Bound To You

Chapter 26: Let's the Wedding Begin

The car stopped in front of the Chatti mansion. The exterior of the house was decorated with lights. The fountain in front of the house had lights on it which reflected on the water making the water sparkle like rainbow.

I got out of the cat with grandma and uncle. We walked towards the door as the guards nodded and opened the door and let us go inside the mansion.

The interior of the mansion looked more beautiful than ever. The whole mansion was decorated with lights and it looked like I was inside winter's wonderland.

The lights were blue and white. The walls were decorated with blue and white balloons. There were tables after tables which were decorated with matching blue table cloth for the dinner.

The guests were chatting and the stage, that was on the center, had a table where the officiant speaker and Mrs. Chatti were talking. Emily was right beside Mrs. Chatti and was talking to the officiant speaker as well.

I walked on the floor and began to room around the room. It was hard to believe that I was getting married, right here, right under this Chatti mansion.

Suddenly, I felt a hold on my arm from behind.

I gasped but stayed still. I knew it was uncle.

"Don't move, idiot!" He whispered/yelled.

I saw grandma walking towards the stage to great Mrs. Mrs. Chatti. I tried to break free from the hold but uncle was strong.

"What did I say, Yumna?" Uncle said. "Do not move around. You will cause unnecessary problems which might ruin my deal with Mr. Chatti so stick to me till you are done with this wedding."

I was shocked.

What?

I couldn't even roam around and see the decoration of my own wedding?

I tried to break free from the hold but uncle tightened his hold, making me winched in pain.

"Uncle-" I was going to say something but I heard another voice.

"Mr. Hamdi," I heard a male voice from the back.

Uncle suddenly let go of my hand and we both turned around and found Mr. Chatti there.

"What are you doing standing behind my to - be - daughter in law, Mr. Hamdi?" Mr. Chatti said. I could sense a bit of anger in his voice.

"Nothing," uncle laughed. "I was just talking to her."

"You were talking from behind her back?" Mr. Chatti raised his eyebrow in suspicious.

Uncle said nothing.

Mr. Chatti ignored uncle and stepped near me. "Yumna," he said as she smiled.

I smiled back at him. I didn't remember him from my past but he did sound like somebody who cared for me.

He looked at me and smiled. "You look beautiful. A lot of my business clients who came to this wedding and saw you and they are stunned by how beautiful you look," he said as he looked at my dress and then at me. " . . . And I have to say, my son has chosen the right girl for his life partner. You are beautiful and sweet, just perfect for my family."

I smiled at him. "Thank you," I said. His words made me feel really warm inside my heart.

"Go to the stage, sweetie. We are going to start the marriage soon," Mr. Chatti said.

I nodded.

"Oh," uncle said as he walk to me. "I can accompany Yumna . . ." uncle was going to grab my hand to escort me when another hand from behind me held onto uncle's hand to stop his hand form touching mine.

"No need," we heard a voice from behind me.

I turned around saw Omar, dressing in his navy blue  tuxedo with full sleeve shirt. His hair was combed today and his eyes, even thought it looked cold but it had a slight bit of warmth today.

I watch Omar as he moved his biceps and moved uncle's hand from reaching mine.

"You are stopping me from touching my niece?" Uncle asked.

"I am stopping a man from touching my fianceè who only causes her harm," Omar said. His voice held dominance and anger.

I stared at Omar in shock.

Why was Omar talking as if he knew uncle . . .

Did Omar knew uncles abused me?

If that's true then how?

"But-" uncle protested.

Omar let go of uncle's hand and ignored him. "Come on, Yumna," Omar whispered as I nodded, confusingly but decided to follow Omar.
