Wedding Guest

Wedding Guests.

Abby’s POV.

The birds that hovered in the air with their colorful wings being shown off to the people below it was so attracting that one could actually forget the fact that they had things to do for the day.

A smile erupted from my face as I watched them do their showcase in the sky under the clouds. They looked happy and it made my eyes glisten as I kept on admiring their lifestyle.

I took in a deep breath as I darted my gaze from the sky and had it fixed at the venue of the loading ceremony which wasn’t that far from where I was standing or staying as the case may be.

Wedding bells ringing so loud that one could actually tell from a close by town that a big ceremony was going to happen in Perusia in a short while.

There were beautiful red roses which had the shape of a heart to signify love and care placed all over the place like the church hall, the compound of the church and my room which I was in so I could wait for the groom to arrive at the wedding venue.

I was already well dressed in my blue wedding gown which had it’s design like that of Barbie and the popstar in Disney world. I had actually selected the color blue because my first wedding which was with Alex didn’t work out and I was putting bon a white gown.

So it was best to put on my blue gown than go through a trauma wearing a white gown.

I loved my gown so much that I wished never to take it off after the wedding had ended.

I smiled knowing that it was going to be a great hour soon where I would stand in front of my husband Jack . The same man who I was actually tricking to be the father of my child .

I pinched the tip of my nose at the thought of the aspect that I wasn’t being true to him.

Was still trying to get myself together when suddenly, the door opened with a bit of anger following suit.

“What the hell is taking him so long to get here Abby??? You told me he would be here before you arrived and just look at the hour!!!” My mom nagged with a fierce look on her face but trust me, I could sense fear in her tone at that moment.

“Mom, ….he…” I stuttered as I wasn’t yet prepared for the statement I was going to make or rather the lie I was going to tell.

I was actually going to lie to her about everything so she wouldn’t bother me about Jack anymore but it didn’t work out .

“Look you better do something meaningful before it happens again!! Have you tried calling him to know if he will come?” my mom asked as she came closer to me . I was kind of scared seeing her come too close to me though.

“Good morning mom… I forgot to greet you when you walked into my room uninvited…... and yes I have called him mom. I’m sure he will be here soon!” I lied as I responded to her rudely.

I knew they were all just scared about the fact that Alex had messed me up on the day of our wedding just like today.

I couldn’t just tell her that Jack wasn’t picking up his phone either because that would cause a fight between her and probably me or my dad and trust me, it won’t be funny!!

My mom wasn’t happy that I got dumped at the alter on the day of my last wedding so she was only trying to look out for me to avoid sleepless nights, to avoid tears soaking my dress like I had just climbed out of a swimming pool.

Truth is, I was scared myself but one thing was sure, I trusted Jack and was sure that he wasn’t going to leave me at the alter….not after his promises to me .

“That’s the best thing Abby.. so we wait till it’s time to march into the church right?” She placed her hands on my cheeks with her eyes all moist .

She whispered few sweet words into my ear before she looked into my eyes one more time.

“I love you” She said to my face as she kissed my forehead gently with a smile all over her face.

“Thanks a lot mom.” I appreciated as I watched her turn into the most excited lady on earth.

“I will be back soon okay? Let’s go check the caterer and the venue for my daughter’s wedding “ She said out joyfully as she ran out of the room I was staying in.

The moment she left the room , I picked up my phone and dialed Jack’s contact one more time to know if he would pick up but it wasn’t still possible.

“Is he getting ready to be seen in a suit? I bet he will look so sweet while he walk closer to me at the alter!!” I chuckled as my imaginations grew wider by every second.

I looked at my phone to see if he would call back but I didn’t still get any response from him.

“I trust you Jack.. I know that you won’t act like him.. you have always been different and nothing is going to change that” I tapped my hand on my chest three times as I assured myself that he was going to come for the wedding.

I wasn’t that okay myself considering the fact that it had actually happened to me before.

I closed my eyes for about five seconds as I felt my hand and my heart stay calm. Closing my eyes was kind of a comforter for me and possibly the only way to calm my nerves down.

I was still in my therapy of relaxation when the door to my room opened with a loud sound following it as it came in contact with the wall behind it.

