chapter 28: Repeat of the nightmare

Parker's POV

I couldn't stop my tears even I try as I see the gift that Zayn had prepared for me.

"Parker, are you okay?" Kaino asks me and I pull away from his chest before looking at him.

He watches me with worry and I pull out the gift from the box before showing it to him. He takes it from my hands and looks at it confused. He don't know about it, the story behind the gift.

"That's the bunny princess bride" I whisper with my tears, "years back, when we start dating, on our first anniversary I got him a gift. That was a bunny prince groom. I told him there's a bride for that groom and that they both are a pair together. I asked him for the bride. But he brushed it off or so I thought he did. Until one day I found out that he has been searching for it but couldn't fine it. So, I told him that was fine. He agreed to me and I thought he left it there. But I didn't know he was still trying to get this." I explain the story behind the gift as fresh set of tears roll down my eyes.

Kaino watches me for a minute before he wipes my tears and places the doll on the table. He brings out a letter from the box and shows it to me which I didn't observe. Maybe I was too lost that I didn't see it.

"He wrote a letter for you, Parker. Read it." Kaino says handing me the letter.

I stare at the letter without taking it from him and when I glance at him, he nods at me to take it. Bringing my shaky hand up, I take the letter from him and open it to see Zayn's handwriting after so long. Taking a deep breath, I start reading the letter...

"To my dear soon to be husband,

Do you remember that day when you asked me to bring the bunny princess bride to the groom you gifted? I pretended to be not interested so that when I bring it you would be surprised. But even after trying so much, I couldn't find it and somehow you ended up knowing about. You said I should stop trying and yet again I pretended to agree to you. But what you didn't know was I was still trying to find the doll."

"It wasn't easy as I couldn't find the doll anywhere. However, I never gave up on it. Because you said it's a pair, I wanted both to be together. I felt it represents us. After searching for it so long, I finally found it. I hope to see your surprised face and happy smile when I give this to you.

Love you,

Your soon to be husband, Zayn."

My vision blurs as I read the letter and my teardrops fall on the letter. I crush the sides of the letter as I cry loudly. This was my fault, if only I didn't tell him about the other doll, he wouldn't be so persistent on bringing this. He wouldn't go out on that rainy night and..and I wouldn't have lost him forever.

Kaino pulls me to him as he hugs me tightly and I cry in his embrace for I don't know how long. I just cry and cry until I loose my strength. I knew seeing the gift and leaving everything behind before I start a new beginning with Kaino is difficult. Not because I would get reminded of Zayn and get into dilemma. No, because I love Kaino, I truly love him with all my heart. But it was because I would get reminded of the accident and now this gift is making me feel guilty. It makes me feel it's all my fault to begin with.

"It's not your fault, Parker." Kaino mumbles while softly rubbing my back in soothing manner.

I look up at him as I sniffle thinking how could he know what I'm thinking. Like reading my mind, he says, "remember I know everything you thinks."

Even in this sad moment, I smile hearing his words. He's really my saviour. I don't know what would happen to me if it wasn't him. In one way I should thank Zayn for asking us to marry each other.

"Are you fine now?" Kaino asks and I nod before wiping my tears and moving away from him.

Placing the letter back in the box, I close it and hold it in one hand while I carry the doll in another. I stand up, Kaino standing up along with me and we walk to the store room again. This time Kaino walks in along with me and I walk directly to the corner of the room and stand in front of a cabin. I put the box down and open the cabin door to take out the bunny prince groom. I have put this doll here after Zayn's accident because it reminded me so much about him.

Opening the box, I place both the dolls in it along with the letter and close it before putting it back in the cabin. Not just closing the box but closing that chapter of my life too.

Turning around, I glance at Kaino and he smiles at me with a nod. That assurance from him, like saying I did right brings a small smile on my face and makes my heart feel at heart. Kaino holds my hand and leads me out of the room before locking it. Heading us the our room, he helps me to get on the bed and he climbs after me. Laying on the bed, he pulls me to him and makes me lay on him as he hugs me. I sigh in content and close my eyes as sleep approaches me fast. I sleep safely in his embrace.

I wake up and yawn as I rub my eyes before opening them. The first thing I see is Kaino looking at me.

