She was the Snow Queen

“Put the sets ready!
Check the flowers
Okey prepare the brides maid!
Escort the guess
Put the trails”, she instructed her staff.

“Now where’s the Bride? Any one seen the Bride? She should be ready any moment now! The ceremony will start in 15 minutes”, she asked.

Without a response from her busy staffs she decided to search for the bride herself. She checked every where the bride could have gone but she wasn’t there. She was nervous for this particular situation because everything was all ready. The only thing she needs to do was let her walk the aisle and then she got paid. Well somehow she walks the aisle or not they will surely pay her services. But she always loves happy ending even though her own story haven’t got that ending yet.

Then she heard a sob coming from the garden. She run to see who would be that someone hiding from the garden and sobbing. It was the bride indeed as she suspected. Her make-up were all set but gets a little ruin with the few tears that’s coming from her eyes.

“Why are you crying”, Ice asked.

“I don’t know why I’m crying maybe I just can’t believe that this is happening for real” the bride replied.

“Its just normal, Its just wedding jitters as they say”, she comforted.

Ice was a successful wedding planner. She had been in the business for just two years yet her clients where outstanding. She had seen so many brides already, they were all dressed in fancy gowns, bringing there most loved bouquet of flowers and walk down the aisle to meet there prince. Such lovely fairy tales she had witnessed but she could never picture her own wedding. She was astoundingly beautiful, curly length hair, fair skin and lovely eyes. She was a goddess in person or maybe a queen and she can lure any guy to fall down there knees and beg for her hands. But since the day she realized that loved could only bring chaos to her world she decided not to get any romantic affair from anyone, not until she is ready.

“Then when will you be ready?”, Lei asked.

“I don’t know… Its just that its not my priority as of now. See Lei I still need to pursue my career, I need to build my own house, tend my business and save more”, she reasoned.

“But you can always do both? Besides isn’t it nice to have someone who you can share you’re dreams, you’re success, or you’re life?” he insisted.

“No offense Lei but right now I don’t need a guy in my life”, she answered back.

“Okey what if I say I’m gay? Will you accept me in you’re life as a partner? Cheese gay is not a guy right?” he jokingly asked.

“Ha ha..” sarcastically she said.
“You a gay? Come on Lei who will believe you? You can’t fool anyone with that joke and my answer is still a No”, she stressed out.

“And why are still single right now?” she asked back.

“Its just that I’m waiting for somebody who just can‘t make any relationship a priority right now”, he answered.
“And who would that be? Ahem?”, she said with raised eye brows

“Okey Okey… I won’t argue anymore but I will always be here when ever you needed me. You know I can’t resist you”, he said.

“Okey then this conversation is over”, she ended.

Lei was her confidante since college years. He was never into her not until there fourth year. They have been together for several designing jobs and they even both indulge in a café work one summer. He had found her really beautiful and charming with an irresistible beauty. No wonder many boys have fallen for her but she was smart and witty, and she’s like the Snow Queen numb and cold. He never truly revealed his feelings for her because when he always try to do so she always sees it as a joke. She never seriously take what he says and sometimes put him down ahead before he could finished what he had to say. She was really a Snow Queen and Lei knows that. Ice had lure so many guys and intentionally or unintentionally she had left them stranded or heart broken. She often complains about the way these guys treated her but she never listens to a word to the complain about her treatment to them. But in spite all of that he always remain beside her seen or unseen because he knows one day her heart will be warmth again and will be open to loved him the way he loves her.

He never knew who she really loves for aside him she also had another confidante who is still waiting for her answers and there were many more. Lei thinks they were all like Kai trap in the Snow Queen’s palace and still looking at there selves in the mirror of reason.

One day Lei receives an email from a certain Mark,

Hi Lei!

Its me Mark, you might not know me so well but I’m one of Ice’s suitors. I just drop by to say Sorry for what I really did to her and I know your angry with me because of the note you have leave in my web page. Its just I really loved her so much but things just got complicated. I don’t know how to handle things anymore. She always gives me hope of being us together but I grew tired of waiting. Then I meet somebody and she had loved me so much that I felt guilty for I cannot loved her back. We were together but my heart still remains with Ice. I don’t know what to do when knew about her. She burst into anger and started to do craps on her. I know its my fault and I’m really sorry.

For now Ice and I were friends again, so I hope you will also forgive me. Somehow it just all happened because I loved her and until now I can’t resist her. I know you loved her too so I’m giving up on her for you. Hope you will take good care of her.

Regards,
Mark


P.S.

My girlfriend an I just broke up recently. I just can’t keep being unfair to her. She always know from the start that my heart belongs to Ice.

Lei don’t know what to do. “She had made it again! She has been using my email to make her schemes that’s why she asked for my password. How many more guys does she needs to lure?” he asked himself. He realized that all her victims were in misery, there hearts trapped and could not moved on to love someone else including his own. She doesn’t know about it and she doesn’t care.

Then Lei got an offer to work out of the country. He had seen this as an opportunity to escaped her charm and he wished it will worked. She knew about the offer and she was happy for him but inside she knew she will lost a good friend, a confidante that teaches her so will. Lei had been like a teacher to her, his tough words always make her strong. He her personal critic, her adviser, her mentor and lover. If she could open her heart one day maybe it will be for him but like the Snow Queen she was tough . She did not show up when he leave, she did not shed a tear. As if Lei’s absence were nothing much for her and she always thought he is not the only guy. She always have her beliefs that only the toughest deserves her loved and only the true one can share her eternity. She had this test to every suitors she had, that whosoever can spell eternity with there tears will be set free from her charm. Lei had done it once for her and she always think maybe its time to set him free.

“Now get up maam and will be all set”, as she helped the bride to stand.

“You’re the fairest woman in the land right now and don’t let that butterflies in your stomach ruin this moment”, she said.

“Yeah, maybe I’m just being a crybaby”, as she wiped out her tears.

“Charlie! Help us out here!” she call out for her colleague.
“Fixed her make-up and set her to the venue”, she instructed.

“Yes Ice!” as he moved her away from the garden.

Then Ice left alone tried to go near the fountain. She noticed a tear just felt down from her eyes and it drop down to the fountain basin. She look at the water as the ripples tried to settled slowly. She noticed the reflection an tried to read the image when the water sets. “Eternity” as she reads the word. It was a reflection from a billboard just near the place. Then she turn her head up and carefully flash her hair as it bounce back to her shoulders. She post a smile in her cheeks and think of Lei coming home soon bringing her wedding ring.
