1130 Words
It’s been half an hour and Sidney was standing steadily at the front stage. People were quite busy as usual without making certain expressions but father seemed so irritated as the bridegroom has not arrived yet.
She was waiting for her future husband. She wasn’t known his name, his looks, his choice or anything about him. She looked not interested in that wedding but there was still a beat in her heart which was rising with the time. Suddenly a car came at the door. It was fully decorated from left to right with blue roses. Her heart skipped a beat as she sensed someone’s presence behind her. She turned behind and looked that man.
He had wore a simple jacket with his head was lowered. He doesn’t look like a person who was going to marry. She started looking here and there. But nobody was around her. Suddenly her gaze went over a box which was held by that man.
"Hello Mam, My master has sent these shoes for his marriage. Due to some important work, he probably couldn’t attend his marriage. So you should consider his shoes and proceed with marriage." The man said without looking at her.
How shameless his master is! What is he think about this marriage? Is it a joke to him? Marrying with his shoes? The person who has many important work besides his marriage? She had not married with him yet he started considering her as a trash? Sidney clenched her fist in anger. Her face became so pitiful. The people also started staring at her. She thought to run away from this place as soon as possible. But she thought about her autistic sister who could be thrown out from that care center anytime. Even if she is being treated wrong, she still have to accept this marriage. She stood still in front of father. The father has looking at her irritation. In his life of father, he had not seen such situation where bridegroom could not attended his marriage because he was so busy and sent his shoes as his representation.
"Are you going to marry this man who has sent their shoes here?" Father asked her as he understood the confused face of that girl.
"Start the procedure of the marriage. I am still ready to marriage with this man. I am accepting this man whose these shoes belong to." Sidney said confidently. She thought just for a year. I would like to consider this person as my husband. Father started procedures of marriage.
The people were sitting behind her started laughing at her. Everyone wondered how she’s getting married with those pair of shoes. They were paid relatives so they didn’t know whose this marriage was going on. There was one person who was sent by careen gray to keep an eye on Sidney. She was afraid that Sidney could run away any time. That person informed everything to Careen Gray.
"How will she spent her first night, her husband didn’t come today. How pity!" The people behind her started whispering.
"Now you and Mr. Roger had married. Congratulations to both of you." Saying this father went out of the church.
Sidney turned behind, the man who brought that shoes kept those shoes in the box again and asked her to get in the car which was standing at out of that church. Sidney followed him and entered in the car. The car took her to the Villa which was nearby that church. That villa was owned by Rogers and under the name of Eric Roger. He just had booked so many villas to make some investment regarding to property.
The car dropped her to that villa and went back. She entered in it with her bag. It had huge entrance with a fountain at the front of the gate. She passed through that entrance. It has a big garden at behind it and its own vineyard too. There was pin drop silence in that area. There was no any other house around it. The villa was nothing but three storey luxurious building which had red bricked Victorian architecture. She opened the lock with the key which was given to her. The first storey was having dining hall and main hall. SO she went to the second storey which has her bedroom. Each and everything of that room was white in colour. The curtains, the bed sheet, sofa cover most of the thing was in white. She felt something weird about knowing the preference of such man.
She arranged her things in the wardrobe and sat on the bed. The villa seemed so haunted to her as there was no anyone in that entire three storey building except her. She sat and waited for her husband but he didn’t arrive. She started thinking what kind of marriage is it only a name marriage. She was forgetting her many years of love for this marriage. The day Arthur returns, she does not know what he will say about it. If this marriage is only for one year, then she will try to remain completely virgin in these one years, If this does not happen, she will never be able to meet Arthur. Thinking about him she started crying heavily. She does not know when she was lost in her sleep.
In the club when Eric arrived, Victor was surprisingly come to him. He always tried to make Eric irritated.
“Congratulations Mr. Eric Roger for your marriage. I must say by this time you have to be with your newly wedded wife. After all it’s your first night. I guess you are still virgin. Should I give some tips to you?” Victor said him teasingly. He was pouring a whisky in the glass for both of them.
“If you are so worried about her then why don't you go to spend the night with her. Anyway, you are quite experienced in this matter. You go and satisfy that girl very well. I f*****g don't care for her.” Eric said irritatingly and took one glass of whisky to take a sip of it.
“I also have no interest in that cheap girl. It was your father forcing me to marry that girl. Now you have my trouble. When you go to her tell her congratulations from my side. Have a happy married life for a year.” Saying this victor took a glass of whisky and gave him bottoms up. Eric was looked at him with a fire in his eyes. He understood that it was all planned by Victor to avoid this marriage and taking revenge from his dad. Now he had to continue this marriage for one year according to their deal. He drank that whisky and booked a room in that club to sleep.
