Made - Episode 34

 

Kim's POV 

I would say i feel grateful but thats not quite it. Happy, fullfilled maybe.. What i really feel is complete like He finally patched me up with my missing rib and am whole. I have been made and boy am not complaining. 

Let me see what i can i say about my Daniella. She is gorgeous, beautiful . I always get lost just trying to take in how a beautiful creature like her is possible on this broken planet. We could talk about her looks as much as you want but what fascinates me the most is that beautiful heart encased inside. I had lost hope in humanity. Even those people i found in church were really overrated until i met Daniella. Her heart is one made of gold. Gentleness, kindness, humility you name it all , miraculously embedded inside this woman. When i think i have learnt all there is to know about my woman i found there is just one bit more am supposed to know about. It's like am Alice in wonderland only that am opening doors that are reaching deeper into greatness, peace and tranquility. You see thats the thing. I know i will always fall in love with Daniella over and over again.

She is a gem.

I truly understand the meaning of the vow till death do us part for i have walked with her to the brink of death. I still shiver at the recall of that memory

. Daniella's tears seaping into my jeans as she clung to my trembling legs. I was scared out of my wit but was willing to be coverd with the cold blankets of death. 

The say an eye for an eye we would all be blind. It wasn't an easy memory to let go off, watching my mum being molested with five men each taking turn. Seeing my uncles thriving with my father's estate while we could hardly afford two meals a day was a knife through my feeble heart. If Jesus of Nazareth didn't save me i don't know what i would have done with the anger i had for this people. We all have that closet that is packed with things we want to forget. The key is forgiving and moving on for life has a lot to offer. Kim clearly didn't get to experience all this. He was a genius and psycopath. A lethal combination with a wrap sheet longer than my arm. Killing your own father at the age of nine? How on earth did he even come up with that. The thought of what he did still makes me uncormfortable despite the fact that he is gone. I just wish he had not meet such a tragic end.

I can hear the women on the other side of the room as i adjust my bow tie. Today am finally making her mine. Yaaay! I remember the first time i met her i knew i could do everything to see that face again. I usually didn't go to those apartments to take pamphlets. I had that inferiority complex when sorrounded by the rich. That day i went. It must have been nature's way of pulling towards my destiny.  Then i bumped into her over and over again and with each solid bump i was being reassured she was mine.

The fact that she had already landed on her feet was such a bummer on my side. I didn't want people thinking i was after money. It took a while for me to understand she looked at me as David and not the guy who has a job and is doing a bussiness that is booming. Then taking my mum and me like that at night! That bruised my ego but i later realised i was being a big baby. Truth is God had used this amazing woman to elevate my social status but even without the wealth i would love her.

I know i have met an angel in person and she is perfect to me.

I hear footstep heading towards my room and soon enough Philips head pops in.

"Man its time." He says.

****_****_****

I held onto my fathers arms as we walked towards the archy aisle decorated with orchids, peruvian lilies, chrysanthemums and hydrangeas some of which i was holding in one hand. The atmosphere was cool and in perfect harmony with the tranquil mood and serenity the occasion was bringing to my soul. 

This was a big day for me. I was getting married to the man i loved with every fibre in my body. Truth is i had already said my vows silently to this man. He was the one and there was no away i could hide that even if i wanted to.

We had opted for something different. A backyard wedding. Mum, Rachael and a few people from WIKDOS stood clapping. I stepped on to the rose petals that Alicia had placed on the path to the alter arch. Lloyd was also here with his girlfriend. I took steady steps towards the love of my life. 

Tears were now streaming down his face and that made my heart swell. He was looking fine in his six piece suit i just wanted to eat him alive. I love this guy. We could literally walk to the ends of the earth together. Behind him stood a beaming Philip smiling showing his deep set of dimples. I had watched the friendship between the two grow like fire in a forest. It was more of a David, Nathan situation. 

Mercy was also standing on the left side and besides her stood Alicia with a pillow containing the rings. I looked at her and she raised her eyebrows the winked . I almost burst into laughter. The Canon in D song playing came to a halt as my dad handed me over to David who was more than eager to take me. Pastor John stood ready to help this souls join together in holy matrimony.

All the while we stood there David did not break the eye contact with me. He saw my deepest and knew i meant everything i said as much as he meant his. 

I took the microphone and cleared my throat while unconsciously straightening my wedding garmet.

I met a man stronger than anything.

A man willing to walk when the feet are weary,

A man willing to die when life still has meaning

And all this he did because of love.

I know we say till death do us part but the love my David has shown me supersedes that.

In his arms am safe for am sure in the hills, valleys and corridors of love we will be together.

He perfect and beatiful inside and out.

He made me whole again and yes i want to marry  you my love. I hope you will find in me the best wife because you are undoubtedly going to be the best husband ever.

I love you David Johnson.

The waterworks came again and i used my handkerchief to wipe his tears while mine started streaming now he had to wipe mine with his own arms. Then he took the microphone while gently holding my chin letting me gaze deep into his eyes.

Then he started singing Perfect by Ed Sheraan

I didn't know he could sing that good but non the less i took everything inside. When he ended people stood clapping all over.

"You are an amazing woman Daniella Erickson. I love you and am amazed by the kindness you have shown me. Allow me love you till the end of age."

We placed the rings on our excited fingers.

"Now its time to kiss the bride! Dang"

My sister is crazy and she shrieked and quivered with exitement. It was our second time kissing after that day in her room. My heart beat against my chest wildly as his soft lips came into contact with mine. It tasted even better. 

We walked together hand in hand tour our house where the reception was to be held.

****

The speeches were amazing but Alicia's stood out atleast for me.

"Am happy and gratefull that finally.... finally am going to be called aunty. Finally men!" Every one burst out in laughter and David gave my hand a warm squeeze then winked at me making my heart leap in exitement.

Read " Ultimate Sacrifice " by the same author ( DORSILA ANYANGO )

. Alicia demeanor changed from comedial to serious.

"God does heals the land Daniella and you are made whole again. I am grateful that you are happy and you have found him. You two are perfect for each other. Sort of real but like out of a fairy tale at the same time. I know with God you guys are going to make it. Just dont keep me waiting in the aunty card okay."

We clapped and laughed. The day was beautiful and i knew i was surrounded with people who wanted to be there and were genuinely happy for me.

The time came and we boarded the Lemon green ferrari given to us by the company as our wedding gift to go to the airport and fly to our honeymoon.
