Confused by the sudden change Vince watched her go, "Why would she be crying if she wants to use the washroom?" Half an hour had already gone by, and she didn't return to the table.
Seeing Georgia walking with two plates of food for the both of us, holding her hand, "Bil, what is wrong?' Georgia becomes concerned.
"Georgia, your sister said she was going to the washroom, but that was half an hour ago, can you check on her please?"
"Don't worry, I will check on her right now, Bil."
Hurrying to the washroom Georgia stood in front of the ladies' room, knocking at the door and speaking in a soft tone, "Sid, what is wrong?"
Georgia hears the crying, "Sid, has Bil told you something hurtful, come on you can tell me, Sid, please talk to me."
Wiping her face wandering, 'What am I going to do now? This song is in my head and it will drive me crazy.'
Hearing George calling her, Sidney responds, "I am fine George, I just need to get a pad."
"You didn't put on any?"
"Yes, but that is soil."
"Okay don't worry, it's supposed to have a pack in the cupboard here.."
'How am I going to sit near him when this song keeps ringing in my head? Stuffing cotton into my ear before had stopped the bells from ringing, but what can I do to stop this ridiculous song in my head?'
Trying to think about other things but nothing was working, having no choice she keep humming the song.
Whispering, "All of me, loves all of you, God this is craziness, but what choice do I have now?" Washing her face, she applied a slight coat of makeup to return at the front,
Sidney slowly walks to the table and then took her seat. With her head bent, jumping when he rests his hand on hers.
Pulling her hand away from his, but his hold was firm, shifting the plate near her whispering. "Try and eat something, when you went to the washroom, they announce we will be leaving next forty-five minutes."
But the two times she put the food in her mouth she took a napkin and spit it out.
'Why is this happening to me? Is this some kind of sign? Does every bride go through this fiasco? Oh God, tell me what to do to stop this song in my head?'
Seeing Gilbert walking up towards us, Vince squeeze her hand, noticing when she looks up at him around her eyes were swollen and a bit reddish.
'Has she been crying all the time when she went to the washroom, but then she turns her hand allowing the palm of her hand to face his, letting her fingers fit in between his?
Looking down at her, this felt perfect the moment she locks her fingers between his, and this tingling in his hand began between his fingers, Vince wondering if she felt it also?
The smile was not real but she was smiling. "Vince, I thought you were my friend?"
"Gilbert, we are still friends nothing has changed, but I am sorry if you feel I have disappointed you, but hearing your plans, I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by without taking a shot at it."
"Opportunity, what opportunity you are talking about Vince?"
"There's no need to worry honey, I have this all figured out."
"You do, James what opportunity he is talking about, and what is wrong?"
"You lied to me, Sidney, how could you do that when you claim to be a Christian?"
"I am sorry about lying to you, I didn't mean to."
"Do you think this is a joke, I was willing to marry you, after everything that happened?"
"Everything, what are you talking about, everything? you had me waiting on you, and you didn't have to do anything, and you never had the decency to show up or to let me know you cancelled the wedding.
You did not send a message, not a phone call, nothing, and now you talking about everything. Boy, you have no shame. I made so many preparations and you trample on my love and the sacrifice my family made, as though it was dung.
So Wednesday, when Mr. Vinceson approaches me asking for my hand in marriage. I realized love is not important in marriage anymore, in fact, you thought me that much.
So I decided to accept his proposal, and since my engagement for today was cancelled, I thought why should I wait?"
When he rests his hand on the table saying to Vince, "You two-timer, you lure me into talking and then you cut my throat?"
"No my friend, I didn't do anything you wouldn't have done if you were in my position, Gilbert, I am sorry but I am also in a financial problem, so when you told me your ideas, I could not resist.
It was my one chance, of getting out: I am sure if you were in my situation, you would have jumped at a chance like this?"
When Gilbert grabs her hand looking at the ring, "You bastard, I can't believe you rush me and bought the ring?"
"But Gilbert, you did say you were a bit low in cash, so where would you have gotten any cash to buy this ring?"
Noticing the way he opens his eyes, Vince knew he was angry with him when he said "Yes, but I had gotten some money to get her a ring."
"Just wait one moment, what are you saying? James, didn't you even have enough money to buy me a ring?"
"On the contrary, yes, I had but what does that matter?"
"James, tell me the truth?"
"Why should I tell you anything Sidney Montrose, we are not getting married, so why should I discuss my business with you or anyone else?"
Vince see how red her face got and he knew she was angry with the both of us.'
