Love Worth Fighting For

393 Big day

“Does it have to be like this, madam?”

“Zwetta.” Anne said Zwetta’s name softly. “Have you forgotten what Mommy said earlier?”

Zwetta immediately lowered her head with cheeks already bright red.

“You two are officially married in the country, but still you have to get married before God, back when Mommy married Daddy it was the same as today. Only the people closest to us attended our wedding at that time, even though the wedding was extraordinarily beautiful and very memorable. That’s why Mommy wants you and Christian to have those beautiful memories,” said Anne softly, as soft as the movement of her hand that was touching Zwetta who had just finished being made up by the make-up artist called by Suri. “You are very beautiful my child.”

Zwetta’s eyes hazel filled with tears, the soft words that came from Anne’s lips really made her chest warm. Never having felt a mother’s love made Zwetta so carried away at this moment.

Anne shook her head. “No, you shouldn’t cry today. Such a beautiful bride must be smiling happily on her special day today.”

“I don’t deserve all of this,” Zwetta softly, barely audible.

“Don’t deserve it ? What do you mean? You are the woman Christian chose and loved so much, how could you speak inappropriately?”

Zwetta lowered her head. “I come from a family that is not clear, my father was drunk while my mother...”

.....

“Zwetta.” Anne stopped Zwetta’s by lifting her beautiful daughter-in-law ‘s up, facing her. “Mommy also comes from ordinary society, Mommy’s parents are also as unlucky as your parents. And just so you know, when Mommy married Daddy at that time Mommy’s status was not a single girl. Mommy was a woman whose husband divorced her when she married Daddy. ”

Zwetta’s mouth immediately opened wide in too much shock.

Anne smiled. “But all of that didn’t diminish Daddy’s intention to marry Mommy at that time, Daddy with Mommy’s status at that time. So don’t ever feel like you don’t deserve Christian, believe me love doesn’t look at someone’s status.”

“Mommy isn’t joking, is she?”subconsciously Zwetta called Anne Mommy.

“How could Mommy be joking, you can tell Daddy directly if you don’t believe it. You can also ask Erick if you’re still curious, because Erick is one of the people who has witnessed Mommy and Daddy’s life journey since we were both still living in England,” said Anne is gentle.

Zwetta did not answer Anne’s words back, she was still overcome with disbelief by what she had just heard. Marianne Clarke who is so perfect turns out to have a quite unique past, just like her. Zwetta was completely overwhelmed with a foreign feeling that couldn’t be described at this moment.

Anne and Zwetta’s conversation had to be ended due to the arrival of Suri and a female designer who brought a wedding dress for Zwetta, last night after Christian and Zwetta were officially declared husband and wife Anne immediately took care of all the weddings today assisted by Suri and Areez. That’s why in a fairly short time all the wedding preparations for Christian and Zwetta were completed.

“Let’s wear the wedding dress,” said Suri excitedly. “This dress is the latest dress of the season, Zee. You will look very beautiful in this wedding dress.”

Zwetta thinned her lips, she looked very nervous seeing the wedding dress that had been prepared for her. In her whole life, Zwetta never thought that she would be able to marry a man considering her risky job. But today all her fears disappeared, today she will marry a man who is the dream of many women. A handsome and rich man.

Because Zwetta didn’t move, Anne then put her hand on Zwetta’s waist and asked her to walk towards the evening to immediately wear that extraordinarily beautiful wedding dress.

As if it had been prepared for Zwetta, the beautiful wedding dress fit perfectly on Zwetta’s slender body which had not undergone any changes. Her pregnancy, which had just been running for ten days, had not changed her body shape at all.

“Very beautiful,” said Suri solemnly. “You really are so beautiful Zee. No wonder my brother is so crazy about you.”

Zwetta’s cheeks flushed. “Stop...”

“What Suri said is true, you are truly extraordinary, dear. Christian will surely faint at the sight of his wife’s current beauty.” Anne interrupted Zwetta’s words, not wanting to be outdone by Suri who had previously praised Zwetta’s perfection in the wedding dress chosen by Suri.

The red color on Zwetta’s cheeks was increasingly visible, almost half of her life spent on the battlefield, so Zwetta never dreamed of being able to wear a wedding dress and beautiful makeup like today. That’s why she looked so nervous when she received compliments from her sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Zwetta is truly the happiest woman today.

Knock... knock...

“Sorry to interrupt, madam. The priest has arrived,” Kainer said so politely from behind the still closed door.

Anne immediately turned towards the door where Kainer was standing behind it. “Ok, we will go down. Please call my husband, he must be ready with us.”

“Okay madam,” Kainer answered back before finally the young man left the bridal chamber to convey Anne’s message.

Anne again turned her attention to Zwetta who was listening to Suri’s praise. Suri, who has lived as the only daughter in the Clarke family for many years, is so happy today. She is happy because she will soon have an older sister who will become her friend to do fun activities in the future.

“Let’s get ready, Daddy will be here soon,” said Anne softly.

“Daddy?”

Anne nodded. “Since you don’t have a father anymore, Daddy will be taking over for your father’s duties today. Daddy will walk you down the aisle to meet Christian.”

Zwetta’s face immediately went pale. “What?”

“It’s okay, honey. Daddy doesn’t mind either, Daddy is actually very happy to get this extraordinary assignment. So you don’t need to be nervous, everything will be fine,” said Anne again trying to calm Zwetta who looked very surprised when she heard the father-in-law who will accompany her to walk down the aisle.

“Listen, everything will be fine Zee.” Suri wrapped her hand around Zwetta’s left arm gently. “Let’s go out, it seems Daddy is waiting for us in front.”

Anne nodded slowly. “Come on.”

Having no other choice, Zwetta finally gave up when asked to leave the room to meet her father-in-law who would accompany her to meet Christian, her husband.

“If this is a dream please don’t wake me, God. I want to stay in my dream...”
