To make things clear for this part:
I am Yuki (Yumiko Kida)

Yuki: And now find out if Athrun shall say yes? Or no? In the last and final chapter of PUZZLE OF LOVE!
Kira: I can't believe Athrun is going to get married to that imposter!
Lacus: But isn't this story so emotional? --Sniffs--
Kira: He's making my sister cry again! --Grumbles--
Yuki: --sigh--Take it easy Kira
Kira: --plopped down the ground and sulked-- And I thought your Cagalli's best friend?

Athrun inhaled deeply and exhaled, he knew that if he says one wrong word, his life would end. He gathered his courage and faced Mia, he could only hope that she would understand the situation that he is in.
"Mia, I hope that you would understand what I am about to say" he started, taking a quick glance at Cagalli
Mia frowned, she knew it he loved someone else. She loved him yet now on the day that she would be with him even though he accepted the marriage because of his father's name. She was happy and now this. But then she knew that love can never be forced.
Before Athrun could even utter another word Mia spoke in a soft whisper
"Go Athrun" she said as she motioned to Cagalli "She's waiting" and with that she ran, tears flowing down her cheeks.
Cagalli and Athrun was both shocked "He's all yours" Cagalli heard Mia whisper when she ran out the church.
While Athrun stood there, looking at Cagalli as the last of her tears spilled. He felt awkward standing there; he thought that he was the one who would be running away.
The church was filled with an eerie silence until Max Campbell, Mia's dad screamed
"You bastard!" he pointed an accusing finger at Athrun "How dare you back out of the wedding?" he angrily asked
Athrun frowned he thought that it was just normal that parents act like this when their child's wedding turned into a disaster.
"Ignorant fool!" he screamed again
Then the guest started talking in hushed whisper even though Athrun heard most of it. The words that the guest uttered made his blood boil.
They talked about Cagalli to be exact, telling each other that it was the natural's fault that today turned out wrong. That she was an uninvited guest to this supposedly beautiful day.
"Such an ill-fated girl" he heard a man beside Max Campbell whisper
"Shut up!" Athrun barked "No one dares to talk about Cagalli like that!"
Cagalli was taken back by Athrun's sudden outburst. But the gossiping of the guest continued and became loader.
Athrun glared at his guests, he knew that nothing would change the current situation. Taking a risk, he sprinted out the church and caught Cagalli's wrist in the process. Cagalli yelped in surprise, usually she would complain and slap Athrun's hand or back but this time she obediently followed Athrun towards his black Lamborghini.
Cagalli managed to find her voice though it didn't sound like hers "Where are we going?" she managed out
Athrun inwardly winced at her voice, full of sorrow that he had caused but he knew that he was going to make up for his mistake now, to vow that they shall never be separated again.
"Just follow" he answered as he slightly pushed the blonde girl into his car, getting in and driving to the other side of the island where he could have his time alone with Cagalli.
The drive was quite, not a sound was made by both parties, and when it seemed like eternity, Athrun pulled over. They were in the outskirts of Orb, a beautiful meadow filled with different kinds of colorful flowers.
The sky had a mixture of oranges and blues, the moon slowly rising to its place in the night. Athrun led Cagalli to the meadow, the two standing in the middle of the colorful field as a soft breeze blew past them.
Cagalli narrowed her eyes into slits them slapped Athrun
"What do you want from me?" she angrily asked
Athrun's eyes widened as his right hand touched his stinging cheek, there was a moment of silence between the two. Both thinking of excuses they could utter for their own actions.
"I… I don't really kn-know" mumbled the blue-haired man
Cagalli fumed, he was wasting her time, dragging her out of the church and bringing her to a place in Orb that she wasn't familiar with.
"What do you mean you don't know!" she screamed "You drag me out here and say nothing!"
Athrun raised his head, seeing a spark of sadness in her eyes "I didn't bring you here for nothing!" Athrun slightly raised his voice
"Then what?" Cagalli demanded
"That I- I love you" he softly answered, looking at the small flowers surrounding his feet. He wished that she would understand, that he is truly sorry for all his actions.
