The Last Yes

Blogging A2Z Challenge 1 Minute

She remembered a similar morning a long time ago. Or had it really been just a few years ago when she had stood at the exact same venue?

Everything seemed to be the same today too. A morning filled with hope, cheer, excitement – moisture laden clouds dotting the sky, a cool breeze spreading a paradise-like vibe – it was all the same. Yet something was different. Or was it just her who felt so.

But then, he had said yes, hadn’t he? Yes – the key to a thousand questions, a million dreams, and the promise of a lifetime of togetherness.

A sharp clearing of someone’s throat brought her back to the present.

‘I’m sorry?’ Aruna looked up, her eyes betraying no emotion.

‘Do you agree that you both –‘ The pastor began to repeat his question.

‘Yes.’

The pastor smiled. ‘Alright, then. I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.’

A relieved Aruna stepped out of the church into torrential rain – an exact replay of events and emotions from a few years ago. Only now, she had chosen to say yes and become someone’s wife instead.

    1. True. And also, saying no too late or saying it when you should have said yes instead can be equally damaging. 🙂 Aruna has been down the aisle earlier too, but she said no at the last moment and ended up hurting everyone. Being fickle-minded was her flaw until she realized her mistake and corrected it. It’s important to be happy in the current moment rather than keep waiting for that elusive happily ever after. Now everyone, including Aruna, is living happily right now. 😀 Thanks for reading and commenting.
