Loving Her in Shadow || liskook

Epilogue

Serephina's POV

I am now crying. Crying for the nth time. I hate this feeling so much!

Today is the day, he's going to propose to me.

Dad, gave me an elegant dress and I wore it. It really fits and suits me.

My dress, my make up, my hair, my face, my shoes, and my accessories really looks excited.

But my heart is not.

Dad, took me at the venue where there's a big event. Throw off party, I think. Throw off party of Nathan's mother.

Nathan also hates dad to be his new dad, but because he likes me, he accepted dad.

Foolish.

I walked inside with my dad at my left. Many, captured a picture of me, of us and many greeted. I just smiled but inside my heart is a dark cage.

We're just eating when I saw there, Christian, Grey, and Priya also eating.

"Priya!"

"Partner! Thank you for your dad inviting me here!"

"Your welcome. Wait, it's only the three of you?"

"Rage went somewhere, but he said he'll be back. Why? Miss him?" Grey foolishly asked.

"Tss. Good bye!" I waved at them.

I can't help but to think of Rage. I broke his heart a lot. And my conscience keeps whispering at me. Argh!

I'm really sorry, Rage.

I'm eating with Priya and Nathan's friend when the lights turned off.

A spot light turned on the stage, spotting Nathan. He's really handsome.

But then, a spot light turned on again, spotting me.

I think, I already know what will happen.

Nathan walked towards me and despite of the lights turned off, I spotted Rage. Looking at us, watching Nathan as he knelt down his knee in front if me.

I can hear Priya's gasps and Christian and Grey's comments.

He gave me a so sweet speech with his knees knelt down.

"Yes, I'm a coward. But now, I'll be strong. Strong to say this words to you."

"N-nathan." I acted surprised.

"Will you, Serephina Peterson, marry me?"

I glanced at Rage's hopeless eyes.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm very sorry.

Nathan.

I listened 3/4 to my heart and 1/4 to my mind. And this is mt decision.

"I'm sorry Nathan, but no." I said and ran towards Rage. He approached me with his warm hugs.

"I love you, Rayna Serephina Peterson."

"I love you too, Rage Maxwell Quinn."

"Congratulations, babies!" I was shocked when I heard mommy's voice.

He suddenly gave me a paper.

"What is this?" I asked and opened it. It is a poem.

She's beautiful.
