The Guy Through My Window

EPILOGUE

AUTHOR's POV;

8 months later.....

Everything appeared bright and radiant to Luke and Judith on their special day. A day that would be remembered for ages, that would be a day just for them. They planned this day like every other couple but the only difference was; they inquired GOD before they formulated their plan.

Hannah zips Judith's wedding gown, tying her hair in an elegant-looking french bun; pulling out a few strands which naturally curled at the corners of her face. 

"Are you ready, sweetpea?" Mr.Williams gently asks peeping into the room.

"Yes Dad, almost," Judith replies trying to satisfy him.

Hannah places the veil on her head, covering her cheerful face," And...It's done." She breaths.

She looks at the stranger in the mirror one final time and rushes out to the church where everyone is gathered. Upon reaching the doorsteps of her church, Mrs. Williams and Hannah gave her a bone-breaking hug which she totally needed. 

She tucks her arm around Mr. Williams as her eyes glance at the gathering occupying the pews of the church.

Luke stands there nervously more like dancing on his shaking feet, fidgeting with his bow which unbearably choked him. Mr. Marcus comes to his rescue; patiently adjusting his bow. 

"Nervous." He asks, raising his eyebrows.

"Very." Luke blurts.

"A small piece of advice, just breathe it out." Mr. Marcus cocked a smile.

He nodded, inhaling deeply. 

Judith grinned delightful, her face moving around like a table fan as she takes small steps behind the bridesmaids.

Luke exhales loudly once his gaze lands on Judith, an awful smile creeps up his face. Judith once spotting him and reading his expression; smiles encouragingly to cheer him. 

Mr.Williams places his daughter's hand into his near-future-son-in-laws hand, patting his shoulders playfully.

They stand together, their fingers interwound, their eyes lost in different shades as they undertake their vows to be a lawfully wedded couple.

"You may kiss the bride." Mr. Joe, the former pastor of the church announced.

Luke lifts up her veil, Judith too flushed to meet his eyes. He raises her chin and plants a tender kiss on her soft lips; and whispers," Mrs. Manchas.

                                                               xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Cheese!" A crowd of people poses for a picture around the new couple.

"Zeb! I didn't know you were such a good photographer." Luke commented making Zebulun shrug.

They pose for another picture but this one was special, it was gonna be nailed on their wall as it was the picture with their best buddies: Leah, Zebulun, Hannah, Ethan, and their daughter Bethel. The poor child was being shifted between the six of us for pictures and she fell asleep in Luke's arm. 

Zebulun approached Luke after a while pulling him to the side. 

"There is somebody waiting for you outside." He said coldly.

Luke stepped out, surprised as to why Zebulun's expression turned dark. He opened the back door to find a couple having similar features as him. He gaped at them in horror and they watched how his beaming face turns into a frown. 

Mr. Marshall closes the gap by embracing him to his heart, Mrs. Marshall stood there sobbing and later cuddled into his arms. Luke felt the act was genuine enough to accept his parent's amends. A silent prayer escaped from his lips; thanking the ALMIGHTY for humbling his parents. 

Luke introduces his parents to everyone like a child glorifying his new gift. He gave Zebulun one of his bro hugs thanking him for making his day even more special. The whole evening turned warm with wishes, presents, flowers, laughter, and the camera tiring the limelight couple to exhaustion. 

But something felt incomplete to Luke and he knew exactly what to fill in. 

It was late evening, early midnight; every being disappeared to their shelter and so did they.

They reached their new home in their decorated car and stood there watching how the house glowed under the dark sky. It was the same house which Luke stayed before but now it was restructured, furnished in their own desires.

Judith slouched on the couch, massaging her burning ankles which stood on the stilettos which she was not accustomed to.

"Are you ready to do something crazy...Mrs. Luke?" 

She paused for a while not knowing what to answer. But seeing the clear excitement dominating the exhaustion on her husband's face she agreed.

Luke drove to the cliff-side, stopping at the developing land of Rosenmud. They climb onto a rock shouting their beloved names to the night, their hearts overwhelmed with joy.

Judith settles down admiring the beautiful moonlight, the twinkling stars, the blinking lights of the city, and her husband's eyes. He holds her face with his palm, tracing his thumb on her chilled cheeks as they pronounce the words they love:

"I love you more than chocolates." Luke started.

"I love you more than pastries." Judith giggled.

"But I love you less than JESUS." They chorused, making them titter.

And finally, their lips met.....

                                                                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She has His Heart and He has Hers, but their hearts belong to 'JESUS'.
