Nervous?

Marriage bureau

Sitting on a metal bench, Silvia and Kevin were patiently waiting for their turn.

" Nervous?" Kevin asked.

Silvia shook her head and said," May be a little."

" You don't have to be nervous." Kevin said.

" Aren't you nervous? I mean marriage is a huge thing. Things are gonna change after you get married and-"

" What change? See nothings gonna change so don't freak out. You are free to do anything you want to. No restrictions from my side." Kevin said.

" But still we don't know each other. I mean practically we are still strangers." Silvia said.

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes I know but we can spend more time together after we get married and know about each other."

" But-"

" Mr Austin Ms Green please come inside." A middle aged lady said.

Kevin took a deep breath and asked," Ready?"

After thinking for a while, Silvia nodded her head and said," Ya."

Grabbing her hand, Kevin started walking inside the cabin.

After almost an hour, Silvia and Kevin walked out of the bureau along with their marriage certificates.

"The rings arrived yesterday. We can wear it after we reach home." Kevin said.

Opening the car door for Silvia, Kevin said," Sit."

After helping her buckle up her seat belt, Kevin boarded the car and asked," Still nervous?"

Silvia shook her head and said," Not anymore."

" Even if you are, you cannot do anything about it because we are already married and now you are my wife. Hmm basically you are Mrs Austin now."

Running her fingers on the seat belt, Silvia said," Hmm I know."

" Alright let's go." Kevin said before starting the engine.

….

After almost half an hour drive, Kevin stopped in front of a two-storey house.

" You can get down I'll just park the car." Kevin said.

Silvia nodded her head and stepped out of the car.

After parking the car, Kevin said," This is our house. Wait a second." before taking out the keys.

Passing the keys to Silvia, Kevin said," Catch it."

After Silvia took the keys from his hand, she gasped when Kevin scooped her into his arms.

"Kevin." Silvia said before wrapping her arms around his neck.

" I know everything is rushed but since we are married now, let's at least follow traditions." Kevin said.

" Ahhh my boy you are back." An old lady shouted before rushing towards them.

Kevin smiled and said," Yes grandma I am back."

The old lady pointed towards Silvia and asked," Is she the one?"

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes she is my wife Silvia and Silvia she is Mrs Robinson our neighbour."

Pinching Silvia's cheeks, Mrs Robinson said," She is so pretty much better than that woman."

Kevin sighed and said," Okay Grandpa now I am gonna go and take my bride inside and you don't forget to come tonight for the party. I am making your favourite buffalo wings."

Mrs. Robinson chuckled and said," Yes Yes sure I'll be there on time."

After bidding Mrs Robinson goodbye, Silvia said," You can put me down Kevin otherwise your back will hurt."

" You forgot what I had told you before, didn't you?" Kevin asked.

Pausing for a while, Kevin said," I have a habit of lifting heavy sacks for a really long time so you are a piece of cake for me." Before walking towards the door.

" Open it. The third key." Kevin said.

After inserting the right key, Silvia pushed the door open and they both entered the house.

….

Inside the house.

Looking around, Silvia smiled when she saw how beautiful the interior of the house was. 

The living area was quite big and had a big couch placed in the middle. The walls were covered with beautiful paintings and some pictures. There was a kitchen, a laundry room and a guest room.

" Our bedroom is upstairs." Kevin said.

' Our bedroom' Silvia tightened her grip around his neck when she realised that she has to share a room with him.

Walking upstairs, Kevin cleared his throat and said," Silvia I said I have a habit of carrying heavy sacks but I never said that I have a habit of getting choked. So can you please loosen your arms around my neck?"

" Ahh I am so sorry." Silvia said.

" It's fine." Kevin said.

…

Kevin's room.

After entering the room, Kevin placed her down and said," So this is our room. I have already cleared out half of my stuff from the wardrobe. So there is enough space for you. The dressing table is empty along with the drawers so you can put all your girly stuff there. The third and fourth shelf in the washroom is empty as well. The sheets, pillow cases and curtains are all new, so you don't have to worry about that."

" Thanks." Silvia said.

Scratching his forehead, Kevin said," Just saying that whenever Emily used to stay over, she never used this room. She used to stay in the guest room downstairs. So this room was basically mine alone."

Silvia smiled and nodded her head. Knowing that Emily had never slept in this room, Silvia felt a bit relieved. 'But why?' Silvia thought.

Brushing away all the strength thoughts, Silvia asked," Kevin what's your favourite colour?"

" Blue. Why?" Kevin asked.

Silvia helplessly shook her head and said," Hmm nothing."

" Okay you freshen up I'll go get your bags." Kevin said before walking out of the room.
