Wedding Dress Trauma : Lady Uchiha (sequel)
Chapter Four : Ruin All Over
Ballroom Night…
People of the business world had gathered to their invitation of the night's event. Business partners, associates and all who are in connection with had dressed to their best for the night. One of those important event's to business men in order to forge new or strengthening their relationships with one another, especially with the Uchihas.
"Well hello there, . You look stunning tonight," said in praise among the women. It is all about exchanging compliments whenever they meet one another.
"You look gorgeous as well, Miss Karin." The red haired woman who appeared in a strapless matching red gown smiled her fullest to the ladies' compliments.
"Ah, I am not too beautiful if I am to be compared to Uchiha Sasuke's wife," Karin grinned. The other ladies chuckled to that statement.
"Her? My, seriously she is one 'beautiful' person I have ever seen in my entire life!" one of the ladies uttered with sarcasm.
"Indeed, honestly I got the shock of my life when I learnt that Sasuke-san has quite the unique taste for girls. You know what I mean," posing in a glittering dress which emphasized on her perfect curvatures.
"Hush, you do not want to be too loud. There may be spies around and people like her are sensitive."
"I still do not understand why Sasuke-san does not choose you as his wife, Karin-san. You're smart and beautiful yet he chose a brainless, over-sized freak."
Karin spoke nothing but to smile. That was THE question she would like to know herself too. Even when she tried to pursue Sasuke, she ended up getting rejected. Twice!
ACHOO…
"Are you alright, my dear?" Sasuke spoke in concern to his beloved wife beside him before they could make an entrance into the ballroom where everyone awaited their arrival.
"Yes, I am fine," Sakura replied with assurance though there is one thing that she could not be too alright about.
The dress she promised Mikoto to wear to tonight's party was much not to her fitting even after the adjustments made.
Reason?
She did not know. Moreover, there were no other fitting dresses prepared for an option she had no choice but to force her way though. How she wished she had just worn Ino's.
Currently, she was barely breathing to the extent she had to stop to catch her breath for a while.
The crimson dress was a perfect choice to match her pink hair and it did took Sasuke's breath for that minute she stood before him but was simply not her size.
She even had to take careful paces in order not to break anything and that sneeze almost did.
"Ready?" Sasuke asked.
"Ready." She confirmed.
Warm greetings and handshakes welcomed the famous couple who stepped into the scene. Sakura held Sasuke by his arm as she smiled to the people at present and the media were crowding to get their pictures taken.
"Welcome Mr. Uchiha, and you look absolutely beautiful, my lady," the man held Sakura's hand a laid a gentleman's kiss. "Thank you for coming."
"I thank you for the invitation, . How could I possibly not attend," Sasuke shook hands with the man who laughed.
"You are much too humble Mr. Uchiha. I was also eager to meet your lovely wife since I could not make it to your wedding," Takagawa laughed more. "Why don't we have a picture?" Sasuke agreed.
"Please look this way and smile," the opportunity for the media. " you look stunning tonight. One more please."
Compliments.
Nice to hear, nice to hold not when the truth is untold.
Just for one night, Sakura was able to receive compliments out of all days, let it be it isn't sincere. She is hungry for them besides those spewed from Sasuke's mouth.
Among the ladies…
"Oh my gosh, would you look at that!"
"Isn't she wearing a similar dress as yours, Karin-chan?"
An identical one too. Karin lowered her eyes at the certain pink haired female on the other side of the room.
"She forced her way into it and she thinks she is beautiful," said one of the ladies, rolling her eyes in disgust. "Don't she knows no shame—Karin-san?"
The red-head female glided her way through the crowd towards the Uchiha couple with her luscious curves at her disposal. Her effort in capturing other's attention has effectively induced the idea of 'the proper dress'.
Sakura was astonished to the identical dress Karin has portrayed before her, Sasuke eyed the approaching woman.
"Ah, Miss Karin. How nice for you to join us," Takagawa welcomed.
"I wanted to meet Haruno-san for quite some time," Karin spoke, she then turned to Sakura with her grin. "I am Karin, pleasure to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you too, Miss Karin."
"Do call me Karin as you and I will be good friends." Sasuke could not help but to eye on the cunning woman, she returned with her stare.
"Mr. Uchiha, I would love to have you to give an opening speech for tonight's party," Takagawa asked in permission of the Uchiha male and did he agree.
Mentally braced, Sakura was prepared to pace along the red carpet which leads to the front stage. With Sasuke beside her she felt that there was nothing to fear for and she should be confident as to display the Lady Uchiha.
She was careful at her every movement due to her restrictive outfit to the extent she created an opening for her carelessness.
The thick carpet material was exceptionally hard to pace in her heels and her dress which flows behind her tend to grip against the carpet with a restrictive force.
This is bad…
There was no helping it, she had to keep her head straight to face everyone and Sasuke tend to remind her to smile whenever she worries about her difficulty in walking.
This is bad…
"Smile, my dear," Sasuke whispered between his.
"Sasuke, my dress tends to get caug—WAH!"
Present guests at the ballroom gasped and a stiff silence came over.
Not just did they witness Sakura's fall but also an unpleasant sound of a ripping fabric was audible.
Men turned away and women held their sniggers at the scene of a broken zip and a tearing dress. Sakura was too embarrassed to move another inch, rooted on the spot she clenched her teeth being on the verge to shed tears.
"Don't worry, I am here…I am here…" Sasuke immediately sheltered the fear-stricken female.
So much for being Lady Uchiha.
