Ally was sitting on bed with grandma, tears were forming at her eyes. I can't imagine what she's feeling right now. She hasn't met her dad in seventeen years. One phone call would've at least worked "Uncle Lester shouldn't have done this, he should've talked, she's getting married soon and today is her engagement party''
"Lester always does this. First, he gives his daughter's responsibility to us and now this…what happen to you? why are you crying?'' dad asks ally already frustrated by her.
"Dad why are you asking her like that she's already crying''
"You don't need to wipe ally's tears Austin; she already has her grandma there for her'' mom says
"Anyways I want to talk to you about something. Come''
Later at night ally (POV)
I was staring at myself in the mirror I'm wearing a shoulder slim a line with stand collar short sleeved light green dress. My hair was put on a loose pony tail attached with two braids with gardenias putted between the braids. I was wearing pearl earrings and a golden necklace with a green gem.
I never knew this day would come so early. Where I would be sent off to someone's life who I don't even know. Who I'm not even in love with. Don't even know what's going to happen after I get married. Even my dad won't be there to see me on my wedding day. If only he'd be here once. Just once for us to say goodbye before I leave.
"Ally, do you know who is the person on the world'' aunt Mimi comes behind me staring at me through the mirror "who knows someone's secret. If I wanted, I would've told you and Elliot's situation to everyone. But I didn't. it would only have been a one-time blast. Now you'll be afraid all your life if your secret gets exposed right? …What a wonderful game''
Austin (POV)
''mom, what's all this?''
''what?''
''there are a lot of lights and arrangements but no one came from our side''
''what do you mean?''
''what I mean is that you used to fill the whole house with guests on kylie's dolls wedding. Its our family's first wedding and nobody came''
''why don't you ask this question with your dad and grandma. They were saying they'll call everyone at the time when ally goes''
''what? Anyways let me go and see her''
Mom blocked my way to upstairs ''she was crying she was upset''
''she's not crying, she's perfectly fine. Now everyone will meet her after the engagement ceremony''
''alright then'' I muttered.
We all went out see the groom and his family. The garden was filled with bright lights and decorated with beautiful collections of flowers everywhere color coded. There was a stage at the center of the garden with comfortable white couch. Everything looked perfect. The guests came and I finally got to see the lucky groom. He looked like he's in mid-40's. does ally even knows this guy. Wait a minute. He's the guy that works for dad. Why would ally marry him.
''dad…you're getting ally married to Oliver?''
''yeah so. What's wrong with that? He is an innocent, naïve, and obedient boy, he worked for me for so long and never misbehaved''
''first of all, he is not a boy and secondly there's a difference between choosing a servant and a son in law''
''are you listening to what your son is saying?''
''Austin-
''he's right. What sort of men are they. These people seem quite different'' grandma says
''mom, a relation is tied with the whole family. What kind of guy have you brought for ally''
''Austin, ally will be happy''
''will she stay happy; I'm saying how will she live?''
''Austin, these are elders matters you won't be able to understand''
''she doesn't want to study or anything, she doesn't even an aim in life, what are we gonna do with a girl who's gonna stay at home uselessly?''
''okay but just why Oliver? Don't you think you're doing wrong with ally. Grandma say something''
''you came from tour, of course your gonna say these things. Mimi just go bring ally so we can start the ceremony''
''yes, Austin for goodness's sake just stay quite''
I sighed
Do they know what they're doing? Does ally know what she's doing? Does she really want this? Everything is happening so fast that I can't think straight. This was supposed to be a special day for her until she couldn't talk to her father for at least a goodbye and now this…
Ally comes out looking beautiful as ever with that light green dress and perfect brown hair with golden highlights. But it was her eyes. All the feelings I could see from her pure exquisite chocolate brown eyes. She was walked towards the stage and sat on the couch.
''shall we start the ceremony'' my dad asks
''yes, we shall. But let's talk first''
''about what?''
"Look the girl's father is settled abroad. I want him to take Oliver somewhere abroad''
''no, no I'm fine here. I want to stay here'' Oliver says
''stay quiet. You only fall for sluts'' Oliver's brother mutters. Did I hear that correctly
''look everything is decided for Oliver. Oliver will stay here then and we are making him our son in law and its not a small thing''
''that's the catch, what's so urgent that you want a guy like him to be your son in law?'' what is he trying to say?
''dad what is he talking about?''
''let me talk. Look you are here as a guest so stay that way''
''brother let me speak, I want to stay here''
''shut up although I am your step brother, I'm still your brother. I think there is something bad in this girl. Some fault'' I couldn't handle it anymore
''how dare you! How dare you say that about her'' rage was fuming inside me that I grabbed the guy by his collar, pulled him out of his seat. Dad pulled me from him. He was lucky I showed him mercy.
''Oliver something is here. Nobody gets angry this way''
The heck ''dad what is he saying?''
''Austin, I fixed my niece's wedding thinking he was innocent. How dare you talk to my family this way. You know what get out of here all of you'' everyone was out yet I was still fuming, pacing, I looked at ally and tears were forming in her eyes once again.
''even if you knew what kind of people they are then why did you-'' I took ally's wrist and took her away from here. We went back up to grandma's room. ''sit and don't you dare cry. Be thankful you've got rid of those disgusting people''
Ally wiped her tears with her hands ''if I wasn't there you would've gotten married. And take these off'' gesturing to the accessories she's wearing'' I sighed finally letting go of the little anger and sat next to ally. And helped her take the other earing off. There was a moment of silence. ''ally…no need to worry, okay? It happens'' I looked into her eyes as she nodded. ''they didn't deserve you'' I muttered. ''are you fine?''
''yes'' she whispered
''let me go and check everything outside
