Chapter 4 - The Escape From Reality

Bride: I need to get out of this dress,

it feels like it is suffocating me,

I cannot breathe.

Maid: I know the feeling,

the weight of his lies is heavy,

it crushes your lungs.

Bride: Why are you still here?

You got what you wanted,

he is gone.

Maid: I did not want this,

I never wanted to ruin your day,

I just wanted the truth out.

Bride: Well,

the truth is out,

and my life is completely destroyed.

Guest: We should probably leave the bride alone,

she needs some space,

let us clear the hall.

Bride: Yes,

everyone just leave,

leave me to my misery.

Maid: I will go too,

I am sorry for the pain I caused you,

you did not deserve this.

Bride: Wait,

before you go,

tell me about the boy.

Maid: His name is Leo,

he has his father's eyes,

but thankfully my heart.

Bride: Does he ask about him often?

Does he miss a man he never knew?

How do you explain it to him?

Maid: I tell him his father is lost,

lost in a world of greed and ambition,

unable to find his way home.

Bride: That is a poetic way to describe a traitor,

I just call him a liar,

a manipulative liar.

Maid: You are lucky you found out today,

imagine finding out after five years,

after having a child with him.

Bride: You are right,

I am the lucky one,

though I do not feel lucky at all.

Guest: My heart breaks for both of them,

two women manipulated by one cruel man,

it is a tragedy.

Bride: I need a drink,

a very strong drink,

and maybe a new life.

Maid: It gets easier,

the pain fades over time,

the scars just become a part of you.

Bride: I do not want scars,

I wanted a fairy tale,

I wanted a happily ever after.

Maid: Fairy tales are written by men,

to keep women dreaming,

while they build their real empires.

Bride: That is the saddest thing I have ever heard,

but today,

I think I believe it.

Maid: I must go back to my son,

he is waiting for me,

goodbye.

Bride: Goodbye,

take care of Leo,

do not let him become his father.

Maid: I would die before I let that happen,

he will be a good man,

I promise you that.

Bride: Finally,

alone,

just me and this stupid white dress.

Father: You are not alone,
