Everyone’s eyes turned to Agnes, filled with anticipation. Tonight, after changing out of her wedding dress, Agnes wore a strapless white gown with a fitted waist and a voluminous skirt. The dress revealed her shoulders and the skin on her back, with intricate floral details on the chest that added a touch of elegance while subtly covering her sensuality. She looked like a little princess in the spotlight.
Her collarbone and neck were exquisitely beautiful, creating a stunning visual effect. This gown was meticulously chosen from over a dozen high-end designs. “If I love you, it won’t be like the climbing trumpet vine, flaunting itself by clinging to your high branches,” she began, her pink lips parting as she gazed firmly at Tom, holding his hand tightly. Her voice trembled slightly with emotion.
The room fell silent as everyone was drawn into a new atmosphere, holding their breath. “If I love you, I won’t mimic the infatuated bird, repeating monotonous songs in the shade.” Oh my, this was practically a confession! Everyone’s hearts were lifted, their eyes sparkling with emotion.
Gradually, Agnes’s eyes focused solely on Tom. She ignored everyone else around them and continued speaking to him. “Nor will I be like the spring that offers cool comfort all year round, or like the towering peak that enhances your stature and complements your majesty.” Tom’s noble and elegant face was filled with deep affection as he held her hand tightly.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes as she recalled countless nights over the past seven years when she missed him so much it drove her mad. No one but herself knew how deeply she loved him.
Soft violin music began to play gently in the background, accompanying her poem and heightening the romantic atmosphere to its peak. Agnes’s lips curved into a slight smile as she gathered her emotions and said from the bottom of her heart, “Even sunlight and spring rain are not enough.”
Tom tightened his grip on her hand, feeling a pang of sorrow deep inside. He felt so sorry for those seven years. She continued, “I must be a kapok tree near you, standing together with you as trees do.”
Tom restrained his emotions, his eyes also brimming with tears as he listened to her continue. “Our roots tightly grip the ground; our leaves touch in the clouds.” “With every gust of wind, we greet each other silently; no one else understands our language.”
Somehow, many people present had tears in their eyes. Several girls discreetly wiped their tears away with their fingers. This was a poem they had learned in their first year of high school-a poem about love that reminded many of their own youth.
“We share cold waves, thunderbolts, and lightning strikes. We share misty fogs and colorful rainbows.” “Though we seem forever apart, we are eternally dependent on each other. This is true love; steadfastness lies here.”
At this moment, it seemed to awaken Agnes’s deepest love for Tom that had been buried in her heart for so long. Yes, she loved him very deeply! “Love not only your imposing figure but also your steadfast position and the land beneath your feet.”
How touching! Many people couldn’t help but shed tears. Tom spread his arms wide and embraced the girl tightly. He held her close; Tom felt sorrowful yet deeply moved.
Agnes couldn’t hold back anymore and let two crystal-clear tears fall. She felt her heart wrenching; she had loved him silently for seven years without any response or hope.
The applause that followed was even more thunderous than before! Everyone was moved and offered their blessings! Tom held her tightly in his arms, kissing her hair deeply while feeling both touched and apologetic.
He regretted being late for so many years… He vowed to cherish and protect her for the rest of his life!
