Epilogue 2: My brother's wedding
I came to see Wendy because my Mom forced me to. When I opened the door, she was staring into the mirror so intensely. Beside that, she looked beautiful in her white lace wedding dress.
I started,"Mom said you wanted to see me."
"Yes. I wanna have a talk with you.",she said in a low tone.
She smiled at me but it looked more like... she's trying it.
"About what?",I asked.
"Are you in a hurry?"
I sat on a chair beside the door and asked calmly,"What do you wanna talk about?"
"I don't know why you're being mad at me everytime whenever I try to speak with you. At beginning,I thought it's because of... you saw me as an unknown person entering into your family. I thought it'll fade away as the time pass by but... it never did. I always longed for a sister Sam. When Sven and I started to date, he talked lot about you... I thought I'm gonna have a friend to talk to in future..."
I cut her by asking,"When will this get end?"
"I know it must be boring you... Today's my wedding right? I didn't get your gift yet? Can I make a wish as my gift?"
I'm confused by her talking.
She stood from her place and came towards me and hugged me suddenly and said,"I don't want this thing to go on between us anymore."
Woah! I never expected this. I hated her ever since I saw her together with my brother but she didn't. I thought 'Why did I hated her in the first place?' It's because of Wil. But I'm okay with Wil now. Should I give up on hating her?'
I said while being in her embrace,"Then... that'll be your present."
Wendy looked surprised and happy at the same time.
I broke the embrace,"I'll get going then..."said while giving a short smile.
Wendy held my hand and asked,"Can I get a advice?...I'm scared here."
"For what?"
"Getting married and stuff!"
I smiled and sat beside her.
"little girl.",I teased her.
"When it comes to getting married... Everyone will get scared and confused...like Am I taking a right decision? Is the guy I'm gonna marry is right person?..."
"Woah! Woah! Woah! I'm not that expert in giving any advice. But can I say something?"
"Whatever that makes me feel calm right now is okay for me.",she sighed.
"Let's see. Actually when someone is about to marry, Devil may whisper mischievous illusion into their dreams, so they would turn away from their loved ones. Making them confused, anxious and uncertain. Making them to doubt the choices they make and the commitment they will go through like marriage. So what I'm trying to say is just leave all the thoughts aside which was whispered by the demon and think about the happiness, the joy, the love, and ofcourse new family you will get. From this you will only feel happier."
Woah! I never talked this much with her.
By the time when I finished with my talking, I saw tears welled up in Wendy's eyes.
I swiped the tears using the handki and said,"I bet your one sensitive girl I've ever seen..."and smiled.
Wendy hugged me as I was swiping her tears.
"Sven was right about you"
"I'll get going then...Sis."
Wendy laughed and I laughed at her back.
'Loving is better than hating.', I thought while standing in the porch.
"Uncle Ray! Not here. You can park your car on the right corner of the 2nd lane."
Ugh! Dad ordered me to take care of parking stuff for the wedding. I don't know what all he's gonna order until I get graduated.
While watching people parking their Vehicle, I spotted Ace.
"Sam!",he shouted while walking towards me.
He walked towards me and hugged suddenly.
He uttered,"I missed you."
"Okay. That's weird.",I said.
Ace laughed and broke the embrace while asking,"Then... Why are you outside? Are you waiting for our friends?"
"Ahhh... Yeah!",I lied.
"Okay. I'll go inside and eat some food. I'm so hungry."
"I doubt whether you really missed me or the food!",I teased him.
"Hey! How can you say like that!... Ofcourse I missed... the food!"
He left me for food.
I sighed.
After sometime my friends showed up.
Blair, Wil, Clara, David, Luna, Audrey and Benjamin.
"Hey Sam!... Are you waiting for us?",Wil asked.
I didn't give a damn. I'm mad. They ditched me.
"Are you still mad on us?",Clara asked me.
'Yes!',I thought.
"Don't be like this. We know you can't be mad for a long time.", Blair said.
"You... Guys!... I want to be mad so badly But I missed you too."
My mad face turned into sobbing face in seconds.
We then made a group hug. I can't resist them anymore. Eventhough they ditched me, they're still my friends.
"Lets get inside! I wanna see Sven in his wedding suit! I bet he'll be rocking in it!",Audrey got excited.
"You can't flirt with him anymore. Since he got his own bride now.",Clara commented.
We broke into laughter.
"You all get inside. I'll be following in some time.",I said.
"You're not coming?",Clara asked me.
"I'm...I'm waiting for Senior! Yes. For Senior."
"He didn't come yet?"
"Yeah. You can go inside. I'll follow you later."
They all went inside.
Someone poked me from behind.
I turned. It was Ace standing infront of me holding the plate with desserts.
"Open.", Suddenly he fed me the desserts forcefully.
Awww! So good! It does tastes awesome. Mom was the one who decided the menu for desserts and food. Mom really did a great job.
"I think you're enjoying. Here. Eat some more.",he fed me again and again till the desserts got over on the plate he's holding.
"Ace! I forgot to ask this. Did you get a girlfriend yet."
His smile disappeared after I asked him.
"Don't be like this Ace!... How long will you be single?"
"I'm not interested Sam!"
"Don't say that you still have her on your mind?...Ace! She got a boyfriend."
"Being able to stay beside the one you love is one of the previleges of being a friend."
"Yuck!"
"Calix is here.",he said.
"Where?",I looked around for Senior.
Once senior came, I'm speechless.
"What are you looking at?... Am I dressing strangely for you or something?"
He smiled at me.
"I... Just want to let you know that... Today... You look so handsome."I blushed because I can't resist his good looks.
He came closer and whispered to me,"You cannot give me a compliment and blush like that."
I uttered,"bad."
"Bad?",he asked.
"So bad for my heart.",I blushed again.
He leaned on me to initiate a kiss. But...
"I'm still here.",Ace sighed.
"Then...leave.",Senior said.
I giggled.
Ace and Cal stared like they're three year olds. It was funny though.
Ace left after some time.
"Let's get inside.",he said.
I pouted my lips.
"You're dad again?"
I nodded.
He smiled,"Come with me. I'll talk to him."
