The unsaid Part 20

Without further ado..here is

The unsaid part 20


At first he thought, “What is she doing here?”

“Well, it was just a date and then she decided to call it off. It was nothing.”

She too looked at him and thought about it for a while but only when they got to meet the producers they were introduced to each other. It was a very cold handshake. They realized they were working on the same movie. Though she hated the guts of Pete, She still had to admit he’d make a perfect designer for the cast, as he, she felt, was like her in thought ( Even though she was not proud to admit this to herself or Pete). They decided on the story line and once again the cast was confirmed, though there were a few changes now. Jenny would start working immediately and Pete too had to start designing. It was going to be a very long year as they planned to finish the movie in 8-10 months and release it in February of the next year.

“Well it’s all set then, Shall we disperse or do we have any more queries?” Mr. Franklin, one of the producers enquired.

There were more clarifications and queries. Finally it was all settled, all doubts clarified.

“Ok then ladies and gentlemen, we meet here exactly one month from now. That’ll be 25th of February 2002”.

Vicky was busy preparing to throw Irene her bridal shower. It was a very beautiful thought and she invited all of Irene’s friends and it was a very happening bridal shower.

*********** *********** ***************
As instructed by Allan, Pete did not use the thousand bucks; instead he paid him the money. He had been requested to design Irene’s bridal gown. As a best friend he couldn’t do more. Irene came to the boutique and tried it on. It was a very beautiful gown.

“It’s gorgeous Pete. Thanks a lot” her eyes were glowing with joy.

“I’m just happy that I could do something for you guys. Don’t mention it.”
It was a beautiful white satin gown garnished with laces, appliqués and tissue. It was everyone’s dream wedding gown.

Jenny was busy, day in and day out writing the dialogues for the movie, she was drafting a rough, redrafting and drafting and redrafting the final draft. She was always seen with the laptop. It was the life line for Jenny right now along with her cappucino. She was in the cab with the laptop. She had forgotten about Andy, Steve, Pete and even how to live. She was dressed in slacks, all the time. She wanted to make it big with her first movie. So she was putting in all the efforts she could. It was as if she was living in another dimension.

It was the 2nd of February and Pete was at his boutique. He was busy drawing sketches for the designs. He checked and rechecked with the existing designs, picking and rejecting. It was, he had to admit, a very tiresome job. He had no one to consult except his assistants. There were two of them Alex and Gracie. They two were putting in their efforts. It was a big break for them too.

************ **************** ***********
It was the 13th of February and it was 6:00 in the evening and there was chaos and commotion at Allan’s apartment. It was his bachelor’s party and it was the usual bachelor’s party and I don’t think I’ll have to elaborate on that. The next day, was the D-day for Allan. He was quite jittery.

“Everyone gets cold feet before marriage Allan, its very natural. Just get over this pre-wedding nerve and you’ll be better.”, advised Pete.

It was a very happening night for the guys and they enjoyed it to the core.

It was Feb 14th and Allan’s wedding went on very well. Pete was dressed in his Tux and was looking smart in the black tux with a neck tie. After the wedding the couple left in the usual tin-foil cans tied car, and the throwing of the bouquet by the bride and usual shower of golden spangles and confetti.

At the dinner after everyone settled down, Pete proposed a toast to Allan, “Well, I’ve known the guy with his gal for just 8 months and he’s just terrific. He was not jittery, unlike others, he was not scared to commit. That takes a lot of courage. I am happy for Irene but sad that she stole my roomie, though. Here’s to Mr. and Mrs. Turner,” and they all raised their glasses in acknowledgement.
