Groom & Bride [Kavi]

"Avriel Benjamin Kaplan! Wake up! Oh my God I woke you up at 3 and now you're sleeping through the afternoon?!"

The lights hit his eyes hard, and Esther voice bangs in his ears.

"Easy, Essy... What's going on?"

Avi groans, and sits up to see his sister stands at the door, annoying look on her face.

"Today is Kirstie's wedding, and you supposed to dress up, like, an hour ago!"

Oh.

Kirstie.

He almost forgot about her wedding.

He almost forgot about the day she become someone's wife.

Someone who's not him.

"Are you serious, sis?", he growls, but removes his t-shirt anyway. "You want me to go to my crush's, no, my love's wedding, stand there and smile while she walk down the aisle to another man? I tried to be her friend through our little chat every night, but I can't handle that...stuff. And where the fuck is my suit?"

Esther rolls her eyes, and points the neatly suit lays on his couch.

"Over there. And language, Avi. I know you love our girl like, forever, and I know you left the group because of her, but don't forget you are her friends, her lifetime-bandmate too. I appreciate your effort on keep in touch, and keep flirting with her until now. Nice jokes about wedding, I have to say." Avi already done with the shirt, and he's doing his trousers. Esther just gives him a tie bow. "The wedding is 7pm, outdoor, at Paradise Garden, and you have two hours left, brother dear. I hope you haven't forgot the address yet."

He grumpy at Esther's words, but he know she's right. As always. But, something's strange about his outfit.

"Little does she know I want her more and more when she reply my messages. But sis. This is not the one I prepared." He glares at the suit. "Is it me or this shit really looks like groom's suit? It's all white."

"Just put that on. Everyone wears suit, it'll be fine." Esther turn around, heads downstairs, and give him one last look before she disappears. "And it is a good idea if you bring 'them' aside. You'll need 'them', if you not, you can throw 'them' away after the wedding."

"Need 'them' for what?" Avi asks, confusingly, but Esther doesn't look back.

He sighs, buttons his vest, and looks at the mirror. White-on-white suit, with a bow tie, some black lines and black buttons. He wasn't kidding about this exactly-like-the-groom look. But as he already suited up, he can't change, or he'll be late.

Avi opens a drawer, finds a beanie with his name on it, and pulls a little box out of the beanie. He opens the box, reveals two rings in it. Wedding rings. He bought them back to the day he wanted to asked Kirst to be his wife, after a year dating, but then they got into a fight. When they finally made up, and he was ready to gave her the rings, Jeremy stole her from his hands. "Fuck that fucker,", Avi angrily growls. He always get his emotions fucked when he remember the past. Back to the story, after Kirstie introduced Jeremy to him, he decided to hid the rings in the beanie which she gave him ine Christmas, and then... And then, he never has the chance to give the rings to her. Esther found the rings the day she cleaned his room and folded his clothes, so she knew about him and Kirstie. She knew he still keeps 'them' by his side.

Avi shakes his head. No. Today is Kirstie's happy day. As long as she's happy, he's happy. Anyway, he tosses the rings box into his pocket. He'll throw them away after the wedding. He'll throw his little big love for that lovely girl after the wedding.
