Wedding Eve Error

Chapter 12

She pouted when she saw the bottle of whisky in his hand, “I thought we agreed on no alcohol tonight?” she asked. He couldn’t bring himself to look at her, he gulped down another round of alcohol. “Babe What’s wrong?” He still did not look at her. She walked in front of him and tried taking the bottle of whisky from him but he was quick to avoid her. She stood there looking at him for a while with so much hurt in her eyes, “you are not even looking at me, what is going on?” he still did not look at her. Then, she cupped his face and raised his head to look at her. That was when he took a glance at her with so much disgust in his eyes, he also noticed how unkempt she looked; her hair disheveled, her dress rumpled and torn, enough evidence that what he saw was real because he couldn’t still believe it. He pushed her hands off his face. His attitude and the look in his eyes broke her heart but she ignored her feelings at that moment. She was just curious about the sudden change in attitude of this man in front of her, he is one of the few kind hearted and considerate people she had come across in her life. “My love, hey..please talk to me. Why are you behaving this way, did something happen? Did someone annoy you? Is it Rose?” she could not think of anything that could have gone wrong. She felt so frustrated to be in such situation with the man she love and she was fighting so hard to hold back her tears. Such a crybaby.

“Oh, you guys are here” she heard Mark’s voice, turned and saw him walking towards them. “Come on man! We agreed not to drink alcohol tonight so we could get up sober to prepare for the church service tomorrow, remember? It is your wedding tomorrow in case you needed a reminder and I only signed up to be your best man not a babysitter who will be nursing a hangover groom” Mark said teasingly when he noticed that he had almost finished the bottle of whisky he picked from their table. Then he noticed the state his friend was in and the look on his face when he got closer. “What is going on, am I interrupting something? I can go and come back later” Mark said while looking at Klara who had tears in her eyes already. “No no, don’t go Mark, maybe he will be able to talk to you because I have tried my best to make him say something to me but he has been this way since I got here. I don’t understand what is going on with him. Please make him say something, anything at all because his attitude and silence is breaking my heart” Klara cried.

“Hahaha..she actually has a heart. Everyone! Listen! She said I am breaking her heart!” Micheal finally spoke. Mark looked around but there was no one else with them, “Micheal, what is wrong with you man. You rarely get drunk, even when you do, you don’t behave this way. So what has gotten into you? Don’t you think someone might see you this way, it’s you wedding eve party for goodness sake and all eyes are on the both of you. So get your acts together” he said in a reprimanding tone. He looked at Klara who is now crying, “don’t you really think you are breaking her heart. Look at her, are you supposed to make her cry even on this day?” Mark asked in an annoying tone.

“All fake! She is all fake! Her tears, her personality, everything is all fake! Do not be deceived my friend!” Micheal said mockingly while pointing at Klara with an unsteady finger. This made her cry even harder. If anyone had told her today will turn out to be like this, she would have laughed at the person and called the silly. She hasn’t seen Micheal drunk and swore not to allow him to drink in the future as she thought that his behaviour was borne out of drunkeness. “Enough already, come on, let’s go to our hotel room” Mark said as he took the bottle of whisky Micheal was holding and tried dragging him.

“No man, before we leave, I need to ask this who*e a question and I hope to get an honest answer” he said disgustingly while pointing at Klara. She couldn’t believe her ears, “who*e? Me? I don’t know what is happening to you but don’t you think you are crossing the line by calling me a who*e? How can you even drink so much when you know that you can't hold it in. least of all on a night like this” she cried, then turned to Mark “wait, maybe there is something in the drink he took, was it drugged? I saw Rose at…” “Oh shut up! I do the questioning. You know the kind of people I despise the most? Pretenders, I hate people that pretend a lot. Own your s**t up no matter what, at least that way you will seem like a half human. Don’t go about with dual personalities, it’s a very irritating thing to do” Micheal retorted.

“Micheal! Please stop” Mark pleaded with him. Micheal looked at him and grinned, “I know what I’m doing man, just trust me” he then turned to Klara who seemed so shocked and was crying her heart out. “Did I rush you? Did I coerce you? You know, I have a million questions in my head, I tried finding an excuse for what you did, maybe you are not ready, or maybe you feel pressured by our families relationship that you agreed to be with me when you don’t want to.” At this point, Klara was totally lost and broken, “did I do something wrong? You can tell me what I did wrong and I will ask for forgiveness.”

“Hahahaha..forgiveness you say? you think every sin goes away just by asking for forgiveness? And stop pretending you don’t know what you did, it irritates me the more!” Micheal shouted. “I really don’t know what you are talking about!” she screamed in tears and frustration. “What happened, what did she do?” Mark asked. “Tell him, I think you will explain it better. Tell him how you couldn’t hold yourself even tonight of all nights. Tell him how you went to the bathroom to fu*k whoever he was I don’t care while pretending you were pressed” Micheal said mockingly. “What!” Mark and Klara shouted together in shock. Klara sniffed, “What are you talking about?” she was confused, the whole thing was getting more serious, she just needed someone to pinch her and tell her to wake up from the awful dream.

“Micheal, what are you talking about?” Mark asked in a low voice “we were all together when she left to use the restroom” he said. “And didn’t you notice she took longer than normal in the restroom?” Micheal asked. “Well..i wouldn’t know, you know I left with my girlfriend to our hotel room because she said she was sleepy, then I came back and couldn’t find you at table, you later came out of the restroom area looking lost, you then took the whisky on the table and left without talking to me or answering any of my questions” Mark said in confusion. “Well my friend, I saw something so disgusting, that was the reason I was speechless back there. I saw this who*e-to-be-bride of mine getting fu*ked in the restroom!” Klara didn’t understand what was happening or what Micheal was saying, she was just speechless. Mark opened his mouth and eyes in shock. “I know right, you can now imagine how I felt” Micheal said when he saw how shocked his friend was.
