Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 2 - Engagement Party

WELCOME TO THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY OF MY BELOVED DAUGHTER, EMILY GREEN…..

She slowly walked towards the open garden beside the Mansion where it is fully decorated with lights and white flowers. 

" Hi Katie… you are looking so hot" one of her colleagues, David greeted her and complimented her.

" Thanks  .." She plastered a small smile as she always feels frustrated with the flirty behavior of his colleague, David. Then she walked inside as she found the other female colleagues. When they are talking and enjoying the drinks, everyone is alerted by hearing the announcement of Mr. Green. 

Everyone is curious to see the person who is going to become the son-in-law of Green's family. Even Kathie was looking for the man whom her boss is going to marry. Mr. Green gave a small speech on the occasion and invited his beloved daughter, Miss.  Emily Green. Miss Emily looked stunning in her red color. Then Mr.Green announced the name of the soon-to-be son-in-law, Mr. Adrian in Wilson. 

He walked stylishly towards them along with his mother, Mrs. Maria Wilson, and stood beside Mr. Green and Miss. Emily with a radiant smile. As soon as Katie saw the face of Adrian, the wine glass slipped from her hand. 

 Instantly she walked towards a sedated place where there was no bright light. She felt overjoyed to see him again in her life. Her eyes filled with water with so many emotions. She was happy to see them together and felt  Emily is the perfect life partner to Adrian. 

After a few minutes, they both exchanged rings. Everyone was greeted with loud sounds of applause. A few seconds later, she also joined them with tear-filled eyes. She doesn't know what to feel at that moment. Later they cut the cake and feed each other expressing their love. She looked at both of them without blinking her eyes. They were talking with the guests with wide smiles on their faces. She felt content on seeing the smile on Adrian man's face. She lost herself in staring at him

" Katie….." 

Her chains of thoughts were interrupted as one of her colleagues called her. 

" Shall we go to present the gift to Miss. Green and her fiance? " Her colleague asked Katie.

" I am not feeling well. Please go with the other colleagues and present the gift" she informed as she wants to escape to face him.

Kathie knew what would happen if she met Adrian and how he would react to her. So she just wants to hide from him. 

" Okay then have a seat…" saying her colleague left her alone.

She was seated near the table and was observing her colleagues presenting the couple and Miss Green was introducing the staff to Adrian.

" Thank god!! I am saved"  she thought.

" Will you join me for dinner with me?" David asked her.

" Sure .." she said as she wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.

…..

….

" Congrats …" All the female staff wished the couple.

" Where is Katherine? Didn't she come?"  Emily asked the staff.

" Hmmm….she came but not feeling well. So she was sitting with the other staff" they replied.

" Okay…" Emily said.

On the other side, Ardian was talking with his mother. As soon as Ardian heard the name of Katherine, his facial expression changed into a serious one. His mother patted Ardian's back as she understood how her son would react whenever he heard the name of Katherine. 

" Ardian.. … I think it's better if you receive the guests…" his mother tried to change his mind.

He nodded his head and said " Yes...mom. You are right. "

Ardian excused himself and went to meet the other guests. Before meeting the guests, he went to the restroom to calm himself. The name of Katherine makes him frustrated. He doesn't want to think about her in his life but he was helpless because still, his heart wants to clarify any doubts.  He filled water in his two palms and threw them on his face. He wiped his face with the handkerchief and walked out when he calmed down. He joined Mr. Green and the other guests. 

After a while, there was an announcement from the host to join the couple dance. A few couples started dancing and enjoying the night with their loved ones. 

Katie finished her dinner and wanted to leave the place before Ardian found her. But her colleague, David, started to force her to join in for dancing. She denied his request.

" Katie...please. Give me a chance. You are looking so hot. I want to dance with you. " David asked her as he lost his sense as he over drank the wine.

He tried to drag her forcefully for dancing but she pulled him. She hurriedly walked towards the main gate to leave the place.

" Hi, Katie….how is your health? " Emily stopped coming from nowhere.

" Fine…. " Katie replied.

" Why are you leaving soon? Is it because you are not feeling well?" She questioned Katie.

" I am fine. But …" she stammered.

" For your son? " she questioned her.

" Yeah.." she nodded her head and took two steps back.

Her back collided with the hard wall.

" Where is the wall me from...suddenly?" she thought and turned her head.

 Accidentally, her foot lost its balance and was supposed to touch the ground. She closed her eyes tight but a pair of hands saved her from falling. She sensed someone helped her not from falling.

" Thank you…." Kathie said and opened her eyes.

She was surprised to see Adrian holding her with his hands and her eyes widened with shock.
