Emir And Feriha - The Journey Continues

Part 8

Emir had planned a romantic dinner for feriha. He had decorated the place where they got married the first time. That place had a special place in their heart. The table with benches were surrounded by tall trees and the garden was well maintained. There were hedges grown around the area thus separating the sitting area from the big garden which was a step below.
Emir had illuminated the hedges with flower shaped fairy lights. The flowers brightly peeped out of the hedges. Several lanterns were hanging from the leaning branches of the trees. Around the table four shepherd's crooks were gathered and the lanterns hung from it too. The lanterns threw their light into the darkness of night. The patio was a medley of brightness and darkness.
The moon was peeking through the leaves of the tall trees; its brightness lit the leaves silvery. The table was covered with white table cloth and the triangular corner loosely dangling on the side. In a small off white lazzaro tea light was lit.
Emir gave one last look to the place, satisfied that everything was like he had planned he went inside to find feriha. Feriha was in the bedroom changing into white evening gown. Emir stood at the door admiring her. Feriha noticed Emir waiting at the door, "what are you looking at Emir?"
"you"
"me, don't do that"
"why"
"I can't do what I want to do"
Emir smiled and asked "are you ready?"
Feriha straightened her dress and said "ready. Now tell me where do we go"
Emir held her hand and said "come...come with me"
He took her to the door. At the door he asked her to close her eyes " feriha complied yet wondering what Emir had planned. He had not let her get out of the house since late afternoon. She was not allowed to look outside. Emir opened the door and guided her through the steps with his hands. Once down he asked her to open her eyes, feriha opened her eyes, blinking few seconds to adjust to the light outside and then she stood their dumbfounded. Emir had surprised her, she was taken off her feet. This was the most beautiful night she had seen. Emir was delighted to see feriha's happiness. She was glancing around excitedly and back at Emir. Emir asked "liked it"
"very much "answered feriha "I don't have words"
He pulled her to the bench and prodded her to sit.  They both looked into each other's eyes, Emir quietly held ferihas hands and patted it lightly "I love to see you smile like this" "you worked all the day for this" glancing around and appreciating the place.
"you deserve this. you deserve to be the happy"
Feriha's eyes moistened "this place where we got married" and she moved her hand softly over the table. He looked at her longingly "that was the most beautiful day of my life feriha sarrafoglu. You entered into my life"
"Emir, you entered into my life. It was me who couldn't keep my promise, but today I promise you, no matter what I will never break this promise. I will stay with you through thick and thin of the life"
"I promise to stay with you and love you all my life feriha sarrafoglu. I love you"
"I love  you too Emir sarrafoglu"
