Marriage

Topic : Marriage

'You may now kiss the bride,' , preached the priest. As the feel of his soft plumpy lips connected into mine, packaged with his firm muscular arms wrapped around me possessively as though I was his life, I felt the World just consisted of only me and him. Fireworks started appearing in my mind, and I inwardly wondered what did I do to deserve him. The loud cheering of the guests broke my thoughts as I looked up at David with sparkles in my eyes, accompanied by the tug I felt in my heart with the soft appreciated look he gladly returned me. Tears of joy formed in colony in my eyes as I finally detached myself away from the past, fighting away the memories of it haunting me.

Two years ago, my family was plagued by the downfall of the mining industry. My father's job in there was what was keeping us alive. Being the breadwinner of our family, our family was practically doomed as we lived in the society whereby no one with a diploma or degree would be the first choice in being hired. ' Maya.. we will always love you. ' , was the sole sentence that kept replaying repeatedly in my mind after I was sold to the Fiori family to marry the heir. The Fioris were one of the most richest and most influential family in the states. Up till today, I still did not believe that my family would sell me away for that small amount of money. I remembered vividly how I shook my head in disgust after hearing that sentence coming out of my Mother's mouth. Which parents in the right loving mind would sell away their daughter in times of crisis?

It turned out that I was sold to the Fiori family to get engaged and marry their deranged Son. As their maid practically dragged me to the Fiori's heir room, I was more then just afraid on what was about to happen next. I was thrown to the white marbled ground with a loud thump echoing throughout the room. I hesitantly looked up as I made out a silhouette at the full-length window. My heart was practically in my mouth as he turned around, making me came face to face with the most beautiful face I had ever seen. Never ever judge a book by its cover. As he slowly walked towards me, I backed away as I sensed the dark and evil aura coming out of his body, matched by the sinister smile he had plastered on his face. In a split second, he softly caressed the features of my face, accompanied by a shocking slap across my face. I cowered in fear as I whimpered, palming my stinging cheeks with my delicate hand.  He came so close to me that I scrunched my nose, taking in the smell of cigarettes and liquor that lingered in his breath. He balled his fist as he punched me across the side of my cheeks which he had slapped earlier, causing blood to gush out of my nose and blood to trickle out of the side of my mouth. ' You are mine. ' , was all I made out what he was bellowing out in a string of profanities. As I slowly lose conscious, all the suicidal thoughts went through my mind thinking about having to marry this violent guy and stick with him for life.

I shivered with the gentle touch of David on my flushed red cheeks. Trying to push back all the flashbacks I had, I smiled broadly to myself. I managed to escape from the Fiori family by taking my chance and jumping off the three-storied mansion, not to forget breaking my arm in the progress of it all. I remembered limping to the nearest hospital and collapsing right in front of the doorstep,vaguely remembering a pair of strong arms wrapped around me as I felt myself lifted up carefully like as though I was made of glass. I whiffed in the smell of cologne before I was whipped unconscious. David was the one that tended to my injuries, listened to me attentively and lending me his shoulders whenever I broke down thinking about it.

Taking in the familiar scent, I pushed back all the memories that once haunted me. The fact that my family sold me away, the fact that I almost married a deranged and abusive man. As I shyly glanced at David that stood before me, still a little unbelieving that I was actually being married to this angel. I was overwhelmed by the fact that I was the luckiest woman on Earth. As I pecked his cheek, I softly whispered to him ' Thank you. '
