Chapter 815: A DANCE WITH ME
Today is Keira and Ben's wedding day. Kia and Mika had been preparing since the morning and they both looked so beautiful in matching light blue dresses, showing that the dresses were from a twinning set.
Mika was the happiest because she had the same dress as her mother.
"Yeah, we will be leaving soon," Kia said to Misha over the phone.
This week Misha had business matters, which required him to go out of town, which meant he wouldn't be able to accompany Kia to attend Keira's wedding.
Actually, Kia didn't really expect that, because the party was just a small party attended by less than a hundred people and didn't seem to suit Misha.
But, because Keira already knew Misha as well, she extended an invitation to him, only the timing wasn't right and he was currently out of town.
"Thank you for the dress, Mika really likes it," said Kia, smiling when she saw Mika dancing in front of the mirror, as if she were a princess from a fairy tale.
"You know, you can thank me in another way," Misha said. He always said this every time Kia thanked him.
"In what way?"
"Think about it, it will be your homework," he said playfully, which made Kia smile.
And then because they had to leave soon and Misha had a meeting to attend, they hung up after Misha spoke to Mika and the little girl told her how beautiful she and her mother looked now.
Mika also described the details of the dress she was wearing.
Mika's childish voice made Misha want to keep listening to her, because he was sick of hearing the low voices of men trying to seek sympathy from him, not to mention those who spoke with ulterior motives.
But, because they had their own things to attend to, the conversation didn't last long.
"Bye Uncle!" Mika exclaimed cheerfully. She even waved her hand at the phone, thinking that Misha could see her. "I will dance at the party later, I hope you see it when I dance in this dress."
And after that, they went to Keira's wedding where a driver and a car with two bodyguards had been prepared to escort them.
Kia had protested about this since she was just going to attend her best friend's wedding, but Misha didn't listen. He said that this would give him peace of mind, therefore, Kia had to accept it.
And because Misha looked tired, she didn't want to argue anymore and let it go, with the condition that the two bodyguards wouldn't enter the party area, because it would look very awkward if there were two men around her.
"We are here," said Tim, the middle-aged man who became the driver. He opened the door for the two of them.
"Thank you, Tim!" Mika exclaimed while jumping down and Kia said the same thing.
Holding her daughter's hand, Kia walked into the building which had been decorated with various kinds of adornments in white nuances as soft strains of songs filled the air, which made the atmosphere of this wedding party feel very sacred.
"Kia! Mika!" Keira exclaimed when she saw the two of them and this made all the visitors there turn and stare at Kia and Mika, but Keira didn't seem to care. She was too enthusiastic to be able to meet this mother and daughter pair. "I thought you were not coming."
Only Keira and Ben know what really happened to Kia.
"Of course, I will not miss it for the world," said Kia, kissing Keira's cheek. "You look very beautiful."
Keira looked very elegant in her white wedding dress and also a tiara on her head.
"You know," Keira said in a low voice, so only Kia could hear it. "The price of this wedding dress is much higher than the cost of the wedding itself."
The wedding dress was a gift from Misha. He did say that he would pay for the entire wedding just because Keira managed to get Kia to come to the Tordoff family reunion some time ago.
However, Keira refused and said that he just needed to buy her a wedding dress. She was then taken to a famous boutique by Misha's assistant and had the privilege to choose the dress she liked.
Who would have thought that the dress she had chosen had such a large nominal value?
Feeling bad, Keira intended to cancel the order, but they said that it couldn't be cancelled.
"I want to auction off this dress and use the money to pay down payment for the house," said Keira. She had to be very careful with that dress. "What do you think?"
Kia laughed when she heard this. "I would do the same if I were you." They both laughed at the plan.
"Aunty, Aunty!" Mika tugged at Keira's dress to get attention.
"Oh, yes, honey?" Keira slightly lowered her body so she could be on the same level as the little girl.
"Look at my dress! I have the same dress as mama!" Mika exclaimed while spinning, showing off her dress.
"Oh, right! You look so beautiful!" Keira exclaimed excitedly while clapping and Mika smiled proudly.
"Mommy is beautiful too."
"Yes, of course your mother is very beautiful."
"Aunty is beautiful too."
"Thank you," Keira said with a big smile.
And after that, Keira then showed Kia and Mika seats, which were in the front row, close to the seats of the families from both sides.
The wedding ceremony took place very solemnly and very touchingly, especially when the wedding vows were read.
Kia smiled while crying when she saw Keira cry. She was happy because her friend was getting the happiness she deserved.
And nothing in this world could make her happier to see the people she loved happy.
"Do you want a wedding like this?"
Kia flinched and immediately turned her body around, only to find Misha sitting on the bench right behind her.
"How did you get here?" said Kia in a low voice, because everyone was solemnly observing the course of this wedding ceremony.
"I finished my meeting earlier and flew here immediately," Misha said casually. "You have not answered my question, do you want a wedding like this?"
However, Kia didn't want to answer that and still tried to change the subject. "Is there a sudden flight schedule like that?"
Misha tilted his head and looked at Kia with mirth in his eyes. "Why do I have to follow the flight schedule? I have my own plane that I can fly whenever I want." He smiled arrogantly, seeing how Kia had forgotten how rich their daughter's father was.
"So arrogant," Kia scoffed, but when she turned her gaze forward, there was a small smile playing at the corner of her lips.
And after the solemn event was over, came the reception part, where the event became lighter and filled with laughter.
"Uncle?!" Mika looked at Misha with her big eyes and raised her arms, asking to be picked up. She only noticed Misha there when he gave her a small plate of pudding earlier. "Mama said you have an important meeting and can't come?"
"I did have a meeting, but it's over," Misha answered while pulling Mika into his lap. "But, because you said you wanted to dance, I came, as I wanted to see you dance."
Mika's eyes lit up when she heard that. She looked very enthusiastic.
"What do you think of this marriage?" asked Misha. "Do you like this kind of concept?"
"Are you trying to hit on me?" Kia narrowed her eyes at Misha.
"I should at least try, right?"
"Who actually taught you pick- up lines like that?"
"Richard."
Kia laughed softly, she didn't know what to say anymore. "You should stop listening to him."
Misha just laughed along when he heard the comment.
And when it was time for Mika to dance to the music, Misha recorded it on his cellphone and this was something that rarely happened because he was not the type of person who captured the moments around him.
"Do you want to dance with me?" Misha asked Kia after Mika finished dancing and sat comfortably drinking her fruit juice and was in the middle of the kids her age.
"No, I can't dance," Kia said, shaking her head.
"Why not? I can't either."
"Are you planning to embarrass us both, Mr. Tordoff?"
Misha laughed at that. Luckily, the invited guests didn't recognize Misha and they only thought that he was a handsome man who was a friend of the bride and groom.
Because all of them who were here were not from the upper class like Misha, they were not very familiar with faces like Misha and would not expect a Tordoff to attend a simple wedding like this.
"Not really," said Misha, standing up and holding out his hand to Kia. "But you will embarrass me if you don't accept my offer."
Misha stood before Kia and it would be very awkward if she didn't accept his offer.
Therefore, Kia then placed her hand in Misha's hand begrudgingly.
"Don't be angry if I step on your feet later," Kia warned.
"I think this is an agreement that we won't get mad at each other if we step on each other's toes," said Misha with a sweet smile as he pulled Kia onto the dance floor and hugged her tightly.
"You are a bit pushy I guess."
"That's how I grab my deals."
