"The Grand Silver Hotel" - It was written with big letters and in a cursive way. The Hotel was huge and spouted the royal look outwardly.
The entire hotel was booked for Paul and Nina's wedding. Everyone were invited and assigned the respective rooms.
Paul's colleagues from CR company, Alfred, Mr. Lee, Sean and other friends were invited and were on Paul's side - (Groomsmen).
Nina's side included - Danica, Danica's parents, her event management team and other friends.
The wedding was going to take place at 10:00 am. The Hotel had a big green lush royal garden, where rows of seats were arranged on left and right sides for the guests. Between these rows of seats, a beautiful sparkly red carpet was laid that paved it's way to stage, where vows of marriage was going to be exchanged.
It was 8:30 am, everyone had more than enough time to get ready for the wedding.
Time was flying.
Danica and other friends of Nina had to get ready earlier, since they were going to help Nina to get ready as well.
Alfred wanted to meet Danica, he wanted to see her face and know, how she was going to look in her wedding attire. However, he knew that, he was going to see her during the wedding ceremony, but, he could not restrain himself at the moment, to see her.
He steps out of his room and moves upstairs, He didn't knew her room number. But, he knew that Nina's side members were at second and third floor.
He arrived at second floor and checks in every room, but, fails to find Danica.
Now, this was the last door of second floor that was left to check.
He knocks the door with high hopes.
Door opened and Alfred looks at it.
Danica's parents were standing in front of him.
Danica's mom smiled as she saw Alfred.
"What happened?" she asked
"Wait a minute... you are one of groomsmen, right? then what are you doing here?" Danica's father inquired.
Danica's mom looks at her husband with brooding eyes, giving a sign -- Shut up ! How can you speak so impolitely to him?
"I mean, what happened?" Danica's dad inquires in humble way.
"I was looking for Danica's room, but, I see she is not on the second floor" Alfred gave a brief smile and replied.
"Oh I see" Danica's mom said teasingly.
"Dan's room is on third floor" Said her mom
"Room no. 110" she adds
"Thank you so much" Alfred smiled and said
He hurriedly runs towards the stairs and ascends upwards.
Danica's parents stared at him as he left.
"Come on, let's get changed. It's 9:00 am already" said Danica's mom to her spouse.
They went inside and closed the door.
Meanwhile, Alfred arrives at third floor and looks for room no. 110
Now, he was standing in front of her room.
He rearranges his hair and makes sure that, he was looking good.
Room no. 110
[ Danica's room ]
Danica was standing in front of long glossy mirror and was trying hard to button up the back side of her white embroidered gown.
She had tied her long hairs into a low bun.
Suddenly she hears a knock on the door.
[ Who can be?] she thought.
She lifts her gown a bit and moves towards the door, and opens it.
There was no one.
All of sudden , Alfred shows up and enters the room, He closes the door behind him.
The entry of Alfred into her room was so sudden that she didn't even have time to kick him out of her room.
Alfred was looking at her now, he was struck by her enigma. The white embroidered gown was making her look more charismatic. Her red lips made him more drawn towards her, a small earring on her earlobe, showcased her beautiful long neck.
"What are you doing here ?" Danica asked
"...." (no reply)
"Alfred, I am asking you something" Danica said.
[ I guess, I need to slap him, so that he stops staring at me and answers my question] she thought.
She moves towards him briskly, but , by mistake she steps on her own gown and was about to fall.
However, Alfred grabs her, by her waist and stops her from falling.
By mistake, he too steps on her long gown and now, they both fell abruptly on the bed.
Alfred was on top of Danica. Her heavy breathes can be heard clearly.
Alfred smiles at her.
She was feeling so shy, that ,she wasn't able to smile properly.
"Beautiful" Alfred said hoarsely and strolled his finger smoothly, on outline of her face.
Danica smiled.
He opens her hair that were tied up and strolls his hand through her hairs.
"Now you look more beautiful" he said
"I need to go" Danica said and looks away
"I won't let you go like that" he replies
"What?" Danica now looks at him abruptly and says
Alfred smiles
"It's already 9 am, I have to go and get Nina ready" She said and tries to push him away, but fails.
"I will let you go, but, you have to kiss me first" He said
"No way" Danica replied.
