CRYSTAL POV:
Anne and her mum gave me pleading looks to calm my dad but I didn't care. I was going to be strong. I was tired of getting hurt.
"Dad"I called out.
He looked at me with gently eyes.
"Divorce her"I spoke boldly and both Anne and her mum froze.
"The papers are here" Estrella called out as she entered back into the hall.
I ran towards her and took the papers from her hands.
Luckily, she had four. As a confirmation for the divorce and I handed two to dad.
"Please divorce her. I don't need a mum now. I'm all grown up. Let's go back to the good days of just us. Please dad." I said as I placed two of the papers on his hands.
He looked shocked and taken aback but then have a bright smile and hugged me.
"My little girl is all grown up. I'm sorry for this. I should have done this sooner."
He signed first and squatted down to Amaya, Anne's mum. "Sign" he said coldly. Amaya looked at him in horror "I won't" she rejected but a glare from my dad made her change her mind.
She grabbed the pen and signed her name as Anne glare at me. I collected the remaining two and threw walked towards Harold.
"Sign"I said coldly.
"Please no. I promise, I'll be a good husband. I love you Crystal" he pleaded but it went to deaf ears.
"Sign it boy" my dad roared and he immediately grabbed the pen in fear and signed both papers.
I felt relieved and free. It was first and shortest wedding I had attended and I was glad it was over. Estrella hugged me gently and collected the papers.
"It will be official by noon tomorrow " she said and she folded the papers perfectly in half.
My dad kissed my forehead.
"Let's go Angels. We have a feast to finish". Estrella and I held my dad's hand and left the venue. My uncle and others left, leaving Harold, Anne and her mum on the floor with swollen and embarrassed faces.
