All the guests laughed when Jason was begging Ryn. It was funny to see how Jason was showing his insecurity side in public when everyone who knew him knew he could be serious. But they all also knew how he spoiled Mika, his now-wife.
Jason continued his speech by confessing his love toward Mika while Mika was blushing madly. When he was done, she actually stood up and rewarded him with a kiss on his cheek.
"I promise to love you and only you until the end of my life," she repeated the vow he said earlier in front of the church.
Everyone clapped their hands at the couple.
Jason helped Mika when she sat back on the chair and even stroked her back as she tried but failed to hide her blushing face against his arm. He chuckled.
"I love you," he said right before the emcee continued to announce the next speaker.
"I love you too," she seconded.
Both smiled and leaned to kiss their lips gently.
The emcee teased the couple for the PDA before he invited the best man to speak. Everyone applauded as they looked at Jeremy expectedly. Contrary to what they always believed of this family, the members seemed to be so normal and sporting until they had to remind themselves how 'evil' and 'cold-blooded' these men in business, especially Jeremy.
Jeremy stood up and held the microphone. He looked at all the guests before at the couple who was beginning to forget where they were and kept exchanging kisses. Jeremy cleared his throat.
The couple exchanged loving words and kissed again.
Stifled giggles could be heard coming from the guests when they saw what was happening at the main table.
Ryn lifted her head and stared at the ceiling, pretending she did not know the woman beside her. Even Mr Long tried to interrupt the loving moment but the couple was too engrossed in their own world to realize everyone was trying to stop them.
"Before I begin my speech," Jeremy said and put down the microphone. Then, he went to tap Jeremy's shoulder hardly until the latter kind of jumped in surprise. Jason looked at Jeremy in annoyance for disturbing his romantic moment with his wife but his best friend pointed to the front.
Jason turned her head and realized what he had just done. He scratched his head sheepishly before helping Mika who also noticed the amused look from everyone by hugging her tight.
"Alright, as everyone knows, I am the shameless bride's big brother and that equally shameless man's best friend, Jeremy Long," Jeremy introduced himself while rolling his eyes.
Everyone laughed at the tease especially when Mika cried and glared at her big brother.
How could his big brother tease her in front of everyone? Such a bully.
Jason coaxed her gently before pretending to hit Jeremy's arm. Just like a child, Mika was appeased with the punishment. She smiled sweetly at Jason.
"I have no idea what you saw in her. Childish, bad-tempered, impulse and the list goes on and on," Jeremy said without thinking before groaning when Mika, managed to avoid her husband's attempt to stop her, hit Jeremy hardly.
"Childish," Jeremy said as he rubbed his arm.
Everyone laughed. They witnessed how close the siblings were. Usually, siblings in a rich family pretend to be close in public but behind the scene, backstabbing each other to inherit more money and wealth. But the way the Long siblings were behaving did not show any acting or pretence. They just spoke whatever they had in mind for each other. Or maybe the champagne helps to loosen their tongue especially because of today's happy event. It made them just show who they truly were behind the scenes and the guests liked seeing how close the siblings were.
"J," Ryn hissed. She wished she could also say that she did not recognize the man who seemed could not stop teasing his little sister. Where was the mȧturė and charismatic Jeremy has gone to?
Jeremy heard the admonishment and cleared his throat. He realized that he should stop the tease and do his job of giving a speech as the best man.
"Jason and I have known each other since our school year. I considered myself as the matchmaker between these two silly people. Of course, at that time, I did not know I was one."
Ryn blew out a relieved sigh when Jeremy no longer teased Mika. She reached for her glass of champagne and sipped it slowly as she listened. Both Mika and Jason met without her presence. She went home early that day but the day after, Mika told her all about her meeting with the handsome boy in the basketball team. She wanted to know too how Jason and Mika met so she put her attention to listen.
"At that time Jason and I were preparing for a match. Was it against the KGV?" Jeremy asked Jason.
"I think so," Jason nodded. He did not remember that much particular. All he could remember was when he first saw her, his heart already screamed that the girl belonged to him and he must do everything before someone else gets her.
"Ah... I remember at that time when Mika entered the court, Jason was quiet. So quiet I thought he passed out from the practising. However, when I turned to look at him, he was staring at my little sister. And naive me thought he was just surprised to see someone so short to be my little sister," Jeremy rolled his eyes, his lips curled into a grin as he teased his little brother again.
"Jeremy!" Mika, Ryn and even Mrs Long gasped at Jeremy for that tease. Hasn't he had enough?
Jeremy chuckled. He looked at Jason who was shaking his head in both horror and bemused and winked. "As everyone has seen today, four of us are so close we just joke around like this."
Ryn rolled her eyes. Since when did she be close to Jason to share jokes like this? She was only close to Mika and Jeremy. When they were in school, although sometimes she joined the couple and Jeremy, she was busy trying to eat meat secretly behind her parents' knowledge as well as for deciding whether to accept the offer to become a model. And once she signed the contract, she had to juggle between her study and her modelling work.
She was too busy to even create a friendship with Jason. Hence the awkwardness between them even though they have known each other for years.
Jeremy continued by telling how Jason and Mika started their relationship vividly despite the wail and gasp of horror from Mika and Ryn. He was having so much fun until his father, being nudged and glared at by his lovely wife, put a stop to it. Jeremy shrugged and went to say something else.
"They have been together for years and tried but failed to get engaged every year," Jeremy rolled his eyes at Jason. He did not know about that particular if his father did not tell them just now. He simply added the tidbit for his speech. In fact, he did not even prepare a text for the speech, already planned on what to say today. "And finally today they managed to get married. I guess being patience really paid."
"Jeremy!" Mrs Long shook her head at her son's childish behaviour. Was he drunk? Why was he behaving like this? Keep teasing the couple like this?
"As Jason is my best friend, I know him as I know myself. We are best friends and almost like brothers. But today, Jason, my man, you are officially my brother... in-law. Take care of my baby sister like you have been caring for her all these years. She is yours now and I know you will give your everything for her. I wish you two the best of everything. Love each other and live happily." Jeremy reached for the glass of champagne that the server just refilled and looked at the couple, "For Mika and Jason, may your marriage be full of happiness until the end of time."
Everyone sipped their champagne and clapped their hands. They really enjoyed Jeremy's full of humour speech. It reminded them of his character as the singer. A friendly and charismatic singer and could joke around even during interviews with the media.
The emcee then announced that it was time for the father-daughter dance. Mr Long took a deep breath to calm himself. Then, he stood up and offered his hand to his daughter.
The musician quickly played soft music while waiting for the father and daughter to come to the centre of the dance floor.
Mika smiled widely as she glanced at the stage before she looked at her father.
"This won't be the last time we dance together," her father said lovingly.
"Hmm... but today is the first day I'm dancing with you, daddy, as a wife," Mika replied as she let her father lead the dance.
Ryn smiled as she watched her best friend dancing with her father. It was not a surprise anymore when Jeremy was the one singing for the father-daughter dance. She also swayed a bit as she watched Jeremy singing the song while he watched his father and little sister dancing in the middle of the dancing floor. Everyone else was watching as well and some women could not stop tearing up as they listened to the song.
Once the song ended, Ryn adjusted her dress and made her way to the stage. This was the second song that Jeremy asked her to practice quickly. The song for Mika and Jason's first dance as a husband and wife.. They waited for Mr Long to hand Mika's hand to Jason before Jeremy signalled the musician to start.