"Okay then, Let's stay like this on bed for whole day and you know, I won't be able to stop myself, if i started ---" he says and smiles wittily
[Oh God ...This guy ! ] Danica thought
"Okay fine" she cuts him short and says unwillingly
Alfred brings his face close to her and now, distance was almost zero between them.
Before she could kiss him, there was a knock on the door.
Abrupt knock alarms both of them.
Someone was knocking the door every now and then.
"Danica , open the door" said a lady on the other side.
Danica pushes Alfred away and he falls on the bed. She bumps on top of him and says in low voice "This is because of you, I got late. Now, if you don't wanna die by my hands then, go and hide somewhere"
"As you say, my woman" Alfred replied and smiled
Danica winces and then says again in a low voice "I am not your woman, understood?"
"You will be, I will make you--" Alfred said
"Open the door, what are you doing?" said the lady on other side of the door.
Danica had no time to argue with Alfred.
"Go and hide somewhere now" she said and gets off him
He gets out of the bed.
"Wait..hide in the bathroom" Danica said abruptly
"What !!" Alfred replies
Danica lifts her gown and gets out of bed, She pushes him in the bathroom.
"Just do as I say" Danica said as she tried to push him inside.
She closes the door of bathroom and says "Don't make any noise, else we will get into bad rut"
She now rearranges her hair and opens the door of her room.
A lady wearing white bandaged dress greets her. She was one of the member of Nina's event management team.
"I had been standing here for fifteen minutes---" she says
Danica cuts her short and says " Sorry, I was in the bathroom "
"Let's go, we have to get Nina ready" she said
Danica nods and says "I will be there within five minutes"
Suddenly, a sound came from the bathroom, as if a object had fallen on the floor.
They both looked briskly at bathroom door that was shut and locked.
"What was that?" Lady mumbled
"Haha...I ..umm.." Danica was trying to frame the sentence
"Why that door is locked?" Lady asked
Danica grabs her shoulders and pushes her out of the room.
"I will be there in five minutes, go now" she says and shuts the door.
"uh..okay" Lady mumbled as door slammed on her face .
She left.
***
Danica sighs
she opens the bathroom door and Alfred steps out.
"Now, before someone else arrives here, leave immediately" she said
Alfred moves towards her and she moves back, as he approaches near.
She tries move more back, but strikes against the wall.
Now, again, distance between them was zero.
He tucks strands of her hair behind earlobe and says "Don't tie up your hair, I want to see you in open hairs"
"I will tie them" Danica said
"No, you won't" Alfred said and kissed on her forehead.
Alfred steps back and smiles.
He leaves her room.
"Huh...why I won't tie up?" Danica smirked and mumbled.
She hurriedly closes the door and now, it was time to get ready.
She combs her hair and ties them into a low bun, she lowers her hand to get some hair pins.
However, she finds those hair pins missing.
"What the heck !! where are those hair pins?" she mumbled.
[ That guy...Aishh. How can he take them like that? ] She thought
Now she had no choice, but to get ready as Alfred had told.
*****
Clock showed 9:30 am
Nina was sitting in front of mirror, wearing white bridal gown. She was waiting for Danica to arrive.
"Where is she?" Nina asked.
"I called her, she told me that she will arrive within five minutes" said the lady.
The door opens and Danica arrives.
Nina stands up and looks at her. She was looking elegant.
"You look great" Nina said and smiled
Before Danica could reply, Nina said "Where were you? see, now we are running out of time"
"I am so sorry" Danica said and then made her sit on chair.
"Let's get you ready, without wasting a minute" Danica adds
Now, other girls and Danica, gets her ready.

Paul was rearranging his bow tie and looking at himself in the mirror. He was looking handsome in black tuxedo.
Mr. Lee and Alfred were wearing black tuxedos as well.
"I knew, this day would come" Mr. Lee said and wiped his tears.
"Why are you crying, man?" Paul asked.
"Because you are getting married" Mr. Lee replied
"Why are you feeling sad about it?" Paul asked
"You jerk ! these are tears of happiness" Mr. Lee said
Alfred smiled.
Paul gives a hug to Mr. Lee.
Alfred looks at his watch and says "Let's go now. Only five minutes are left"
