"May I request the light man to switch off the lights. Ladies and gentlemen, please bear with me. Today is the engagement of my sweet sister. As I told you, I missed her childhood, I think she too missed many things from me. But now I will try my best to fulfil all her dreams, all her wishes. Today, on the occasion of the engagement of my sweet sister, I and my wife have prepared a surprise for her. Zinu please come over here." Zinu elegantly walked towards him and smiled. John smiled back at her and continued. "Actually it was my wife"s idea. So, she had to work really very hard for the last two days for this surprise preparation.
John looked at his mobile and continued, "Ok ladies and gentlemen, I just got the notification. It"s time for the surprise for both Dolly and her fiance. So, please hold on your breath and count up to ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and here you go."
The people present over there could not see anything, only they can hear John"s voice through the speaker." Ladies and Gentlemen, let"s welcome the "Man of the day".They all looked at the entrance. Two spotlights suddenly flashed. One on Dolly and another on the man standing in the entrance. Everyone shocked to see the man. The hall became pin-drop silent suddenly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let"s welcome Mr.Charlie, of Smith Enterprise and the fiance of my sweet sister."
Both Dolly and Charlie were standing in the same position without blinking their eyes, as they both feared that this dream-like moment would vanish in the air if they blink.
The people present there were also in the same condition. They all heard that Dolly is going to engage with Henry. Then how can the groom be swapped?
"What is happening here? Will anybody explain this? Where is Henry? "
"I am here grandma. I went to bring aunt. " Henry entered with a middle-aged woman.
Charlie surprised to see her. "Mother! "
Charlie"s mother rolled her eyes and said. "I don"t know what did I eat to give birth a son like you. I never thought that you would let my daughter-in-law marry someone else. How dare you? I told you earlier also that I will not accept anyone else as my daughter-in-law other than Dolly. Today is your day, so I am sparing you. Otherwise, you better know what I would do you." She said and went near Dolly.
"Dolly, I am sorry for the mistakes, Charlie had done. I told you to inform me if he does something bad to you. " Dolly came to her senses when Charlie"s mother holds her hand. She said nothing. She was only staring Charlie.
"How can my dream comes true. Is it really happening? "Charlie too staring her back. He too can not believe what is happenings. Everyone looked at the stage when they heard John"s voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Now I am showing you some rare pictures of this lovely couple."
Everyone smiled to see the pictures. These pictures are from ten years to six years old. In the pictures, both Dolly and Charlie looked cute together, as a teenager.
They both surprised. How can he get all these photos?
"Ladies and gentlemen, don"t you think that they both are made for each other, after seeing these photos? Yes. I too think. Thanks to my best friend Henry as well as Karl, who actively helped us to collect all these.
They both have been loved each other for so many years. But, for some unavoidable reason, they both separated. All this happened due to some misunderstanding. Dolly, he left you to make you happy. He didn"t come forward to defeat Henry because he loves you. You will not get a more suitable life partner, than Charlie. So please accept him. Today this is my gift to you as a brother. "
Dolly could not hold her tears anymore. Zinu called Charlie to go near her. Charlie went near her with hesitation. But he could not control himself when he saw Dolly"s tears. He holds her hands tightly.
"I am sorry Dolly. I should not let you go. I tortured you mentally a lot. I deserved to get punishment. Please, Dolly, don"t cry."
Dolly somehow stop her crying and looked at him. He was also looking at her.
"It"s ok Charlie. I also have done many mistakes in anger. I am sorry too. " They both smiled.
"Charlie and Dolly, please come here. Let"s start the engagement ceremony. They both nodded happily and joined John and Zinu. Ronnie brought two rings and they exchanged the rings. Everyone clapped happily.
The guests came one by one and offered their gifts and wish to both of them.
Mr Davidson and Henry came near them to give her a jewellery box.
"Dolly, my granddaughter, I am happy to see that you got your love of life. Your Charlie loves you very much. n.o.body can love you more than Charlie. Although I wanted to get you as my granddaughter in law, it is not that bad, that I got a good grandson in law. My Henry has done the right thing for the first time. Two days ago, when he told me about you two, I was very angry at him. But when he showed me the photographs of you two, I decided to support him. I am also proud of my Henry." He told with a smile.
"Grandfather thank you for your help and support. And Henry, thank you very much for helping John bro, to bring Charlie back to my life."
"No, with only thanks I am not letting you two go. You have to search for a beautiful, s.e.xy girl for me." He said and winked at Charlie. They all laughed. Zinu and John along with the whole Smith family were looking at them. They all were happy to see their real Dolly had returned.
