Falling For The Man I Married

He put the ring on my finger and got up immediately. He lifted me by my waist and spun me around as he laughed and shouted 'yes and thank you' at the same time. When he put me down, he wiped those tears of pain and sadness from my face.

He hugged me tightly and kissed me again, but at that time I didn't wait for him to bite my lips just to kiss him back. I kissed him already the moment he captured my lips. I kissed him back like I never felt a single pain. I showed him and everyone what's the real emotion of a supposed to be the bride.

"Thank you, love," he said after pulling back and kissing my forehead.

I nodded and smiled at him.

"I love you," he said looking to my eyes as he cupped both my cheeks.

And there is again, that look. The look on his eyes as if he were pleading. And my stupid heart instantly melts just by looking at him.

"I love you too." I bit my lips as the stupid lone tear came out my left eye. And then he hugged me again.

When I looked at the people, they were still clapping their hands. I smiled at them, but I frowned when my eyes landed on Nancy's face. She's smiling and watching his brother as he accepts the congratulations and cheers from his family. But there's one thing I've noticed. Yes, she's also smiling, but the smile on her face doesn't look like the smile of full happiness, and it doesn't reach her eyes.

When she noticed that I am looking at her, she smiled and immediately walked closer to me. She pulled me into a tight hug.

"Thank you, Madi."

I gulped after hearing her thanks. To my surprise, she wiped my now dried tear and she smiled again.

"You really loved my brother. I can see it in your eyes." my breath suddenly stuck in my throat.

"Are you a mind reader?" I tried to joke.

"No. I'm an eye and emotion reader, Madi." my jaws dropped with her words and the serious look on her face. "Just kidding!" she said after a while and God knows how I let out a sigh of relief.

"Of course, I can see it in your eyes and tears. Those were the tears of happiness, right?"

"Huh? A-Ahm...y-yeah. Those were tears of happiness.." I glanced at Gabriel as I said the next line. "... and love for your brother."

She smiled. "I know." 

Their Aunts and cousins also expressed their gratitude as Aunt Cindy hugged me tightly and caressed my left cheek.
