Her heart was thumping against her chest so loudly
she was surprised none of the bridesmaid or the other women around could hear
the loud thumping. She looked at the faces of the people milling around her and
swallowed resignedly, they didn’t understand her plight. None of them knew of
her grief and she could not trust any of them well enough to bare her pain.
Even if by chance any of them heard the thumping in her chest, they would
probably mistake it as nervousness or excitement on her ‘big day.’ Who wouldn’t
think that? It was after all her wedding and she was supposed to be the
happiest woman in the world right then but she felt anything but that; far from
it.
