Engagement party
Engagement party
Even when we entered the hotel, I never saw Andrius again. A bodyguard stopped in a room while I could no longer see the steward. The bodyguard put my suitcase inside and left immediately. I wanted to ask where Andrius was, but I just restrain myself.
Even though I had only just awoken, I went back to bed and considered what the steward had said; I didn’t want to believe it at first, but given all Andrius had done, it didn’t seem impossible. I thought I was done bearing the weight of my chest, but I was wrong.
There was a knock on the door when I was deep in thought. I sprang to my feet because I thought it was Andrius. My heart leaped even more since I knew what the stewards had stated earlier was false. I smiled as I opened the door, and my excitement reached the sky, yet it was as if a hammer had struck my brain, causing me to comprehend everything.
“Good evening, Ms. Caroline. Sir Andrius is giving this to you,” he said, handing me a large, long box. As I glanced at the man who had handed me the gift, I pondered. I was seized with shock when I shut the door.
The box is black and you can see how expensive and elegant it is because it still has a red ribbon. I slowly untied the knot and the white dress opened up to me. Suddenly my heart rejoiced because of the paper that was placed. I read it and my eyes twinkled at the letter written.
“Someone will pick you up later. Wear that dress.”
There was no name, but I knew who sent it right away. I leap off the bed and sprint to the mirror. It’s a white evening gown with stilletos; I’m thinking about wearing it while dancing with Andrius. And just imagining it appears like I’m going to scream.
I couldn’t even sleep because I was so excited for later about what Andrius would do to me. I reached out and caressed my two flushed cheeks. I hope he does this all the time. I’m hoping he
doesn’t terrify me anymore. It wasn’t long before there was a knock on the door. I raced to open it when I noticed the man in the suit. This is most likely who will drop me off, and I was correct since he detailed the way to me while bowing. That’s so formal!
When we arrived at the venue, the crowd overwhelmed me. They all have clothes like mine, just unique designs of clothes. It’s as if the items were custom-made by famous designers. Everyone is busy. I feel like I’m out of place here. I didn’t even know one; I wanted to ask the guard why there were so many people, but when I looked behind me, he was gone. I thought it was just Andrius and me, but it was surprisingly so many people.
When the server approached me, I took a margarita and gulped it down to cheer myself up. I watched a lot of people laughing. I wanted to ask what was the occasion because I already looked ignorant.
Fortunately, a man approached me. Simultaneously with his approach was the turning off of the light. The blue spotlight is the only color left on the stage. The man next to me now is in business attire as he holds the wine in his hand. He moved toward me with a smile.
“It’s like I’ve only just seen you today and never encountered you at any parties. Is there a day that I haven’t attended a party?” He chuckles, then returns his eyes to the stage.
I can’t see his face well because of the darkness, but I know he’s attractive because just the shape of his body in the attire suit makes him addictive to look at. I was happy by what he said and at least he wouldn’t call me a peasant like I expect the rich to say whenever they see a poor person attending an event.
“I don’t belong here. Someone just invited me.” I still don’t take my eyes off him and think it’s true. If it weren’t for Andrius, I wouldn’t know that this is the look of the grand event when attending such a gathering. He didn’t turn to me and continued to stare at the stage, so that’s where I asked him.
“Anyway, what’s going on here? Why so many people? I thought we were the only two friends here, but I didn’t think we had many invited.” I asked him curiously. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
He now looked at me with a smile. “Where is your friend and is he leaving you here?” There I stared at him carefully because I was right in my suspicion that he was handsome because of the hazel color of his eyes. He is very much like Andrius. They have a resemblance. The only difference is that Andrius’ eyes are blue but the way they look to people is peace to be seen.
“I don’t know. His bodyguard just brought me here. He just left a note that I should wear this dress.” I showed him the dress, and he looked at me deeply.
“This event is—” He cut off. We looked at the stage as the people applauded and the man I was looking for and the woman I wanted to know came out. This is the woman I saw in the restaurant.
“Well, you see, this is an engagement party event.”
