Alive

TW: fake death (always put to your mind that this is pure fiction)

Ciara's pov

"T-Tyron.."

I could feel my tears constantly flowing from my eyes. But instead of answering me, he just smiled at me. A smile that makes my knees weaken, even more, the smile that I thought I would never see in my life or even once in my life ever again, will unexpectedly be seen by my two eyes exactly on this day.

It was as if my heart was pounding as he stepped closer to me.

Tyron...

"Can I take the hand of your daughter, sir?" He politely asked my daddy, while I still couldn't take my eyes off him.

"Here, she's all yours now. Take care of her, I'm trusting her to you, don't fail me," dad gave my hand to him.

"Thank you, sir." He smiled and gently accepted my hand. And the moment he held my hand and I felt his warm skin on me, that's when reality hit me.

H-he's alive.

"Y-you're dead.. h-how—" I cried to him, but he cut me off.

"Shh." I was even surprised when he took my right hand and applied it to his face.

"Warm or cold?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"W-warm," I replied, voice cracking.

"Then, I'm still alive." He said, causing me to break down even more.

"B-but.. how? W-why-.. what—" I couldn't continue what I was going to say because of the tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry." Two words, seven letters that cost me so much that I didn't know the reason, but I knew in myself that I wanted to hear it.

"Because I thought that I'm always putting you in danger whenever you're by my side. I'm always the reason why your life didn't get the peace that you're always longing for." He smiled bitterly.

"So I decided that, before you wake up, I told your friends to tell you I'm gone, so that you won't be hurt ever again, triggering your trauma whenever you see me. I left you with them, because I knew, getting out of your life was the only reason to take back your peaceful life, to make your life get better again. I went to Thailand even to Japan in order to forget about you and start my life again without thinking about how are you now, thinking how happy you are now without me in your life."

"But, I think it's all a mistake. It got worse, the more days and weeks passed without you, it feels so incomplete, it feels so unusual. I'm getting insane thinking of getting back to you, but I hold myself back, thinking you're already fine, you're healed. But when I tried contacting Raiza again, I found out that you've been suffering from depression since I left you. I got devastated, it makes my heart ache every time they're saying you keep on mentioning me to them. How much you're missing me. It's making me want to show you and get you back again, but it will be too absurd, right? But I still looked for you on social media, and there I shoot my shot," I frowned when I heard the last thing he said.

Does it mean...

"Y-you are.."

"Yes. I am Axel Cipriano and I am here to fulfill the promise I made to you years ago. Remember when I said '' I court you and I'll be here when you wear that gown?" I looked at the gown I was wearing and couldn't help but sobbed in pain.

"I hate you!" I said here and punched him in the chest.

"Ah!" He moaned, but I didn't pay attention. Instead, I just hugged him tightly.

I'm gonna marry your daughter,

And make her my wife.

I want her to be the only girl that I'll love for the rest of my life.

"B-but wait if you're alive. Then w-who's that... who's the one I always visit in the cemetery? The tombstone! Who's that?!" I asked incredulously.

"Pft, It's not me." He answered and held my hair and tucked it behind my ear.

"I meant to let that out."

"You're annoying. You fooled me!" I frowned as I cried. He wiped away my tears.

"I.. miss you. I miss you so much!" I burst out while still crying.

"Shh, I miss you too, your presence, everything about you, I just miss it."

"Ciara, I miss you. I really damn miss you so much, wife." I saw some tears drop from his eyes which he immediately wiped away.

"Fvck these tears," he cursed, and then looked up to stop it. He looked at me again and smiled.

And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die, yeah

I'm gonna marry your princess

And make her my queen

She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen

"I don't have a right to die, unless you give me permission, understand?" He said, but I still couldn't speak, my tears were still shredding.

"Will you marry me, again, wife?" Darn...

"Y-yes!" I cried and hugged him softly, very tightly. I really miss him a lot.

After I hugged him, he supported me and walked in front of the altar, where the father was standing.

I can't believe Tyron is still alive.

I got fooled by those idiots. They made me believe that he's really gone. I hate them! I hate them so much!

"I require and charge you both, as you stand in the presence of God, before whom secrets of all hearts are disclosed, that having duty considered the holy covenant that you are about to make, you do now declare before this company your pledge of faith, each to the other."

I looked at Tyron who took my hand and whispered to me.

"I love you," she whispered, smiling.

"I love you too." I smiled and stopped crying.

Until now, I still can't believe that I'm actually the one to get married and not those two abnormalities.

Is it true that she is pregnant? Or was it just a show too?

"Tyron Collins, do you take this woman to be thy wedded wife. To live together. In the holy bonds of matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, keep thy only. unto her so long as you both live?" Father asked Tyron.

The first time I saw her

I swear I knew that I'd say "I do"

"Of course, I do." He answered with a smile and then held my hand tightly.

"Ciara Cortel, do you take this man to be thy wedded husband. To live together. In the holy bonds of matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, keep thy only. unto him so long as you both live?"

"I really really really do, father!" I answered smiling as well.

I'm gonna marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl that I'll

Love for the rest of my life.

And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die

"You may now kiss the—"

"STOP THE WEDDING!!

At once, we turned to the door where that shout came from.

"Woah!"

"Who is that?

"Joke! Hehe, piece! All right, you may now continue kissing! I'm dexter! Wah!!" Said the small kid, and then ran right away, shouting.

We looked at each other and chuckled, Tyron stared at me and slowly moved his face closer to me.

Woah!!

I'm gonna marry your princess

And make her my queen

She'll be the most beautiful bride that

I've ever seen

I can't wait to smile

As she walks down the aisle

On the arm of her father

On the day that I marry your daughter.

I felt his warm and soft lips against mine. My heart skipped for a moment when suddenly he pulled my waist and he wrapped his arm around my body.

"I love you... I fucking love you, Ciara." He whispered.

People around applauded, some were already crying and others were laughing.

Best day.

"Let's go?" Tyron asked me, I couldn't answer right away when he suddenly carried me out of the church.

Omg! I can't believe this! I'm now officially and truly married to my favorite person!

"Ara! You know what to do!" I turned around and prepared to throw the flower.

"Kyaaah!!"

"Omayghad, mine!"

"Me! Me!"

"GET IT !!" Raiza jumps in joy as she catches the flower.

"Love! Don't jump! My baby!" Tyler's warned.

"Wife?" I looked at Tyron as my heart beat faster after he called me.

"Let's go home now together, shall we? I won't let you go home alone again, from now on... I'll be here by your side no matter what happens. I'll stay by your side and love you like there's no more tomorrow." He cupped my face as he placed a peck on my forehead. My tears flowed again when he said those words.

I waited for this, Ty. To go home with you.
