《Our Ancient Love》Chapter 36: Pre-wedding Jitters
Advertisement
Everything and everyone in the house was quiet. There wasn't a sound that could be heard even from the outside. Why am I still awake? I'll be tired in the morning. It was about 2:30 in the morning and I haven't even shut my eyes yet. Was I tired? Of course I was, but my nerves was keeping me awake.
Suddenly I hear a light snore. I quickly look in the direction of the sound and it came from Ahk. He was sleeping so peacefully. He was sleeping so soundly as if we weren't going to get married in less than 12 hours.
I sigh and climb out of bed. I slowly walk down the stairs trying not to wake anyone. I walk over to the kitchen and grab a cup from the cabinet. I fill it with water and take a sip. I look around the dark kitchen and the dark living room. The only light that was visible was the moonlight and the streetlights. I feel a kick and look down at my stomach. I smile and put my hand where the kick came from.
I put the cup down and walk over towards the windows. I look to see the quiet, peaceful street in front of me. I have so many memories of being in that street with my friends as a child, playing tag and riding our bikes up and down the street. I smile and suddenly realize how fast time flies and almost panic at how my life has changed so much. I look up at the moonlight and remember that day so many years ago when I first told Ahk that I was pregnant. Now hear I am, in a new life. Pregnant and engaged.
"My love, why are you still awake?" Ahk yawns.

I almost scream at the sudden sound that filled the quiet room.
"Sorry. I just can't sleep. I'm nervous about today," I say.
"What's there to be nervous about? We've done this before. The only difference is that there's no tradition."
"I know. It's just that-." I stop and think. I didn't even have a good reason why I was so nervous about getting married. If I was so nervous then why couldn't I explain it? "Ahk I'm sorry. I just can't really explain why I'm so nervous. I just am and it's keeping me awake."
Ahk walks over to me and hugs me tightly. It's been awhile since he's hugged me. He's given me light kisses every once in awhile but a hug is what I've been needing and what I've been missing.
"You'll be alright. We'll get through this together."
He grabs my hand and we both walk up the stairs and back into my room. He pulls the sheets back so I can lay down. He pulls the sheets onto me so that it covers me. He goes around the bed and climbs in to the other side. He wraps his arms around me and gives me a kiss on my cheek.
"Goodnight, my love," he whispers.
"Goodnight," I whisper back.
I stare at my bedroom wall for a good 5 minutes before eventually closing my eyes and getting some well-deserved sleep.
