Chapter 16 : Who Cut Some Onions?

=======================================================

(Kindly play the video while you're reading this)

After a 15 minute drive, we finally reached our destination. We are on the top of the hill over looking a lake. Hannah said that the motif was a sunset one, and I think it's a fitting location.

"The place is wonderful," Johnny said

"Yes. Very soothing and peaceful. Nice ambiance," I replied

"Take a look at the venue more. I'm sure you'll enjoy it," Hannah said and we do.

We explored the place. I walked along the aisle, with a red carpet and white petals on it in between the chairs and made my way through the altar with a big white arc. I saw Johnny sitting in the chair and he is thinking about something.

The motif was wonderful. There were big trees with colorful lights hanging there and turned on. The altar was overlooking the lake, perfect for the motif. I can feel the breeze. I can also hear the sound of the lake. I closed my eyes and enjoyed this peace.

=======================================================

I sat on the chair while I look on Timmy walking down the aisle. Somehow, I felt happy. Planning the wedding gave me some hope that maybe we could go through it and I can have Timmy for me for the rest of our lives. I sat there, looking at the love of my life walking, looking more beautiful in my eyes every single day.

He stopped at the arc, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The night was dark, but there were few stars above. I made my way and stand next to him and watch him close. He felt my presence cause he opened his eyes only to see me staring at him.

"What?" He asked.

I looked at those beautiful eyes that took my breath away.

I wish that I could see those beautiful eyes every morning when I wake up and stare at them until I fell asleep at night.

I just shook my head and smiled. He turned to look up at the sky only to see few stars.

"You know what, a sunset wedding is nice," I said trying to get his attention.

"Yeah, I think so too," he replied. He looked down on his feet and silence came next.

Timmy took a deep breath and turned to look at me.

"Johnny," he said. I've seen his eyes were full of worry.

I felt something was wrong...

"I think... we should tell everybody about this," he said nervously

My heart starts to break cause I understand what he meant.

"What 'this'?" I played dumb.

No, please, Timmy. Don't.

"This... pretending..." Timmy said. I felt his sadness when he said those words. I heard him cleared his throat and look on his shoes again,

"I think... we went too far with this. I think... we should stop this before we hurt other people," he then looked at me and I hope that he can see it through my eyes... that I am sad.

Don't you think you're hurting me with this, Timmy? Please, stop...

"You've been there for me. You were a great... friend. I hope that after this, we could still be... friends," he continued.

The word friend stings me. It kept me silenced for a while. He looked up on me and I knew he sees it in my eyes. I have mix emotions right now. I am angry, confuse and sad.

He decided to leave. He turned around to walk away from me and I grasped his wrist.

"No." I said

He looks at me confused.

"We could never be friends," I said. I saw Timmy's reaction. He was sad. I can also see his tears clouding up his eyes.

Did he just think I don't like him? I asked myself.

"We could never be friends, cause we are meant to be together,"

"What?" Timmy asked

"I.. I love you Timmy," I said

"No. Johnny. You already love someone. You are in love with Ginny, right?"

"There's no Ginny, Timmy. She was you. I made it up. Believe me,"

Timmy was silent. I am nervous because he didn't even say a thing and just stares at me.

"Timmy?" I asked

He didn't answer but he hugged me tight and he starts to cry. I am confused but I held him close. The only sound I can hear was his sobs and sometimes, the crickets. After a few minutes, Timmy stopped crying and pulled away from me. I brushed his tears with my thumb.

"I..." Timmy seems lost for words to say. His eyes were now red and so was his cheeks.

"You know what? You're still perfect even when you cry," I whispered.

Timmy just smile at me while a few tears escaped his eyes.

"I am very sorry, Tim," I said. I said those words because I hate to see him cry and hurt.

"What are you sorry for?" Timmy asked

I smiled at him sadly and I pinched his cheek.

"I know you didn't feel the same. I know it wasn't supposed to happen. I mean... you are cute, intelligent, adorable, and me? I am nothing. I know that..." I said but he cuts me off

"Johnny...."

"Let me finish first, Tim. I am weird. I am not even attractive. I understand if you can't see anything on me. No one would like me..."

"Johnny..."

"I understand. I'll keep my distance but I don't know. I am truly deeply in love with you. I really can't just pretend you're not..."

I didn't even finish what I am confessing because Timmy cuts me off by pressing his lips into mine.

=======================================================

Johnny was rambling some stupid remarks. I want to stop him from saying something that's not true. I feel the same way for him. He was perfect and as he was also gorgeous.

I wrapped my hands in his neck while Johnny's hands were in my waist. We shared a kiss that was so passionate and full of love.

"I love you too," I said

Johnny grinned from ear to ear. He pecked my lips and starts to spin me around. I just laugh at his actions.

"Can you say it again?" He asked

I smiled and kissed his lips.

"I love you," I whispered

We were lost in each others eyes. Everything felt perfect. The lights hanging from the trees, the big white arc, the red carpet with white petals... it seems that those things make this moment special.

I never knew I could find love when I least expected it. Love was here with me right now, standing and staring in front of me, while we exchange the three words that we wanted to hear for all of our days to come.
