Not to Wed (On Hold✋)

"Do you, Alicia, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the priest said as the people from behind awaited for my answer

A very simple answer but most crucial of all.

"Alicia, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" he repeat

I feel I'm on the brink of fainting and running out of this altar when my eyes came across with the man I'm marrying today.

He's wearing a black tuxedo with a full bloomed red rose on his lapel. He's looking straight at me with his coldest stare. He doesn't look bothered even if I oppose on marrying him.

We shared a moment of staring directly to each other when he withdraw his and look straight through the huge cross carrying Jesus.

Since the start of this scandal, I know there will be no escape for me.

So what's the fear?

If you already know where will you heading?

"Y-yes, I do..." tasting the blood from my lip as I bite it after I utter those bitter words

Yes... I should do.
