll be six...mmm... I should stop counting.

- Yeah... you know, I fell in love when I was eighteen... with a girl. And of course, our family didn't agree. She is married now; has two kids, a big house. And look at me. I'm still keeping our memories protected, in my heart. I am still standing at the same spot where we parted our ways. At that time... no one was flexible with people like... us. They called it accident, ill-love. Tell me Y/n, how can love ill?

I lowered my gaze, not knowing what to answer. Love can be so beautifully heartbroken, right? As if an artist painted the entire canvas with the blood of their heart. As if a writer, unable to find the proper words, just wrote whatever came to their mind, with tears from their core. My vision started to get blurry when I heard Jonah speaking, "Your monologue is just the right one for the conclusion of the show. The main character loses the love of her life and is heartbroken ... seeing someone else claiming her Man. If I were to rate these, I'd give you a 100 outta 10. Don't stop writing kid. And be strong for your upcoming life."
