Ch-100
Chasina went to every person, from seat to seat, and spoke with every guest, who is present in the venue.
No one expected her to behave like this.
The happy wedding which has to end with the bride throwing her bouquet to the unmarried woman is ended up with the bouquet being withered.
Chasina gave a toast to everyone.
She is very tipsy. She is not a good drinker. She always hated drinks but she learned to drink for certain occasions. Her alcohol capacity is the worst.
But she drank a lot today. She drank wine at every table. She downed a whole glass of wine with each member.
She didn't care about her image.
She just drank mindlessly.
She didn't even keep in mind that her family is present.
Alexander, Edward, and Adiana stared at Chasina as she drank and accompanied the guests.
They didn't hold her back. Because she is trying her best to stay strong.
Even they are surprised when they heard that she will turn the wedding into a party instead of calling it off.
But they didn't say anything. They knew how many grievances she was holding. But they didn't say anything. They just let her do the things according to her wish. They just stood aside and watched over her.
Chasina couldn't take it anymore. She is about to fall due to her tipsiness. But Laura came in time and held her.
She carried Chasina with the help of Adiana to the Bride room.
Laura stayed along with Chasina while Adiana went to send off the guests.
She smiled and bowed to them silently. It's already evening when the party was ended.
Chasina is taken back to home by Rosella's family and Laura. Laura and Adiana helped her change her clothes and wash up.
After they were done washing her up, they tucked her in the bed.
Chasina slept like a baby. Her face flushed. Her cheeks turned red. Her lips puckered into a small pout making her look adorable.
Rosella's family and Laura sat in the dining room during that night to have dinner.
Alexander felt sad for his daughter. He is afraid of losing her when he was giving her hand to 'that' person. But now he is very sad about how the things turned around than sending her away.
She didn't say a single word. She neither cried more cried. She will just hold everything to herself.
She concealed everything with her smile and stubborn attitude.
Alexander sighed as he thought.
Laura who saw it, "What are you thinking, father?" She asked.
Adiana who sat beside her patted on her thigh shaking her head which meant don't ask him anything.
"My Child, even when she is on the verge of breaking down. She held on to herself and stood on her ground. She didn't run away from the problem instead she stood straight and smiled at it. She is grown up. She is my child. I'm proud of it," Alexander said he burst into tears.
He still remembers how his daughter stood in the altar standing straight blinking away her tears, clenching her fists, and tightening her jaw.
Her longing gaze mixed with sadness and feeling lost. He is familiar with that expression because he had the same expression when he lost his wife. He understood that feeling.
"She is my sister. Of course, she will be strong. If she had cried or ran away from the venue then what is so different about my baby girl? Only she can turn the tables around like that. If she can, she can even create another world. She doesn't even know her capabilities.
"Anyway, it's better that the wedding was called off. If not I don't know how she would have coped up with that untrusty bastard!" Edward said suddenly.
It's the first time for him to speak so seriously about Chasina. Everyone knows he loves her to the core. But this is the first time he has shown it out.
Everyone is stunned at that moment. But Alexander isn't. One of Edward's words caught his attention.
"Why it was good?" Alexander asked.
"What?" Edward said in confusion.
"You said it's good that the wedding is called off. Why?" Alexander asked as he explained clearly.
"Because it shows how untrustworthy he is. If he wanted to leave. He has to tell us first if he wants to leave.
"And also Chasina is a patriot too like him. She asked him to leave after putting the ring. She didn't ask him to make vows or something.
"But he simply said that he will hold another wedding and left just like that as if it is nothing! He has the time to speak with President P. A.
" President P. A. explained things on his behalf. He didn't even bother to apologize, not even to Chasina.
"Maybe he is the disciple of President P. A. But he is a person who is going to share his life with Chasina. He is going to be the father of our baby girl's children. His attitude and way of handling things are wrong.
"He should know how to give priority to certain matters. Yes, maybe the country needs his attention but he should know that his actions are more important in Chasina life. She was broke by him for the third time.
" First, he met her hiding his identity.
"Second, he used her in luring the enemy out which almost caused her life!
"Third, When Chasina is going to hand her life over to him. He tossed it away just like that!
" There are a lot of men to serve the country!
"Yes! I agree he is capable. But he should show his capabilities in his life matters too.
"If someone else is given the chance and trained to become a soldier, then they will also give their fullest capabilities on the battlefield but it doesn't mean they have to suck another life just because they are going to the battlefield!" Edward fumed as he said.
Everyone felt Edward's words made sense.
And they felt Henrieth acted like, Chasina didn't mean anything!
It's unacceptable.
Edward cannot control his anger. He slammed his cutlery on the table loudly.
"I'm full," he said. He stood up from his seat and turned around. He is stunned for a second but the next moment he revealed a big smile.
"Baby Girl," he called out. His voice attracted everyone's attention in the hall.
"When did you wake up? Huh? Come, join us for dinner," he said with a doting look on his face.
Laura fell on the ground with a loud thud.
"What are you doing?" Adiana asked with a 'what the f*ck* look.
"It's just I'm so shocked! I have seen a gentle look on his face for the first time in my life," Laura said still rubbing her butt. She got up and sat in her seat.
Chasina came down still rubbing her eyes.
"I just woke up and saw brother is standing from his seat. Brother, are you coming up for me? Because you can't eat without me?" She asked with a cute and spoiled expression.
"Yes, yes," he said.
"Then feed me," she asked with a pout.
Chasina is wearing a loose white shirt paired with shorts. She looked younger than her age.
"Sister-in-law, can you make a hotpot for me, after you down eating?" Chasina asked.
Adiana nodded her head.
Adiana quickly ate her food and went to prepare the hotpot.
Meanwhile, everyone is stunned at Chasina's actions. Since she is not willing to share they are not going to force her to say the things.
Chasina heard everything. But she didn't say anything. She felt that she should let him go. She felt he won't make a good father to her future children. She felt he cannot give a complete family to her children.
After nearly forty minutes, Adiana came with a piping hot hotpot noodles.
Meanwhile, everyone at the dining table didn't lift their cutlery until Chasina got her food.
Chasina ate them without sharing it with anyone. She didn't even wait for Edward to feed her.
Tears streamed out from her eyes as she ate. No one knows if her tears are streaming out due to the spiciness or due to sadness.
Her nose is blocked with snot. She felt it embarrassing to clear her nose at the dining table. She tried to a deep breath but the moment she took a breath she felt her ears are about to burst out. She closed her ears for a few seconds before continuing to eat.
More tears continued to pour out from her eyes.
Her nose is more blocked. It became hard to breathe. She tried to take deep breaths again but couldn't. She sniffed back. But still, she couldn't breathe properly.
At that moment, a hand gave her a tissue. Chasina took that and sneezed loudly and cleared her nose. Another tissue reached in front of her. That hand gently wiped her tears and cleaned her face.
She raised her head only to see Edward's gentle actions.
"If you want to vent your emotions, come and vent on me. Don't torture yourself. It won't be good for your health," He said as he kneeled beside her seat and wiped her face with another new tissue.
She immediately kept her cutlery down and hugged his neck. She sobbed slowly and her sobbing slowly turned into loud cries scaring others. Her tears seeped into his shirt staining it. Some of her snot also sticker on it.
Edward felt his eyes moisten up for his sister. She is such a lovely person but now she is broken again. He wrapped his arms around her.
She sobbed for a long time. Adiana, Laura, and Alexander felt their heartache for her.
She is a sister-in-law, a sister from another mother, and a daughter for them. They tried their best to keep her happy. But all she got, in the end, is a misery, an endless misery.
"I will resign my job," Chasina said suddenly in between her sobs.
