She looked up to her mother in the skies and begged her for the strength she felt a warm breeze and was assured her prayers were heard and her mother was in acceptance of what she was about to do tomorrow.
Hendrick too was not at ease but he was certain he was doing whatever he was doing for the betterment of his family, and it was to make his mother have a better life and for all her sacrifices. He too had cold feet because he was trying so hard not to go back on his word, he felt he had a little like for her, he did not want to say the love word so fast because he wasn't sure of his feelings. He just wanted to keep liking her till it turned into the big Love word he had always craved for.

The morning arrived and there was a knock on the door delivery of a white lily and a sticky note from her father saying"Go and have it all my little angel, it is with great joy to see you become the woman you have become today, I love you"
Love Dad
