To See You Again
CH1 - The wedding
Carmen went into a big majestic building. The first person to see her was her mother, Ingrid Cortez.
"Honey!" she cried when she saw her daughter.
"Mum!" young lady hugged her mother.
"I'm so glad you made it. God, you don't know how hard it was not to see you for so long" Ingrid gave her hag back.
"Believe me, I do" Carmen smiled. "So, where's dad and the most important - Juni?"
"They are both getting ready for the wedding. In church. I think we should go there now, your brother wanted to see you before he will get married" and Ingrid led her daughter to the car and they started their way to the place where in two hours Juni would become a husband.
"Are you happy, mum?" Carm smiled.
"Of course, I am" her mother smiled back. "I'm happy for him and for her"
"I didn't get to know her, actually. Penny, if I'm not mistaken"
"Yes. She's really nice. Well, you'll get a chance to know her, won't you? I mean, I hope you will stay with us for a while..." Ingrid stopped the car and looked at the young woman next to her.
"Sure! You can be sure about that. I'm not planning to leave you for some time!" she hugged an older woman again.
"I'm happy to hear that. OK, the wedding would be in an hour and you need to change. Then at 10 p.m. there would a party. Are you tired, dear?"
"A bit. I had a long flight from London, you know. But I'm not too tired not to go to my own brother's wedding!" Carmen tried to say it in a strict way but it seemed more "yeah-I'm-tired" one.
"I see. Here we are: St. Martin's Church" announced Ingrid.
Both of them went out of the car and entered the beautiful cathedral. Carmen admired them in England and had no idea that America had something to show her too.
Ingrid showed her daughter the way to a small room in the end of the church where Juni was supposed to be. Carmen went in and saw her brother in front of the mirror.
"You know, I would say I look mach batter then you as always but not today" she said smiling.
"Carmen?" young man turned to face her and at the other moment he was already hugging and kissing her. "Goth! I haven't seen you for how long? For 10 years!"
"Yeah! I can't believe it too!" it was a bit hard to breath in Juni's arms.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just so happy you came. I must introduce you to my future wife" Juni took her hand.
"Wait up. You shouldn't see your fiancé now!"
"You're right! I still can't believe it. You're here after 10 years!" he sat into the large armchair.
"Me too.." she sat next to him putting her arms around him.
"It's time to go, son..." Gregorio Cortez went in the room.
"Hay, Dad!" Carmen jumped and "flied" to her father.
"You came back!" cried Mr Cortez.
"Don't want to interrupt you but isn't that time for the wadding to begin?" they heard Juni's voice.
"Right!" said Gregorio.
"You go. I'll get change in a couple of seconds and then I'll finely see you becoming a husband" Carmen closed the door after two men.
In 15 minuets Ingrid, Gregorio and Carmen were sitting on the first places near the altar. Juni was standing there nerves a bit. Beside him two his best men: Arnold and Chris.
Soon the music started playing and the bride showed up with her father. Penny was really very nice and beautiful in snow white dress with the bouquet of flowers in her right hand.
Carmen watched how her one brother put the ring on Penny's finger and said "I do". She did the same and they became a husband and a wife.
"Carmen!" she heard Juni calling her.
It was now 11:30 p.m.. The party time.
Carmen took her glass of wine and came up to the married couple.
"Carmen, it's my wife Penny. Penny, my sister Carmen" Juni said happily.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" cried Penny. "I've heard so much about you from Juni"
"The pleasure's whole mine" answered Carmen. "I hope we'll get to know each other batter"
"Of course" Juni joined the talk. "But now excuse us, sis, My wife and I are going to have our first official dance"
In the other corner of the Hall three men were talking about the wedding and their lives: Chris Torn, Jack Sudny, and Gary Giggles.
"I guess Juni's going to be very happy with her" said Chris.
"I'm sure about it at...the wadding night" commented Jack.
The three of them laughed at that statement.
"So with whom are you here?" wondered Jack "Because I'm all alone"
"Me too" answered Gary looking through the crowd.
"Are you Gary Giggles?" joked Chris.
"Yeah, I know. Sounds strange but it's true" he laughed once again.
"Found someone here?" Jack asked.
"No, everything's too complicated for me"
"Oh...wah..." they heard Chris whispering.
"Whet? God damn it!" Jack stared somewhere.
"What's wrong with you two?" Gary looked at the direction his friends were looking.
He saw a gorgeous young woman. Dark haired, her figure was perfect. For some reason she was alone.
"Damn! I'll take her" said Gary.
"I saw her first" protested Chris but Gary was already on his way to the beautiful stranger.
Carmen watched Juni and Penny dancing when she heard:
"Can I ask you for a dance?"
She faced the guy who was talking to her:
"I guess why not" Carmen took his hand and he led her to the dancepol.
They danced the whole night. At about 4a.m. Carmen was too tired to dance more so she asked her partner to go take a breath of air. He agreed and went to the balcony.
"How do you know Juni?" asked Carmen.
"I work with him. We didn't get along at the start but now are kind of a team" Gary replayed smirking. "And you?"
"Oh" Carmen stopped a bit. "I'm his family. Well. I was until I went to England to work there"
"I know what is that. One of my closest friends moved there"
"You know. It's great to talk to you but I had a long flight and I'm really very tired" Carmen was trying to smile but she was too tired even for this innocent action.
"Can I then give you a ride home?" Gary didn't want to let her go just like that.
"No, I've got a car here. But thanks"
"Will I see you again?" he didn't want to go cercal and just asked straight.
"Maybe" she gave him a card. "It's my phone. Call me and then we'll see"
Then she was gone...
