Chapter 18: The wedding day.

The next morning , Alyssa was awoken by her mother.

" Mom , What is it ? " Alyssa asked lazily still in her sleep.

" You crump ! Have you forgotten it's your wedding day ? " Gladys asked slapping her daughter's shoulder.

" Mom ! " Alyssa yelled as she climbed off the bed.

" Mr Wong already sent a car to pick you. Please hurry ! " Gladys informed.

" Mom , Are you serious about this ? " Alyssa inquired.

" Hi , Hurry up ! " Gladys squealed.

*******

At Pearl Hotel.

Alyssa and Gladys were driven to the hotel where they got their make up done from and got dressed.

They were there when Clere and Jenny joined the room

" Wow , Aunty Alyssa looks so beautiful . " Clere commented with a smile walking to where Alyssa was sitted.

Alyssa hugged her and then cupped her cheeks. " You look more beautiful. " She said smiling at her.

" Really , Do you think that Sir Herman will be happy to see me ? " Clere asked.

" Ah..." Alyssa was amused. " Sure , He will .." She concluded.

" Okay , Guys get ready. Mr Wong and the guests are all waiting. " Jenny reminded.

Alyssa looked at herself through the mirror one last time when she covered her face with the gown veil. She heaved a sigh and then got up from the seat. Giving in her hand to her mother , Gladys held the hand and the two started walking together slowly.

" THE BRIDE IS HERE ! " The MC announced when all the gaze was turned at the entrance.

Clere was the first to come out as she through flowers onto the red carpet walking slowly with a smile .

Then , Alyssa and her mother came along walking to the rytheme of the song that was being played.

Clere finally moved aside when they were at the alter giving Gladys a chance to lead Alyssa's to David's spot.

The guests had been clapping while Alyssa moved along the red carpet . That's when Calcel also got a chance to see this step mother of his to be though her face being covered by the veil so she couldn't be recognized.

Gladys handed Alyssa to David when the couple walked to the Chaplain. Everything moved swiftly when it was finally time for the couple to make vows .

Before making vows , David moved closer to Alyssa with a beam and raised the net exposing her beautiful face .

" My g ! Isn't that Alyssa ? " One of the guests muttered.

" Yes she's the one. " The other one assured.

Calcel who hasn't paid much attention to the bride also lifted his head to find the worst shock of his life. It was really Alyssa , His new friend. The girl whose life she had saved and the same girl who had given him the best moment of his life the previous the day. Why was the situation like this. He then remembered her words.

" Am getting married tommorow ! " So she was really her. Calcel couldn't believe this , He kept on staring at her happy face in daze that he didn't even hear them make the vows. The last thing he heard was the chaplain saying.

" I now declare David and Alyssa as Wife and Husband. "

After the declaration , The guests clapped as David and Alyssa hugged each other when they left the alter joining the other people.

" Sir , Are you fine ? " Donald who was standing near Calcel asked realising that he was absent minded.

" Oh....ah...am...." Calcel came back to reality but surely had nothing to say.

" The other guests are congratulating your father. Let's go to him too.." Donald said looking at Calcel with a smile.

" I am...You go first. I need to use the washroom first. " Calcel said and excused himself.

In the washroom.

Calcel thumped inside and hurried to the sink where he opened the tap and got some water to wash his face.

' Why are my so hurt by this ? ' Calcel asked himself looking through the mirror at his reflection.

He slowly calmed down , Washed and dried his face and got ready to go back inside the hall.

In the hall.....

David and Alyssa had received enough of the best wishes from the guests when Donald came in.

" Congs sir , I can't believe you have finally made it. " Donald said

" Thank you. " Both David and Alyssa replied.

" Where is Calcel anyway ? , U haven't seen him ." David wondered

" He just recieved an emergency call but he will be back soon. " Donald said.

" Oh...I think work must be really giving him hard time that he even never got time to meet Alyssa from the beginning. " David thought.

" Oh , There he is .." Donald declared making both Alyssa and David turn to see him.

Alyssa couldn't believe her eyes. She widened them in shock not believing that he was really the same Calcel. But she had expected this when she heard that he has the same name so she wasn't afraid besides her excitement. He was her friend afterlol so there was no way he would hate her for this. She thought and gave her best smile ever.

" It's really you ? " Alyssa asked happily.

Donald and David frowned at this. Did those two know each other ?

" Wow , So you guys have ever met before ? " David asked to confirm his doubt.

" Ye....." Alyssa was about to say yes when Calcel cut her off.

" Not really. " Calcel said and turned to his father.

" Father.... Alyssa .. Congratulations. " Calcel said in his normal cold tone.

Alyssa didn't know why he looked hostile today but remembering it's his father she was married to she understood it was of course not pleasing.

" Thank you son..." David said patting Calcel's shoulders.

Alyssa looked a side and let David talk to his son.

" Always father. I am really happy for you. "

" Really ? "

" Of course Dad. Any son would be happy to see those father becoming successful. "

" That's why l love you my son. And I am so proud of you. "

" I love you too Dad. " Calcel said and hugged David.

After the hug , Calcel left and joined the other guests.

Soon the party came to an end and a car came to pick Alyssa and David for their honeymoon.

" Wow , You acted great ! " David commented when they were finally inside the car.

" It was my role to do so sir. " Alyssa responded.

" For real we made everyone believe that we are really a happy couple. My plans are going as planned. " David said.

" It's my pleasure sir. " Alyssa said and what followed was silence.

" I am...Sir , Where are we going ? " Alyssa asked a little scared. Going for a honey moon wasn't part of their plan at all .
