Await at the Aisle

Awaits at the Aisle

My eyes are glued at the door as it is opened slowly. I've been waiting for this day to come.

I know it's going to be the most memorable moment.

My lips curved an inch as I saw her stepped inside the door, wearing the white gown she always dreamed of. The veil that covers her face did not even lessen her beauty. Her face that looks innocent and sweet makes me remember more the memories we've shared together.

'Who would have thought that after everything we've been through, in the end, we will still find each other in the church?' I chuckled in my mind on that thought.

For a woman, there are two greatest dreams she could ever have. First, is to stand in front of the altar to make vows with the man she loves. Second, is to become a mother of her children.

She starts to walk on the aisle...

The first dream is about to be granted.

Her eyes are twinkling like stars in the night as she looks where the aisle leads her.

And for a second, my heart skipped its beat when she shifted her eyes on mine.

I also feel now the same feeling I always had whenever our eyes met before. The sensation that I cannot explain well yet all I knew is that, I would not mind if I will feel it again and again.

She nods and smiles at me. I smiled back.

***Flashback***

I unconsciously agreed to my best friend, Cushi Tamar, when he invited me to go in their church.

I am not a religious person, I admit. But I am not also ignorant to this kind of Christian church, though it was actually my first time to visit here.

At first, I wondered why when I entered the church, people are already reaching my hands to greet me. They are all welcoming me and it makes me irritated, but Cushi said it's normal here to shake each other's hands before entering so I just ride on.  

"I belong to You
Jesus my first love
Your everything I'm living for
Your the joy I know the treasure I hold dear
I burn for You
My eternal love~"

I was interrupt in the middle of shaking their hands when I heard the unfamiliar voice who sings somewhere in this place.

Cushi then lead me in a simple room where all I can see are seats and a pulpit in front, or rather the altar I guess. 

I move on a vacant seat at the third column. The people are standing while lifting their hands and sing. It is different from the typical church that I used to know. 

"Take my life, join me forever with you
Make our heart as one
Perfect love
driving away all my fear
Freedom I've found~"

I swift my eyes where that voice is coming from, and it leads me to the altar.

I was astonished.

She sounds like an angel singing from heaven. Her eyes are closed but it is visible that she sings from her heart.

I close my eyes.

I know that everyone, including myself, has the same feeling of being carried by clouds above.

"You're the joy I know
The treasure I hold dear
I burn for you
My eternal love~"

I was just back to my sense when I felt a small amount of water dropped on my cheeks. I swipe it and realize, it was my tears.
