I Will Forever Cherish This Day

-This day.26th of August. The most important day that I will forever remember.-

(Inside a V.I.P. hotel room with my closest friend.)

As my eyes are closed, I can hear the sound of my favorite music playing.

[*Tower by Skylar Grey*

~You're high upon the tower

Now don't look down

I will be okay here on the ground

And you can always call

To say hello from time to time

When you're no longer mine

I always knew

That you would follow your big dreams

What I didn't know

Is that your dreams

Never did include me~]

"Just some final touches in the eyes and, there! You look so perfect. Looking at you makes me so emotional right now." Uttered by my close friend, Devon Menesis, a renowned make-up artist in our country.

"Does make-up really suit me? You know I don't use make-up that much. I'm not confident enough." I said.

"Oh come on! Who do you think I am? I'm not a famous make-up artist for nothing! Trust me. You will rock this look. Just smile and be yourself." She replied.

I smiled at her awkwardly.

"You know, I've always wanted to ask. Why do you love this music so much? Don't tell me it reminds you of that guy?!" asked Devon.

"Huh? Why would I love a music that would remind me of him? I just love the artist. Nothing more. Besides, I'm already happy. This is a big day for me and I shouldn't be talking about that guy anymore." I answered.

"That's good to hear. I'm happy how far you've come from all the things you have been through. It wasn't easy, but you managed to get through it all. Now, be happy my dear." She said.

Without saying any other word, I nodded and hugged her.

"Let's go." Devon said.

As we went out of the room and arrived at the lobby. I noticed people were staring at me.

"Ahh. They're staring at me. Maybe I look funny." I said in my mind.

-----

"She's here! Tell everybody to get ready." Told Ms. Smith to her employee, who were both waiting for me in the lobby. She is an event coordinator I hired.

"Hello, Ms. Smith! Thank you for waiting. " I said.

"Oh my gahd! Ma'am! You look so stunning! I can't believe it's you!" Ms. Smith exclaimed.

"Hah! Thanks to me. And, well, her naturally beautiful face." said Devon while shrugging.

"Oh come on! Stop it you two. I'm getting embarassed!" I told them.

"Okay, enough with the chit-chat! Let's go now to the garden. Ma'am, this is it. Once we arrive at the starting point, you will be by yourself. But, I'll still be guiding you from afar. There is no turning back, okay?" Ms. Smith told me.

"Dear, I'll be there watching you. Remember, just be yourself. Enjoy every moment and be confident!" Devon said.

"Ma'am, we will go ahead now. Just like the rehearsal, once the music starts you know what to do." Ms. Smith said.

"Yes. Thank you so much! Im ready." I told them both.

They both went ahead and I was left standing. Waiting for the music to play.

*piano starts playing*

I closed my eyes and said to myself, "This is it!".

I hear the creaking sound of the grand door opening. I opened my eyes, and I started walking.

I Choose You by Ryann Darling

~You're my always You're my forever You're my reality

You're my sunshine You're my best times You're my anomaly

And I'd choose you

In a hundred lifetimes I'd choose you

In a hundred worlds I'd find You...]

My heart is in pain, it is beating so fast. It's a kind of pain I have longed to feel. A pain I never thought I would ever experience.

While walking on the red carpet with scattered white rose petals, listening to the beautiful music. I suddenly remembered everything I have been through.
