I Don’t Speak Much
“WHAT?” Sarah asked.
“What do you mean what?” I replied. “Did I stutter?”
“No, I heard you clearly, but why!? Why her? You want to marry my pathetic silent of a sister over me!?? She’s never even talked!! How in the world do you expect to raise a family with someone so useless!!?”
“It doesn’t matter that she can’t speak. I love her, and that’s all that matters.”
“But-but SHES ALWAYS BEEN THE GOODIE TWO SHOES THAT MUMMY AND DADDY LOVED!!! She can’t get married before me!!! And not to someone as successful as you!!!”
“See, that’s the thing Sarah, I chose her over you, because you have a temper.” She was screaming at me to stay and marry her instead but I was already out the door and in the car before I could make out another word.
A week later, I proposed and she nodded yes.
A year after that she was walking down the aisle in the most gorgeous dress of all time walking straight towards me.
“Do you Katerano Saveano take Kasandra Clearwater to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
“I do.”
And do you Kasandra Clearwater take Katerano Saveano to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
I expect a nod but then she did the unimaginable...
“I do.”
She spoke.
