After a few minutes of waiting.

Aleeya comes back to the church, in a different gown, different veil and different flowers.

This time, she confidently walks down the aisle and stands next to Ash with a smile.

He looks at her, ever so lovingly. He looks at him brother and he nods approvingly. Ash gently takes Aleeya's hand into his.

"You look more beautiful every time I see you. It feels like I'm seeing you for the first time."







She smiles and does a cute little curtsy.

"Okay Priest, let's do this properly now."

The Priest nods at Ash, starts with a little prayer and blesses them. "Do you two want to say your own vows?"

Ash looks and Aleeya, she thinks for a second then nods. "Yes Priest, we'll say our own vows."

Before the Priest could speak, the doors spun open, revealing Aleeya's mom and grandma.

Aleeya's breath catches on her throat as she watches them walk up to her.

"Is this how you do things in your family?" Grandma stares at Ash. "Getting married to a girl without her family present."

Ash swallows nervously and lowers his gaze. "Grandma I... I'm sorry, it all happened so fast I..."

Aleeya holds his hand. "It's not his fault grandma."

"Let him speak." Grandma doesn't shift her gaze from Ash.

"Again ma'am, I'm sorry. It wasn't suppose to happen like this but I can assure you that I truly love Alee and I will always be by her side."

Grandma turns to Aleeya. "You didn't tell me anything."

Aleeya just lets her tears fall. "I'm sorry nana, I thought...",
"We wouldn't support you?" Aleeya nods in tears.

"I wouldn't have" Her mother finally speaks up. "Had I known, I wouldn't have let you throw yourself into the fire, it's going to destroy you."

Ash looks between Aleeya and her mother.
"I would never hurt Alee Mrs Kingsman."

Nevada chuckles. "No, not you. Her." She stares at Aleeya "She's going to destroy herself." Aleeya can't seem to stop her tears.

Her mother looks at ground, wiping her tears and thinking for a second.

"You want my blessings?" She looks back at Aleeya.

"Fine. I give you my blessings Aleeya Kingsman, go. Go and wreak havoc."

With determined eyes, Aleeya wipes her tears, looks at her mom, nods then softly hugs her.

"Promise me one thing" Nevada turns to Ash.
"Anything ma'am." He doesn't hesitate.

"Promise me, that no matter what happens, you will always stand by my daughter, you will support her and she will never feel lonely."

Ash nods. "I promise you Mrs Kingsman. I will stand by your daughter no matter what happens, I will support her and will make sure she never feels lonely."


Nevada smiles then softly hugs Ash. "Take care of her, please don't let her lose herself." Ash nods "I will."

Grandma also hugs Ash. "From the moment I met you, I could see it in your eyes, the way you looked at her. Please don't ever stop."

They hug again then Nevada and grandma go join Vinad, Lina and Farah on the seats.

"Hi grandma."
"Shut up Lina." Grandma shuts down Lina's cheerful greeting.

"I am doing the right thing, right?" Nevada tightly holds Vinad's hand with her trembling one, looking into his eyes.

"Of course mom, we just have to support our Leeya and everything will be fine." He assures his mom and they focus back on the wedding.
