Stains In Love
Pre-wedding

“Why are you looking at me like that?” ask Stella to Davin.

Since her arrival at the office fifteen minutes ago, Stella has realized that Davin has not stopped looking at her. Stella had already tried to ignore that and did the work regardless of Davin's gaze. He even thought that Davin's gaze was only part of his delusion. But, the longer Stella can feel if Davin's gaze gets more intense. Honestly, Stella felt uncomfortable being stared at by that seintens.

Davin shakes. “Red lipstick suits you,” Davin comments while pulling the corners of her lips up, forming a slanted smile.

Hearing that, Stella hurriedly took the small glass from her bag. Her eyes were round when she realized she was wearing lipstick wrong. Stella is guilty of her stupidity. ‘What if Davin thinks that I'm trying to tease him with the lipstick I'm wearing?’ stella's grouse in the heart.

Soon Stella takes the tissue on the table. She rubbed the tissue on her lips, trying to remove the red lipstick from her lips.

“Sorry, Sir. I shouldn't wear lipstick of this color,” Stella said. The woman stood up. “I'm sorry to go to the toilet first.”

As Stella was about to get out of their study, a call from Davin stopped her steps. He flipped his body, then asked Davin what was going on.

“You look beautiful with that lipstick,” praise Davin while blinking one eye.

Stella's cheeks warmed when she heard Davin's praise. His cheeks glazed as red as rose petals. If only the one who praised her was not the most upsetting person for Stella, perhaps Stella would be happy to hear it. But, considering how her flirtatious boss has always been trying to get close to her lately has fed Stella up.

Stella rolled her eyeballs. Without replying to Davin's words, Stella continued her steps out of the study. He should go to the toilet and replace his lipstick with a more natural color.

In the middle of her busy day with her flirtatious boss, Stella must keep her plan. Today, Stella's permission to go home early. He would do wedding dress fittings with Garry at a reputable boutique. Afterwards, they will do pre-wedding photos in a photo studio.

“Stella, are you sure you don't want to involve our parents in preparation for this wedding?” ask Garry.

Right now, the man was waiting for Stella who was trying on some wedding dresses. His parents keep asking if Garry and Stella sure don't want to be helped by Garry's parents to prepare for their marriage.

Stella shakes. “Don't we already discuss it a few days ago, Gar?” reply Stella.

“I know. Only, is the perspective of the parents not needed? I'm just worried if our extended family is disappointed that it's forbidden to get involved.”

Stella smiled at Garry.

“Gar, this is our wedding. I was afraid that each of our families would have a different opinion and would hinder our marriage preparations. Most importantly, they are still supporting both of us and are willing to pray for this wedding preparation. That's all we need, Gar,” explains Stella, giving understanding to Garry.

Garry approached Stella. “My parents don't mind if we want to do everything ourselves. But, I think they're afraid we're under a lot of pressure because preparing for marriage isn't trivial, ” Garry replied.

Stella chuckles. “I understand, Gar. But, they do not need to worry because we can certainly do it independently,” Stella said.

Garry nodded to hear it.

Stella easily convinces Garry if she wants to make her own wedding preparations. Garry's parents don't mind either because they believe Stella is a smart woman who can do everything herself.

Garry stared at Stella from head to toe. The man was moved when he saw Stella in a wedding dress. He still could not believe that a moment like this would arrive as well where he would marry Stella.

“Any dress will always fit you wear, Stella,” reply Garry. “As long as you're comfortable wearing it, I don't mind.”

Stella smiles. “Then, I will choose this dress only,” she said.

After choosing a dress, Garry and Stella go to a photo studio to do pre-wedding photos. Both of them look charming by wearing a suit and also a matching colored dress. They were asked to do so many poses with several different suits.

Stella smiles at the camera, realizing that her plan is imminent and she will be free from any grudges she feels at the moment.

“Stella, do we need to go to invitation printing after this?” ask Garry.

Stella yawns. “I'm tired, Gar. It's nine o'clock now. Tomorrow, I will order it to one of my friends who works in printing,” Stella said.

“Alright then. Come on, let's go home. Do not let you get sick from fatigue,” suggested Garry while holding Stella's hand out of the photo studio.

On the other hand, Feby, who knows that Garry and Stella's marriage has the support of all parties, feels jealous. His heart breaks to pieces when he realizes that in a moment, Garry will be his best friend's legal husband. The feeling he had nurtured for Garry all this time seemed to be in vain. The sacrifice he had made for Garry was meaningless.

Every night, Feby spends time drunk. It was heard in Stella's ears. Initially, Stella wanted to be indifferent. But, he can't bear. He approaches Feby at a nightclub and finds his best friend drunk in one of the VIP rooms.

“Stella, what are you doing here?” feby asked with a glare. To raise his head he was not able to so much alcohol that he had consumed. “Go and prepare your wedding. Don't mind me.”

“Feb, what are you talking about, anyway? If you have a problem, you can tell me. Don't even get drunk is not clear like this,” said Stella.

Stella took the place to sit next to Feby. Stella comes and tries to cheer Feby up. He gently tried to calm down Feby who was falling even though he still pretended not to know about the reason Feby slumped.

“Feb, relax.” Stella pulls Feby into her arms. “Whatever your problem is now, I'm sure you can get through it. You are a strong woman, I believe in you.”

Feby's crying broke. Guilt appeared in his heart. Feby realizes that Stella is a good friend. But, it is undeniable that he also cannot forget Garry. She loves Garry too much to forget to take care of Stella's heart.

Feby's getting worse. He felt that he was the worst person in the world because he could not choose between Garry or Stella.

Hugging Feby, Stella in her heart regretted the attitude of her best friend. ‘If you'd been honest if you loved Garry from the start, I might have given up. Now, you just destroyed everything by betraying me,’ Stella said in her heart.

Patience guys, soon the rottenness of Garry n Feby is exposed. 😌😌
