The cab pulled off in front of the event hall and Myra came down wearing a lilac halter neck dress which reaches to her knee and clutching her purse hanging carefully on her shoulders.

Just as her eyes dart around for the sight of her friend, a gentle tap jolt her to turn back and see Maeve smiling broadly.

She was pulled into a hug before she could initiate and give a warm smile really happy to see a long time friend.

“You look good but thinner, Is your husband not treating you well?” Maeve ask with a frown.

“Can we not talk about that and have fun tonight?” Myra said dismissively and cross her arms dragging her inside.

They walk into the hall and are greeted with the wedding pictures of the couples, Myra stare with admiration at the beautiful pictures filled with love and walk further in with Maeve to greet their friends from college.

The couples getting married are both from her department in college and the bride is a good friend of hers although she hasn’t kept in touch.

Myra put on a smile as they walk towards the people they know and notice the looks of shock on their faces.

“Myra White?’ someone called loudly with surprise.

“You are…”

Myra stare at everyone and notice they are all staring at her like she was some ghost that had appeared in their midst.

She managed to take a seat while they all continue throwing their questioning glares at her.

“The last we heard of you, you were in a terribly accident”

Myra give a weary smile not sure how to response, she did not expect the news of her accident to have spread at all. Adam would have hid such to avoid trouble with the family.

“We thought you are dead” Enoch Cave, one of the people on the table said bluntly.

“How can you say such? Are you wishing Myra bad?” Maeve shut her off but the others at the table seem to agree with Abigail’s words.

Maeve smile put off quickly feeling uncomfortable with the situation, she has come out to socialize for a change but it seemed it was a rash decision.

“I’m sure that’s not what Enoch meant, we are all just so surprise to see her” Abigail Sampson said and the others nod to agree again.

“Yes. It is so nice to see you again Myra” Another said and the others quickly chip in.

Although their greetings only made her more discomfited, Myra try to put on a smiling face and try to enjoy the ceremony.

She tried to focus on the beautiful time of the evening and try to get updated on the many things she has missed.

During reception, she went with Maeve to congratulate the couple who were elated to see her but do well to hide their surprise to see her though she noticed it.

“Myra, do Mr. Rodriguez allow you outside now?” someone who sighted her came to her with a sarcasm tone.

“I was never stopped from going out” Myra replied not wanting their careless remarks to ruin the good time she is having in years.

“Really? Everyone knows that Mr. Rodriguez detest you and only married you because you forced yourself on him” Abigail appear quickly and adds.

She give a sympathy smile holding a glass of wine and offer it to Myra, her intention was clear enough to Myra.

They have never really being friends though they share the same group of friends, whether it was jealousy or hatred, Myra could not understand Abigail dislike for her.

“I heard rumors that Donna Patrick is back in the country and Mr. Rodriguez has her living in his private abode”

Abigail’s words quickly triggered murmuring and the few people around start to dart their eyes on her asking questions.

“Is this true Myra? Are you going to be thrown out of the Rodriguez house?” someone asked and the heat was raised up again.

Myra watch the curious and sympathetic look on their faces, especially the conceited smile on Abigail’s face.

“What don’t you all mind your business” Maeve quickly come to her defense.

“You shouldn’t just sprout out nonsense you know” Myra found her voice and turn to Abigail.

“I am just concerned about you Myra, after all the dirty tricks you pulled to marry him, wouldn’t it be sad if you are thrown out?” Abigail said again forging ignorance of the fire of rumor she was stirring up. Myra clenched her hands and glare at her ready to lash out on her and tell her to keep her trashy mouth shut albeit someone showed up beside her and distract her for a second.

“If you hadn’t been so concerned about others business, perhaps you would have taken better care of your cheating husband”

“You…” Abigail raised her finger in anger and stared angrily at him before walking away.

The little gossip crowd however did not dispersed but their eyes all became glue to the one who had just helped her.

Myra turn to see who it was and stare at him for seconds not recognizing who he is, perhaps a classmate she has forgotten.

“It’s been a long time Myra” he said and stretch his hand out.

Myra shook his hand and smile back as his smile hits her and she could understand why the others are staring at him so intently for.

“You do not remember him?” Maeve asked in disbelief.

Myra shook at her head getting really curious seeing how excited Maeve is as well.

“That’s Samson Glows! The most handsome guy in college” Maeve said with excitement grabbing Myra’s hands.

If he was really the college heartthrob, then she must have not notice him. She was too focus on loving Adam that she did not look twice at any other man and rejected quite a few.

“He confessed to you first year and you rejected him quickly without giving him a breather, don’t you still remember?” Maeve asked again.

“I rejected him?” Myra asked in disbelief and look towards where he was standing with others.

His eyes turn to her immediately and he gave her a smile, Myra look away and turn to Maeve.

“It was no news that Samson Glows was in love with you but you rejected him cruelly, everyone knows about this”

Myra remember rejecting guys and not allowing any one distract her heart from Adam as she was trying all her best to win him then and proof her sincerity to him.

She must have just casually reject him without much thought to it, if it wasn’t for her infatuation with Adam Rodriguez, perhaps, she would have been with someone who does love her and live a better life than this.

After the wedding was over, Myra stood outside to wait for a cab after abiding Maeve whose boyfriend came to pick up farewell.

The cold of the night hits her body and she was starting to feel shivery when a car pulled up in front of her and the window rolled down.

“Do you mind a ride?” Myra dash her eyes up to see Samson Glows staring at her behind the wheels.

“Thank you” she said without hesitation and get into the car.