"How dare you!" she got even angrier "You think that I'll just dive back into your arms right after what you put me into?" she asked, her breathe coming in quick short gasps.
She didn't even wait for Athrun's reply "Just because you ditched your wedding you can think that I would forgive you for leaving me?"
"How pathetic" she laughed dryly, streams of tears flowing out of her eyes
Athrun's control nearly snapped "Why really think that way?" he asked, yelling
"That I'm just playing with you?" he asked again, anger visible in his eyes "That I really don't mean that I love you?" he placed his hands roughly on Cagalli's shoulder, shaking her violently.
"Or would you rather have me married to her?" he asked, his own tears spilling. Dropping to his knees, his hands coming down to her arms he sobbed
"Or don't you love me anymore?" he muttered
If only they both knew how they longed for each other when they were apart for a short span of time.
They would understand, if only they knew…
The sound of silent crying filled the quite meadow, the two stayed still. Dwelling in their own sadness, was their love truly broken? Into a jigsaw puzzle of a million tiny pieces? Or did they ever have love to start with? Questions swarmed into their minds, they were lost ever since the announcement of the Zala and Campbell wedding.
It was like the world gone black
Athrun stood from his spot, he already lost all kinds of hope. He was rejected all over again. What was the use of even being here in the beginning? He had hoped to start anew not end up having a crushed heart.
Cagalli blinked back to reality when Athrun began to walk away, a few more tears left her eyes, she knew she wanted his love but just a few moments ago she had rejected him, his declaration of love even though timing was quite bad.
She didn't want him to leave her again now that they had a chance to be with each other once more. Damn him, damn her and her mouth.
"Athrun I-" she started as she walked towards him, stopping when he did
Athrun stopped and slightly turned his head just a few feet away from her "Sorry" he quietly said as he continued walking away from her.
No, Cagalli won't let him go anymore, she had enough pain when he was gone.
Cagalli ran and hugged him from behind, completely stopping and shocking the coordinator.
"I'm sorry" she croaked "I didn't mean too.." she sobbed on his back "Please stay…"
"Stay with me…" she whispered despite her violent crying as she tightened her grip around his waist even more.
"Cagalli you don't have - " Athrun touched her hand around his waist
"I don't but I want too" she tightened her grip a bit, not wanting to let go
"Then don't let go" she heard him whisper as she loosened her grip on his waist a bit and he turned to face her, wrapping his protective arms around her.
Her face stained with tears, Athrun wiped her tears away a sad smile lingered on his handsome features.
"Do you forgive me?" he asked in a hushed voice, a hand cupping her face
Cagalli looked at his intense emerald eyes bathed with tears of sorrow and joy, finding his lost hope once more.
She slowly nodded her head and buried her face on chest as she cried "Don't leave me again" she sounded like begging
Athrun held her close "I promise" he whispered
And soon they were sitting on top of a wide rock, Cagalli leaning her head on Athrun's shoulder watched the stars as the moon radiated its light on them.
"I was scared" Cagalli whispered "That you would really leave me"
"And I was dying from all the pain of knowing that I can never be with you" Athrun murmured and looked at his princess.
Cagalli laced her arms around his neck and kissed him fully on the lips, Athrun returned the kiss with much passion as he placed his arms around her waist.
The broke their kiss and panted for air, Cagalli looked deeply into Athrun's eyes and said "I need you to always be with me, forever cause I love you"
"Same here" Athrun smiled lovingly
"Whatever may come between us, remember that I'll always welcome you in my arms, forever"
And with that they kissed again, passion of love burning within them.
Not long after they got married in a grand celebration vowing to each other their eternal love. And that very night, they went off to their honeymoon in a private resort.
"I love you" whispered Athrun in a husky voice
"I love you too" Cagalli purred in his ear, her hot breathe tickling his skin as her hands roamed around his muscled chest. And the night started when passion unfolded between the two newly weds.
