The Dowager was already sitting on her seat at the wedding venue. She clutched her cane as she watched everyone else, especialy the guests that the two families invited filling the seats with the help of the usherers. She smiled happily when more than three guests came to her to congratulate her for this wedding.
She was so proud when they all praised Mika and Jason. She called her in-laws to sit beside her so they could hear the praises too.
The couple was supposed to sit on the other side but being her, she ordered them not to be too rigid. Why should they allow others to dictate them where they should sit when the event was theirs and they paid money for it?
They should sit side by side so they could experience the moment they would become one big family together.
Mr and Mrs Wu have no problem with that. They also felt like the Long's family snd theirs were one big happy family.
The other side of the seats were filled with other guests and their relatives.
She narrowed her eyes at a group of people. She recognized the reporters that her grandson has allowed to cover the wedding.
"It has finally begun. Don't get nervous," Jeremy told Jason who could not help from looking both nervous and excited. "Calm down."
Jason looked at the small microphone he was holding and took a deep breath to calm down. He glanced at the stage where a woman was sitting at the piano. The piano would accompany him singing when Mika walked to the aisle.
The woman did not look anywhere but at the music score. She was aware of Jeremy being in there and was afraid that she would get scold if she made a mistake. His fans were blinded with his sweet smile and handsomeness. They did not know the devil behind the smiling mask. Only those in the entertainment world knew how hard it was to please Jeremy, especially when he has made himself as a businessman.
The pressure was high for her and she gulped nervously as she studied the music score.
Please, God, don't let her do any mistakes today.
"You get my back?" Jason asked Jeremy.
"I have your back. Don't worry," Jeremy ȧssured.
He was amused seeing this man in front of him who could not stop fidgeting and worrying about the singing. Jason might or might not do a mistake during singing but even if it does happen, just go with the flow. If it happens, it happens. And if at one time Jason suddenly lose his courage and handed his microphone to him, Jeremy has no problem to continue singing on behalf of Jason. It was no big deal at all.
*~*~*~*
Mika took a deep breath to calm herself. She accepted the glass of drink from Ryn and suċkėd the drink through the straw. She handed the glass back to her best friend once she was done.
"How do I look?" She asked for the millionth times.
"You look beautiful," Ryn ȧssured by her for the millionth times. She never thought as the time getting closer and closer her best friend started to get so nervous.
Mr Long smiled seeing his only daughter behaving this way. He went forward and wrapped her arm around his. He patted her hand gently. "My daughter is ready to be a wife. I, as your father, is proud of you."
Mika looked at her father in touched. She did not know she needed to hear this to gain the confidence she needed. Her eyes went glassy.
"Once you've become his wife, you are no longer under my responsibility but his. Do not act willfully anymore. Think about him first before you do anything," Mr Long gave his last wisdom before his little princess becoming another man's wife. He sighed. "I still remember the first time you called me papa. You were so small and your lips, so small, but you just can't stop calling for me whenever you saw me. Even your mother didn't get as much call as me when you were young."
"Papa," Mika called him that as she held her tears desperately.
"Yes, just like that. Remember, we are always here for you so don't this this marriage will cut us apart. You are a Long and act as one. Smile, my little princess."
Mika smiled. She took the handkerchief from Ryn and dabbed her eyes and cheeks carefully as not to ruin the makeup. She took the mirror and quickly reapplied her lipsticks and powder her face. Then, once she was satisfied with her makeup, she handed back the item to Ryn to keep in a small bag. Then, she covered her face with the veil.
"It's time."
Mika held her father's arm as they walked to the aisle where Jason was waiting. Her eyes went wet again upon seeing her love standing at the aisle.
Wait... why was he holding....
Mika almost stumbled when she heard his voice. She blinked her eyes at him, and then at her father. Her father just smiled encouragingly and pulled her to continue the walk. Mika ignored the flashes from the cameras as her heart was pounding so hard.
Jason... her love... was singing to her. It was their favourite song. She wanted to cry in touched for the surprise he made but her father did not let her. He kept urging her to keep walking.
Ryn hid a smile. She knew the surprise so it did not make her stunned like Mika. She made sure to watch Mika so when she suddenly stopped, Ryn stopped as well. Her hands held the train carefully.
They finally reached the aisle as Jason ended the song. Everyone actually applauded as the lovers united. They too were surprised when the groon started to sing. They never thought that Jason has a nice voice.
Mr Long handed his only daughter's hand to Jason. He chuckled to see how eager Jason was to hold Mika's hand. "Take care of her like we take care of her, son."
"Of course. I promise. Don't worry," Jason promised quickly. Ignoring the guests and even Mr Long, Jason leaned down to kiss Mika's hand gently.
"Finally," he said.
"Finally," she seconded with a smile. Her heart was fluttering especialy when she remembered the song he just sang as she walked toward him. It was so special and she would never forget about this moment... ever.
Mr Long went to sit beside his wife and held her hand. He nodded at Mr Wu who was also holding his wife's hand. They watched as their child turned to face the priest and smiled warmly. It felt like just yesterday the couple announced that they had become boyfriend and girlfriend, and suddenly returned home to announce that they have been engaged. And now it was time for them to move into another step of their relationship; to become husband and wife.
Ryn stood near Mika. She watched with teary eyes as Mika and Jason exchanged loving vow when they were asked. She sniffed and used her finger to wipe it off. She smiled when she saw Jeremy looking at her. She saw him mouthing 'later our turn' with a wink. She almost giggled but she managed to control herself.
How could he even have the mood to joke around?
She shook the thought away and concentrated to the loving couple. She clapped her hands with the others when the priest pronounced them as husband and wife. As she was clapping, a kid came and gave her a microphone secretly.
Oh... it was time for the second surprise.
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
They all clapped their hands happily. There was a pop and confetti showered down the newlyweds. Mika giggled as she held out her hands to catch the confetti.
Ryn glanced at the stage and saw the kids were arranging themselves with their musical instruments. The female pianist was no longer at the piano. Jeremy would be the one playing piano.
She gulped.
Jeremy straightened himself and walked to the stage after the emcee invited him. With a flourish flip of his coat, he sat at the same chair the female pianist sat before. He reached the microphone and adjusted the length to his comfort.
The guests who just saw the children were whispering to each other. They were too focus during the wedding vow exchange that they did not notice when the kids came to the stage. And seeing how the kids were holding a musical instrument, they had the feeling that these kids would be performing along with Jeremy.
Jeremy leaned a bit to speak in the microphone.
"Today's performance is for our newlyweds, Mika and Jason. Please enjoy," he said.
Ryn took a deep breath and waited for the signal for her to begin.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
