215 The wedding dress 02 (1/2)
Was Ryn still having bad mood? Do they have to cancel their plan? But... but this was the only day she could do whatever she wanted for her wedding day!
Mika chewed her bottom lip fretfully. What should she do now?
It was more than fifteen minutes, almost to twenty minutes of them sitting in the still running engine before Ryn finally lifted her head up and looked at Mika. The smile was a bit forced, which made Mika felt worrier.
Was Ryn's mood not getting better?
”We are going to buy the fabrics, right? Let's go.” With that, Ryn unbuckled herself and got out of the car.
Mika quickly shut the engine off and hurriedly followed behind Ryn. She did not want to be left behind.
Instead of entering the fabric store first, Ryn and Mika stopped at a bubble tea stall to buy a drink. Although Mika was always on her never-ending diet, for the sake of making Ryn felt better, she forgot about her diet and ordered a huge bubble chocolate drink which she would share with Ryn. They walked together slowly, hand-in-hand, as their eyes looked at the display wordlessly.
It took them two floors of elevators before they reached the fabric shop Mika wanted to go. The huge plastic cup was empty so Ryn disposed it to the nearest rubbish bin. She wiped her hands with wet wipes given by Mika and threw the used one to the bin. Then, she followed her best friend.
Her current feeling? She had no idea. At first, when they started to move, her mind was full of fury but now, her mind was empty. She did not have the mood to do anything and just forced herself to be as calm as possible. She did keep a slight smile on her face, as a support for her best friend. It was after all for Mika's wedding, so she had to force some enthusiastic feeling into it.
And failed miserably.
Even Mika noticed it but her dearest friend did not comment upon that. She also did not complain or started to wail or cry. She just put all her excitement, even the excitement on behalf or Ryn, upon herself and told the salesgirl who was in charge of them what type of fabric she had in mind.
The salesgirl quickly brought the prospective clients to the section and even tried to suggest what was the most appropriate in her opinion to the women. But Mika just waved her hand to keep the salesgirl quiet. She did not need a chatterbox to interrupt her searching. With Ryn standing beside her, her eyes narrowed and her hands quickly touched and skipped bolts and bolts of fabrics, looking for the perfect one for her wedding dress.
It would take a lot of time and work but she was optimistic she could complete them before the wedding date.
”Remember the page boys and flower girls,” Ryn reminded when she realized Mika was only focussing on their dresses.
Mika's eyes widened. She totally forgot about those nephews and nieces from Jason side that she would appoint as the page boys and flower girls during the ceremony. According to Jason, he has about 2 nephews and 4 nieces and wished to include them for their wedding. Mika could ignore the boy's outfits but the little girls, she needed to design something for them so they could look cute and adorable during the ceremony.
”Why don't you design them later? You can ask help from their mothers as well,” Ryn suggested when she saw the panic in Mika's eyes.
Mika nodded. Ryn was right. She should not get panic over this. She should focus on Ryn and her dresses first today. Tomorrow she would ask Jason to call his sister and sisters-in-law for help.
Ryn rubbed Mika's shoulders to make her feel better and then touched the last bolt of fabric Mika touched. ”Do you want this one?”
Mika shook her head. The fabric did not scream to her. She already had an idea of what she wanted. She even had the drawing in her bag. But so far, all the fabrics were not what she had in mind.
”Do you want to go to the next fabric store?” Ryn asked. She was not forcing Mika to make a decision, just wanting Mika to realize how much time they already spent there. The last time she checked, they were there for almost two hours and all Mika did was touching the fabrics!
She did not even take out the bolt. Just running her finger against the cloth and pursed her lips thoughtfully.
The salesgirl who was hovering not far from them gasped. She could see her bonus flying away and she did not want that. She hurriedly cleared her throat and asked politely what Mika had in mind.
Ryn, uninterested in fabric language, took a step back and started to daydream. She did not care what colour her dresses would be. She believed in Mika and she trusted her best friend not making her wearing weird and ugly dresses on that important day.
She found her job as Mika's bridesmaid was not that difficult. Mika did not have trouble finding her wedding dresses and Ryn's bridesmaid dresses. She could design them herself and when she did, she knew what she wanted. Even for makeup and jewelleries, Ryn had no doubt they would find any problem in that area.
For music, Jeremy would be the one in charge. Being a singer and a musician, Jeremy was the perfect man for the job.
Maybe her main job was the food. She had to help Mika with the cake flavour and the menu for the reception. She could do it, Ryn thought. She always had better palate compared to the siblings, especially when it related to meat. She could distinguish all kind of meat even when blindfold.
Yes, Ryn could help with the food.
”What do you think of this, Ryn?”
Mika's question snapped Ryn back to reality. She was a bit starlet but managed to recover her composure. She looked at the bolt of fabric in the salesgirl hand. ”Hmm... is this for the wedding dress?”
