She stood at the altar in her white bridal dress. She looked like an angel fallen from the heaven above, waiting for love of her life. The excitement of new bride sparkled from her eyes. Her fair skin resembled the snow white beauty with natural blush enhancing her beauty. Her copper red hair was perfectly made into bun which might have taken hours due to it's unruly nature. However few strands had managed to break out of the bun.
It had been hours. There were soft whispers about her late bird 'groom'. Where was he? Why couldn't be on time at this special occasion? Her heart questioned her like innocent child out of curiosity. Did he get weak knee about this marriage stuff? No! This can't be ! Love is reckless, her conscious advised. Did she make such decision due to reckless love without even thinking of possibilities?
She didn't cry. Crying is for weak hearted souls.She was definitely not weak. She had learnt the art of being unaffected by decision she makes or people she lets inside her life. Maybe he was held up somewhere. He would surprise her within few minutes. She was ready to be surprised and wait for him. She had waited for him for many years and few minutes were nothing.
A small girl ran towards her with piece of paper. She handed the paper to the bride. The bride looked at paper. It was old and yellowish paper. She recognized the neat calligraphic handwriting. It was from him. He had asked for forgiveness and mentioned that he had found new love. He had also mentioned that he wasn't ready to commit and was deeply smitten by new love. Hence he had left her because he did not want to destroy three lives due to this marriage. She was in pain. She was devastated. She needed something to soothe the pain.
She threw the bridal bouquet and stomped outside the church. Her subconscious mocked at her ignorance and soft nature. She wanted to scream at highest level the sound could reach. She wanted to destroy his life. How dare he says that he didn't want to destroy three lives? He had broken her heart, tore her belief and killed her love only because he didn't want to destroy three lives. The demons inside her laughed at this terrible joke.
She spent the whole night thinking about how she could break out of this mess. What she could do to come out of this messy heartbreak? Will she send a bounty hunter to get him killed? Will she go and catch him red handed with his lady love and kill them instantly? Many ideas struck her head. But she couldn't zero on one idea.
