"Do you Lina Samuel take Wesley Corrah as your beloved husband?" I stare into the only pair of eyes that will always make me truly smile with a smile of assertiveness. "I do."
"Do you Wesley Corrah take Lina Samuel as your wedded wife?" I could see the confidence in his eyes, heck I could even feel it radiating off of him." I do".
"You may now kiss the bride", this was the moment where it becomes official, this handsome man in front of me is going to be officially mine and I his. His lips meet mine with joy and hunger, I'm not sure which, but I am sure that right here in front of me is the one and only man I will only love.
* Five years before*
"Babe, we did it! We graduated!" I say hugging him so tight I think I nearly cut off his blood circulation.oh no I'm practically a full time citizen, an adult of the United States, a delegate of Stanford University......I'm a woman!
Something about this excites me even more."Oh my Gosh Ken! We're adults!"I look up into his crystal turquoise eyes that always showed me how much he loved me no matter what.
"Ken, we can finally get married!" I look up at his face staring at his chiseled features, his straight little nose that always seemed so sensitive, his dark and silky hair that constantly looked scattered, his plump and pink lips that always kissed me just for the fun of it, then his beautiful crystal turquoise eyes that always transported me to another world.
I noticed he was being awfully quiet, his eyes looking everywhere but at me . I reach my hand up, standing on my toes to lift his face towards my direction. Then I noticed he wasn't smiling, in fact he looked sad and distracted, I hated when he was like this.
"What's wrong babe?" I try to figure out what he might be thinking but fail, I'm not surprised, his eyes never really spoke his thoughts in volumes.
He held my hands in his hands then takes it off his face. What shocks me the most was the fact that he didn't let it go, he drew circles on the back of my palm, then lifted it to his lips. He placed soft kisses on my fingers staying longer when he got to my wedding finger. his lips were still on that finger when he looked at me through his long lashes.
"I'm sorry. I promise you one day I'll put a ring on this finger, but not now." He kisses it one last time. It takes me time to register what he just said, I couldn't think straight because his kisses always got me high, I was addicted to his kisses like a man to his drugs.
But I couldn't shake the feeling that he was kissing me goodbye." What do you mean? Are you telling me goodbye?" I asked silently praying I was just going crazy from his kisses.
He looked even more sad now, he bit down on his lips then said the words I dreaded the most.
"Lina I'm going to Mexico for a couple of years." I looked up at him, but that's a good thing, why does he sound so sad? "I could just come with you", I tell him trying to make him see my point of view.
"No. Your gonna stay here and live your life " he said with a serious tone. I didn't know when I started crying but I was basically a fountain." No! You can't go! I can't move on without you in my life!"
I held him by the collar while placing my head on his chest, I was in a drastic state of tears at this point.
"Stop it! You're making this harder than necessary. "He rubs off my tears."Don't cry okay? I will always love you no matter how long I go without you or how far I am from you, but if you love me back you would forget about me and move on with your life".
He looks at me for a very long time, as if trying to ensure me he will come back." Ken if you really love me you would let me come with you", I say in a whisper. I look up into his eyes with a silent prayer in my mind that he would let me go along with him.
"But if you don't love me .......just leave." I say in a more composed voice.
"Lina.....I wish I could but-" I knew it, I wasn't going to watch him break my heart, not when I'm meant to be happy." Just leave!"
"Listen to me-"
"I said leave Ken. Please".
He looks at me one last time then he starts walking away. Nothing in the world could explain how broken I felt right now, I broke down.
He was the best thing that ever happened to me, he completed me. I was meant to be happy, I mean it is my graduation right? But why aren't I? Oh I know, because Ken Andrews ........just dumped me.
