The surrounding had dimmed a little, and the spotlight was pointed a-top the staircase. And a feminine figure could be seen standing there, she's none other that the lil princess itself, Bella.
Her short, brown hair was piled high on her head and her widespread blue gown had a bow on the center of her back. She has a tiny tiara on her head as well.Her face was all natural. It seems to have added more enchanting aura on her, the slight makeup made her face glow up more. Her innocent beauty couldn't be described at this moment.
The venue had became quiet all of a sudden.The guests were stunned, astounded by her beautiful appearance. All of them couldn't actually get out of their amazement towards her. The young guys around were swooned by her. And the women were full of envy.
All in all, their jaws dropped. They didn't knew that she was too beautiful. Some people think that their child has been hidden for so long because she has a disability.
Joseph have seen all their expression and he would be lying if he said that he wasn't proud of his little daughter right now. She was the most precious thing that happened to them. She was all too sweet and loving and they could never asked for more daughter other than her.
Bella was all too nervous and shaky but her brother, who was hiding behind the big curtain earlier came forward to help her.He came out to escort her. He held her hand as they slowly descended down the red carpet stairs.Bella was still nervous so her legs became a bit shaky but Zachary could feel her and see the small problem. So he cushioned his arms casually on her and said,
"Dont worry lil sis. It would be alright. You just need to be calm and brave, yeah? Lift your head up sissy. Make mom and dad proud,make us proud. Okay?", he said it like an inspiration. But it seems to have console her though as she sighed and held her head high.Zachary just smiled as he looked at her and they continued walking down the stairs.
As everyone was giving awe to Bella as she comes down, they haven't notice the change of expression on Ryan's face. The usual cold facade had momentarily soften without him knowing for a second, but he changed it back after. He managed to maintain his composure in just a second.
As Bella arrived at the end with Zachary, she looked around and smiled to everyone. People had started to have a noise again but this time it was all praise towards her.
Zachary who was at her side whispered, " Continue smiling and greet them, okay princess?" Bella just nod at him.
As they continued walking they have met a lot of people greeting her happy birthday. And as for Bella, she just continue smiling and said thanks to them.
Their parents, Joseph and Isabelle went to the center. Joseph as the talker himself, raised his wine glass and made a bell sound using a spoon to gather all the guests attention and said, "Good evening everyone,welcome for coming here today. As you may all know I am Joseph Monroe,and on behalf of the debutant herself , I would like to thank everyone for gracing my daughter's 18th birthday celebration."
"And I know that all of you don't want to prolong this, so I would like to call on my lovely daughter to give her welcome remarks. Come' re darling." Joseph once again said but calling on to where Bella was.
When bella heard her name being called she was starting to get so tense again. And started to think hard.
What would she do? What will she say? She's too shy to say anything that are long. She almost want to cry and hide inside her room at this moment tho.
And Zachary, who was her only support, felt her sweating hands on his arms and he started to get worried for her as well.
