The Best Day of My Life by Mizan Ahmad
I woke up with a warm feeling in my heart. The day had never
been this beautiful before. The morning breeze blew in from a window that was
left ajar and there I saw the love of my life sleeping soundly in his plain
white t-shirt beside me. My blood rushed to my cheeks as I stared at my finger
realizing that the one and only fairy tale I’ve been dreaming of had come true.
A grin formed on my face as I reminisced what happened the day before.
“Today is the day”, I mumbled. I felt this sensation as if
there were butterflies in my stomach. I looked at my reflection in the mirror
that was as tall as I am, I barely recognized who I was looking at. “Who is
this tall and fair looking lady wearing this beautiful dress in white ?”, I
asked myself. I twirled around the small platform to search for any defects of
the dress. The feeling of insecurity surrounded me as I rushed to the thought
of not being perfect for this one special event of my life. The smell of
freshly baked cupcakes filled the room as my mother came in with a smile on her
face.
“My beautiful daughter”, she grinned.
“Uhm, mom ? How was it when you married dad ? I’m eager to
know.”, I stuttered.
“It was the most beautiful day I’ve ever had other than the
day where I hold you in my arms for the first time of course.”, she giggled.
“Look at you now, all grown up. I never thought it would be
this fast. I barely took my eyes off of you and here you are now in your
wedding dress.”
“I’m unsure of this. Mum ? Can someone take my place walking
down the aisle instead ?”, I said jokingly.
“Nonsense ! You’re perfect. You’ve become a beautiful and brave
woman. Don’t say such nonsense !”
I was well prepared for this day. I was certain…
I heard a voice calling my name to come out. I took a deep
breath and started stepping towards the door. Everyone gasped in awe as I walked
down the aisle accompanied by my father. There, I saw, the guy who was standing
right ahead with his sleek
black suit and his brunette hair brushed back. He was perfect. At that
moment, I was sure enough, this is the guy I’m going to spend my whole life
with. The autumn leaves blew at the right moment just as my dad moved my hand
from his to my future husband’s as a sign of consent. He embraced me
wholeheartedly. I couldn’t help it but to grin as I looked straight into his glowing
blue eyes, the reason why I fell for him in the first place. He smiled back
anxiously as he held my hands and vowed to be mine and only mine until death do
us part. I could feel his hands shaking but as he stood there and said “I do”,
it stopped. He pulled me in his arms and kissed me. My heart was about to burst
and tears shed as the moment was too perfect for me. “You’re mine, now and
then, present and future, I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine. I promise.”. He ended
that sentence with a kiss on my forehead and wiped away my tears with his right
hand.
We danced all night after the wedding and stargazed under
the moonlight. He brought me in and I fell asleep in his arms. It was perfect. It
was indeed the best day of my life.
