It wasn't just the breakfast and lunch, but rather the whole day meal of the villagers that were covered by Garnt on the ceremony day.
As the sun dipped behind the tall mountains, casting a warm, golden glow over the village, the bonfire crackled to life, illuminating the joyous faces of the villagers gathered around it. Laughter and merriment filled the air as people indulged in a lavish feast and raised their wooden mugs of alcohol high.
"Cheers for the good health of our leader and his new wives," One of the drunk men shouted and gulped the whole mug, causing others to follow him.
Amidst the festivities, two women, Gundo and Kara, sat side by side on the same bonfire, their expressions far from festive. Their hearts ached as they imagined Garnt enjoying his honeymoon, far away from the bonfire in a silent house.
