She was excited , wearing her makeup and getting into her white
dress. She was preparing herself for the best moment in her life. All the girls
were around her , helping her , talking , singing and even dancing in her room
, and he was on the other side of the room , waiting for her to come out. She
could see his shadow from the glass door
separating between them , he was standing with his back to the room , trying
not to focus or listen to what was going in the room but failing .
She did not need to look at him to feel the love , just being
there , feeling his presence was capable of filling her heart with all the love
in the world. She loved his silence as much he loved her energy , she loved his
black beard as much he loved her green eyes , she loved his smile as much he
adored her laughter.
They have always spoke about that moment , the moment he will
see her in the white dress , the moment where he will hold her hand and walk
with her in front of the whole world , the moment where she will be his and he
will be hers.
Looking more beautiful than ever , she walked towards the door
opened by her cousin and there he was , waiting for her , looking at the ground
, they held hands and started walking under the sounds of the women singing and
clapping.
They got out of the house , followed by friends and family
members , went down the stairs and stood at the door of the building . She
stopped walking , and looked at him , he did not look back , her silence and
patience forced him to look at her , she smiled and so did he , tears came down
from her eyes while he looked back . That was the happiest moment of her life !
The only moment she will be with the guy she fell in love with , the same
moment both of them imagined , the only difference was that it was not their
wedding night , it was hers , getting married to his brother , and his only
duty was to make sure she arrives to the car safely .
Everything happened in seconds , the people did not have a
chance to understand or notice anything . No one noticed that she was in love
with him , no one figured out the strong love between them , and when his
brother proposed , her father agreed and left her no choice to get out of this
marriage , how can she say no to her cousin, how can she say no after her
father agreed , traditions were stronger than any love .
The building's door was opened , the moment was over , now she
is not his and he will never be hers , she looked ten years older , her happy
face turned into a pale one and the excitement in her eyes disappeared .
She got into the car , leaving behind her hopes , dreams and …..
love .
