(Dedicated to every person who supported me while writing this book. Thank you all.)

Arimie, Frila, Rubisa, Amoris and Irlana were all clad in green as they made their way to their respective partners. Smiling and elegant the ladies were perfection and gents couldn’t keep themselves from smiling as each one of them crowned their girl with wreaths. Even little Olesia was given one by her father Zirius.

Once the ladies had taken their position alongside their respective partners, the music shifted yet again announcing the arrival of the bride.

Aselia stepped outside with Razian escorting her. All eyes turned and focused on her. Clad in a sea green velvet gown which was completely laden with gemstones of multiple shades of green, Aselia was a picture of grandeur. The gemstones sparkled under the last rays of the evening sun and Xiran watched her in complete awe.

The pendant still dangled proudly from her neck and her hair was woven with the same ribbon while some other hair accessories had been used to hold them in place. But most importantly the satisfied smile that played on her face revealed her inner happiness.

Xiran’s heart almost stopped beating for a second seeing his beautiful wife, for he could never get enough of her and her exquisite beauty. She was laughing at something Razian was saying to her and others soon chimed in.

Aselia had asked that flowers shouldn’t be plucked from their plants to be only trampled by others on her function so her choices were respected and pots and pots of fresh flowers were arranged but not a single flower was plucked. She ambled towards Xiran with a wreath of only fresh leaves in her hands. Simple and yet elegant.

"Mommy cute," Xolani happily chimed, her tiny hands clapped together. Her lovely gestures melted everyone’s hearts for she was their little angel.

Ciaran and Arian couldn’t gush enough at their stunning mother. They watched her in awe.

"So what do you think?" Rivan leaned in and whispered in his friend’s ear, his finger lifting Xiran’s chin to shut his mouth which was hanging open. His hungry gaze was glued to his wife who was slowly making her way towards him.

"This has to be your best creation. I love it man, thank you," he appreciably nodded at his friend.

"Here, always take care of my daughter," Razian lovingly patted Aselia’s hand and kissed her temple before handing her over to Xiran. She glowed and blushed, the contentment swelling her heart.

"I always will," Xiran respectfully stated with a slight nod of his head as he accepted Aselia’s hand and pulled her closer.

"Mom! You are beautiful," the twins chimed in and she bent down to kiss them turn by turn. They moved to her side and stood with her. Straightening up she gazed in the love-filled eyes of her husband and couldn’t help but blush some more. He would always have that effect on her that no one else could.

Razian joined his wife and wrapped his arms around her, they both watched the happy couple and their kids with contentment. Yurian had his arms around Frila as both of them couldn’t wait to have their own kids and start their family just like Xiran and Aselia.

Rivan handed over the wreath meant for Aselia to Xiran and took the centre position.

"Xiran! Declare your love for your bride and seal it with this wreath," he addressed his friend who was still carrying his daughter in one hand and holding the wreath with the other. Everyone watched the adorable family in awe.

"Leia! I don’t have words to express the love my heart holds for you. But from the very first moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were special but it was only with time I figured out how special you are. Thank you for choosing me to be your husband and blessing me with these precious children," he bared his heart to her. Xolani and Xiran then simultaneously placed the wreath on Aselia’s head, making everyone burst out in thunderous claps.

"Thank you!" she mumbled, adjusting her wreath and smiling wholeheartedly at her husband. Xolani placed a small kiss on Aselia’s cheek.

"Aselia! It’s your turn to reveal your feelings for him and seal your love with the wreath," Rivan addressed her. Aselia cleared her throat before beginning her small speech.

"Ahm! I will not lie, when I saw you for the first time or I thought it was the first time. You were the most handsome man I had ever laid my eyes on but you were a pervert."

~Cackles~

~Laughter~

Xiran had a sheepish look going. He knew this was true. The evening was falling and the last rays were dimly lighting up their faces.

"But with time, I saw your love and your affections. You had the most caring heart anyone could ever possess. I got to know you better and I don’t really know the exact moment I fell in with you but it had to be when and how you took care of me after that incident," Aselia didn’t elaborate on it because of the kids but Xiran understood perfectly well. His subtle grin said it all.

"Thank you for being the best husband in the entire universe. Sorry, you all," Aselia laughed, pointing to the rest of the guys with her other hand on her stomach, and more chuckles followed.

"Come boys, let’s crown your daddy," both twins obediently nodded and held the wreath with Aselia as Xiran bent down and they placed it on his head. He lovingly kissed his boys before straightening up and Rivan quietly took Xolani from his arms and declared:

"Feel free to be lewd now."

"I will take them," Yurian approached them and took away the twins, closing their eyes, with more laughter in the background. Rony barked from the sidelines, offering his approval.

Xiran gathered Aselia in his robust arms, she giggled as he leaned on her and their lips found each other, softly moulding into each other.

The fireworks went off behind them lighting up the sky as confetti flew and music upped a notch.

"Dance and champagne time," Rumail ecstatically declared. Everyone gathered in the centre to drink away the night and revel in the merriment of these blissful moments.

Rivan dragged them to where everyone was dancing and they began twirling to the music.

"You still owe me that race, Xiran," Aselia whispered in his ear.

"Tomorrow, be prepared to lose," he answered in his coquettish voice.

"Dream on, old man," she smirked while pivoting and he caught her again snickering back at her.

The evening melded into the night, and the night transformed into day but their love would live on for an eternity, burning bright and standing the test of time.

(This concludes my book and I would be lying if I said I am not an emotional mess right now. This meant the world to me. But this wouldn’t have reached where it did if it wasn’t for the people who supported me wholeheartedly throughout this journey.
