Book Excerpt
It had almost been two years since Jonas Cordier and Melanie Price were a couple. Yet, even after so much time, Jonas was just as happy as the first day to be with her. They were officially engaged; the pastor had introduced them as such to the congregation a few months ago. They were planning to get married towards the end of the following year, after their studies.
“You know, I think Manuel has a little crush on you,” Jonas said. “If he could, he would kill me to have you.”
Melanie laughed. An objectively lovely laugh, that many considered to be a beautiful melody.
“You’re exaggerating,” she said.
“Not at all. That would be the only way for me to give up on being with you.”
She stopped to look at her fiancé in the eyes, wondering how she had managed to live without such a wonderful man near her.
Jonas and Melanie were part of the choir of their church. Jonas was the pianist, but also the head of the choir. The pastor often reminded him of how important his responsibility was. As the head of the choir, he always had to be irreproachable in every situation. Besides, until then, he had always been. Members often complimented him for his performance, especially for his voice. He mastered it perfectly, in bass or treble.
As for Melanie, she was nicknamed “the smiling singer”, she was impossible to miss. Her smile as well as her voice, technically flawless, surprised the members of the assembly every Sunday. They never failed to congratulate them, she and her fiancé, for their performance. Moreover, since they had been presented as an official couple at church, they were often the center of attention, comments about them never stopped:
“They’re so good together.”
“I’ve never seen two people more suitable for each other.”
The pastor himself congratulated Jonas and gave his approval. Admittedly, Melanie and Jonas had not taken the time to pray before getting engaged to each other, but why would they when it was so obvious that they were destined for each other?
Other than that, everything had been done according to the rules. Melanie’s parents were aware of the engagement and had been the first to congratulate and encourage the happy couple. Their friends envied them for their perfect relationship. They had everyone’s approval. Melanie’s mother even said they were so compatible, she could not see what might one day separate them.
Jonas and Melanie therefore had the encouragement and support of all except one. God had not given His approval. No one had bothered to ask Him, neither the parents, nor the pastors, nor the fiancés themselves.
