chapter 25
Sunbeam : The Beam of Love
Ashton's POV She went outside angrily. I took a long sigh and watched her walking angrily. Really? Will you reject me? I will make you mine, as soon as possible. If you are really willing to reject me, you would have already done it. You are taking time, it means you are still confused or you don't find any reason to reject me. It's okay Aisha. I will never give you any reason. I locked the car and went to the groom's room. Desmond was wearing a black tuxedo, looking at himself in the mirror. He was looking too perfect. I went near him. "So are you ready?" I asked him."I don't know what's happening to me. I'm feeling shy today." He chuckled saying this. I laughed as well. He continued, "I'm craving to see Ester. How beautiful would she be looking on the wedding gown? I'm excited and awkward at the same time." I chuckled listening him. "Will you take me to Ester?" He asked suddenly. "Umm.. Not really. You aren't allowed. Any ways, I want to tell you something.""What?" He asked keeping his hands in his pockets."I confessed to Aisha. But..."He interrupted, "But what? Did she say yes?""No. She asked for time." I took a breathe."Ohh." He said. "Ofcourse she needs time. It's surprising for her that the CEO of the company loves her." He chuckled.I sighed. "She said that others would assume her a gold digger." I said sadly."It's okay Ashton. By the way it's my wedding today. I will try if we can throw out bouquet in your hands." He chuckled while consoling me."Let it be. Please take me to Ester. I can't wait. Please." He made his puppy eyes. I can't avoid him anymore." Okay let's go." I went outside carefully. And walked to Ester's room. He followed me. I knocked on the door. The voice came, "Who is there?" "It's me Ashton. Ester I've some work. Please open it." I replied. The door opened with a jerk. As I pulled Desmond inside so that they don't close it. I got thrown on a girl so that her face fell on my chest. I immediately made her stand. It was Aisha, standing just infront of me. As Desmond was beside me but staring at mirror. Ester wasn't in the room. I really didn't focused on it. I just saw Aisha before sometime. But now she's appearing different. Something has changed. But what? Her dress is same. Her necklace earrings even scandals are same. What's different? She was still gazing me angrily. I looked at her eyes."What happened?" She said with a smirk."Nothing.. just.. just.. I mean something.. something is different... Did you changed something?" I said while observing her. Then I saw her lips. The colour was changed. "Did you changed your lipstick?" I asked her.She took a sigh. And moved away from me. "Ester won't come before you guys. Just go out from here."Desmond replied, "Please I will see her just once. And then I will not come here. Please." He made his puppy eyes. Sorry Desmond she won't fell in your trap now. She ignored both of us. And saw herself in the mirror. I took Desmond's hand and pulled him out. We saw Mom coming there. "What are you doing here?" She asked surprisingly. "I wanted to see Ester but we are thrown out." Desmond replied. I chuckled."Wow. You deserved it. Who else is inside?" She asked again."Aa..." Desmond interrupted, "Your youngest Daughter in law." Both of them chuckled. I became awkward. And walked out from them. I came in the lawn and looked at the arrangements of cake and other things. The cake had 5 floors with the couple in the top one. The close family were already present. I saw my father asking about everything to waiters. I smiled to myself, but I didn't dare to go infront of him. Because Sunbeam Fashions still isn't a international brand. I promise I will do it. I turned at the other side. I saw two kids playing with each other. One was Hope "Hazel's daughter" and other seems like "Evan". I heard a foot steps from my back. I turned around. It was "Matthew Wainwright" my eldest brother. He smirked seeing me. I smiled at him politely. "Long time no see." He said. Obviously he won't be polite with me. But I smiled at him instead. "By the way, are you married yet? Or atleast in a relationship? Ahh.. Whatever! We don't expect anything from you." He said with his sharp gaze. "Brother! It's so nice to meet you. And about relationship, we don't need to mention it." I replied while trying to control my anger. He continued his rude tone, "When are you coming back? Or you don't really care? You shouldn't think too much. Your current situation can tell you are made to remain just in LA. We will forgive you if you come back. Or keep trying your whole life." He winked at me. I took a long breathe. And answered him, "Big brother! Let's act as good brother's so that you maintain your dignity."He laughed out and said, "You are not my brother. The day you left us you lost us. And I will never forget it Ashton." His eyes focused in mine. I gulped in. Suddenly, little hands grabbed my pants. I turned to see down. It was Evan. He was two when I left the house. Now he would be six years old. I smiled at him and sat to his height. Matthew shouted at him, "Go away Evan." He turned his face towards him, "Why Daddy? Are you too playing?"I got up and took a step back from him. Matthew continued, "Just go and play with Hope. She is waiting." He said while pulling him and pointing his fingers to Hope. When Evan ran away, I gazed at Matthew. When I turned my face towards him I sensed someone beside me in light pink dress. I immediately looked at her. It was Aisha. She smiled seeing me. She took a step closer and grabbed my hand. I felt a sudden surprise as my heart enlightened. "Hey Honey. Won't you introduce to your brother?" She said. My lips curved in a smile with a surprise look on my face. Is she ready? I'm so happy. My brain lost all the senses until she spoke up again, "Okay. I will introduce myself today." She raised her hand for handshake. "Hello brother... Oh sorry.. future brother in law! Myself Aisha Simpson, Ashton's girlfriend."___________________________________________â¥ï¸
