Arrange Marriage

Ch 37 /Wedding/

In a charming party palace adorned with Pooh's and Pavel's favorite flowers, the air was fragrant with daisies, lavenders, and a stunning array of white, pink, and red roses. Candles flickered softly, casting a warm glow over the gathering.

At the altar, Pooh stood nervously, a mix of excitement and anticipation bubbling within him. He could hardly wait to see Pavel, his heart racing with each passing moment.

When Pavel finally arrived, Pooh was overwhelmed by the beauty surrounding him. His eyes filled with tears of joy as he took in the scene.

As the ceremony progressed, Pooh and Pavel stood infront looking at each other eyes, their hearts full of emotion. The officiant spoke gently, reminding them of the significance of their union.

Officiant: Now you may place the rings on each other's fingers.

Pooh smiled and nodded, slipping a simple but elegant ring onto Pavel’s finger.

Pooh: With this ring, I promise to always be your friend, to support you in all things, and to share in life’s joys and challenges. I love you deeply.

The audience watched with affection and cheered for them. Pavel took a deep breath, his heart swelling with all the love he was receiving from Pooh. After Pooh's turn Pavel also placed a ring on Pooh’s finger.

Pavel: With this ring, I promise to cherish you, to laugh with you in happy times and comfort you in sad times. I love you more than words can say.

With their vows exchanged, they turned to face each other, eyes glistening with tears of joy. The officiant declared them united in marriage.

Officiant: Now you can kiss??

Pooh tenderly cradled Pavel's face in his hands and asked,

"Can I?"

Pavel responded with an eager nodd with teary eyes, signaling his approval.

Pooh then leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Pavel's lips. Their first kiss was soft and gentle, a tender promise of the love they would share for a lifetime. The room filled with applause and cheers as they embraced, their hearts entwined, ready to begin their journey together.

The guests in the party palace were filled with joy for the newlyweds, showering them with congratulations and gifts. Some were enjoying the delicious food, while laughter and cheers filled the air.  Yet, tucked away in a shadowy corner, one girl stood with red-rimmed eyes, observing the celebration with a somber expression. She then stormed out of the palace, her anger palpable as she left the celebration behind.

Pon: Congratulations, brother and brother-in-law! I wish you both immense happiness in your new life together.

Pon handed the bouquet of flowers to his brothers with a warm smile.

Pon: And welcome to the family, brother-in-law!

Pavel: Thank you.

Pavel responded with a grateful smile.

After a long day filled with celebration, it was finally time for Pooh and Pavel to leave. Most guests had departed, leaving only close family members behind.

Pavel’s mom was getting emotional as she watched her son, and Pavel felt a wave of emotion looking at her. Sensing this, Pooh gently held Pavel's hand to provide comfort.

Ms. Suchada then called Pooh aside, her expression serious.

Ms. Suchada: I’ve cared for my son like a delicate flower. Please take good care of him; simple things can hurt him easily. Speak gently with him—he’s sensitive and has a pure heart.

Ms. Suchada: I’m entrusting my son to you completely, and I hope you won’t let him down.

Pooh gently took Ms. Suchada's hand, reassuring her.

Pooh: Don’t worry. I will love him more than I love myself. I promise to give him all the love I can and to never disappoint him.

Hearing this, Ms. Suchada felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Pooh : But please, try not to cry in front of Pavel when he leaves. It might make him sad too.

Ms. Suchada: Don’t worry. I will send him off happily.

As they approached the car, Pavel sat inside, looking quietly sad. He glanced back at his parents one last time, waving goodbye.

Ms. Suchada:Take care, son. I love you.

She said as she reached through the window to caress his cheek. His dad also waved goodbye, sharing in the bittersweet moment.

Ms. Anong hugged her best friend tightly and said,

"Don’t worry. I’m confident my son will take even better care of Pavel than he does of himself."

After the final farewell, everyone headed home. Pooh and Pavel settled into their car, while Pon and Pooh's parents drove in another. Sensing Pavel's sadness, Pooh took his hand for reassurance. Pavel looked up at him with teary eyes, and Pooh felt a pang in his heart; he didn’t like seeing his baby so upset.

Gently, Pooh cupped Pavel's cheek and pressed soft kisses to both of his eyes.

Pooh: Everything will be okay, baby. You’ll get used to it.

He comforted Pavel by caressing his cheek. In response, Pavel rested his head on Pooh's shoulder, silent but grateful. Pooh opened his embrace, pulling Pavel closer, offering him warmth and love as they drove into their new beginning.
