Chapter 45 - The End Game..!!

Start from the beginning
                                        

Claire(continuing in the same pitch): Yes, because I cant look better than the bride.
(Plunging her shoulder low) C'mon, Maddie, you need to dress up well, for that we need the time.

Madeline: Have you selected which dress, I should wear?

Claire: Yeah, as you see I have taken up the job of designing the least interested to-be-bride, in here. But to be honest, he will be more interested in what's inside.

I shot my widened eyes at her. She snickered at my expression. Suddenly, I found myself failing to hide my heating up cheeks.

"Dress is Ready!!"

Raven and Rose rushed inside the room with a giant white gown plunged into a hanger.

Rose: Phew! We are here to help you get into this, giant thing. But, good luck getting out of that.

Raven: Are you a saint, Rose? That will be to the ground in no time, Duhh..!!

"Uhhhh!!"

Three of them sang in unison. I turned away from them and started to pretend to be busy, just to conceal the redness in my cheeks that was probably visible.

It was finally the time. The wedding was happening, inside a garden, surrounded with colorful flowers, green meadows and huge trees. The white dome that stood  in the middle, seemed to be hugged by the green trees surrounding it. I stood by the aisle, which was designed with a red carpet, perfectly in contrast with the green meadow on the sides. It was beautiful. Claire stood beside with a peach long dress, complementing with mine, throwing towards me a gentle smile.

Rose and Raven came forward to help me with my huge gown, I pulled it up slightly above my feet as they held the back.

Claire turned towards me,

Claire: Let's go, shall we?

I turned towards her and nodded. I looked up at Rex, to see him staring at me, deep into my eyes, smiling to himself. Maybe, he was having the same dilemma, I was in. "Am I dreaming?" All I can imagine, as I walked down the aisle, how mom and dad must have been happy for me. I can totally imagine them standing somewhere within the crowd, smiling with pride. I know, they watch over their little girl and every step, she takes. I know they are here with me. But, alas! I couldn't she her smiling face, while she saw me, achieve all the happiness, that I once lost. I wish I could have shared it to my mom myself that I found my true love.

I was smiling so hard, that I did not realize the rolling down tears, until I stood by Rex, and he brushed away my dampened cheeks.

Mom, I found the man, whom I believe loves me to the sky and back. Who mended up my heart. I promise you, mom that I will always be grateful for the love he bestowed upon me. I will never loose respect for this man, as he made me believe in love, once again. I will stand by him in his ups and down, his falls and highs, his laughter and tears and most importantly by his side and in his heart,....

Madeline: I do!

Rex: I do!

Priest: You may now kiss the bride.

....even after, eternal slumber.

The sun was about to set, and the get together was still on, a light music was lingering in the area, as men and women in their formal attire, stood randomly across the wide spread garden, with a glass of wine, in their hands and their favorite people to talk to. While, everyone stood within a crowd. Mr. Alvarez stood at a corner, scanning through the place, slowly sipping off his glass of wine.
