Chapter 4: Story of "us" (II)

Date: October 19, 2014, The day they got married.

It took exactly 5 months to arrange the wedding. Devon and Bonnie has decided to get married at the day of their graduation as the idea of marriage and being perfect pressure the hell out of them. Everyone around them have high expectations of so they rushed the idea of getting married first since working with a good job won't be a hard problem for them. They were the top of the university anyway so a lot of jobs would be lingering around them.

soon enough, the day of the wedding came by and everything was prepared as so Devon and Bonnie. They were willing to give into the married life.

"Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live?"

"Yes, we do," The couple said together while holding each other's hands, facing each other at the altar.

"Then, Devon Kim, do you take Bonnie Lee to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?" The priest asked Devon.

"I do." Devon replied while staring down at his soon-to-be wife. The way she wore the gown was really angelic, he was distracted in the ceremony because of how beautiful Bonnie looked wearing a laced-fitted long gown with her veil covering her face.

"Bonnie Lee, do you take Devon Kim to be your wedded husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?" The priest continued with the vows.

"Yes, I do," Bonnie said.

"Then, you may now kiss the bride," The priest said while the ones attending the wedding was anticipating the kiss. Everyone, starting from the couple's family to their friends, was focused on the couple being married.

Devon was excited to kiss his bride. He lifted his fingers to touch the veil covering Bonnie's face, slowly lifting it and putting the veil behind her face. She was gorgeous as an angel. When Devon saw Bonnie's face real close, he couldn't get his eyes of her. He was frozen on his spot due to being starstruck.

"What now? I am waiting Bon, are you not going to kiss me or are you waiting for me to kiss you?," Bonnie giggled asking the starstrucked Devon to do what he needs to do.

Devon was now broken of his trail of thoughts. He started going closer and closer to Bonnie as he whisper.

"Who said I'm not going to? I've been looking forward to this since the start of the ceremony," Devon whispered as he grins which made Bonnie to have flushed cheeks.

It wasn't their first kiss since they pecked on each other's lips during college years but it was going to be their first kiss as husband and wife so Bonnie was nervous as hell. She didn't even know why would she even get nervous by a kiss.

As Bonnie close her eyes, Devon's lips touched hers. It was soft and short kiss. They both looked into each other's eyes with so much emotions.

The two was knocked from their reverie as the guests applauded because they were officially married.

"Congratulations to the newly wed!" The people shouted as they throw rice as it meant to symbolize the rain of prosperity and good fortune and it is part of the tradition.

And so it begins...

Date: (Past), September 02, 2016, Normal day as a married couple.

It has been 2 years since the day they tied the knot. But. everyday seems to be the same. Nothing has changed at the span of two years. They were just other normal couple who sleep together, have intercourse at times, wake up then go to work.

Both of them decided to focus most of their time in working because of their early marriage. To be honest, they were somewhat pressured to be married. As a result, they didn't look into the perspective of their career previously. The idea of having a child wasn't in their priority at the moment. They expected to boost their positions up easily but in reality, it wasn't. You have to start from the bottom and have to strive hard to get what they dreamed earlier in life.

"Morning Bon!," Devon said just as he woke up beside Bonnie and kissed her forehead.

"Morning" She replied.

"Hey, come let's get some breakfast," Devon stated, standing up from the bed they were in. They sleep in the same room and sleep in the same king sized bed. They were married anyway.

"I won't be able to make some today. I have to get to work early today," Bonnie said as they make their way outside the bedroom.

"Why? do you have something to do today?,"

"Yes, we have some planning to do today. I have to get early in the studio since I'll be the one preparing the materials and sketches for the main architect."

"Oh okay, then I'll just buy breakfast on my way to work today," Devon replied. He didn't know how to do any of the household chores because since he was little, there was always someone who make things for him. So, he concentrated more on enhancing his intellect and social skills.

"Ok then, I'll just shower then head to work," She said

Devon, on the other hand, was working as a regular employee in a well-known company. It was the same company that produced various gadgets and household items as well as owning the famous 5 star residences in the country.

Both of them got into well-known companies easily since they belong to the top graduates in the University but the competition inside the company was head-to-head. There were many who were top graduates as well.

As Bonnie got out of the shower, it was Devon's turn to take a bath. They get ready for work without saying a word to each other.

They focus too much on their work that they forgot each other's company sometimes making them talk less. Both of them have high ambitions in achieving their goals. They got used to being the best of the best. Their only priority as of that moment was to have a high position and have a good career since they already have the married life.

As they go like this everyday, they became accustomed to it. Little by little they talk less and less to each other even when they get home at night. What they didn't know was, this kind of action would have a great effect in their life.
