At this moment, all she felt was her heartbeat stopped beating. For her, this was not imaginable. What is Jack doing here in this church?!
Her mouth was wide open because this was no less than any shock for her. Her legs were going to give up, if not for Anna who held her. But at this point, her brain stopped working because she wasn't able to recover from the shock that she had just bowed.
"Alena, are you alright my dear?" Anna asked her in a soft tone, to which she just slightly nodded her head but instead, she was in a deep state of shock and stroke.
'Am I dreaming about this all that is happening right now?' this was what she thought at first but before that, Alena rubbed her eyes once again to confirm whether what she is thinking is true or not.
But the same scene appeared in fro of her, for the second time as well.
Jack, whose eyes fell on the broken and the messy Alena, knew that she had run away just like that he had predicted. He was standing on his legs, and near him was Alex who wore formals for this occasion.
"W..what is this happening right now?" After retrieving from the shock that she just received, Alena was able to support her voice and ask it openly.
"Well, you are getting married, to save yourself or whatever you wish today, that is upon you." Anna didn't make it much complicated and answered it in a very simple tone.
She neither made it look extraordinary or lavish and kept it simple and sober but it was already guessed by Alena from the setup.
"W..where was Jack all the past days? Why did he never show up?" Alena's this question silences everyone.
Anna's eyes fled to Alex and Jack, immediately when she heard about this and it was quite obvious for her to not neglect.
She waited for Jack to show up, but he didn't and in the end, she was heartbroken.
After all, they never appeared when she needed them the most and because of it, she ended up running from everyone and everything which resulted in bad.
"Alena...that is a long story. We don't know how to explain it to you...but I g-" before she could have completed her own words, she was interrupted with Alena's stern voice.
"I asked Jack, not you Anna. It was his responsibility." Jack, who looked expressionless, felt his body stiff when her question was directed to him.
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head but somehow, he has to manage to calm his nerves and convince Alena, after all, she is his wife.
Walking towards her, he stood in front of her, trying to eat her soul through her eyes but no one moved even an inch away from her current position.
"I had my reasons and yeah, you are supposed to know them. I was on a mission and just to come back soon to you, I did commit a mistake and my carelessness resulted in my falling into a coma.
For the last two days, I was in a coma and it was just yesterday when I regained consciousness but.. because of some reasons, I wasn't allowed to walk for the next time." He stopped in the middle to see her reaction, which was conflicted and shocking
'H..He was in the coma for the past few days?' It wasn't easy to digest as she had guessed it earlier.
At first, she has abused him a lot in her mind because she felt that he has already abandoned for now but now, after learning that there were other misunderstandings that she has come across just now.
"I know that you have many questions to ask from me, where I was, what type of mission and everything. But Alena, I can only say that I'm a dangerous guy but for you, yes I'm ready to leave the side as well."
"Why?" he heard her unusual voice. She was scared and for some unknown reason, he felt that his heart tug hard. It was getting difficult for him to breathe seeing her like this.
"B..Because...you are my wife. I should do these things for my wife, ain't it? As usual, wife is like a queen, and we knights or you can call us as husbands, are told to follow the orders of the queen at a cost, isn't it?" At last saying, Jack laughed but at the same time, he was trying to ease the environment around them.
"I'm..your wife but you still didn't show up when I waned you to. I understand that you had your problem, but did you ever think about how much I had to undergo? What I had to hear from my parents?" Alena's this statement made everyone feel sad.
Her parents were forcefully getting her married to someone else and obviously, it wasn't as easy as one thinks. It was hurtful for a person and one has to endure a lot.
They were pretty noisy and it wasn't getting easy to wed Alena at Jack under these circumstances at all. Meanwhile, Anna patted Alena's back to bring her out of the daze to make her remember that they have limited time.
Although, Anna knew that Jack is a good guy and will keep Alena happy as always but she has to warn her, and obviously this marriage won't happen without her consult over at all.
"We all tried to do what we oil to help Jack come back to you and here he is. Your queries will be answered, last Jack is your husband and he will do everything as yr say. But for now, are you willing to marry him in the presence of the priest t and marry for real, not only for the legal purpose?"
