Chapter 111 - Best Man (1/2)
They frequently look at each other then their mouth takes a shape of smile. Their love and affection is visible on the surface. Anyone can tell by one glance.
It's so hard to believe that a playboy like Luke got married for love. It was something that not even his own father would imagine. Love can truly change people.
I don't know why but I feel so pleased to see them smiling.
I always thought that Luke was such a irresponsible guy who would never act like a proper man. He was a spoiled brat. He had no spark of decency.
But he was with me from the very beginning. My arrogance and rude behaviour never stopped him from befriending me.
” We were not thinking about having a proper ceremony but my dad got furious. Since I'm his only daughter, he wanted to throw a grand wedding for me. I had to agree.” It's obvious that Regina's dad won't let it slide away. His only daughter got married without any lavish wedding.
How can that be?
I'm surprised that he actually decided to accept Luke as his son-in-law. Maybe he's happy that his daughter finally got married.
Regina has been stuck with the company for a long time. She was a workaholic like me. Regina's dad was always worried about his daughter.
His daughter was an ambitious woman, a hard working woman who was focused with the growth of their company. She has a successful career.
Yet she lacked happiness. Her life was bland. Regina was a loner like me. She doesn't have any good friends except her colleagues or some acquaintances.
” Of course you deserve a grand wedding. I'm dying to see you in a wedding dress.” Stella said. Now I know why Regina likes Stella so much. She was the only person who ever understood the true nature of Regina.
” And you'll be my maid of honour.”
” Thanks, although I knew it from the beginning.” Stella winks at Regina then they laughs joyously.
The girls can efficiently carry on their conversation. Yet I gotta struggle with my dumbass friend.
” Theo will be my best man.” Luke stated confidently.
” No thanks, I'll pass.” I flatly rejected him. The smile from his face dropped.
” What the hell man!” I know that he will ask me for this. I'm gonna do it anyway but he gotta beg me some more. Honestly in my wedding, he wasn't really doing any proper job by being my best man.
He left me alone to hook up with some girls. It's better if I don't bring up that stuff. Regina is here with us.
The food have been served. We chatted about lots of things. The atmosphere was very delightful. It's been a long time since I had such heartwarming gathering with my two dear friends.
” It may be little weird to bring this up now but I'm kinda relieved. There was a part of me that thought I was responsible for separating you two.
But you found your soulmate and it's all clear by your smile. I always prayed the best for you Regina. You are my dear friend. I'm happy to see you glowing.”
Stella's eyes were gently gleaming with elation. It was as if her warm smile holds the hidden malice of past.
” Don't blame yourself Stella.” Stretching out her arm, Regina hold her hand.
” On the contrary you saved both of our lives. You made me realised what it means to be loved. Our relationship was just so mechanical. It was lifeless and functional. I can say this proudly that I never loved Theo. It was only my infatuation with my own reflection.”
” I agree too. The reason why we were able to drag our relationship for two years, was our personality and preferences. Yet I couldn't decide if I really want to marry her or not.
Even if you never came into our lives, we would have ended up going on separate paths. I mean staying together and loving someone is two different things.
