Chapter 31: Chapter 31
A few days have passed, Alex and Precious are busy preparing for their wedding. From choosing their wedding ceremony decorations to wedding dresses and invited guests.
Precious paused while looking at one invitation that was still empty. Actually she really wanted to invite someone but she was hesitant to give it. Until the invitation is still empty without the recipient's name.
"Have you decided who to invite?" Alex asked
"Um, nothing. You take care of this invitation. " Said Precious then walked and stood in front of the window looking at the busy road
Alex took the invitation, then he approached Precious and hugged his future wife from behind. Alex was so happy that he smiled broadly, all of this felt like a dream to him even though Precious was now in his arms.
"Finally, next Sunday will be the happiest day of my life. Thank you for accepting me who lacks this much. I promise I will always make you happy. " Said Alex
Precious also held and rubbed Alex's hand which wrapped around her waist. She then closed her eyes and felt the warm hug with her whole body. Precious smiled thinly because she was also very happy waiting for a wedding that would soon happen.
Imagine them walking on the aisle together, their smiling faces happy and beautiful days that await them in the future. Imagining all that, they both smiled broadly and drifted in hopes of happiness.
Everything that used to be just wishful thinking and empty dreams now turn into reality. Hold your hand and say you belong to me. Happiness that I didn't dare to wish for, now all of that comes true.
Love that has been buried deep and continues to grow over time, can finally be conveyed. I will protect this happiness and I will not let this happiness end. I love you so much.

A very beautifully decorated and luxurious wedding hall with white roses adorns every corner of the room. A happy smile broke out on the faces of the guests invited to the wedding of Alex and Precious.
Some whispered happily while saying their distrust was Precious married Alex and some were jealous of Precious who succeeded in capturing the heart of Alex, a heir to a well-known company AD Group. Even so, everyone awaits the wedding couple with smiles on their faces and hopes that the bride and groom will be happy.
Meanwhile Precious who has dressed up beautifully by wearing a very beautiful wedding dress felt nervous that she could not sit still in the bride's waiting room. Her heart was beating fast waiting for the wedding ceremony which will soon begin.
When Precious was overcome with nervousness and worry, she was shocked by her mother entering her room. Precious smiled broadly because she was very happy to see her mother walking toward her wearing a beautiful dress that she had not worn for a long time.
Precious immediately hugged her mother because she was very happy. Seeing her mother who had been lying in the hospital walking in front of her and wearing a dress instead of the patient's uniform made Precious cry because she was very happy.
"Mom, I'm very glad you came. I thought you wouldn't be able to come ... "said Precious
"How can I let you ride the aisle alone. Mother must hold your hand and bring you to the groom. There's no way I will spend the happiest day of your life. " Said Precious mom
The mother and daughter cried happily when they embraced and then they wiped away tears from each other's cheeks. Their eyes are filled with overflowing love, a love that overflows when a mother releases their daughter to live a married life and hand over their daughter to someone else. A sincere love that can be seen in all mothers whose daughters will marry soon.
They looked at each other then smiled happily. Even though no words were said but their eyes had conveyed everything. Sincere affection conveyed without the need for beautiful words to convey. Smiles and stares are enough for them to understand each other's feelings
" wipe your tears. It's a happy day, don't cry and ruin your makeup. " Said Precious mom while wiping away her daughter's tears that were flowing
"It's time, let's meet the groom." Said Precious mom
Precious took a deep breath and held her mother's hand. The door opened and the wedding accompaniment echoed throughout the room. Step by step Precious walked on the aisle with her mother who accompanied her while holding her hand tightly.
Alex, who was already standing in front of the priest, looked at Precious with a big smile. Along with beautiful wedding songs, their distance is getting closer. Finally they looked at each other and Alex accepted Precious hand given by Precious mom.
They smiled when their eyes looked at each other deeply. The song ended and a quiet atmosphere filled the room. All eyes are on the bride and groom who are ready to take the oath of marriage.
The priest opened the Bible and led the marriage oath. After saying the marriage vows that were witnessed by everyone, finally Alex and Precious officially became husband and wife. The ceremony was closed with a kiss which was immediately greeted by a standing ovation from all invited guests.
Not feel the sun has set and replaced by the moon and stars that adorn the night sky. Like the tradition of marriage which is carried out in general. Wedding night became a very lively party. Guests dance and enjoy the food and drinks served at each table.
One very important tradition on the night of the wedding is congratulations from friends and relatives. Starting from a friend from high school who congratulated him then a colleague to the parents of the bride and groom. Then the bride and groom turn to say a word or two to convey.
"Today I want to thank my wife who is very beautiful. Everyone here must know how I love her and chase her for many years. I was a coward who didn't even dare to dream that this day would come. But she gave that dream to me. Thank you for accepting this lame and cowardly person. " Said Alex, staring at Precious lovingly
Then it was time for Precious's turn. All eyes are on Precious who is standing on the podium. Her beauty that shines brightly seized everyone's attention. Precious was nervous but seeing Alex made her remember everything Alex had done for her and Alex's eyes that looked at her sincerely and lovingly made Precious very calm.
The crowd was lonely and everyone who was staring at her began to be invisible. The only thing she could see was Alex, who was standing and staring at her. Precious smiled and her nervousness disappeared completely.
"Thank you for accepting me. Unlike other people who see my perfect side, you've seen it all. My weakness and bad side of me but you still take my hand. Even though I'm full of flaws but you still love me. Thank you for giving me a chance to be happy. " Said Precious
