In a Garden

Nandini's POV

How does it to feel alive facing your death once in your life, already..?? Strange!! That's the only word one will feel when you got to live again when you have already faced death and has suffered it's pain.

But, mine was different. I was yelping in pain. My heart was getting crushed inside. My body felt numb because the pain was unbearable. Yet, I couldn't feel helpless until I saw him, my love, my mate wailing in pain. He was trying hard not to shout because, he was scared that I might curse myself for being the reason of that pain.

Indeed, at that time, I felt something that none would feel when they face their death ahead. I felt so lucky. I felt so damn lucky to have him as mine. I felt so lucky to know that I was there in his heart and he had captured me there once and forever. I felt so lucky that he could never love any other woman as much as he loved me. And, I was ready to die with that thought in my mind..

But again, I couldn't be in peace. Because, if I die, I would be taking his life too and I felt so selfish of myself for getting him involved in my life. Hadn't I accepted him, hadn't I allowed him to mark me, he would have been free, alive. It was his mistake too, it was his mistake because he forced me to fall for him..

And I did fell and then I had to see him in the death bed but just like always, he wanted me close to him even when he's about to close his eyes, forever. I couldn't be more happier. Why wouldn't I..?? I would be dying in his arms. Those arms which could protect me, those arms which could hide me in it and none would be able to reach to me. Those arms which give me peace and like always, I found peace, even when I was about to die..

But, as they say, as my adelfos says, TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES and so our story. Indeed, he completed me in all aspects, let it be my mind, soul or body but still, I wanted to be with him more. I wanted an eternity with him. I wanted to lay in those arms until I feel, maybe now, we should rest in peace which I think would never happen because he is my EVERYTHING..

Just when I couldn't breathe more and my eyes closed something forced me to open my eyes and I saw him which meant, we were back, alive..True Love's KISS can make anything happen and so our's which we thought to be our last..

It was possible to die in your love's arms but it will never be possible to be born in your love's arms but I felt it, we felt it too. We were reborn in each other's arms and we didn't want more.

And here I'm now, in between my pateras and Dad with the bouquet of flowers in my hands walking ahead to where my destination is, where my mate, Manik Wilfred Weasley is waiting to make me his, forever..

End of Nandini's POV

Manik's POV

Love..!! That mere 4 letters word holds a lot of importance in one's life and so mine. I was a person who never believed in Love. Love..? I didn't even believe in having a mate. I was simply against girls.

I have always thought that they were behind my physique and fame and the degree that I hold in Tartaros. But my mate proved me wrong. She was the only girl who could reach my heart..

When I saw her for the first time, I was pulled to her. I thought, it was just an attraction, because she was beautiful. But then, there was something else too because of which I couldn't thin about anything else, except her.

When I see her getting ogled by someone else, I feel so furious that I just wanted her close to me and will never allow any damn creature near her..

I still didn't know why and then one day, when I had her in my arms, when I kissed her with all my heart, not due to possessiveness, not due to anger but simply I wanted it, I knew, she wasn't a mere attraction but my Love..

At that time, I understood, how powerful Love could be. My anger which couldn't be calmed by anyone was nothing in front of her. She simply could tackle me and I wasn't angry but in fact happy about it..

When I got to know, she was the Lil Goddess, I was hurt that she hid it from me, I was scared maybe I won't have her anymore, she would leave me but then when she said that she was scared for me, she wanted to protect me, I knew, she too wanted me, she too had something for me..

Gradually, we both fell hard that we didn't want to think about a life where we won't be with each other. We decided to protect each other and love each other until eternity, though we never told, but we knew, we wanted it.

Seeing her dying in front of my eyes was painful. That still hurt but just like God is wiser, he wanted us together, forever and so our Love won..

And now, today I'm seeing my mate, Nandini Grey Carlisle, my Love walking down the aisle looking magnificent in her bridal attire towards me. Yes, finally, today is the day I'm making her mine legally, I'm marrying her..

End of Manik's POV

Manik forwarded his hand towards Nandini ad she held it with a huge smile on her lips and climbed up the stage and stood beside him who didn't leave her hand, instead entwined them making her grin wider..

Priest: Repeat after me Chief..

Manik: I, Manik Wilfred Weasley, take you, Nandini Grey Carlisle, to be my wedded wife. With deepest joy I receive you into my life that together we may be one. As is Christ to His body, the church, so I will be to you a loving and faithful husband. Always will I perform my headship over you even as Christ does over me, knowing that His Lordship is one of the holiest desires for my life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care. I promise I will live first unto God rather than others or even you. I promise that I will lead our lives into a life of faith and hope in Christ Jesus. Ever honoring God's guidance by His spirit through the Word, And so throughout life, no matter what may lie ahead of us, I pledge to you my life as a loving and faithful husband.

Nandini: I, Nandini Grey Carlisle, take you, Manik Wilfred Weasley, to be my wedded husband. With deepest joy I come into my new life with you. As you have pledged to me your life and love, so I too happily give you my life, and in confidence submit myself to your headship as to the Lord. As is the church in her relationship to Christ, so I will be to you. Manik, I will live first unto our God and then unto you, loving you, obeying you, caring for you and ever seeking to please you. God has prepared me for you and so I will ever strengthen, help, comfort, and encourage you. Therefore, throughout life, no matter what may be ahead of us, I pledge to you my life as an obedient and faithful wife.( Credit again goes to Google )

Priest: You may kiss the bride..

And Manik softly kissed Nandini's lips in his and sucked them and left and whispered in her ears..

Manik: My wild side should be private..

She looked at him to see a teasing smirk on his face and she simply giggled at it with a red hue on her cheeks..

Nandini: I, simply love my Manik, let it be wild or soft..

He leaned forward and kissed her forehead..They turned behind to see the huge crowd where the whole Tartaros and Fiore were present, united. They smiled at them with Manik's hold on her waist..

Manik: Tartaros, welcome your Queen, Nandini Manik Wilfred Weasley..

And the crowd cheered for them making them smile. They turned to their family who blessed them. Eric and Earlene winked at them making them chuckle..

Manik ( turned to her ): Should I say something..?

Nandini: Should you..??

Manik: Nah, I think you know me well..

Nandini: Oh, I do..

Manik ( frowned ): Between, I forgot to tell you something..

Nandini ( giggled ): What..??

Manik ( grinned ): I love you..

And he kissed her again which increased the hoots while he decided to go with the flow and deepened his kiss..

And, they lived forever while fighting all the odds in their lives, still together because, that's all matters to them. No fear, no pain, until they are together. Their love grows and grows and grows..

The End...
