The Goddess asks him. {"I'll grant you one wish. Tell me, what do you wish for?"}
He laughs. {"You won't be able to grant my wish anyway so I'll just think of other things."}
{"A goddess can't grant your wish?"}
{"You can't.}
{"How so?"}
{"Then.. can I be with her?"}
{"...."}
{"See?"} He chuckles. {"This is why I said you can't grant it. It's selfish and ridiculous. So other than that stupid wish of mine. Then I wish to never cross paths with her in the future, at least i don't have to endure this obsession again in my next lifetime right?"}
{"I grant you your wish."}
As the vision disappears, I was pulled back in to face the moon goddess in front of me. The well beside her glowing, she said, "It's time."
I frowned.
So.. Charles's wish was to never meet me again?
"Child, do not mistake love for pity. Just like how Death and rebirth are different, misunderstandings usually cause a bigger misunderstanding."
"I got it." I sighed. "But before I go, there's the last thing I wanted to ask."
"What is it?"
"What happened after we both disappeared? What happened to the others?" My eyebrow furrowed in puzzlement.
"Naturally, all will return to the way how it once before the curse took place. Since the devil's vessel got reincarnated, the authority of the heavens was given back to the gods thus regulated the weather to how it once before. It was such a huge relief that you shot Charles since we were also having problems with how to stop the Devil from getting a mortal body. Don't worry, I've taken care of everything regarding my creations."
I just briefly nodded.
I couldn't explain what I was feeling. It was fear yet I was happy to see the decisions I made to lead to this outcome. Even though i was still a bit worried about how to find Zyrus in our next lifetime. I keep remembering his words and just chose to naturally believe in him.
I don't know what he wished for but I hope it's not anything concerning.
She gave me one last smile before I jumped on the well.
*****
Because of the wish that the Moon Goddess granted for me. I was able to retain my memories even after living my next life as a human in another world. Just like she said, I was born into a great family, my brother, Jason in the past was also reincarnated as my brother in that lifetime.
So as soon as I grew up as a child, immediately smacked his head playfully.
"Ow! Why did you hit me lil sis?" My brother pouts.
"Coz you keep drank my milk duh."
"What?" He says with a puzzled look.
I just laughed at his expression.
It was everything that I could ask for. Although he had no memories of me anymore, it was enough to grow and see him meet the girl he loves again in this lifetime. Since she was from another town, my brother often goes to her place to have dates with her.
Until eventually, my brother proposed to her.
I was happy for them. Since they helped me in my past life, I was willing to also give it all I got as I prepared for their wedding even if they didn't want to trouble me. I prepared the most beautiful wedding that even I have imagined with Zyrus as my groom.
How about Zyrus? Well, i can't find him yet. I've tried any means to find him but was still left with nothing but questions. In the end, I depended on his promise that he made.
For Zyrus never broke his promises before.
As we all waited for the groom and bride to come, my eyes widened when I saw Jason pop up beside me. I almost jumped out in shock. "Geez! what are you still doing here? go there, your bride may come at any moment now!"
I pinched his ear. He exclaims. "Ow ow! How can I leave when I still haven't seen you get married?"
"What?!" I fumed. "Don't tell me you're planning to ditch your bride! I swear to god-"
"Hey sis." Lily appears beside him. I was even more shocked than before. The bride should be in her room preparing for herself not here beside the groom!
"W-What are the both of you doing in here?!" I gasped.
They were both sitting at where the guest should be sitting at their wedding. Yet even when i screamed that with so much intensity, the people around us don't seem surprised.
As if they already knew that two would appear beside me.
"Here wear this." Lily puts the veil on me, and even gives me the bouquet of roses before throwing me out to the red aisle. To think that i was even wearing a white gown right now was too much of a coincidence.
The both of them must've planned this!
I'll beat Jason's ass after this.
At the same moment that I was about to lash at the both of them for belittling my preparations, the wedding song played out. I was stiffened on my spot, as the people all sat down in sync. Their smiles creeping me out as they looked at the person who is supposed to be my partner at this moment.
If I am the bride.
Then who the fuck is the groom?!
When I followed their gaze, my jaw drops instantly. Standing beside the priest was Zyrus teary-eyed face, his hands placed at his back, he stares back at me with a smile on his face.
"Z-Zyrus?" I covered my mouth in shock, my tears falling as I realized why he was looking at me with the same eyes as I was making.
He.. did he also wish for our memories to stay with him?
I didn't even care anymore, the only thing that I can see was Zyrus who was really in front of me.
He's really here!
I threw the bouquet of flowers in the air and ran towards him. Wrapping my hands around him as he catches me, all the sadness and frustrations I had before all seemed to vanish.
All because of this man.
"You!" I smacked his shoulder. "How could you plan our wedding like this!"
He chuckles, his arms still around my waist. "A bride should slowly walk towards the groom during a wedding, why are you in a rush my love?"
I smacked him again. "I tried finding you but I can't! how could you just appear like this!"
He then grabs both of my wrists. "I had to prepare everything before I can be with you again, I was still a child when I saw you in this lifetime. If I were to appear before you, you would've made fun of the big bad alpha being a small child."
I chuckled, he was right.
But still! I really missed him so much! can't he at least let me know that he's alive?
"Hmph."
"Is my bride angry?" He chuckles, embracing me despite the priest's expression beside us. The priest didn't know what to do since we were in our own world without caring about any of them.
I chuckled. "Stop, everyone's watching us right now."
"That's fine, at least they get to see how much I love my bride right now."
I smiled.
"Only right now?"
"Forever. I've only loved my bride, now and forever." He pulls away and was about to kiss me if it weren't for my finger stopping him.
"Hold up,"
I looked towards the priest and ushered for him to go on. He was confused but he soon understood that he didn't even need to ask us if we accept each other. He simply ended the ceremony by saying.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
As soon as he said that, Zyrus didn't waste any more time and placed his soft lips into mine. My arms wrapping around his neck, while he placed his palms around my waist.
I remembered the Goddess's words.
{"There's no such thing as a bad ending, it just means that your story is just about to begin."}
When we pulled away from each other, we both smiled.
Seeing him right now, I still couldn't believe it. This much happiness was given to me after all those sufferings we had to endure. Those countless arguments and fights that we had all seem like a distant memory now.
Everyone was happy for us, but more than that. More than anyone we knew, we know that no one is happier but us at that moment.
"I love you, Christal." He whispers in my ear.
I chuckled, leaning also in his. I tiptoed a bit due to his height. I said with the happiest tone I could make. "I love you too Zyrus!"