“Abby!!!? Abby get up now!!!” Cherry called out with her eyes wide open and her eyes glistening.

It was actually at that point that I knew something good was about to happen. It was obvious that Jack had arrived and at a good timing.

“Stay calm Cherry!! What’s wrong?” I chuckled like I knew nothing about her current mood.

“You see me all happy and jubilating and the question that comes out of your mouth is What’s wrong? Come on Abby.. we need to leave now!!!” She got closer to me as she dragged my hand towards her Direction so I could stand or get up from where I was sitting.

“Take it easy Cherry.. you wouldn’t want to rip my cloth you know” I said out as I tried reminding her that I wasn’t in my casual outfit.

“Oh.. my bad.. let me help you” She bent low to my feet as she began to help me untangle my gown from my legs.

She was still trying to fix my gown when suddenly, I heard footsteps coming towards my room door.

It was actually louder than I had expected considering the fact that the speaker at the venue was increased to a point that it’s music could actually blow up ones ear drum.

I paused as I gazed curiously at the entrance of my room because someone called Cherry had left the door open after she came in.

I was so nervous to know who it was that Cherry who was focused on my gown had already noticed my mood.

She stood up to my point with a confused stare at me.

“Are you okay Abby? You are turning all red” She said as she placed her back palm on my forehead to check if I was okay.

“I am fine Cherry!!” I scoffed without looking at her.

“Cant you hear that sound? Can’t you feel like something is coming at us this minute?” I asked but this time, I had to look her in the eye to ask.

“Then it must probably be Your husband Jack.. why panic when you haven’t seen anything or anyone.?”

“Oh… my husband? Why didn’t I think about that earlier “ I mumbled to myself as I gave Cherry a sweet smile.

“Come on let’s go” I added as I placed my left hand across her shoulders.

We were on our way out when she finally surfaced. My nemesis or enemy. She was looking all evil in her black gown as usual.

“Why is she here Cherry??” I whispered into Cherry’s ear as I glared at her standing at the door side with a fake smile all over her face.

“Hey Abby!!” She waved as she greeted me .

“Don’t you think I should at least get a hug and a tight one at that from you? I am your wedding guest and should be treated as one… or don’t you think so?” She mocked me as she took three steps closer to where I was.

“What do you want?” I inquired as I could feel my heart pounding like it was about to explode in her face.

They were only reacting to the fact that someone scary was standing in front of me .

“What do I want? I want your gown Abby so could you give it to me.?!” She requested with a cold gaze on me.

I paused for a while thinking about what had actually given her such courage to come at me .

“Are you insane? Do you know what you are saying!!?” Cherry defended immediately.

She must realized how cold I went hearing The evil lady ask for my gown.

“Hey there flower girl!! Don’t put a voice in our conversation okay.. besides, I wasn’t referring to you.. I was talking to your friend whom you should actually advice!!” She fired Cherry without delay.

It felt like she had everything that was going to happen on my wedding day in her palm.

“I need to go get Jack Abby.. we can’t let her treat you like trash!!” Cherry ran out of sight out of her own will.

I was about going after her but my enemy placed her hand on my chest pushing me back.

“Get off me.. you know my husband won’t actually find it funny if he gets you here!!” I spoke out rudely not minding who she really was anymore.

“Point of correction Abby.. he is your husband to be meaning that I can actually take him away from you right now!!” She assured which had caught my attention.

I froze with silence when I realized that she had actually came to the wedding venue to destroy everything I and Jack worked our ass out for.

I was about yelling at her to let me go when suddenly , I got slapped in the face with her statement.

“You better let me get married to the man who owns my heart Abby… you are just his mistress . He met you at the bus stop but me… I have always been with him since high school” She revealed as she walked slowly towards the curtain on the window.

“What do you mean by that??!?” She turned and was about saying something when I got kicked out of life by Jack’s voice.

“Kate stop!!!!” He yelled out and within the twinkle of an eye, I fell to the ground .

I wasn’t sure what was wrong with me though.. but I was sure that tears were running down my cheeks.

“Abby!!? Abby please wake up!!” Cherry begged but that was the last statement I heard clearly before I went into a blank room.
