"THE SECOND CHANCE"
I knew my
self as a good looking man, some had called me handsome. But despite of
physical advantage that I am blessed with, I have nothing to attract a charming
jeweler and make her forget the past.
Its early
morning mist, I watched her walked inside her jewelry shop. She’s wearing faded
jeans with white blouse folded up to her forearms, I desperately wanted to see
her closely, and I’m burning in desire to touch her rosy cheeks. I missed her
so much. But I knew that my change of romance with her couldn’t help, it’s
impossible, hopeless.
I closed the
window of my car and leaned peacefully where I’m seating.
“It was two years ago, and I knew it is the day where all woman in the
world dream about. It was our wedding day. Everything is settled. The ceremony
started when she walked in the aisle towards me. Our family, relatives and
important friends were there. They were smiling and I saw their happy face
looking at my future wife. I felt nervous and started to ask if I’m really
ready for the marriage which was about to start. Looking at my future wife,
nervousness had slowly seized me. I couldn't even help my self from sweating,
my hands is cold. The priest spoke “Peter Parker do you take Yumie as your
wife, for richer or poorer and in sickness and in health everyone waited for my
answer, there was deafening silence. I couldn't. It seemed like I was petrified and words wont
come out to my mouth. Seconds after, the priest repeated his question. This
time, I have decided. I haven’t thought of anything, of the consequences, of
other people judgment. “Come what may” I spoke to myself. Yumie’s eyes gazed at
me confusedly. The priest seemed to be impatient now. I heard the people at my
back murmuring. And so I did the biggest mistake of being a man. I ran without
looking back. I reached the church entrance and went running until I couldn't see even a glimpse of them.”
I turned to the closed window of
my car where I could see the jewelry shop of Yumie and I wished that she will
gave me another chance tomorrow. I sigh; I revive the engine of my car and
drove back home.
Next day!
It’s her birthday today and I
already talked to Leah, her assistant about my planned this evening.
Everything is in the right place,
the entire shop is scattered with petals, and the jewelries are pinned to their
places. The red carpet in the entrance is extended up to the table, where
there’s a three cute shaped heart candles which is enough to light the entire
table.
I had Leah at 7’o’clock in the
evening to call Yumie and tell to her that she was in the jewelry shop and she
needed help.
I’m wearing a black suit, that I
know helped my skin to be lighten, I stand up next to the table, I pray hard
and begged to almighty god, that Yumie will give me a chance. One chance to prove her how much I love her
that I regret every single day of the day since I left her at the church
without looking back. I knew I gave her so much pain to her heart, but tonight
I’m totally motivated to have her back again, I don't want to regret in my whole
life, I’ll beg for her.
I saw her walking to the entrance
with the help of the light outside. I felt nervous as I heard her voice and
called Leah. She could see the candles on the table. The next thing I heard is
her steps coming forward to me. She stopped as the light in the center turned
on. I had Leah to turn it on.
I saw Yumie near enough for me to see
how her emotions affect her when she saw me. I can’t really identify
specifically what kind of emotion she’s having right now.
She’s wearing a purple cocktail dress
that made her more gorgeous as ever, I walked the distance between us, while
our eyes locked to each other, I hugged her and whisper to her that I badly,
madly, truly, deeply and desperately missed her so much. Seconds when she
doesn’t even hug me back, she walked to the table and sipped the wine from the
glass. I followed her and tell her “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” I offer her a seat and I’m
so thankful that she accepts it. She smirked at me and sits.
I don’t know if it’s a sign of loss
or a chance to prove to her myself again. I also sit on my chair. And handed
her the bouquet of mixed white and red roses, she accepted the bouquet and say
thank you. I started my words. “First of all, I’m sorry. I was not there, when
you needed me most. You don’t know how I wanted to hug you and wipe your tears
away when your parents had a plane crashed that made them leave you alone. I’m sorry
but please I swear to god I won’t leave you anymore please forgive me. I
regretted every single seconds I breathe because I’m not with you." Yumie just
stared at me with mixed emotions drawn to her face and eyes. She did not answer
me. I walked to her chair and kneel down to her and grabbed her hands and
kissed them. I cleared my throat and spoke again; I get the ring to my pocket
and asked her, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Seconds after she don’t answer me again but
command me to stand up instead. “I won’t stand up her not until you’ll say yes
to me” I said. My eyes started to watered I felt no hope but no I won’t lose
hope I’ll beg for her. "Please Yumie owner of this Jewelry shop, the beautiful
gem of my eyes say yes and agreed to marry me in all the church in the world.”
I stated again.
“You fool” she said. Her eyes also
watered with tears and I wipe them immediately still kneeling. “Just say yes” I
said “For heaven sake shut up Peter and get up” she help helped me to stand up
and hugged me and whisper “ Yes I will marry You Peter Parker” I hugged her
tightly and made my self satisfied. I missed her so much, and if I die tonight
I won’t bring any regret to my grave.
The End :) - Mushiimoo17th<3
