TES #3
Rick Calland
The best in his field. He has the perfect family, the perfect mother, father and friends. He always had a perfect life until one day he met a girl and fell for her in seconds. He looks for her but when he finds her, she is on th...
"Honey, are you ready?" My mom walked in and I smiled at her. I was standing in front of the mirror and can't help but smile looking at the beautiful dress I'm wearing.
"Sit down quick so I can touch up the make up" Stella pointed at the chair and I sat down. She did her work and my mom helped her.
"I can't believe you're going to get married" my mom's voice cracked and I hugged her.
"Mom, I'll be living just a few blocks away. I'll come to stay over every weekend" I said and she chuckled.
"No, you're not my little baby anymore" she cried and I hugged her tightly.
"I'm always your little girl" I said and suddenly someone hugged me from behind. It's my dad. He hugged me along with my mom and patted my head. He kissed my hair before ruffling it.
"Dad, I just did my hair and make-up" I pouted and he chuckled. He looked teary too and I can't help but feel so happy and blessed to get such parents.
"No worries when I'm here" Stella corrected my hair a little bit and she did hers too along with mine. My dad hugged me again and gave me a box. I looked surprised and asked him what's inside. He just gestured me to open it and I did. My eyes opened wide and I saw a bracelet. It's a tiny one with an angel attached to it.
"Thanks dad, I love you" I hugged him.
"You're always my angel" ok, I'm tearing up right now.
"Jeni, Henry it's time" Stella said and they nodded. We walked out from our house and got into the car and went straight to the wedding avenue. I wanted a simple church wedding at the church outside the city and we all settled for it. The arrangements are already done amd everything is ready. Just the "I do" and I'm married.
The nervousness crept inside me and I hold my mom's hand immediately. She read my mind and nodded in assurance.
We reached the venue and all my relatives and friends were there. The staff lead me to the room and put the veil on me.
"Here" Stella came with then flower bouquet and I smiled.
"You're the most beautiful bride I have seen" she hugged me and yes, she's my bridesmaid. I am not very much good at making friends but I always believe quality of friends is important and she's one of the kind.
"Thanks"
"Any time silly. I just had a look and the decorations are amazing" she said to cheer me up and it worked.
"It's time ma'am" the staff said and my dad extended his arm. I gave my hand to him and put the veil over my face. Stella walked in the front and the music started to play when I walked down the aisle.
"Take care" my dad gave my hand to Stephen and he smiled looking at me. The priest started to read the vows and he was repeating it looking at me. At last he said, "I do"
Now it's my turn. I was just starting to say my vows when someone barged into the hall.
"Stop" I saw a girl at the entrance of the hallway. She was sweating like a pig and her hair was all over the face. She was clenching her stomach and she was panting so much. I was confused and looked at Stephan and he was looking nervous. He started to sweat too and I'm not liking this.
"I'm pregnant with his child" the girl shouted and the whole hallway went silent. I felt someone stabbed me right in my heart and I quickly withdrew my hand from his.
"Wait, I can explain"
Tears started running down my face and I can't believe what's happening. It's like the ground beneath me was pulled away and I sat down crying. The girl from earlier walked to me and sat in front of me.
"I'm sorry but I can't help it. We were having an affair since a year and he asked me some time to explain it to you. I trusted him but today morning one of my friends called me to inform about the wedding and I had to come here" she said and patted my shoulder. I pushed her arm away and everyone gasped hearing her. There was soon commotion all around. Stella quickly rushed to me and help me stand up while my dad walked to Stephen and threw him a punch at his face.
"I'll ruin you for making my daughter a clown" he was bursting angrily at him and I don't care about anything right now. I can't believe that he cheated on me. I kept crying and crying and my mom hugged me tight.
"It's ok baby" she patted my back and I clutched her and cried like a small kid.
"There there, relax" Stella was standing beside me and held my hand tightly.
"I'll throw you in jail you bastard" my dad beat the shit out of him and he coughed out blood.
"Dad" I called him and he immediately rushed to me.
"I want to leave" I said in a broken voice and he nodded. We walked out and some of my relatives followed me. I kept crying and suddenly stopped walking. I walked back to the aisle and stood in front of him. He looked reckless. His eyes were bruised and his mouth was bleeding. I'm sure his arm and back was hurt too cause he wasn't able to stand properly.
I didn't think twice before swinging my hand right across his face.
"Don't ever come in front of my face"
Everyone gasped at me and I threw him a deadly glare and walked out. I ran outside and took a cab back home. I know my parents are following me. My mom called me and I asked her to give me sometime alone. After a long argument she agreed and I asked the driver to drive me to the top of rock observation deck. I got off and paid him throught online.
I sat down and looked at the view.

It was already dark and the city shined like a glitter. My tears slowed stopped and I sat there quietly.
