Soon Mimi and Josh's wedding day was fixed. They were very busy in preparation. But Josh was not changed or showed his proper love to her even where it was needed. Soon they two went to buy Mimi's wedding gown. Josh himself was choosing her dress and Mimi smiled. She told him that it was bad luck for him to see her in the dress before the wedding. He asked her what if he didn't love her choice. He also asked who believed in those silly superstitions nowadays. Mimi didn't want the conversation to be continued so asked him about the dress she already had worn. She told him that it was nice and asked for his consent. Bt he replied that not really liked it. He suggested that the previous one was better and it was cheaper too. He laughed at Mimi in front of the designer of the shop. So, she showed her view. She said that the previous one had a really tight corset.
This time Josh turned to her and said that the present dress was alright. And the only problem was Mimi. She could not understand what he meant. So, she asked him. She thought he was making fun. But when she saw he was serious, she felt sad. He said that she had gained some weight lately. He also said that he just wanted to look her good at the wedding otherwise, everyone will think that he was with her out of pity. Mimi asked him what he was talking about. He replied that he was just telling it straight. Then he asked the young designer if he was right. The designer told Mimi that the present dress suited her very well. As he was not telling what Josh telling, he started rebuking him. He said that the designer would say anything just to sell it. The designer wanted to say something but Josh stopped him and asked his staff to pack the dress fast.
Josh paid for the gown and told Mimi that he was waiting outside for her. She took the dress and was about to leave. The designer then gave her a card and said that he could always change her mind. She saw something in his eyes, but he replied something else when she asked him what he meant. He said that he meant about the dress. She could change it if wanted. She thanked him and left.
It was her wedding morning. She just finished her makeup and wore the white gown. Her mom was there and whenever she looked at Mimi, she was smiling. That time Josh entered there and asked if she was ready. He told that they would be starting in 5 minutes. He told Mimi to go alone for the last time in her life. Everyone said goodbye to her. Josh was also leaving. That time she asked him to wait. Josh was in hurry so asked if it was something urgent. He reminded her that they didn't have any time. So, she said that it was urgent. He returned and asked her what the emergency was. She told him that they were going to have a baby. He suggested to her that they should discuss it later. He was about to leave but she again stopped him saying that he didn't understand what she said. He raised his voice and asked what. Then she said that she was pregnant.
Josh could not believe it. And when he could get it, he was changed in the same way Mimi thought. His feelings got soured. He exclaimed with hatred that it was a wonderful wedding present. She asked him if he was happy. He replied that he was delighted and then instead of a honeymoon, they would spend money to get rid of the baby. She asked him if that was supposed to be a joke. He got angry and said that jokes are aside and he didn't have time for a child. Mimi wanted to say something but he said that the matter is closed and she was up in three minutes. He left and threatened her not to keep the guests waiting.
Mimi only had three minutes to decide what her life was going to be like. She asked herself if she would spend it the way people expected her to or the way she chose for herself, the way she wanted...But she again asked herself what she wanted. She thought that we all seek happiness but where to find it. And then she got her solution. She threw away the flower bouquet and started running out. She traveled by bus and train and reached her destination. It was the shop from where she bought her wedding gown, more specifically it belongs to the designer. She got the designer and asked him he could remember her. He replied that of course, he could. She smiled and said to him that she had changed her mind. He replied that he was glad and welcomed her.
Actually, happiness could be waiting for you around the corner. Just don't miss it.
I guess that pregnancy was not planned. The guy must have reasons for saying what he said but maybe he didn't mean it. They did not talk about it. Sometimes not all reacts the same way and our expectations fail us more.
