I don't own the Basterds. i do however own Anna. Sorry if the German is a bit off. i'm still learning.
"Sie durfen jetzt die Braut Kussen (You may no kiss the bride.)" The best words besides "Ich mache (I do.) spoken all day. Hugo kissed me gently but with so much passion it about knocked me over.
"Kommen Sie Frau Stiglitz mit. Ich believe es gibt Wein und Kuchen warten auf uns. (Come along Mrs. Stiglitz. I believe there is wine and cake waiting for us.)" Hugo whispered in my ear. I smiled up at him and kissed him.
"Ich glaube, Sie sind richtig Mr Stiglitz (I do believe you are right Mr. Stiglitz.)" We walked down the aisle, hand in hand.
That's the first thing that pops into my mind whenever I think about Hugo, the wedding was a few years ago but I still remember every detail. Now I am standing in front of the man I love in his god awful German Nazi uniform.
"Ich liebe dich (I love you.)" I whispered, not wanting him to walk out that door.
"Ich liebe dich auch (I love you too.)" He kissed me just as passionately as he did when we got married. This felt like the lost time I would see him. "Ich bin bald Haupt (I'll be home soon.)" He promised.
"Sie verbessern, oder ich trete Sie in den shins (You better or I will kick you in the shins.)" I threatened with a watery smile. He smiled back and kissed me again.
"Ich liebe dich (I love you.)" He said, putting his hat on. I got on my tiptoes and made sure it was straight.
"Ich liebe dich auch .(I love you too.)" He left and I slid down to the floor as the tears fell in waves. That's how I stayed until my mother came to check on me a few hours later.
"Sind Sie okay? (Are you okay?) She asked. I looked up at her with tears still running from my eyes like a faucet.
"Was, wenn er nicht zurückkommt? (What if he doesn't come back?) I asked her.
"Er wird. Sie haben gesehen, wie stark er ist. Außer hat ihm etwas, zu nach Hause zu kommen. (He will. You've seen how strong he is. Besides he has something to come home to.)" She reminded me.
"Was, wenn das nicht genug ist? (What if that isn't enough?)" She didn't have an answer, just a sad smile. She went into the kitchen and made dinner for us. My mom is truly my best friend. She is always there for me. As we ate dinner we talked about when I was younger and all the childhood memories she had of me. Before it got dark, she left to go home and take care of my father. It seems he contacted a cold. I cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes. When that was done I went to bed. It seemed so much bigger without Hugo with me. I slept on his side and inhaled his scent from the pillow. After a few hours I finally fell asleep.
