My Mystery Kisser

"The bride is missing. She might run away from the wedding.”

 Those words shook everyone in the ceremony. This was supposed to be the most expensive wedding in the country. Every known powerful person and his family were there. Why wouldn’t they be??? The invitation to such a ceremony was an honour for all of them.

The groom was standing on the stage and was looking around. He was the most powerful person in the entire country. He was rude, he was inhuman. No one ever dared question his decision. The bride ran away and that was going to tremble his reputation and he would die but he can’t let a mere girl decide his fate.

A man walked up to him while he was standing there expressing no emotions at all. He wasn’t looking sad or angry or mad. No one was able to figure that out.

“Son, I think we have to cancel the wedding now.”

“No, Dad. Today is the day I get married and nothing will stop me.”

“But your girlfriend, oh sorry, bride-to-be, ran away. You have to cancel it.”

“It’s okay. I would marry some other girl in this room. There must be so many willing to marry me.”

“We can’t let you marry any girl. We don’t know about their families. We have a class.” Her stepmother, who he hated the most, spoke in between.

“Can you please just stay away from my matters??? I know what’s best for me.”

Saying that he turned towards the hall.

“Gentlemen and ladies! As you have heard, my bride-to-be is gone. Now, Is anybody in this room willing to marry me right now???”

His loud sound and deep voice made everything silent in the room for a while.

“If anybody is willing, you have 10 minutes to decide. I will ask after that.”

He sat down on the chair very patiently and calmly while there was chaos and everyone was talking and whispering. People were on phone calls. He lit a cigar and waited and after 10 minutes he got up. The room which was a fish market a minute ago had turned into a graveyard.

“Girls who are willing to marry me come in the front.”

He knew what to expect. His father was still not sure about his decision and his step-mom couldn’t do anything to stop him.

It took a few more minutes and all the single girls in the hall were now standing in the form of a row and he was looking at them.

“Is that everybody???”

He got down and looked at those girls. He smiled and then again looked at the people standing behind him. Anxious to know whom he would choose and make his queen. He was looking around and his eyes stopped on a girl.

Strangely, she wasn’t standing with the other girls. She was beautiful and single. He wondered why she wasn't in the front row. He got near her.

“Don’t you want to marry me???”

“Sir! You are my Boss. I never looked at you that way.”

“I know, but don’t you think you are insulting me??? You are my secretary and you are refusing to marry me. Why??? Are you unaware of the perks of being my wife???”

He said in his usual tone but she got scared.

“No, it’s nothing like that. I Just….”

She didn’t know what to say and waited for his reply.

‘’Don’t you like me???”

“It’s not like that, sir.”
