She turned back
from the mirror to look at her father who was stealing her glance in the mirror
right from door.
As she moved
forward in her floral wedding gown his heart skipped a beat and tear encircled his eyes.
“So, how I am looking?”
she said with her innocent childish smile on face.
He took her face
in his hands and kissed her forehead.
”Just like my
princess...”, whirlpool of emotions encircled his heart, flashing every single
moment of her childhood in front of his eyes.
Holding her hand he took her on aisle to escort her to James. His heart felt
pangs of separation at every step. When they reached, his body stiffed. All
dressed elegantly in white and with all respect James greeting him and took out
his hand to hold Alice hand for lifetime. His hand turned cold and his face pale .He kept staring at James hands,
making his grip stronger at Alice hand.
It took a minutes for James to read his sad eyes. Looking once to Alice and then to her father, with
polite assuring smile he said,” Dad, don’t worry I will love her
just like your princess”.
Tear from the
corner of his eye rolled down. His heart soothed at touch of James
assuring eyes, with sad smile on his face he took Alice hand and put into
James hand. Holding both hands in his hands he looked into James eyes,” I know
James, you will love my princess more than I do”.
" Not more than you Daddy,not more than you...", Alice yelled in cracking voice with
teary eyes.She hugged him tightly and they sobbed into each other arms till their love melted their tears.
