CHAPTER FORTY TWO
Walking in the aisle with the song of Love To Be Loved By You by Marc Terenz while your soon-to-be husband is waiting is one of the best scenarios and feelings ever. You know in just a few minutes that the person you love is completely yours. You can completely take his last name. He will be a complete part of your life and a companion for the rest of your life.
I couldn’t help but sigh as I walked toward Wallace who was waiting for me at the altar while wearing a blue tuxedo. Dylan, his best man tapped his shoulder when Wallace wiped his tears. He even looked up then looked at me and smiled and at the same time, we looked at Ace who was carrying Daze while sleeping.
I can’t explain how happy I am right now. In my whole life, Only now have I really won. Now I just really enjoyed my trophy and that is Ace. Now I just experienced being really happy. Not because I made my Parents happy but because I did what I wanted. Joy, without doubt, joy without fear, without negativity. I’m glad it’s just all positive.
I am a successful daughter, a proud sister, an adviser friend, but a lonely woman back then. A woman that seeks true love and acceptance. A woman that wanted to feel special to her man. A woman who laughs with everyone but cries alone because I can’t show them what I really feel. But now, I am me, a woman with everything. A truly happy.
I’ve been wanting this to happen. To be with the man dear that none other than Wallace. The time I wished it would have come and now here it is. I am walking in the aisle while he is waiting for me. I really want to slap myself to find out if it’s real or just a dream. And if it was just a dream I want to sleep forever.
My tears flowed one after another as I approached him. I remember how we came into this and passed all the pain that we’ve been through. How we started because of the call of the flesh that the truth is that we both feel love. How we overcame Dylan’s anger. My Parent’s disappointment. His pride and ego. All I thought was someone else who would be Family.
Mom and dad greeted me in the middle. I know they are happy for me too. Though they are not that showy about their feelings I know they love me. Now, that I am a mother of a girl I can say that I have understood why they are so protective of me. Maybe I’ll be the same with Ace but I’ll just change a little bit —- let her be free in her decisions and make mistakes to learn but even so I’m still behind her.
“You’re really beautiful, you inherit from me.”
“Thanks, mom.”
“I am happy for you, Diana Dane, you deserved all of this.” Dad kisses me on the forehead.
“Dad,” I cried calling his name. Though I have already apologized for my mistake as a child it is still inevitable that I will be emotional now that I will have my own family.
“You deserve this my eldest, after all the sacrifices and pride you brought to our Family. This is the prize that you deserve. This is your true reward. To be a good wife and a good mother.” I cried even more at what daddy said but he wiped my tears. “Let’s go, your man is waiting for you.”
They both walked beside me and bring me to Wallace.
“Please take care of our daughter, Wallace,” Mom said.
“I will, mom,”
“Wallace, I will give you my daughter’s hand for you to take care of. As a father, I am begging you to please love her and protect her with Ace. You are her happiness, please make her happy.”
“You don’t need to beg nor to ask me to love your daughter, dad. Because the first time I laid my eyes on her, I already love her. And I will protect her and Ace at any cost.”
“Thanks, thank you so much.” When Wallace received my hands, Dylan spoke.
“I know you will take care of my sister, Wallace. All I can say is good luck.” He even tapped Wallace’s shoulder.
Wallace took my hand and we walks near to the priest.
“Are you happy?” he whispered.
“I am, my joy is unbounded.”
“Me, too. Thank you for everything, Diana. With love, understanding, and waiting.” I just give him a smile until the priest started.
We didn’t make exchange vows because it was enough for us to hear our promise to each other. We just follow what the priest said. We both believe that our promises are for both of us only. They are witnesses to our solitude, but our vows and promises belong to us. Until the priest announced that my groom can kiss me.
“I love you, Diana, I love you so damn much!”
“I love you more, Wallace.” And everyone scream and clap when Wallace and I sealed our marriage with our first kiss as a husband and wife.
I FEEL Wallace’s arms around my waist. Then he sat beside me while looking at Ace who is now breastfeeding and staring at his father. We are still here at the reception and everyone is having fun.
“If Ace wasn’t my daughter, I would have been jealous of her. Can I follow after her? I’ve been jealous since earlier.”
“Wallace,” I scolded.
“Ace, enough, don’t drink all and give some to daddy. Let’s share baby.” But Ace shook her head and even bit my nipples. Fortunately, his daddy used to bite me, otherwise, I might have been screaming. She’s nine months now and she’s already doing a lot of awkward things.
“Wallace?”
“Yes?”
“Are you happy that I am your wife? That we married?”
“Don’t ask the fucking obvious, Diana. I can’t fucking describe my fucking feeling right now. Why, aren’t you?”
“So happy. This is the dream that I always dreamed of. This is all I wanted to happen in my love life, with you, to be your wife, to be the mother of your child.”
“I dreamed the same, Diana.”
“Wallace, I know we always say this to each other, almost every day, minute by minute. But I will never tire of saying that I love you. I love you.” He clasps my face and kisses me.
“I also won’t get tired of listening to you say that over and over again. I am so blessed to have you, Diana. Sometimes I ask myself what I have done and you are my reward. I am so damn blessed to have you.” Wallace kissed me on the forehead and then looked at Ace.
“And you young girl, why haven’t you left yet? I am getting jealous,” He said with a frown. Ace smiled and pulled my nipple then moved his head.
“Ouch! Ace,” I scolded.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
“Yeah, a little.”
“Ace, don’t hurt mommy. Later, that won’t be able to withstand the honeymoon.”
“Wallace, stop. Ace can understand it.”
“Sorry,”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Wallace?” I called when I noticed he was just staring at me. “Hey!”
“Fuck, are we really married? This isn’t a dream, right?”
“Nope, Wallace, I’ll prove it later on the honeymoon.”
“Come on, prove it.” He was about to stand up for me when Ace suddenly cried.
“Oh, stop flirting first,”
“She has reason to cry because she will be having siblings after the honeymoon.” Ace’s cries got louder. “Just a joke, Ace, daddy is just kidding.” Ace suddenly stopped and soon fell asleep.
“Silly daughter —– Wallace.”
“Hmph?” I leaned my head on his shoulder and he did the same. “I know what you want. Let us stay like this and enjoy the moment.”
It’s like yesterday I’ve been chasing Wallace but now I’m his wife and we have a child. I swear, I will do my best effort for my husband and daughter. I have never failed in my entire life. I always won in every battle. I am the first in everything. I never lost in a fight. And now that I have a family. The more I will do everything I can just to win the title of good mother and a good wife.
I will do everything for them. They will be my priority.
“I will do everything to make you happy, Wallace.”
“I will do my best to protect and make you happy as well, my irresistible wife.” We face each other and kiss. “But I can’t wait to fuck you tonight.” It looks like it will really fight me. Fortunately, he said romantic, sensual sex for the honeymoon.
