Loving you too late

Weddings

A week passed, precisely today the wedding of Steve and Jessy. The marriage that Jessy craves is not what she dreams of. Before the wedding ceremony, Jessy who was still in her room cried bitterly. Crying not because he was happy but because of the fact that this marriage only received him while Steve did not.

More about the feelings of Steve who did not reciprocate his love and have a lover. Jessy really likes Steve even began to arise a sense of love for Steve. But after knowing the truth it was hard for him to erase his feelings for Steve.

" O Lord, strengthen me in the face of this test, it is indeed painful but I must accept it ". Say it to yourself while crying.

Tok .. tok ..tok the sound of Jessy's room door being knocked by someone, hearing that knock Jessy went straight to the bathroom to wipe her tears.

" Jessy, where are you ". The guy who knocked was looking for Jessy.

" I'm in the bathroom, for a second ". Jessy Sahut.

Before the bathroom door opened, Jessy came out and approached the person.

" What's wrong with your face ?". Ask the guy who turns out to be Jessy's mom.

" It's okay ma ". His objection then walked past his mother.

" Yes let's go down, it's time for your wedding blessing ". The middle-aged woman smiled.

" Ma, can I hug you for a second ". Pinta Jessy before they both go down.

Mama Olive immediately hugged Jessy, Jessy wanted to cry again but she tried to hold him back, she didn't want anyone else even her family to know the truth. He'll keep everything to himself in meetings.

Then Jessy and Mama Olive went down to the blessing place. Jessy looked at the people who came, the people closest to both sides only. He recalled Steve saying a week ago that his wedding would be attended by the closest people.

Jessy took her breath and breathed it rough, she stepped her feet towards where Steve was standing. He caught a glimpse of Steve's face which seemed to spread a fake smile.

Jessy was just silent her face looked gloomy, then Steve whispered something near her ear.

" Smile Jessy, show me if you're happy about this wedding ". Whisper Steve

Jessy turned to Steve who was smiling cynically, she narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to her parents.

The wedding ceremony took place and after series after series, the pastor told Steve and Jessy to be legal as a married couple and let the groom kiss the bride. Steve did as he was told, kissing Jessy's lips even though he didn't want to kiss the woman in front of him. Everyone applauded to see Steve's last act.

After their simple wedding was over, Jessy headed straight to her room. She came back crying.

Steve, who saw Jessy crying in his room, looked cold and walked towards Jessy.

" Why are you crying, it's not your dream to marry me !" He cried while sitting his body in the chair.

" Even Steve, I'm lazy to argue with you ". He then wiped his tears.

" Yes, pack all your things we'll stay in my private house ". Steve replies indifferently and leaves.

I love you, Steve, but if this marriage is based on me loving you, it's the same way you make me want to die. In Jessy's heart that saw Steve pass out of her room.

Then Jessy packed up her things that she would bring to Steve's private home. While packing her things, Jessy saw the reflection of her face in her bedroom mirror. For a long time he looked at himself in the mirror.

You gotta be strong, Jessy, keep your house no matter what. Be a strong woman. Jessy encouraged herself.
