Chapter 175 - FATHER

Marriage registration office.

When Martha and Chris arrived, Rocky, Janet, Kevin and Silvia were already present and were waiting for them.

Before getting down from the car, Chris grabbed Martha's hand and asked," Nervous?"

Martha nodded her head and said," A little."

Kissing the back of her hand, Chris said," Don't worry and if you are having second thoughts then we can-"

" Say that one more time and I'll really leave you and leave this country forever." Martha said.

Chris shook his head and said," No no, I won't."

" Let's go." Martha said before stepping out of the car.

" Ahh there they are." Rocky said.

" Congratulations." Silvia said before giving Martha a hug.

" Thank you so much for coming guys." Martha said.

" Where is Matt?" Chris asked.

" I am here." Matt said before rushing towards them. 

" Ahh I am sorry for coming late." Matt said.

Patting Matt's back, Chris said," Thanks for coming."

" It's your wedding dude, how could I not come?" Matt said.

" Matt." Kevin said before giving him a hug.

" Dude where is sister-in-law?" Matt asked.

Placing his hand on Silvia's back, Matt said," This is Silvia, my wife."

Matt smiled and said," Sister-in-law is really pretty, no wonder you are smitten by her."

Silvia smiled and said," It's nice meeting you."

" Pleasure is all mine." Matt said.

" Bro." Rocky said before grabbing Janet's hand.

" This is Janet, your future sister-in-law." Rocky said with a huge grin on his face.

Matt chuckled and said," So what I had heard was true. You finally managed to find yourself a beautiful woman."

" Yeah he is lucky." Janet said.

" You are right Janet." Matt said.

" All of you can introduce yourselves later. Let me get married first." Chris said.

Kevin chuckled and said," Alright, let's go."

….

After almost an hour, Chris and Martha completed all the procedures and were officially married.

After exchanging the rings when Martha and Chris came out of the office along with their friends, mother Jelvis and Sermon was standing outside with a few boxes in their hands.

" Mom." Martha murmured before looking at Chris.

Chris shrugged his shoulders and said," What? I did not call them." 

When Martha raised her eyebrows, Chris shook his head and said," Are you doubting me on our wedding day?"

" You are not going to greet your mother?" Mother Jelvis asked.

Martha rushed towards her and gave her mother a hug and asked," Does dad know your know here?" 

" Well, he knows." Mother Jelvis said.

" Congratulations Martha." Sermon said before giving her a hug.

" Thank you so much." Martha said.

" We have prepared many gifts for you. Sermon go help you brother-in-law place them inside his car." Mother Jelvis said.

Sermon nodded his head and started walking towards Chris.

" The gifts are inside our car." Sermon said.

While placing the gifts on the car, Chris said," All this is too much, you shouldn't have arranged so much." 

" She is the only daughter of the Jelvis family Walker, this is way too less than what she should be actually getting." Sermon said.

" Chris, come here." Martha said.

Hooking her arms around his, Martha said," Mom this is Chris, my husband."

Despite dating Martha for so many years, this was the first Chris was meeting her mother.

" No wonder my daughter is head over heels for you. You are indeed very good looking." Mother Jelvis said.

" Huh good looking? You call this face good looking?" Father Jelvis who had just arrived said.

Martha narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip around his arm.

" Oh look he is here. Ahh and here I thought that Mr Jelvis was an arrogant, stubborn and egoistic person who would miss his only daughters wedding for a mere misunderstanding between the two families." Mother Jelvis said.

Father Jelvis frowned and said," I am not here for the wedding I was just passing by and-"

Cutting him off, Mother Jelvis said," I hope you bought gifts for your son-in-law and daughter."

Father Jelvis frowned deeper as he started walking towards the newly wedded couple.

Taking out two boxes from his pocket, he shoved the bigger on into Martha's hand and the smaller one into Chris' hand and said," I am here because I don't want to give the stupid Walker's any chance to make fun of you saying that your father disowned you. But that doesn't mean that I'll accept this Walker as my son-in-law."

Lifting the box up, Chris grinned and said," Thanks for the wedding gift, FATHER."

Father Jelvis frowne and said," I am not your father. Don't call me that."

" Okay FATHER." Chris said.

Father Jelvis gritted his teeth and left.

Mother Jelvis playfully smacked Chris' hand and said," Oh you boy, you surely know how you play with him."

" Mom, Thankyou so much for coming." Martha said.

Mother Jelvis patted Martha's head and said," Come home for dinner tomorrow along with Chris okay? I'll prepare all your favourites." 

Martha smiled and nodded her head.

After Mother Jelvis and Sermon left, Martha hugged Chris and said," Thank you."

" Why are you thanking me?" Chris asked.

Martha smiled and said," I know you did all this for me."

Chris chuckled and said," Silly, I did not do anything. All this happened because they love you." 

Tip-toeing, Martha pressed her lips against his and said," Hubby."

" Woaaahhh guys, can't you both control yourself for sometime? You people should go home first." Matt said.

" Alright, we will take our leave. I'll meet you guys in the evening." Chris said before boarding the car along with Martha.

After they left, Matt said," Even I have to go and Ella."

" Ah, so you have a girlfriend too? Will you bring her tonight?" Janet asked.

Rocky was about to stop Janet when Matt said," I wish I could," before walking away.

After Matt left, Rocky sighed and said," Babe you shouldn't have said that."

" What? What did I say?" Janet asked.

" Yeah, even I don't think it was something inappropriate." Silvia said.

Placing his hand on Silvia's shoulder, Kevin said," Let's go home."

Silvia nodded her head and left along with Kevin.
