The Light In Darkness (last part)

THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS

*sorry for the late update... im so busy lately...and my trial just around the corner...sorry*

The next few days, he still hasn’t wake up yet. I came and sat beside him, hoping for him to wake up. I held his hands, and kissed his forehead gently.

“Please, wake up… I know you can hear me.”

A few hours past, I fell asleep besides him, and that’s where the miracle happens. He suddenly woke up. Leon seems confused for a while.

Where am I? How can I end up here? Then he felt a hand on his chest, he slowly strokes my hair. I immediately woke up!

“Leon! You’re awake, finally!” I said with tears fell down, happy. I quickly called the nurses and doctor. They came in and checked him.

“Well Mr. Kennedy, how impressive! You’ve such a high spirit to recover. I’m so impressed with you.”

“That’s because my source of life is always beside me,” he said. I pinched his arm.

“You’re a little rascal” and I hugged him.

“I love you too…” he whispered to me, and my tears flow again.

The next day, I came to visit him again. His friends are all there, Steve, Barry, Ada, Hunnigan, Claire and Chris.

“Hey Leon! How’re you feeling today?”

“Much better!”

Then, Steve’s interfering our conversation.

“Guess our mister Kennedy has something to tell ya.”

Leon went furious and smacks Steve’s head with his fist, hard.

“Ouch! What was that for?”

“You’re spoiling everything!”

“What? I’m just wanna help ya!”

I was confused. What are they talking about? I was unpacking the foods I brought for him that time. Leon woke up from his bed and slowly walks to me, with Steve’s help, of course. He was holding something on his hand. What is he up to? Suddenly he knelt in front of me. I was shocked.

“Jasmine, all this while, I’ve been thinking… will…will you, be my wife?”

I was shocked and almost dropped the flask. Is he seriously wanted to take me as his wife? His friends started to make a sound….

“woohoo! You go man!

“That’s my man!”

“Just accept it!”

I looked at him. He looks nervous, and he’s sweating, hard. Leon’s knees started to shake. I smiled to him, and leaned my hand to him.

“I do…”

And all his friends cheering for us, till the head nurse came in.

“Keep quiet or I’ll kick your asses’ outta here!”

And they all went silent, pretending like there’s nothing happen.

Leon stands up, and wanted to kiss me, but Barry and Steve pulled him away from me.

“Oh no, you’ll have to wait from kissing your future-wife-to-be for now. Your mouth stinks like hell right now!” Steve’s said.

“What? Awww come on man!”

“No means no!”Barry said.

I giggled watching their antics.

“Yeah, Leon. Your breath stinks,” I said to him, jokingly, and he made a sad puppy face. We all laughed really hard.

Again, the same head nurse came and….

“YOU BETTER GET OUT NOW BEFORE I BURN YOUR ASSES! YOU’RE DISTURBING OTHER PATIENTS!”

And they all quickly ran out from there before the nurse burn their precious asses. The furious nurse went near to Leon’s and scolded him.

“You’re still sick and need a lot of rest! Next time, don’t ever try to do any crazy shit!” and the nurse smacked Leon’s broken leg, causing him cried out in pain. I laughed at him.

A few months past, our wedding day finally arrived, and Leon had fully recovered. Our theme was Japanese traditional wedding with a hint of gothic touch. I was in my room, getting ready. It was like a dream come true.

“you look gorgeous, Jasmine,” Claire

“thank you, Claire.”

Then, my sister and my grandmother came in with a bouquet of black and white roses for me. I was so happy to see them, and I ran to them and gave a bear hug.

“you look so beautiful, Jasmine. Just like your mother,” my grandmother said.

I shed tears when she mentioned about mother. How I wish mom was still alive and sees me on my wedding day. My sister wiped my tears off. I smiled.

“ready to go?”

I took the flowers and grope it tightly. I inhaled and then exhaled.

“I’m ready!”

They escorted me to the altar. There, I see Leon, elegantly waiting for me with his sexy smile. The ceremony begins and finally been declare as husband and wife. All the guests cheering for us. As others were feasting, we went out, sat nearby the fish pond.

“I’m happy we’re finally married.”

“yeah, and I wanna say thank you…..”

“what for?”

I held his hand softly and smiled to him.

“…for lighten up my dark life. I can’t imagine if you didn’t help me that night. I’m sure my life will be more miserable than before.”

He smiles and brushed my cheek, softly and gently.

Then, we kissed under the bright moonlight and sparkling stars. Wind blew, carrying the sakura scents, giving such an eternal bliss.

“I love you, and I promise… as long I’m around, I will protect you,” Leon said to me.

“I love you too, Leon, for eternity….”
