Rebecca's POV

I could hear his voice. I was being dragged to the other side but I heard him calling. I couldn't block out his sorrowful voice. He was in distress. I will not leave this earth knowing he didn't get the happiness he deserved. I headed forward to the light that was pursuing me. I felt lifeless and cold but suddenly I felt a warm embrace overcome me. It was pacifying and I felt life again. I wanted this cuddle to last.

"Take me instead" I heard him cry in prayer. "No!" I whispered and he got off his knees and that's the first I have ever seen him like this. Eyes violently red, swollen and moist from all the strenuous crying. "Becca!" He screamed. "I love you. Don't ever leave me again!" He cried as he embraced me. It was his hug that brought me back. I was weak but I wrapped my arms around him with every strength left inside me. I cried but no tears fell. I guess I was really tired. He let go and I suddenly felt cold again. "Come back!" I whispered. "I will but I have to get a doctor. You don't look so good" He announced but kissed my lips before he went through the door. Few seconds later, he came back with another guy. "Rebecca, am Dr. Smith" He introduced. "But... You are not my doctor" I declared. "Correct. You still have your memory. That's good. Am Mr. Clarke's personal doctor and he hired me to give you superlative treatment to ensure your health isn't at risk." He announced. I nodded faintly. "Now Rebecca, I want you to try and open your eyes fully" He ordered. I tried to open it but they wouldn't follow my intention. "Becca, you can do this! You're a fighter." I saw Jerome smiled and I felt assured. My confidence and strength was regained. I used my utmost competence until they flung wide open. The doctor flicked the switch on a small flashlight and shone it in my eyes. It was too bright. My eyes fell shut again. I breathed in exasperation. "Try again" I heard Jerome say. I warned my body to do everything I commanded it and I slowly slid my eyelids open and the bright light hit my pupils and I didn't blink once. "Very good, Rebecca. You are making progress. Are you in any pain?" The doctor asked me. "No. Just tired" I told them both. "We'll let you get some rest. Be back later." The doctor said but Jerome stayed behind. "Becca" He breathed. "Rome" I breathed back. "Am sor..." "Shhh. Doesn't matter. You're alive that's all I care about." He interrupted me. "You can't be here right now! You have a wedding in about 2 hours" I declared looking out the window to see the sun rising. "Go and be the husband you always wanted to be" I demanded. I took the object out of my pocket and gave it to him. He looked at the ring he gifted to me five years ago. I tried not to let the tears fall as I am pushing him unto another woman. He deserves happiness. "Go to your wedding" I whispered. "How could there be a wedding without a bride?" He asked me and I was puzzled. "Marry me, Rebecca" He proposed. I blinked twice trying to comprehend what he asked me. "Are you..." I stuttered. "Yes. I am proposing to you again at the same place where you told me you loved me and accepted my proposal five years ago." He reminisced "Yes! I will marry you" I screamed and he embraced me and slid the ring back unto my finger. I kissed him with all my might. The tears finally fell from both our eyes. I fell asleep in his warm embrace and I realized that he didn't attend his wedding but rather, he stayed here with me. As his wife.
