“Do you take him to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?
“I do.”
Hearing her say those two words makes my heart flutter. I still feel nervous since the time she steps in the aisle, seeing her crying happily as she walks towards the altar with her parents with her side makes me cry too.
The church was filled with her favorite flower, red tulips. It was also decorated with her favorite color, blue for she always adore the color of the skies and the seas. She’s stunningly beautiful in her white gown, it makes me love her more.
I can still remember the time when I first saw her. She was third year college and I'm on fourth year. She was always been a beauty, with her long hair, simple clothes and shy smiles. Many boys have been captivated by her innocent face, and I am also one of them. From the start, I know that there’s no hope for her to know my existence. Compared to the boys around her, I’m nothing.
Then there was a time, it was Intramurals when we were, for the first time know each other. I’m shocked to know that we have the same sports, volleyball.
“Hi, I’m Autumn” she said.
“Uh, hello call me Alex” I introduced scratching my head.
I thank God, for I can see her every time they had practice. We have became close for we’ve been playing volleyball together. There were still many guys around her. So I took the courage to confess my feelings to her.
“Autumn, can we talk?”
“Yeah, of course.” She said.
So we walk towards the bench and sat there.
“I just want to confess my feelings for you. Autumn, from the first time I saw you while you walk pass our room, I know that you take a special part of my heart. It may sound cheesy but that’s what I have felt. I know, I should stop this feeling right from the start, but I just can’t. I don’t have the intention to told you this for I am satisfied seeing you everyday as pass by. Not until you joined the volleyball team. I fell for you even more. You were so charming that I cannot resist you. I’m not telling you this so that you will like me back. I’m just telling you this because I cannot hold it anymore. I might explode if I hold back a little bit more. I’m sorry if this might shocked you. Autumn…”
“Alex, why..?”
“I know. I’m sorry."
“No! I mean, why tell me now, if you can tell me sooner. You know, I-I’m hesitant to approach you, I’m afraid to tell you how I feel.”
“Autumn. Now that I know what you feel. Can you be officially mine?”
“Alex.. I would be happy to be yours.”
