His Unknown Wife

MICHAEL

I had multiple feelings right now I could not wait for her to enter the aisle and I could make her forever mine. This was all planned long back she wanted everything to be so perfect that she could not stop working on this. Olivia was always very particular about her personal things be it her hair, her makeup, her dressing. All had to be perfect or not be at all, also the fact that she let me be to myself and work on my own was the most relieving thing ever.

I was expecting Olivia to enter and this would be done with in some time and not take too long as I had to fly for a meeting and was to take Olivia with me but the meeting was canceled and I had to tell the same to her so she can plan something for the rest of the few days.

My Mother did not like her for some reason as she thought I was making this marriage decision too quickly but as the time passed my mother too realized that she really was a good match for me, she still have a lot of doubt but she was happy for me.

I could see everyone waiting with all the patience, and then suddenly the music was on, soon the whole room was filled with beautiful music and everyone looked at the entrance to see the bride arrive, but instead of Olivia, I saw one of the most beautiful girl walking with heavy steps and was searching for something or someone. I looked at her like I had my eyes glued on her. She reminded me of someone. I very well knew I had seen her somewhere else before.I saw her worried face and she was avoiding having any eye contact with me. I wondered if anything bothered her.

She walked towards me as though she was either forced to do so or she was not interested to do that. I should not be worried about that but her dress was complimenting her face more beautifully. He hair were in a loose bun and one of those tied hair had made its way out and was following the air direction. She looked at me once or twice and was trying her best to keep a smiling face she was hesitating while she did that to greet people around her and the people present there got suspicious as Olivia was taking too long to enter as everyone there expected Olivia to follow Serah.

The music suddenly stopped, and people started to look worried. In the midst of all the hassle going on I admired looking at her, I could see how beautifully she was crafted, well that might not be the right word, but she really did look beautiful. I also observed that almost everyone in the room looked at her as though she was the center of attraction.

I could not take my eyes off her as I was drowned so much in her. I knew something was wrong and she was worried about something. She did look at me once, but she immediately looked away like she was avoiding making an eye contact with me. But I was not sure if she would remember me.

She walked ahead and then saw someone in the crowd and went to talk to her. She bends down and whispered something to Olivia's Mother Amber. I could see Amber shocked but my whole concentration was still on her. Amber stood and looked at the crowd and started to walk out of the gathering. I saw that girl stand there for some time. She again gave a brief glace at me and looked away.

Why isn't she mine.!!!

What why what why isn't she mine have I become a pervert already....

This thought bought me to reality.

"Damn you Michael what are you thinking she is not yours" I mentally scolded myself.

I also knew somewhere this was wrong of mr and I should not be behaving this way just some time before my own wedding I was not being disrespectful to anyone but I also don't want to ignore this women.

My attention then shifted to see her now follow Amber and I was stressed I was not sure what was going on and when I looked at my mother, she had a face that defined only one thing, that I was in some big trouble for not considering her decisions. I closed my eyes and gave a slight nod with my head to confirm my mother that I shall soon find out what was going one. I could not see what's the issue but my mother was not liking any of this my mum is a little orthodox and does not appreciate more delay in some auspicious celebration. It was not like a mother hated Olivia it was just that she was not sure about me and her as a couple. My mother told she never saw that sparkle between the two of us that a married couple should have she liked the fact that I was settling finally because i thought I was ready for it and Olivia and I were having a good bond that can be taken forward. We both knew that we also have personal boundaries and we need to respect that we never interfered in each other's life and I thought it was cool but not my mum.

I walked behind the two ladies and yelled "Amber". Both turned back and looked at me and I took a deep breath pushing all the thoughts and urges to talk to this girl. I walked pass her and quickly walked to Amber.

"What's going on?" I asked her.

"Can we talk Inside" she said pointing at Olivia's room.

I nodded my head and said, "after you".

