TWO WEEKS LATER
Tyler stood in front of the grave dressed in all black. His eyes were all red as they laid the coffin into the already dug grave.
“Save your tears brother. It wasn’t your fault.” Carl muttered as he caressed his back as a way of comforting him.
“I know. But I could have stopped it.” Tyler muttered.
“Yes but it was out of your hands. You don’t decide who lives and who dies.” Carl muttered.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I guess.” Tyler replied curtly.
“The ceremony is already over. Let’s go.” Carl whispered as the workers covered the grave back. Tyler nodded his head as they left the graveyard and walked towards his car.
“Tyler!!!” Tyler heard and looked up to see Rosalie waiting for him in his car. His moody face morphed into an addicting smile as he walked towards her happily.
“I’ll be on my way now.” Carl said as he left for his own car.
“How was Leonard’s burial ceremony?” She asked.
“It went well. Come on, let’s go. I want to take you somewhere.” Tyler said with a smile.
“Where’s it?” Rosalie asked in surprise.
“You’ll see.” Tyler answered and sat next to her in the back seat of the car. The driver started the car and drove it to God knows where.
************************************
“Close you eyes.” Tyler muttered as the car finally stopped.
“Where are we Tyler?” Rosalie asked suspiciously.
“Just trust me and close your eyes.” Tyler said.
“Okay.” Rosalie muttered and closed her eyes.
Tyler smiled and led her carefully out of the car. He avoided touching her gunshot wound so she won’t feel any pain. They walked for some time before Tyler finally stopped.
“Alright.. you can open your eyes now.” Rosalie opened her eyes slowly.
“Oh my God.” She gasped when her eyes took in the view of her surroundings.
They were currently at a very beautiful garden. At one side, there was a waterfall. The water poured down unto the lake below it. It looked very breathtaking.
“This place is so beautiful. How did you find…..” She became dumbstruck when she turned to find Tyler down on one of his knee and holding a a diamond ring.
“No way…” She muttered in shock.
“Rosalie… we’ve been through a lot together. We were tangled in dufferent messes and at sometime almost lost our lives. Thst made me realise how much I truly love you and need you in my life. Now, I want to use this medium to finally as you to be my lawfully wedded wife. To stay with me through thick and thin and for the rest of our lives. Will you marry me Rosalie??” Tyler asked.
Tears brimmed her eyes as she heard his question. She couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Will you??” Tyler asked again when he didn’t get any reply from her the first time.
“Yes.. yes… yes. I’ll get married to you. I’ll be your wife.” Tyler smiled happily and slid the ring into her left finger. He stood up and lifted her happily.
“Thank you so much for making me the happiest man alive Rosalie. I love you so much.” He said.
“I love you too.” Rosalie replied as she pressed her lips against his.
“Congratulations!!!” Rosalie broke away from the snogging kiss and turned around to see Alex, Mrs. Hermsworth, Carl, Jasmine, Micheal and Janice all staring at them happily.
“When did you guys get here??” She asked in shock.
“We have been here the whole time.” Jasmine replied.
Rosalie turned to face Tyler in shock.
“I called them here.” Tyler said.
“Come on now. Let’s eat before the food get’s cold.” Mrs. Hermsworth said as she carried Akex with her towards the big table that Rosalie just noticed.
“Congratulations..” Jasmine said as she gave Rosalie a tight hug.
“Thank you.” Rosalie answered happily.
“Congratulations bro.” Micheal and Carl said in unison as they pat Tyler’s back.
“I guess I’m the only married man amongst all of us.” Tyler joked earning a hearty laughter from all of them.
“Can I talk to you?” Janice asked Rosalie discreetly as the men kept gisting amongst themselves.
“Sure.” Rosalie said as she followed Janice to a safe distance, away from everyone.
She had just been discharged from the hospital after the accident that almost took her life and that of her unborn child.
Thankfully, they were both fine and survived the accident.
“I want to apologize to you Rosalie. For trying to ruin your marriage with Tyler. I was so greedy that I tried so hard to steal your spot as Tyler’s wife even though I knew he didn’t love me.” Janice apologized.
“It’s alright. I’ve forgiven you already. Besides, I’m sure you’ll still live the life you dreamt of as long as your baby daddy is with you.” Rosalie said as she turned to face Micheal who was so engrossed with hus talk with Carl and Tyler.
“You’re right. I’m just glad that I’ve let go of all my jealousy. I feel so free.” Janice muttered.
“I know. Let’s go back so they don’t wait too long for us.” Rosalie said as they walked back to where everyone was and sat down.
Alex said a short prayer and everyone started eating.
Rosalie smiled happily as she watched everyone gisting happily. She was finally glad that their problems were over and she get to spend the rest of her life with the people that were most dear to her.