"You woke up already?" I call out before sitting up.

"Sometime ago. So, how are you feeling?" He asks me.

"I'm feeling good." I reply honestly making him smile and then I remember something, "Kaino?"

I call him cutely and move closer to him as I hold his hand.

"What is it? And what's with the high pitched voice?" He questions and I grin at him.

"Um, that, I want this marriage to happen on the same day as our marriage anniversary. Though now we're marrying again, even that marriage was ours and I don't want to nullify that or have two different marriage anniversaries for us. So I want this to happen on the same day." I tell while playing with his hand.

"But that's just in a week?" He says surprised, not denying my words though.

"I know and that's I'm informing you." I grin at him.

"It's fine with me but how do we arrange everything by then?" He queries and I smile because he accepted it, not that he would say no to anything I ask.

"Don't worry, out marriage would be a small celebration, only our parents and close friends will be invited." I tell him.

"Even still we have to make preparations." He sighs and I smile.

"I already did." I reveal with a sly smile making him surprise.

"You already did what?" He asks with wide eyes.

"I already arranged everything, the venue, the food, even the cards are printed we just need to give to our friends together. The only thing we need to do is go and give measurements for our wedding suits." I explain and he looks at me in shock.

"You did all these even before asking me out?" He queries.

"Because I know you would say yes." I reply with a smirk.

Confusion clears and a knowing smile appears on his face before he pulls me to him and lies me on my back before laying in top of me.

"So, now you're knowing everything before I even say?" He calls out nuzzling my neck.

"It's not just you who knows everything about me. I've been with you for an year, so yeah, now even I know." I whisper feeling ticklish.

"Sure, let's get married however you want." He agrees and I smile before pulling him into a kiss.

***

One week passed by in a blink of an eye and tomorrow is the D-Day. After talking to Kaino one week ago, that very day we went and ordered our suits, same for all three of us, Kaino, I and Moon. But that idiot designer didn't finish Moon's suit. He sent ours both yesterday and when we asked about Moon's, he said that totally slipped out of his mind. Kaino asked him if he could get it done by today and he said okay. He called few minutes before saying it's done and asking Kaino to come and get it as he has some issues because of which he can't send the suit like he did to ours.

"I won't allow you to go." I tell Kaino because it's raining heavy outside and in all honesty it's reminding me of what happened exactly on the same day one year ago.

"I'll be quick, Parker. I'll go, take the suit and come back." Kaino says as he gets ready to leave.

"No, we can get it tomorrow. Don't go now." I hug him as an attempt to stop him.

"Please, wasn't it your wish for all three of us to wear same suit. If Moon can't wear, it won't be good." He tries to convince me while rubbing my back.

"Still, I don't want you to go." I mumble against his chest.

"I promise I'll be back, Parker." He promises and I pull away.

"Really?" I ask him and he nods before kissing me, "I'll be waiting for you."

With that he takes his raincoat and leaves the house.

"I put Moon to sleep. Will you sleep or wait until Kaino returns?" Mother asks me.

As tomorrow is the wedding, mother and father are already here.

"I'll wait for him, mother." I tell her and sit on the couch beside father.

She nods at me before sitting next to us. Sitting and waiting on the couch for Kaino is reminding me of the time I waited for Zayn and as each passing second, my heart beat increases rapidly. Almost an hour passes by but Kaino still didn't come. And waiting is getting on my nerves and adding to all that the rain is pouring heavier than before. So I grab my phone from the table to call him. But before I could, my phone starts ringing.

Looking down, I see Kaino's number on the screen and a smile pulls on my face.

"Hello, Kaino." I say eagerly into the phone.

"It's not Kaino." I hear the response from the other side of the phone, "Is this Parker?"

"Yes." I whisper when the person on the other side questions me. My smile disappearing.

"You know Kaino?" The voice asks.

"Y-yes, h-he's my husband." I answer while shuttering.

"Your husband met with an accident." He says and I drop the phone before collapsing down.

Why is it happening again? This is all too much of a coincidence. Just one day before our wedding, heavy rains, Kaino leaving the house even after me saying no and now I'm getting a call just like last time informing me about the accident. How do I face this again?
