Our Faithful Encounter

" Can you... Forgive me?" Hunter averted his eyes as he asked. He was too ashamed to look at her but he believed that she was his destiny. His one mistake was going to cost him his life. His most beautiful love. His beloved wife. However, for Grace, this was the most absurd situation. Hunter was the last person she would expect to marry. She couldn't understand how this type of man was standing in front of her as her husband. She still couldn't forget that dark night he lurked her into life! Moreover, he acted so well in front of her that even she was beginning to fall for him! Her cold eyes surveyed him. With a hint of contempt and vigilance in them. They were dark and questioning. Still hiding the faint fears of that night. After meeting Grace, Hunter's life changed. He reunited with his family and apologised to them and everyone he owes to. Then he thanked his friends and broke off contact with them. He embarked on a journey of atonement by enlisting in the military. He spent four years on it. Then he come back and finally started living like a normal person. Now people call him a kind person and a gentleman. He began training in the military to be like his ancestors. And now he was a captain of the special forces. Grace went to study abroad after that incident. She came back a few months ago. She was very alienated from the world. She never fell in love nor was she interested. But knew that marrying was an important part of life. Moreover, she knew she might never fall in love so when her family wanted her to have an arranged marriage with a well-respected military family, she agreed. She just wanted to meet that person to make sure he was as good as her family said. Either way, she was already halfway in as soldiers have always held a special place in her heart. Grace doesn't ask for love but she wants absolute loyalty. She wants a gentleman like her father. A person with clear and good morals.

Chapter 22: You And I.

Hunter took his guitar and sat in front of Grace. There was a stool hidden somewhere. He took it out and sat on it.

Then he played the song 'Beautiful In White' on the guitar. This was one of his favourite songs. He likes soft music.

He played seriously for around 4 minutes. When he stopped, he looked up at Grace. She was also looking at him. She told him.

" You play well. It was a good song. I liked it."

" Glad to hear that. It's from a song. Beautiful in White by Westlife."

" I didn't know that. I've never heard it before."

" It's a good song. Why don't you play something now?"

" I don't feel like playing. I feel tired. But it is relaxing to hear music."

Hunter felt that it was a pity he couldn't hear her play. But he felt glad that she liked what he played so he asked her.

" Then do you like the music I play? Do you like soft songs?"

" Yeah."

Hunter smiled and asked her again.

" How about I sing this song for you? I sing sometimes with my comrades. They say I have a good voice so I don't think I'll bore you."

" ...Okay." Grace was surprised but she was in the mood to hear a soft song.

" Then, here I go."

Hunter adjusted a little and cleared his throat. Then he started playing the guitar. Finally, when the singing part came, he sang in a beautiful and charming voice.

" Not sure if you know this

But when we first met

I got so nervous I couldn't speak

In that very moment

I found the one and

My life had found its missing piece

So as long as I live I love you

Will have and hold you

You look so beautiful in white

And from now 'til my very last breath

This day I'll cherish

You look so beautiful in white

Tonight

And if a daughter is what our future holds

I hope she has your eyes

Finds love like you and I did

Yeah, and if she falls in love, we'll let her go

I'll walk her down the aisle

She'll look so beautiful in white, yeah yeah

So beautiful in white

So as long as I live I love you

Will have and hold you

You look so beautiful in white

And from now 'til my very last breath

This day I'll cherish

You look so beautiful in white

Tonight... "

Grace listened silently to him. Hunter sang so deeply that he didn't think about anything else. Only when the song ended, Hunter remembered where he was and who was with him. He got a bit embarrassed. Before he could say anything, he heard Grace.

" You have a very beautiful voice. It's very deep. And the song was also amazing. I liked the lyrics. They were purely beautiful."

Hunter actually felt a little shy getting complimented. He tried to shake it off with a smile.

" Thank you."

Hunter saw that it was getting colder. He was worried she would catch a cold. He wanted to say to go back but seeing that she was enjoying herself, he didn't want to spoil the fun. There was a shawl in a cupboard on the terrace. He took it out and let her wear it.

Grace was surprised but took it. She said thank you. They sat back down. It was really getting cold. Grace felt the soft shawl and the warmth made her feel good.

Then she thought he must be feeling cold too. After thinking for a moment, she offered him to share the blanket.

Hunter was surprised as he didn't expect that. But he agreed as he wanted to be closer to her. He went inside the shawl and sat beside her. The warmth was really amazing. It felt good. As they sat silently for a while, Hunter said.

" It will be sunrise in a while. The sunrise here is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Do you want to see it? Or we could go back as you seem sleepy."

" No. I want to see it. I like this atmosphere. I am just afraid I might fall asleep. I've been really tired today."

" Then... Let's talk so that you don't sleep."

" Hmm."
