'You are the light to my darkness,
The rhythm to my heartbeat
From this day, I cannot be alone
Because I will be at your side
The opposite forces of the world come together as one
You'll never have to cry alone again
With you I am whole
Love is never wrong
Love will find a way '
Aga looked down, her blue eyes tearing up, she looked down and then back up to meet the golden eyes in front to her. She smiled,
'I love you' she mouthed as he slipped the ring on her finger. The ceremony ended with the kiss and the monks cheered.
'Well, that was the strangest wedding I've ever attended.'
'Samir' Aga cried and hugged him.
'A waterbender and a firebender, it's a powerful love you have, the love of the opposites.'
'The wedding was your idea. One of your better ones if I do say so' Soluz put his hand on her should.
'Yes, it's you we must thank for convincing us to start our own life away from the divides of the world and after this dance perhaps you and Ketu will escort us to this house on the island before the one with eastern air temple-Delination Island.'
'Is that where our honeymoon is?' Smiling she looked up at him over her shoulder. His porcelain skin on her tanned shoulders; he smirked. She turned back to Samir 'He won't tell me, were we're going
'Oh no, that's our house, which I thought we'd drop by before we went to the most beautiful hotel in all the crystal city of Ba Sing Se' her eyes widened.
'Oh Soluz, you didn't' her gentle face smiled at the soft rays of light made her chestnut hair shine. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He pulled his head back and whispered in her ear:
'So my dear, what about that dance?'
1 Year later.
There was a knock at the door. Aga dragged herself out of the bed and put her dressing gown on. It had been weeks since he had left to see his brother in the firenation. She had wished the thousandth time that night she had looked were she was going and hadn't fallen. Then her leg wouldn't have been in that state and she could have joined him. It had got better now. She had sent letters to the address he had left her but had had no reply. And now in the beginning of the third week of his absence he had returned to her at last. She took the handle and made a sweeping movement as she opened the door. Her smile immediately fell as she looked into the eyes of Samir who stood dripping in the doorway.
'I think you need to sit down, Aga' Aga stopped pouring the tea and came over. She had always been able to keep herself calm, composed whilst Soluz always flew off the handle about everything. She was always there to calm him down and now she just as collected as always fighting the unease she felt inside. She said down at the table opposite Samir.
'There is no easy way to tell you this Aga-'he stopped and took a breath 'but Soluz family wanted me to tell you personally. She sat holding his stare, in silence, not moving, waiting. 'Soluz is dead. They found his body. He was ambushed, targeted as a lone traveller.' She kept his gaze despite the stab of guilt. The shock hadn't quite worn off. 'They were firebenders, that's all we know about them. He was badly burnt and died from his injuries. I'm so sorry' Aga looked at him. 'Cry…it's alright. You can cry' She shook her head, Samir could see her shaking from across the table.
'He said I would never have to cry alone' her voice was cracked and wobbly.
'You're not alone' His hands reached out across the table and finally she broke eye contact.
'Then I have to tell you something now before the shock wears off'
'Samir' she whispered 'I'm going to have a baby'
