PROLOGUE

Love...

The beginning is different for everyone. Some go through it many times with different people and finally find their true half, but, some go through it just once. How lucky these people are, right?

The journey to find a happy ending is also different for each person. Although sometimes there are similarities only those who go through it know what they are facing.

These two people are no exception. They have never known each other all their lives, have never faced each other before, but only because of a small mistake, one night on an island, they accidentally bonded with each other...

"Mr. Dylan, do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live? "

Both the bride and groom, with faces red from being a bit drunk as they are drinking at the bar, now look at each other in the eyes.

The priest in charge of marrying the couple patiently awaits an answer even though he is in a rush to move on to his next schedule which requires him to leave the small church he manages here.

"I do."

After a minute, the groom finally issued his consent, making the priest smile and look toward the present bride.

"Ms. Eva, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"

The same question was asked to the bride and once again, the priest patiently awaited the answer.

The priest never does a wedding ceremony in such a rush like this, but after getting a call from the couple and hearing their heartbreaking love story, he and one of his assistants, a nun, agreed to perform this wedding ceremony, even lending the wedding dress is indeed available at the church to this couple even though they need to be elsewhere for another occasion. The bride takes a long time to answer, but in the end, she also said the same,

"I do."

The priest nodded with a smile after listening to that and proceeded with the wedding ceremony smoothly afterward.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

The nun is checking every document that both the bride and groom need to bring home carefully in the meantime. The bride and groom began to bring their faces closer to each other... Closer and closer... before,

"Eva!"

"Dylan!"

Suddenly a man and a girl enter the church and run toward the bride and groom whose kiss has been interrupted. The girl, who is the bride's best friend looked at the bride with round eyes before pinching her friend's face.

"Eva, are you okay? I've been searching for you ever since. We need to go fast or our flight will be missed!"

"Zara?" Eva started to wake up a little and then started talking.

"Let's go!" Zara who is in a state of rushing and does not even question the condition of her friend who looks like the bride continues to pull her friend's hand to pass away. Both of them can't afford to miss their flight!

The nun appropriately puts the wedding certificate in the bride's bag and ran up to both of the girls to give that.

"Thanks!" Eva, who is still a bit drunk said that to the nun with a smiling face while getting dragged by Zara who didn't care a bit about anything right now.

Meanwhile, with the groom,

"What the heck happened to you man? Suddenly disappear after the foolish bet. And what are you wearing? " Jack started nagging as he saw there was a flower in the front pocket of Dylan's coat at that time.

Dylan instantly had a pretty terrible headache and started sitting on the floor now while holding his head.

The rushing priest and the nun approached the two men and also gave the same documents that had been given to the girl before.

"Excuse me. This is the certificate. We hope your marriage will always be in happiness."

The confused Jack, took the document while watching the priest and the nun exit the church before Dylan, who cannot hold back his growing headache suddenly fainted at the same time.

"Dylan!"

Only Jack's voice echoed there in the end.