While we walked inside, I saw that girl follow us inside. With the current situation that was going on here in front of me and inside my damn head, she being present around me and Olivia would just be a mess for me.

Sarah.

I was so tensed and doomed at this point I had looked for her everywhere I still could not find her anywhere. I had the letter with me, and I did not know how to react on this.

At one point I even thought this was some kind of a prank and I almost yelled Olivia's name, "this is not funny anymore please come out " I was expecting a loud laugh but I could not.

I did not understand why she did do this. Why did she leave when she was getting married with all her concern she was happy she always wanted this. She has always wanted to marry and settle with a good life ahead of her and suddenly she does this.

I honestly felt very bad for the Micheal as he was already waiting for Olivia to arrive and this lady is no where to be found I checked the wash room again but nothing to be found I don't understand when did she even leave and how and where and with whom and most of all why now when everything was going as per her instructions she had been planning for this day from so long and she sounded happy every time.

I also thought that she might have got kidnapped or something but if that was so we could have not got this note and instead there would be a ransom call. But nothing yet.

How can she.... That guy loved her so much. She too was so madly in Love with him or so is what she told me I'm not sure how that could be even possible if she really loved how can she just. Damn what the hell do I do. Should I inform all or should I just run away. I have never been in a situation like this what would I do what would anyone do what will happen if this is all out. I was going insane thinking of the reactions I could get.

How will I face all of these people I do not know if Micheal will even leave me alive I really fear this man and now that he is has this news he would be at a biggest rage and I do not want to face him also he is ready to marry her I'm sure he too wanted this and now that this seems all over what next!

Why? Why the hell did I get this letter, oh God that's that most scary part I have no Idea what and whom should I say this to and why should I should I too run away so I escape the reality. Oh my what's even wrong with me if it was anyone else, they could have handled this situation way better than me. Whom should I tell this about first?

These are the times when my brains officially stop working it be like, 'nope not gonna happen, no thinking here'. Only and only if I could make all these thoughts running in head turn into a physical object, I could get these kinds of thought out of my head and hit them so hard that it would be lying on the floor bleeding. I looked at the floor and saw a paper lying there, I went ahead to pick that up and thought that Amber would have brought this whole place down if she knew this room wasn't clean.

Amber, yes Amber I can talk to her she should be the first person to know about this, after all Olivia is her daughter she should be the fist person also she can handle this way better without further ado I quickly ran to talk to Amber before my mind would create other all useless things out of this very situation. As soon as I entered the stupid musician guy played the music that they were supposed to play on Olivia's entry. How can they not make difference between the bride and bride's maid? And the fact that the music was playing people would expect the bride walking right behind me. At this situation could not wave my hands in air and yell, 'hello this isn't the bride'.

Oh, good great God that sounded to mean how can I even think of all these things in the midst of the hassle. I'm such a disgusting person. No no no this was not about me now this is something major, and something that needs immediate attention. The musician however understood that the bride isn't coming any time soon and he stopped the music bring me relief.

I quickly ran to Amber she was sitting in the front row. I glanced at Michael who was looking at me back. I quickly looked down as I could not face him, not with the thoughts as to what will happen later when he knew all this. That very thought got shivers in my body.

I went on to Amber and said, "she is not there", Amber looked at me and she was all confused I handed her the letter and once she read that, she immediately stood and looked at the crowd and slowly muttered, "so many people" she said while taking a deep breath she immediately walked out of the room, she walked as fast as she could, and I stood there looking at Michael and thinking how he would react on all this. I could not imagine his reaction and the only thing I did was, I started walking behind Amber.

On our way to Olivia's room we heard Michael calling out for Amber. He quickly walked pass me and spoke to Amber. He had no idea about what was going on. Amber did not want any hassle so she asked Michael to get inside so we could talk. Meanwhile Taylor was in the room with us, he entered when Michael was reading the letter written by Olivia. While he read that letter, he seemed all lifeless. After some time of silence, we had Mr. and Mrs. Smith who joined us, that was when they understood that Olivia was gone.

