As they had organised, By noon Alyssa drove to the bridal shop. She found when May had also just arrived.
" Good afternoon. " Alyssa greeted with a corner smile giving May a hand for a shake.
" Good afternoon Ms Alyssa. " May replied. Her mother was coming behind her , That's when Alyssa noticed her.
" Madam Cynthia , You also came. " She asked looking at Cynthia who looked elegant in a woolly jacket.
" Am I not welcome here ? " She asked.
" Of course not Ma'am. " Alyssa argued. " I am so happy to see you here. " She muttered.
" Where's my son in.law ? " Cynthia asked.
" He's not here yet. " Alyssa answered.
" Mom , Let us be patient. " May said smiling at her mother.
" This way.." Alyssa said and led them to the gown corner . She had discussed with the attendant and told where the best gowns were on display.
The two women followed Alyssa.
" So , These are the best gowns. " Alyssa declared.
" Wow ! " May exclaimed looking at the beautiful gowns.
" Mom , Which one should I chose ? " She asked Cynthia in excitement.
" Don't act silly , Can't you chose yourself the best. " Cynthia chuckled and walked to the gowns.
" Try this ! " She said pointing at the pink Cinderella gown.
" Okay Ma'am. " May said.
" Get it ready for her. " Alyssa told the attendant.
" okay Ma'am. " The attendant bowed and went to pick the gown.
" This way Ma'am. " She told May and led her to the dressing room.
Cynthia turned to look at Alyssa who had a soft smile on her face. " I can't believe that my daughter's dream is almost coming true. " She said eyeing Alyssa.
Alyssa just chuckled. " Was it really her dream to get married ? " She asked.
" Not just getting married. But making Calcel her husband. " Cynthia said.
" Congs to her . " Alyssa said.
" Aren't you happy for her ? " Cynthia asked eyes gawking.
" Of course I am. " Alyssa answered.
" Really ? "
Alyssa wondered why this woman was doubting her. " Of course Ma'am. " She simply answered.
" Fine..Can't wait to see her. " Cynthia said and heaved a breath .
As the two were like that Calcel came in.
" Greetings. " He said to both with a thin line on his lips.
" What took you wrong ? " Cynthia asked.
" I just had some work to finish. " He answered.
" Good enough you are here. May had already gone to try the dress , You should get something too. " Alyssa said.
" I don't have to change clothes. I am just here for the shoots. " Calcel sneered.
" But...." Cynthia was going to argue but she stopped when May came out clad in the pink gown.
" Wow ! " Cynthia exclaimed looking at her beautiful daughter.
May walked slowly and gently to them.
" Mom , How do I look ? " She asked.
" You look gorgeous my love. You are the most beautiful bride I've ever seen . " Cynthia spoke adoring her daughter.
Alyssa just put a smile. May turned to look at Calcel such that he would say something.
" You look great. " He said in his normal tone. He didn't look exited or happy at all.
" Thanks. " May said.
Soon the camera man was brought and the photos were taken.

" It was Wow. " Cynthia said as the got out of the shop.
Alyssa was all quite since.
" Dear , I am going to attend an important meeting. " Cynthia said to May and turned to look at Calcel. " Dear , Will you drop her home for me please. " She asked him.
" Of course Ma'am. " He replied.
" I should leave then. " Cynthia said and hugged May goodbye.
" I think I should also leave. " Alyssa and turned to leave when Calcel grabbed her hand .
May was seeing this and she felt anger burning inside her.
" Why don't we have lunch together ? " He asked.
" But..I...." Alyssa tried to talk but Calcel stopped her.
" Don't say no. I am dropping May home , Wait for me from here ? " He begged.
" I am also hungry. Why don't we have it together ? " May asked.
" I am sorry , I have important issues to discuss with her. " Calcel said refusing May's proposal.
May smirked but she didn't have what to add on. " Fine. Take me home first. " She said and faked a smile.
Alyssa sighed and wondered what she was going through.
