The wedding ceremony took place well but Michael and Meddy refused to go on a honeymoon , they wanted their wedding to be like mine and Hermon.
It was night everyone was still congratulating the newlyweds and nobody was angry with me except for Mr Smith. I was missing Hermon a lot. Suddenly I could hear the smell of coconuts and I thought I was being too much.
"Hey honey , I'm back..!" hearing that deep angelic voice and the coconut scent I could tell it was Hermon.
I looked at him with a smile and he rushed to hug me. "I was missing you a lot Ezrine , I don't know why but when I was away from you I felt like you needed me and I felt empty inside" Hermon said sweetly.
"Maybe it is because we complete each other" I blurted and he lifted his gaze into mine.
"Do I really complete you?" he asked in a much lower voice.
"I don't know" I couldn't bring myself to say it.
"That's okay take your time" he said calmly with a smile and I wondered how can someone be this positive.
"And yes thanks for supporting my brother the way you did in my absence , I really appreciate it"
"They love each other it was only fair to make sure they had each other."
Hermon smiled at me and his blue ocean eyes hypnotized me to keep on staring at him. A guest came and took Hermon away , the guest that were left in the house were strangely beautiful their skin was shining as if they have put oil and Mr Smith was friendly with them. But Meddy didn't seem to be comfortable amongst those people , she kept on brushing her hands together and closing her eyes as if she was hurting.
She reminded me of my mother even she used to do that under the moonlight.
That night lasted long and Mrs Smith was nowhere to be seen infact Mr Smith was with another woman and I wasn't surprised because a man was allowed to have mistresses and multiple wives.
A week passed and before I knew it , it was my birthday already and surprisingly Hermon was the first person to wish me then Meddy. I knew that Meddy told him. The Smith family wished me and they organised a party for me and I kinda like something bad was going to happen. But then I thought I must be nervous by the task that mom gave me before she died.
"Ezrine I know that you have to be on top of the Nogase Mountain at 9pm sharp" I was shocked by what I just heard , when I turned around to see who it is I found out that it was Meddy.
"How the hell did you know?" I asked trying to keep my voice down.
"I will tell you all that later but now let's make a plan to get out of here before 8pm!" she ordered.
"But now it 5pm and the party is about to start" I said panicking.
"Let's go downstairs and attend the party, I'll think of something" Meddy ordered. I didn't feel the need to argue with her today which was very strange.
We went downstairs and we found those shining human beings that made Meddy shiver. This time Mrs Smith was with Mr Smith and the other woman was with Mr Smith the last time was now with The Mayor.
"My lady" Hermon said , bowing and reaching out for my hand.
I gave him my hand. He gave the DJ a signal and the DJ played a very romantic love song. He led me to the dance floor.
"Hey what are you doing ? I don't know how to dance" I whispered.
"No , are you telling me that you're shy?" Hermon asked teasingly.
"No I'm not shy"
"Look into my eyes don't shift your gaze I'll lead you, you just have to follow my lead" Hermon comforted.
He sounded so genuine, there was only honesty. Sometimes I used to see loneliness and confusion in his eyes.
The dance was going well but everytime he pulled me closer to chest, I could hear his heart beating vigorously. I felt warm in his eyes , I felt secure as if I belonged there. It was as if I've been yearning for something like this for years. I can't describe it , I didn't know what kind of a feeling that was.
"The song has ended , honey" Hermon highlighted.
I feel my cheeks burn with embarrassment. I was mad at the song for ending so soon and the feeling which kept me in Hermon's arms refusing to let me release him.
"I thought you wanted to dance forever!" I said trying to retain my respect. I released his hands and walked away but he said"wait"
"Ezrine is my wife whom I got married to, but honey is my friend whom I fell in love with" I turned back look at him. Before I could say anything he stopped me.
"Today is the day you were born. I love you honey, I don't know why but I just do. On the of our marriage if you didn't faint I would've fainted. You must have noticed but your chocolate brown eyes are hypnotizing , they caught my attention when I tried not to look at you. You are so beautiful , intelligent and the best friend. I have a lot of affection and infatuation with you .One night I heard you say that you liked my eyes and that they were cute when you were sleeping. No one has ever said that to me , everyone used to think that my eyes were bad luck , I didn't have any friends. That's I'm always lonely in dark. Won't you please come into my life as the moon to light up my dark room and as my love to take away my loneliness" Hermon proposed.
I could feel my cheeks get wet from the tears. Hermon opened his arms and I ran and he embraced me. He help my face a said "will you" and I nodded in agreement.
He brought out a box and said it was my gift. When I opened it I found that it was something like a watch.
"What is this for ? I already got a watch" I reminded.
"That watch is special , we can contact each other from it. When you have a lot of work you can call me from this watch by just pressing the button and mine will ring and I'll know that it's you" he explained.
I wanted to hug him again but that would be dramatic.we did the cake cutting , I couldn't see Mrs Smith or Meddy at the function. Meddy shouted saying "Mother in law has fallen from upstairs". i didn't feel anything which surprised me.
Father in-law called an ambulance and everyone went to the hospital with mother in law. I was left with Meddy.
"There is twenty minutes left to be 9pm and it will be hard to go through the normal way."
"What did you do to Mrs Smith?"
"She will be fine , now hold my waist tightly",
"Why"
"Just do it"
I did and Meddy started saying strange words and I found myself on top of the Nosega mountain.
"How did you do that?" I asked shocked that Meddy could do magic.
"Do your task and I'll tell you everything"
"What do you mean by everything"
"Just do it"
I felt the urge to listen to her.