Michael

I had no idea what was going on. Once I entered the room when I realized that Olivia was not there and before I could ask Amaber any question, she looked at me and looked down and nodded her head . Her actions made me realize that Olivia was not in here. She was gone. She left me on our wedding day.

To make things worse my parents followed us inside to know what was going on with their look. I could tell that they were already aware that Olivia was not here. My mother looked at me and I could not look her into the eye. I did not even had the guts to talk to her what would I tell her that she was always correct and I was not she was already giving me the look that I should have taken her advice on this and kept myself away and not commit. I did not know how to react on all this. I thought this was going to be a great day as everything was planned in a manner that should have not been a worry. I was happy may be I was telling that to myself even if I was not happy atleast I knew I was doing the right thing. My parents were always against all this they never wanted me to marry Olivia for some reason and she just proved them right.. Seeing them in this room just made things worse. What will I answer them?

Why did she do this, whatever it was we would have sorted it all out. She never told or asked me anything she was always to herself and made sure I was given more space she knew that handling the business was not an easy task and she gave me as much space this is what made me be so attracted to her. I too was equally like her we had such a great understanding. What went wrong was she out of love with me. But I loved her and she.......

While I was drowned in all this thought, I saw a paper hanging Infront of me when I looked at the person who was holding it was the same girl I saw talking to Amber. When I saw her, I was about to ask her if we had met before. Even before I could say anything, she said, "Read this" and handed me over the letter she had in her hand. I still did not know who she was, but I know I had seen her before.

I read the letter....

'Hi Micky...

I'm so sorry baby that I'm not there for you...

But this is what I wanted and I was never ready for this and I could not tell you as your excitement was way too much and I had a lot to do in my life I wanted to be a model and marriage would ruin that and I could not be here for this reason alone...

I wanted to do something else anything else but not marriage, I wanted to be with you with no commitments. I never knew how you got involved in me so much when I myself was not involved in this relationship as much as you.

I don't even know from where you got this idea of marriage when we had decided that this will only be a relationship as long as we want with no commitments.

But you always being you had forced me into this. I had to make all these arrangements because you left me with no option. Yes, I seemed excited so that I keep you distracted and convince you that I was equally involved but the intention behind the excitement was only to keep you happy, that way I could also plan what I had to do.

I'm sorry it had to end this way.

But it did..

Sarah might have the ring, she will pass it to you.

I'm sorry.

- Olivia.'

I was shocked after I read this letter, I was so frustrated. I left so helpless I had always been so calculative about so many things and this too was the same but did I rush way too fast for this one . I could see a hand extended In front of me and it had the ring I gave Olivia. I remember getting this ring after we had visited almost 3 to 4 shops and finally settled for this one I wanted it to be the best as that is what Olivia wanted I also remember missing a lot of my appointments .

When I looked at the person who had the ring in the hand i saw it was Serah and I had this feeling of grabbing her, and I exactly did the same thing I snatched that ring from her hand and threw it. I pulled her closer to know it was Serah and she looked shocked but when she saw my face she has a sympathy look she too was upset for me. Seeing her that way I felt sad that she was upset for a moment I was so lost in her that I was not that upset of what happen to me instead I was unhappy seeing her upset.

All this was so damn confusing why did Olivia leave and why is this women in front of me and why I'm I loosing it all around her what will she think of me and why I'm I so interested in her and so suddenly I remember seeing her before she had created a same distraction even then and now at this time too. She has some weird type of attraction, for some time I also felt that it was not that bad that Olivia left I thought that I have her with me and that was enough.

I pushed all this thoughts away and was so felt so bad and odd and felt like I was some pervert who was checking another woman soon after my would be wife left all this rushed out as anger and I grabbed her from her hands and shouted, " why why all this damn thing now why!!!!!"

She looked....so perfe.......
