the bride

i just wanted to share this short and simple essay :)

     I am John, a professional photographer. I used to take wonderful pictures and everyone loved it. A few days before New Year Eve, I was going for a wedding reception in Putrajaya. I was hired to take some photographs for this wedding.

   There were a lot of people attended the wedding. Variety of scrumptious and delicious food were served. The place was perfectly beautiful. I took a lot of lovely photographs. I was deeply engaged with my task.Taking photographs.Suddenly, the bride and the bridegroom came and walked gracefully into the hall. I immediately moved my camera towards them. As i focused the lens, my heart pounding fast. Adrenaline rushed into my vein.

   The bride looked so familiar and yes, she was my ex-fiancee' ! I stood stiftly and i felt awkward but i just acted naturally. Beyond my expectation, tears running over my cheeks. I had a bad feeling that i can't be there anymore. I did not think that she realised that i was there.

   Suddenly, the bride signalled me to take her photographs with her friends and family. As i walked there,then our eyes were locked each other and she realised that i was there. Right in front of her. A bouquet of flower dropped from her hand on the floor. I knew it was the right time for me to leave. So, i just walked away from the hall. Eventhough, i heard her voice called out my name, i just ignored her and walked away.
