Past Lover

It's been an hour after I've arrived in my own boutique. I'm arranging some clothes that can be display in a glass wall. I have checked my schedule for today already. I can't help but to smile when I saw his name in the list of those person who will be going in my office for today. After a bundle of hours a familiar handsome man entered the glass door and that's him. He smiled, that made my heart beats eratically and it's pace become fast. Then he waved at me while saying hi cheerfully.

"Hey,are you busy right now? If not can I talk to you then?" He asked. I can't help my smile to flash.

"Yeah, I'm done arranging some stuff so it's fine" He smiled again for some reason and he looks excited.

"So what it is?" I asked.

"Can we talk in your office? You know...for some privacy." He said looking around the shop. My cheeks become crimson.

"Sorry,I'm really sorry for what I've done,So err...let's go to my office,this way please."

"Nah,it's ok, don't be sorry it's just nothing" he said while walking beside me. I smiled then gesture him to sit on the couch.

"Do you need something? Coffee,juice or tea?" he shook his head.

"A glass of water is fine."

"Ok then" I walk towards the water dispenser then get a glass of water. I place it on the glass coffee table.

"Thank-you for this." he said and smiled at me I nod and smiled back.

"So let's get started?" I said and then I stare at his fierce eyes down to his pointed nose, pinkish little lips that i missed to taste then to his perfectly carved jaw.

Im mesmerized by his looks and aura and then suddenly our sweet moments way back college life flash in my mind. The time when I'm dragging him to our room for him to study, when he's bringing white roses for me almost everyday which is so random by the way, when we kissed.

"Are you listening to me?" he said that pull me out of my thoughts.

"Ah yes...pardon?" An awkward smile crept my lips.

"Well as what I've said I want you to help me in organizing my wedding."

I was caught of guard my smile vanished and my eyes started to get teary. Am I really stupid? I think so, I didn't thought this is painful as if millions of daggers with poison stab my heart for so many times. I push you away for my best friend because I choose friendship over what we have back then. Well now it knock my senses back, I should have follow what I really wanted not what they wanted. Moments with you that I'll cherish till I'm breathing, I hope it's the other way around but it's not and this is all my fault.

I immediately look up and flash my fake smile. I need to face what I've chose.

"Oww ,is that so? Well it's ok with me and it's my job after all,so let's start to plan things out,or you want to have it some other time?" I said preventing my voice to crack because of my attempting sobs. I'm silently praying for him to pick the latter one.

"I want it now because I'm excited to be her husband,and I love her very much so I want to rush things out,rush but perfect." he said with sparkles in his eyes, my heart clenched and it feels like he hammered it again and again.

"Ok then." We spent almost four hours in planning the wedding. My dream is planning a wedding with him but not as the planner but as his bride to be.

The wedding is so perfect it turns out like my dream and will surely remain a dream. The days passed and tomorrow is Mason's day with the one he love he's so happy while I'm lonely and blue, well I'm partly happy because he's now contented with his life.
A loud ring in my doorbell envelopes in my bungalow house.I run towards the door and stunned after seeing him smiling from ear to ear while waiting for me to open the door. I opened the door and smiled at his face.

"Why are you here? I think you should rest so that you're not haggard for your wedding" I asked

"I want to invite you because tonight is the engagement party."

You really want to hurt me? I whisper.I nod and say yes, he said he'll wait for me I smile and immediately change my outfit I wear a white longsleeves dress above the knee. We walk side by side when we reached the venue, it's a beautiful event hall balloons on the floor, orchestra at the side playing romantic song. I was stunned when he kneel down in front of me and say the words I want to hear since then.

"My wife,will you marry me to be my wife legally?"

My tears run down my cheeks while I'm nodding repeatedly, Mason place a simple diamond ring in my finger then he kiss me while murmuring I love you.

I thought you'll remain in my dream but you pull me in a reality with it.
