As the bride stepped on aisle, slow music started playing in the background and everyone sitting on aisle seats turned their head to look at her. She was looking beautiful in white wedding gown with a bouquet of lilies. Zayn's favorite. She smiled at him gently who was standing near the priest and watching her approaching him. As soon as she gave her hand in his, I felt my heart break silently.
I was sitting in between the people and watching them as the priest was asking everyone that 'does anyone have a objection?' I wanted to scream out my lungs that 'Yes! YES!', but I stayed quiet and slightly smile which was obviously a fake one.
As they exchange rings and smile at each other, I imagined myself in place of her because I loved Zayn but he doesn't love me. I was his friend of course. I have no right but to be happy for my friend.
Suddenly Zayn face darkened as the priest asked him 'does he accept Natalie as his wife?' He didn't respond and turned around, searching for someone. Suddenly his eyes met mine but I slightly smiled.
He didn't smile back and leave Natalie's hand before walking towards me. I felt like I got what I want. I was happy but then I heard everyone's clapping as the groom and bride shared a kiss.
It was all my dream which get broke once again. Zayn was my friend and he'll not look at me like the way I do. He'll never adore me the way I do. He has a wife now and I'm left alone. I smile sadly and stood up as the girls gathered to catch the bouquet of lilies.
I didn't want to catch that stupid lilies but I have no choice. I can't disappoint my friend so I stood with other girls with my interlock fingers. I didn't even look at them because if I do, my heart will explode and maybe.. maybe I can't stop my tears after that.
Speaking of tears, why this drop of tear escape from my eye? I immediately wipe it, not to get caught by anyone. Natalie threw the bouquet and girls jumped to catch it. A girl accidentally hit me and I stumble back until an arm wrapped around my waist from behind to support me.
His other hand caught that lilies but my eyes were looking at him. He was handsome then before but wait... Josh!! No way!! Why?!! I pulled away while looking at him and felt my heart thumbing inside my chest. Josh was my enemy because we both were academic rivals.
"There.." He smiled gently and forward me those lilies. I don't want them but Zayn was watching us. I didn't say anything and grabbed those lilies quietly. Zayn smiled and then kiss the temple of his wife. I felt like crying but I pressed my both lips to held back my tears.
"You know you should just let it go.." A familiar voice whispered in my ear and I burst into tears. A pair of strong arms pulled me in its embrace and I cried with my heart out. Those lilies dropped on the floor a long ago but neither my tears stop flowing nor the hand which was stroking my hair to soothe me.
