DISASTER AT THE WEDDING

15

"The human spirit is more powerful than any drug, and that is what needs to be nourished with work, play, friendship and family. These are the things that matter.”

Chapter#15

Every now and then , people would stop me and start up a conversation , talking about the wedding and my event planning business , it's definitely not easy being M.O.H .

Where there are perks of being the closest to the bride and witnessing the whole pure ritual and also handling the main activities of the wedding , there are also many cons like people asking you stuff , criticizing your work , so many dates and scheduling and things to remember but the worst of all is listening to people and their experiences and suggestions .

Finally after a lot of talks with strangers , bumping into old frenemies ( friends who became enemies ) and stumbling upon a malfunction in the carpet , I spotted Rose on the terrace with someone .

What the hell ?

where was Dania ? she was nowhere and not even with Rose .

First she asks my drunken sister to find me and then she herself gets lost somewhere , wonderful .

I was about to turn around exhausted , and leave but stopped dead in track .

I heard a voice I wished I never heard in the first place .

My whole body just froze , I could not move , blink or even breath , all my senses were shaking and I was sweating terribly .

As the wave of air hit me on my back from the balcony , the numbness disappeared and an extensive shaking replaced it .

Every single part of my body was shaking vigorously , my teeth were chattering and my eyes puddled up .

The hot tears started to run down my cheek , and I felt so cold , I wrapped my hands around my self and took deep breaths .

Inhale .

Exhale .

Inhale .

Exhale .

The tears were still flowing down but the shaking stopped .
I could finally feel my trembling legs . so I turned around very slowly just wishing it was all a dream , that I wasn't even here , that I never even heard what I heard .

But it was all true , as I saw Rose with Michael on the terrace .

Just looking at him from so near made me want to throw up and run for life , I wanted to scream so loudly but I didn't dare open my mouth , I didn't want him to see me , I never want him to see me .

He was here , first on my street and now here , is he following me ?

Has he already seen me ?

Will he again break his way to me and destroy my life like he did before ?

Or will he do worse ?

Why was he talking to Rose ?

Why was Rose with him , did he do something to her ?

My head was clogged with so many questions I had no answer to except for this that I had to be as far away from this person as I could , I cannot again go back 3 years earlier , I did not wanna relive that time .

My lower lip started to wobble and tears poured out of my eyes , without even thinking I started to run in the total opposite direction from where I came here , I ran into nowhere , this house was like a fortress , there were halls and doors that you could get lost in , and I had no idea where my legs were leading me to , I just wanted to hide somewhere , someplace he could never find me in , someplace I could be safe , someplace where I don't have to see him .
