95 Surprise (1/2)

It has been a tiring day. The coordinators are just wrapping things up.

”Jill.” I hear Andrea called me. I looked behind and see her signaling for me to come with her.

”Honey. Andrea is calling me.” I told Troy.

”Hmm. Go to her. But don't be too long. I'm gonna miss you.” Troy said giving me a sweet smile. I smiled back and walked towards Andrea.

”What is it?” I ask Andrea when I was near her.

”Come with me for a while.” Andrea pulled me while giggling.

We walked towards a small room used for changing clothes. Andrea opened the door and ushered me in.

”What is it?” I asked Andrea confused.

When I look inside I can see a white spaghetti strap cotton dress with a pair of flat sandals. I looked at Andrea with questioning eyes.

”You want me to change in that clothes? Isn't it a little too thin? It's still cold this time of year.” I said giggling.

”Don't worry. You'll wear a coat over it. But once you get to your destination this dress will suffice.” Andrea smiled at me and handed me the dress.

I took it and gave Andrea one last look. I sighed and gave in to her demands.

After a while I have changed from my wedding gown to the dress Andrea gave me.

”Here's your coat.” Andrea helped me in it. ”Enjoy.” She gives me a hug and then pushed me out of the room all the while I am confused.

Then I saw Troy by the door. He has changed his white tuxedo to a more casual white long sleeves shirt and light brown coat and khaki pants. He looked at me with warmth and smiled.

”Let's go.” Troy grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him.

”Huh? To where?” I asked confused.

We don't have any plans after the wedding. Because we have rushed the preparations of the wedding we weren't able to make any plans for our honeymoon. And I know Troy didn't take any vacation leave from his work. We just decided to go home and just spend our time together.

”It's a surprise.” Troy said and winked at me.

Once we were back at the ballroom the guest have lined up towards the exit in two lines. Troy guided me to walk between the guest.

When we walked thru them they showered us with rice and roses.

”Congratulations to the newly weds.” Guests shouted.

A smile crawled slowly on my face. The warmth they gave us let me forget what just happened earlier.

”Thank you.” Troy said while ushering me outside.
