Our Seasons

Fifth Season

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are the 4 seasons. Each of them have unique characteristics that makes them so pretty. Spring symbolizes new beginning and new life. Summer symbolizes freedom and growth. Autumn symbolizes beauty and maturity. Winter symbolizes pain and loneliness.

Many seasons have passed and we still stay together. He never leave my side even at my darkest times. He's the only one who understands and keeps on understanding me. He gives me strength when I'm weak. I don't know what to do without him.

I'm standing in front of the mirror and there I glance myself. I never knew that I would feel this kind of happiness and excitement in my life. My feelings are overflowing right now.

"Ma'am, it's already time"

A girl in a formal attire said to me. I nodded at her and follow her. She stopped at the big door and opened it. She signals me to walk in the aisle which I did. There I saw Xian at the end of the aisle waiting for me. With a long white gown, a bouquet of flowers on my hands, and a white veil on my head I walk slowly on the aisle.

I can't help but to reminisce our first seasons together. It was a new experience to me but it was fun. He taught me many things, especially to open the door that was shut a long time ago.

They say people meet for a reason. It is either to teach them a lesson or to help them grow as a person. In my case, he came to my life as to serve as a light in my dark world. He came to accompany me in this lonely world and bring colors to it. He made me feel that I'm a worthy person. That I'm being loved.

He made me feel again the wonder of this world, he made me feel again the 4 beautiful seasons of life. He changed me and brings out a new version of me. A better version of me.

After the ceremony, I faced him and look deep down on his brown eyes.

"Why me?"

I asked. He smiled at me and hold both of my hands real tight.

"There is no reason to love someone. You don't need a reason to love someone because if you do have then it is not love, it is attraction. Because if you love someone, you'll accept for what he or she is with a whole heart. A right love is a love that comes automatically in a right time and in a right person. You'll only know that he or she is already the one if you can already see your future with that person and you know to yourself what you feel towards that person and you're sure of it. And for me, it is you."

He said and kissed me.

We met in spring, fell in love in summer, confessed in autumn, together in winter, and now we became one in the season of love. A fifth season where a mysterious flower fully blooms prettily inside of two people. A season that no one knew about but, a season that anyone can feel with a right person beside them. A season that requires REAL and TRUE LOVE.
