FINAL CHAPTER

" Breathe, breathe, don't hold it, you'll be fine "

Apo's voice made Engfa glare at her. Nudee and Chompu were already struggling to hold back their laughter. Engfa gave them a warning look but that only made the corners of their mouths twitch even more.

Apo then wiped Engfa's forehead rather forcefully.

" Oh my god Engfa, you're sweating. Let me help you "

He said, his tone dripping with mock concern. Engfa brushed her hand away and looked at him sharply.

" Come on Engfa, it's your wedding day. This suit has to be perfect, make sure there's not a single wrinkle, okay ? "

Apo said, his voice calm but firm, his hands adjusting the hem precisely. Engfa laughed nervously as she looked down at her suit

" Oh my god, you're acting like Charlotte. I'm so annoying "

Apo grinned as he patted Engfa's arm

" Well, I just wanted to make you look perfect, you should thank me lol "

" Yes, I know "

Engfa said in an annoying tone that could still be heard.

Nudee then walked towards her, her hand on Engfa's shoulder. Her expression wavered between supportive and mischievous

" Don't worry Engfa, as your secretary and best friend, I will always be there for you. I will be behind you. If you faint at the sight of your bride, I am ready to help you "

" Oh gosh Nude ! "

Engfa snapped, her voice tinged with anger and that made them laugh even harder.

Chompu didn't want to let go of her either, she said with a big smile

" You know Faa, I think you should be grateful because all your friends are willing to help you. Just think, if you really fainted at the altar, we would tell Charlotte because you were mesmerized by her beauty. Charlotte would definitely be touched "

" Oh my god ! Can you guys stop teasing me. Unbelievable "

Engfa groaned as she threw her hands in the air. She then stood in front of the mirror. She caught herself thinking. Her face was still flushed, her shoulders tense but she couldn't help but let a charming little smile play on her lips.

Today was the day. Exactly five months ago, she proposed to Charlotte Austin on their first anniversary. She still remembered her shocked face looking at her with tears streaming down her cheeks. And now, she only had a few minutes to make her wife. She hoped everything would go well and hoped she could control her emotions well because this was the first time she had experienced something like this. It was a bit scary and thrilling but at the same time she was really looking forward to it because Charlotte would finally be her completely.

The beach with its stunning ocean views and the atmosphere of modern amenities at the Hotel Allegria was now witnessing the most beautiful day of Engfa and Charlotte's lives. The soft sound of the waves crashing against the shore mixed with the gentle breeze, creating perfect harmony as the setting sun embraced them with its warmth.

The place was packed with guests, their voices faint in the background almost like a soundtrack to her pounding heart.

Engfa stood with her chest feeling tight, she tried to take a deep breath but it felt like there wasn't enough air to fill her lungs. She looked at her family, Charlotte's family and her friends in front of her, all smiling excitedly. They knew this was the moment Engfa had always dreamed of and their presence made Engfa not feel alone.

But today Engfa felt time drag on, every minute felt like an hour and then everything was silent as Charlotte appeared, walking slowly down the flower-filled hallway with Mr. Aus, her father. Every step she took seemed to create a symphony. The hallway, decorated with white and pastel flowers, looked like a path to heaven. Engfa's eyes were fixed on Charlotte as Charlotte, her beautiful angel, walking towards her. Her long white dress flowed softly in the wind, her hair was simply but perfectly styled and her face shone under the soft light of the setting sun.

She was beautiful, too beautiful for words. When Charlotte finally reached Engfa, Engfa could barely find the words. There was only one thought on her mind

" I am the luckiest person in the world because she is mine and I am hers "

Charlotte stopped just a few steps from her love, still holding her father's arm. Their eyes met and Charlotte could see everything in Engfa's emotions, happiness and immeasurable love.

When Mr. Aus gently handed Charlotte to Engfa, the world seemed to stop. Engfa felt Charlotte tremble in her arms.

Charlotte stood in front of Engfa, tears started to fall but her smile remained. Suddenly all their memories flashed through their minds the first time they met, the laughter, the tears, the promises, the struggles and now today.

They had never felt any of this. When they looked at each other, they thought that love only existed in fairy tales but nothing was more real than this.

The priest began to speak and when it was Charlotte's turn to say her vows, her voice trembled softly but was filled with determination.

" Engfa...... you are my home, the place where I feel safe and the reason I believe in eternal love. Today, I swear to love you in all circumstances in the best and the hardest days. I promise to be your wife, always there, always supporting you and loving you more than anything. With you, I have found the meaning of life "

Engfa tried to hold back but her tears fell freely. Charlotte's words were everything Engfa had hoped for. When it was her turn, she took a deep breath, looking at Charlotte who was now filled with tears like her own.

" Charlotte...I have loved you since the first time we met, you changed my life in your incredible way and I cannot imagine my life without you. Today I will never stop loving and respecting you, to be your place to lean on and protect you from anything I promise in this life and beyond, I will always choose you "

When the priest finally said

" By the power I have, I now pronounce you my wife "

Engfa then stepped forward, gently cupping Charlotte's face and staring deeply into her eyes. When their lips met, it was not just a kiss but a promise. A promise they would love forever and cherish together.

The applause echoed behind them. When the kiss ended, Charlotte let out a soft laugh, tears still streaming down her cheeks.

" I thought I was going to faint "

She said softly, her voice hoarse but full of laughter. Engfa wiped Charlotte's tears with her thumb

" I'm glad you're not, baby but now you're my wife. My beautiful wife "

They then held hands, walking slowly down the flower-filled aisle, surrounded by white and pastel colors. The cheers of their guests greeted them but they knew that their journey had only just begun. Today marked the beginning of their eternal love story
