I was on shopping for my wedding. I was going to marry Mike, we met on a cruise and our friendship soon turned in to love. And finally he proposed me on my sister's birthday.

I was with my friend Lucy and my childhood friend Andy. After searching almost seven shops I finally found the best .While I tried it on,I really wanted to burst into tears. Lucy was praising me so much about how the dress was of the perfect fitting and not too over.
But, Andy was quiet as he was sad .Lucy asked him about the dress but he just replied with a nod.

We bid good bye to Lucy at the Middle Park corner. After that we were walking in a park that seemed to be empty.

"Are you angry with me?"I asked .

"No!I don't have a reason to be!"He replied, smiling awkwardly.

"So why are you so quiet?"I asked .He paused ,his eyes down and his eyebrows pulled into a frown.

"I love you" He said ,almost in a whisper.I froze. My eyes wide ,my mouth open to say something but it didn't came out.

"I am sorry" He mumbled. "I love you since the day I saw you" He said looking the other way .

"I always tried to suppress my feelings but it only increases, I can't help it" He said .

"It's okay, but I only see you as a friend. A best friend" I replied

"Thank you. I just wanted to tell you about my feelings before your marriage" He said, smiling.

"Thank you for being honest. I really appreciate it" I said.

We parted at the town street .Honestly, I never expected him to have such feelings........for me?

My thoughts were running wildly as I walked slowly. On the way , I noticed a certain man in between the crowd. It was Mike.I cried his name but he didn't seemed to hear .I walked towards him but paused as I saw him hugging a blonde girl.I knew her..........

It was Lucy.
