Chapter 3
Once she heard this sentence she was kind of relived that he didn't ask anything weird but she wanted to be sure if that was it so she asked " Just that? "
Suddenly he remembered that his batch mates are gonna throw a party at The Plaze hotel for them so he said with a little bit of hesitation " Yeah..... Although there are some stupid batch mates of mine ware throwing a party at the Happy occasion of our wedding. But if you don't wanna come that's fine too I'll just make an excuse "
" That's fine I will go with you at the party " She said with a smile that could stole anyone's heart.
" By the way if you don't mind may I ask a question? " He asked
Jenny - sure
Joseph - So what's the name of this guy and why didn't general I mean your dad let you marry him?
Jenny - His name is James and he is the CEO of the Elaine group.Dad may have let me marry him but I think that it was my mistake that I hid my relations.h.i.+p from my parents. From the beginning when I was a small kid both my mom and dad wanted me to get married to a military guy. So now here I am married to you, a military guy.
Joseph felt sorry for her. He felt guilty because he was the pillar stone between Jenny and her love James.
" You take the bed from now on I'll sleep on the sofa " He said
The room was filled with nothing but silence and a weird atmosphere. She slept on the bed and he laid down on the couch. She was asleep after a while but he couldn't sleep because of the guilt. He was blaming himself for Jenny's separation from her love. He couldn't sleep all night he was twisting and turning on the couch. He didn't knew when the dawn came. The first thing he did in the morning was a phone call to his friend who knew a lot of businessmen so that he could take off his guilt a little bit
Phone Call
Joseph - Hey Jocob I need your help
Jacob- What is it?
Joseph - Yeah I need you to bring a guy who is businessman.His name is James the CEO of the Elaine group.
Jacob - Ok, consider it done already!
Joseph - Thanks. Ok I'll call you back
Just after the call ended Jenny came out of bathroom. Even if she was wearing conservative clothes she still looked gorgeous in Joseph's eyes.
Back then when he was in camp his mom sent him a photo of Jenny to him. The moment he saw the photo of her he felt in love with that photo. Just after seeing the he called his mother to tell her that he will marry her. It was a love at first sight for him.
And now he was seeing the person in front of his eyes
" I have showered. You can use the bathroom now. " She said while drying her hair with towel
The way she was standing in killed Joseph inside and without saying a word he rushed to bathroom.
At the breakfast table
Joseph was eating the breakfast like a kid would eat who is late for it's school. Her mom was getting annoyed in the manner he was eating so she yelled at him " Joseph! how are you eating? Is this a way a soldier would eat with no discipline and no manners? Are you in a rush or something? "
"Yes, yes I am in a rush and don't cook lunch for me I'll be out and will be back at 3:00" Just after saying this he left the house.
At 3:00
He was back and his eyes were finding Jenny
He asked his mother " Mom where is Jenny? " Her sister was standing there so she teased his elder brother a little.
" Oh come on weren't you satisfied last night by sister in law that you wanna do it in in the day light too and by the way how do you guys do it so silently? I mean there wasn't a single sound coming out of your room."
He was already angered and now he definitely was gonna explode but he knew how to control his anger and said in harsh yet sweet voice " Riley! you are still young for this kind of stuff. Look I'm not in a mood to tell what you should do or not so I will deal with you later. Mom where is Jenny? "
" You were finding me? " She appeared suddenly and asked
" Yeah I've brought this for you " He handed a bag while saying this. "See if it fits you if it doesn't we'll get it changed." He said
Hmm ok I'll see "
The dress fitted her like it was made for her.
In the evening
He was ready in a tight black tuxedo which highlighted his broad shoulders and his muscles. He was just setting his tie and was gonna tell her mom to call Jenny but the moment he opened his mouth to say so he saw Jenny standing at a little bit distance maybe just a few steps away from him. She was wearing the red long dress that he had bought for her. It was the first time that he had seen her in the dress with a real smile on her face. From top to bottom she was looking gorgeous. More gorgeous than her wedding day.
" You are looking gorgeous " He complement her.
"Thank You" She said
They went to the party. They were at the entrance of the hotel. Before entering the party he told Jenny " Look I have prepared a surprise for you. But before giving you the surprise I will introduce you to my friends and then leave you to your surprise and then at 8:00 we will have dinner. Sit with me at the dinner table then I will have drinks with my friends and you can do whatever with your surprise you want to do when I am with my friends " he said
They entered the hall that his friends have booked. The hall was full of people. Jenny was confused after hearing what Joseph had said to her at the entrance. She couldn't understand what was his 'Surprise'??
Joseph introduced Jenny to all her batch mates. He whispered to Jacob to ask if he had done the work he asked him to do. Jacob told him that he was sitting at the bar.
Joseph told Jenny to come with him to the bar which was in the same room at the corner.
" Here is your surprise " He said
She still couldn't understand what Joseph wanted to do. The person who was sitting at the chair facing toward the bar turned around. When Jenny saw the person was James she was so happy. But the moment she turned her head to right side.... It was empty. There was no one. She wanted to thank Joseph but she didn't got a chance at the time.
Now that she understood who her surprise was she did enjoy her surprise. They were talking and laughing
Joseph at the distance was just looking her happy face. He was looking how happy she was with him. While seeing this he already had two gla.s.ses of wine.
He was thinking " I wish I could make her that happy. But as long as you are happy I won't bother you. "
At dinner
Jenny sat with Joseph as he said to do so at the entrance. He whispered to Jenny and asked her if she liked her surprise or not?. Jenny said yes. Joseph was relieved by hearing those words. He ordered another gla.s.s of wine for himself. While the dinner was going on Joseph almost ordered 10 gla.s.ses of wine.
He actually didn't like to drink at all but today alcohol was the only thing that could help him drink his pain away. So even after dinner he drank a lot of alcohol. Jenny knew a little about Joseph and she did knew that Joseph didn't liked to drink at all.
She started to think " Joseph doesn't like to drink, right? Then why is he drinking alcohol today at such a high level? Is he drinking his pain away or something? Are you hurt?
Yes he is hurt!!!!! A lot!!!!!
