270 Woya gets a proposal 2
Uzil is relieved that he can now ask the father for permission to be with Woya without any objections from her sons. He decides to slip away to seek an audience with the father.
Molimo stays behind to enjoy the family gathering and to get reacquainted with his sister. Woya notices that Dove is wanting her uncle to herself and not really wanting to share him. She smiles at the little girl thinking how much like Salali she is. Molimo comes to sit with his mother for a chat.
"Mother, may I ask you something?" He asks with hesitation.
"of course, but I don't know if there is much left for you to know." Woya answers.
"If my father asks for your hand, will you give it to him?" He looks too anxious as she thinks a moment.
"I am not a young woman anymore, and I only have a few years left. I want to be with him but I do not want him to see me die after only a few years. I remember when the demon was attached to me that he said I had only five years left. That is not a very long time , especially when I missed so many years with my children. If he can accept that I want to spend as much time as I can with them and be able to face the fact that I have a very short time left then yes I will. You know that love is not black or white it has a lot of varying shades of grey. It is in those grey areas that we are tested to see what we are made of. I failed miserably these last thirty years. I want to make the most of the time I have left so that I can pass on with no regrets and so that the father can accept me into Paradise. That is all that I want for now, when I was young I was a kind and loving girl but after losing you I became selfish from my grief. I did not just want my children that I bore with my husband I also wondered about you. I often wondered if you were being loved and cherished, how you are conceived is not important, it how you see yourself and how you are loved . I had very little love growing up and so wanted to give all I could to my children but I fell short because I did not have all of my children and my knowledge of love was not very vast. Your sister-in-laws have not had an easy life but they know one thing and that is how to love. They both have given my children so much love that it has changed them both on the inside and how they treat others. I never learned that but I am learning now from them. You should spend some time with them and let them help you learn to love it will open not just your heart but a world of possibilities." Woya tells her oldest son sincerely laying her heart open. She did not even notice that everyone had stopped talking to listen to what she was saying. Aisling and Remi's hearts swelled with love and pride that their mother in law has accepted them. Steve was grinning with pride at hearing someone say such wonderful things about his girls. Astila and his siblings were touched by the fact that their mother spoke unguarded and honestly, something they have never heard her do before. Inola felt like he is seeing for the first time the woman his brother fell in love with. Woya looks up when Crystal hugs her and says.
"Thank you grandmother for saying that. For so long I resented how I was conceived and worried that if I fell in love with someone they would not love me because of it. " looking at her uncle Molimo she tells him.
"I was a result of an attack that nearly killed my mom and sent her to a mental ward. For the first five years of my life my mother never spoke. She and her family showed me love but I was still a cause for pain. Aisling and my other family loved me dearly and took great care of me but it wasn't until my daddy arrived that I freed myself to truly love someone. He protected me from the moment we met and loved me unconditionally. They all did but it was expected from them Daddy did not have to love me because I was not his but he did. The day he said he would be my Daddy was the happiest of my life. You will feel like that someday I'm sure of it." Crystal hugs her uncle Molimo reassuring him that in time he will have what he wants.
meanwhile Uzil is waiting in the garden of the father to see him. His heart flutters as the warmth of the father being near spreads through him.
"Uzil I know what you want and I have no objections as long as you obey and do what I need you to do. I will tell you though that the woman you love only has a short time left on earth. As long as she stays on the path she is on now she will be welcomed into paradise and then she will be able to be with you for eternity. I thought about making you live as a human until her time has passed but I need you to teach the children. So you will be given special permission to be married as you are. Remember to use your powers for good and do not get to greedy and ask for more time when her time comes. Just remember that her transition from mortal realm to the spirit realm is short by comparison to the millennia you have already lived. Go now and enjoy the time you will have with her. Watch over the children with the others, learn to love , you will surprise yourself at how it can truly change you." The father tells Uzil. Uzil kneels before the father in gratitude for his decision when he rises torush back to the family. The father stops him.
"Give this as her wedding ring, it will protect her and connect her to you even when I have need of you. " the father hands him a ring Uzil looks at it in awe that the father gave him such a present. Thanking him again he takes his leave to go see his bride.
when Uzil arrives back at the house Uktena sees his happiness, he knows that the father agreed to the marriage. Uzil walks nervously towards Woya . When he reaches her he kneels before her, taking her hand he asks.
"Woya I have loved you since I first saw you. I know that I did some horrible things in the past and I promise to try and make up for each of them. I want to ask you if you will marry me and allow me to make amends for all my wrong doings. I love you completely."
Woya looks at Uzil and nods yes , tears are threatening to fall out of sheer happiness. Uzil takes out the ring that the Father prepared. It is a platinum band with etched wings where the wings meet there is a cluster of different stones making up a star shape. Each stone is highly polished and brilliantly cut. There is a diamond in the center with emerald, onyx,sapphire, garnet,jasper and amethyst each stone has healing and protection properties. Slipping the ring on her finger Uzil kisses her grand sealing their love . A loud cheer erupted and all the ladies crowded around Woya to see the ring Uzil presented to her. They knew that it was gifted to them by the father and the moment that Uzil gave it to her they were joined. Salali hugs Uzil and tells him.
"Welcome to our crazy but loving family. You know that Dove and the other children already calls you grandfather so even if you had not proposed to mother you are family. " Salali hugs her mother and congratulates her. Astila and Aisling come over to the couple and hugs them. Aisling asks Woya .
"Mother what type of wedding would you like, my family are experts in quick weddings. You can do a hand fasting, a Christian wedding or a Cherokee wedding. You know poor Astila had to go through all three while Yona settled for just a hand fasting with registering the license at the courthouse. Salali and Randy did a small wedding as well. " Woya looks at Uzil wondering with him being a celestial entity would there even be a record of him. Uktena walks over and hugs his brother and tells Aisling.
"Since the father gave his blessing and gave Uzil a sacred piece of jewelry for her. The moment she said yes and it was placed on her finger they were married there is nothing else needed unless they want a ceremony of some kind." Aisling smiles brightly at that fact that her mother in law will not need to wait to begin her new life. Astila and Yona look at Uzil and wonder if he knew that instead of asking her to marry him that they were actually getting married on the spot. Uzil guessing what they are thinking looks at them and tells Woya.
"My darling though I am happy that technically you are already my wife in the eyes of the Father. If you wish to wait and have a mortal ceremony we can. I do not want you to have any doubts about us or my feelings for you. I love you beyond measure and will do what you wish." Hearing this the two men's hearts are put at ease. Woya looks at Uzil and asks.
"I never was allowed a proper ceremony before because of not being pure. Would you mind if we have a family ceremony and celebration. One of just the family no outsiders need to attend. " Uzil agrees and kisses Woya tenderly. Woya looks at Aisling and asks
"will call for your Uncle the minister to come back to perform the service. He can come the normal way there is no rush. I know you all were planning to leave so that the children can go back to school. So can we do it the Saturday before you leave?" Woya looks at her sons and they agree. That will give them some time to prepare everything. Astila looks at how happy his mother is and for the first time in his life her smile shines in her eyes and he is relieved.
