Chapter 396 Yes... yes!
"Davi, will you marry me again?" As soon as those words left Sei's mouth, Davi's world screeched to a halt.
Her eyes were wide and she almost dropped the bouquet of flowers in her hands.
She felt like her heart stopped beating.
The words that Sei said repeated again and again inside her brain, like an endless echo. She felt like her emotions were about to explode all at once. She didn't know how to describe what she was feeling anymore. It was as if the words for these feelings didn't exist in this world.
Sei on the other hand, looked up at her, holding his breath as he waited for Davi's answer.
He spent this day preparing the setting for this proposal. He was willing to use anything and anyone, even his own son, as a prop to make everything perfect. He even asked Hinari and Zaki to help make this a flawless moment.
He was anxious the whole day and as he prepared and waited for her, he felt like this was the longest day of his life. He was so overwhelmed and excited but when the time ticked closer and closer, Sei's mind started messing with him, and he started to feel very nervous.
When he saw Davi come out of the house, and as he watched his goddess walking towards him like she was walking to the altar on their wedding day, Sei was so overwhelmed with so many emotions that his palms turned sweaty and his knees suddenly felt weak.
Gladly, when he saw Davi's reaction to the sudden appearance of countless fireflies, Sei's emotions somehow stabilized a bit. Sei had actually started planning for this day five years ago, so the fireflies in this garden were bred here just for this day. He made sure he was well prepared so that when this day finally came, it would be nothing short of perfection.
The surprise and wonder in Davi's eyes as soon as she saw the fireflies, made his nervous heart almost stop as he admired his beautiful queen. His nervous heart calmed down and was immediately replaced with confidence.
However, from the moment she reached and stood before him, Sei felt like he suddenly ran out of oxygen. This moment was better than he ever could have imagined. Everything around him started to fade to nothing as he looked into her eyes.
The feeling was so damn indescribable and all Sei could hear at that moment was the loud beating of his heart. It was so loud that it was almost deafening especially when Davi remained in a daze looking at him and the ring in his hand.
At that moment, Sei was supposed to tell her the short speech he prepared. It was suggested by Zaki and he was the one who checked it, but now, it seems like those words were stuck on his throat. It was because a silent tear suddenly flowed from Davi's eyes, and Sei's eyes to widen as she opened her mouth.
"Yes yes! I will marry you again, Sei!" She declared and Sei's heart immediately jumped in happiness. It was as if the oxygen that was absent a moment ago was now back in full force and he felt like he was alive again.
His eyes glimmered as he smiled widely. He felt like at this moment, he was the happiest man in the entire universe. He was nervous a moment ago but hearing her answer, he felt like he had been transported to the heavens and was floating on cloud nine. Never in his life had he been this happy. Never in his life had he felt so lucky to be alive.
In no time, Sei then took the ring and Davi immediately reached out her hand.
Like an ever so sweet romantic movie, Sei put the ring on Davi's finger before he kissed it, slowly, like a king kissing the hand of her queen.
As soon as Sei raised his face, Davi suddenly jumped on him and they both fell onto the grass.
"Sei" Davi cried as she gripped him so hard. "I'm I'm so happy," she said, as she hugged him tight.
"Me too Right now, you have made me the happiest man in the world," he said.
He rolled slightly so that he was lying on his side, with Davi lying on his arm on the ground. He was lying half on her and as he looked at her, he thought that she looked like sleeping beauty waiting for her prince to kiss her awake. He gently moved her hair off her face and slowly leaned in so that his lips were next to her ear.
"Davi I. Love. You," Sei whispered ever so softly, pausing after each word and in the next moment, he kissed her softly.
The kiss that they shared was nothing like ones before now. This kiss spoke of a new chapter, a new start. It spoke of the promises they were making to each other in their hearts at that moment, of their anticipation spending the rest of their lives together. A kiss that they wished would last forever.
So, under the bright moonlight, surrounded by fireflies dancing like little round magical lights, a couple could be seen kissing each other like there was no tomorrow.
