Sara sighed for the nth time and held her tears back. The door to the bridal room opened and her father stepped in with his expressions, grim.
Glancing at him from the mirror, Sara pretended to fix her dress. She didn't want to talk to him.
“ Are you still not going to talk to me directly? It's been years already, Dove ” His tired voice echoed in her ears, as he called her by her nickname, that her mother gave her.
Sara ignored his existence altogether and kept her eyes fixed on her dress. She just wanted him to leave already.
“ It's your wedding day. Please talk to me. ” Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and Sara felt like a volcano erupted in her mind.
Abruptly turning around, she pulled her wrist away and glared at him, furiously “ Don't even dare to come near me again, Mr. Lexington! And it's not a wedding. It's the funeral of my dreams and hopes. Now leave! ” Hissing at him, Sara raised her head stubbornly, before stepping back from him and pointing her finger towards the door.
The misery in his eyes cooled down the fire of hate in Sara's heart for a moment. Her father smiled sadly, nodding his head and turning around to leave from there.
“ You look beautiful, Dove. Your mother would have said this to you today. ” He stopped and voiced out.
“ DON'T TAKE HER NAME FROM YOUR MOUTH! ” Screaming out, Sara grabbed the perfume bottle from the dressing table and threw it down.
The rosy fragrance filled up the air as the bottle broke down. The glass shattering into pieces. Her father shook his head and walked out of there, knowing that she would get more angry, if he stayed any longer.
A tear fell from Sara's eyes, as he closed the door and she stumbled back. Placing her hand on the dressing table as a support, she looked up and fanned her face with her other hand.
********
As she walked down the aisle with her father, her heart drowned with each step she took towards the man standing at the end of the way.
She was sure, that she hated him with all her heart. Raising her head, she refused to let others know how miserable she was feeling right now. Having her father so close to her after years, was making her more upset. It was like she was forced to go through everything she hated, at the same day and time.
It was the test of her patience and she refused to fail. She would never give her so-called family, the satisfaction of seeing her broken.
