A Beautiful Creation

Part 46 Dear Mr. Tushman

Christine looked at the image infront of her. A reflection of hers but she thought she's facing somebody else. She's wearing her wedding dress now courtesy of Frida. Her wedding will happen at last and there's no going back

Since the dress was Frida's pick there's a promise of risk. It's a daring white mermaid dress in blue lace and floral embroidery. Frida thought it will be better to have a mermaid dress to flaunt her curves that her friend thought she had. It's good that the wedding will happen a month after that almost destructive Valentines as she can still wear it on her condition right now. It have buttons at front that starts from it's V-neck line and stopped inches up from her knees producing a slit in front

She doesn't believe if she can do that Frida's decision at first but now, she's amazed at it and forgot all her shyness. She looked beautiful!

"Oh shucks", she uttered to herself while touching that beautiful embroidery

A knock came in that church's waiting room as she inspect those tulips flowers on her hand and in came her father in his black tuxedo. He still got that built of a mogul but looking rather friendly.

Chistopher Thomas, the world's greatest dad

Her father clapped once, "Wow, you look amazing young lady but of course you are always is in my eyes"

"I can't believe I can wear this too!", she exclaimed

"Sweetheart, you can wear a garbage bag as a dress but you will still beautiful", her dad stated

"It's because I'm your daughter", she smiled shyly

Her dad came forward and hugged her. "You are my finest creation my dear. Not just because you're my daughter. You went beyond my expectation", her dad softly spoke

She leaned at her dad's chest as she heard those beautiful words, "How about Carl?"

Christopher sighed, "I'll find another cute words for him when it's his turn to get married"

They laughed at that

"Dad, thank you for accepting Luke in our family for the second time", she said softly

"Luke spoke to me first before Christmas. Telling me how he wanted to change", her dad confessed so she looked up to her father

"Really?"

"Yes. He told me he wanted to be the best man for you. I saw how determined he is. I appreciate that he approached me first", he tapped the tip of her nose with his index finger, "He told me also his plan of marrying you"

"Oh dad, I'm so happy", she said and leaned again to her dad

"Easy on the leaning sweetheart, you're going to mess your hair", he said laughing. "And don't cry please, I'm wearing an expensive suit. You're going to trash this with your liner there in your eyes"

She tapped her father's chest, "It's mascarra dad. Anyway, Frida will get angry if I come outside with panda eyes"

"That's how you'll test Luke if he really loves you. If he's willing to marry a panda girl!", Christopher said laughing. "But honestly, I can still see goodness in Luke's eyes. I thought then that he'll come around, see? I'm right"

"Dad, you're Mr. Tushman, you're always optimistic towards people"

"But I'm also always right", Christopher insisted laughing

Her father left her side so she can composed herself before leaving the room until Frida and Jb barged in her room.

"Tin, darling, anything wrong?", Frida ask

"Sorry, I can't move my legs", Tin stammered. It's wedding jitters a minute before wedding!

"What? Wait I'll call a doctor", Jb turned to run outside

"No, no it's no that. I'm just…. I don't know"

"Last minute wedding jitters, eh?" Frida asked

"I don't know if Luke and I are really doing the right thing", Tin blurted. Okay what is she thinking?

Her other friend sighed, "You know Tin, I'm a heartless bitch but I'm on a freaking pink long dress that Frida chose for me without me knowing it. I never wore a dress and it's itchy and backless but I chose to wore it and not dumped on Frida's face the moment I saw it. I wore this, you know why? Because I love you. I will wear this freaking high heels even if it's tearing my toes because you are worth it. And I'm just your friend. Luke love you more I guess, no, he love you like love you  so much. You deserved all the right thing in the world and I tell you, you are doing the right thing not because of Charlie alone, but you love each other."

Her heart surge at Jb's statement, "I love you too J, you crazy Frida too." She pulled the two into a hug

"Ok, I'm ready", Tin announced loudly and breath deeply

"Now easy on the breathing girl, your back buttons might pop", Jb warned her

"You're a heartless bitch!", Frida yelled in surprise

"What? She's pregnant of course she'll get bloated", Jb defended while pointing her hand on Tin's tummy

Frida gasped and looked at her, "You're preggy?"

Tin blushed, "yeah, how did you know?" She looked up to a taller Jb because of that heels

"That's what happens when you forgot your condom in someone's compartment", Jb said pushing the two of them outside of that room

********************************

The church was brick of old times assembling a red structure that have two rectangular parts at both side of it and a stilted semi cicular arches with small flying buttresses in front. It has a circular opening at the middle that boasting it's wood door with sculpted grapes and vines. She chose the church since it's simple, small and gives serene feeling but then they only invited close friends of over fifty.

The center of the church inside have a hut shaped roof and in the far end of the altar, a three big stained window glasses was shown.

Her father tapped her at her shoulder signalling her to get ready. She held her father's arm crease then her father nodded at her back and saw her mother standing beside her when she turned

Margaret smiled shyly, "You look wonderful Christine." Her mother hugged her for the first time making her wedding much worthwhile

Entourage ensued with Frida at her front. She saw her brother Carl scratching his head as Ingrid, in her pink halter gown, linked her arms to him in excitement. Charlie of course is the ring bearer but almost stumbled. Jb walked along with Mark as her first entourage. Her long brown locked was laid loose and for the first time, wavy, because she said she's afraid of pneumonia. Jb's the only one in a pink backless gown courtesy of Frida's trickery

Frida looked at her first and smiled for she was her creation that day. Frida's in fuschia halter dress and of course in a high rise heels. Swept her hair in the left with flower on it. Excitement was shown on Frida's dark blue eyes and red ladden lips. She mouthed "good luck to her" before taking off in the red carpet

"There you go", her dad announced.

"Shall we?", he asked Tin. She looked into her right and saw her mother nodded so they walked and stared at the man waiting for her at the altar
