Joy?

Matthew was actually very surprised to see the close relationship of Aaron and Liam. It was a type of intimacy developed after years of friendship.

When Matthew got out of his thoughts, he heard Liam asking Aaron.

" Aaron, did you meet Georgia?"

Matthew was confused for a moment then he remembered that Georgia was the fiancee of Liam.

" I have not met with her yet." Aaron answered with a bit of embarrassment.

" Oh god! Here you have been lecturing me till now,ha. If I can't come to you, can't you come to us."

" Actually, it is not like that, I mean, let me explain,.." Aaron stammered while speaking.

" So, what was the reason, ha? If Georgia and others will be angry with you, do not tell me mediate for you.

Wait a minute, someone is already angry with you. I guessed it right, ha. You deserve that.

Ha ha ha" Liam laughed loudly holding his stomach.

Aaron was visibly shy being exposed like that. He put his hand over Liam's mouth to stop his laughter and save himself from embarrassment as his loud laugh had attracted quite an attention.

Liam stopped laughing after a while then he put his one hand over Aaron's shoulder and started dragging him towards the other side of the party.

While practically dragging him, Liam turned towards Matthew.

" Come on, Matthew let me introduce you to my fiancee."

Matthew silently followed them to the the girls' side. Of course, no opinion of Aaron was asked in the whole process.

Liam and others arrived at the girls' side. Most of the women there were wearing white short dresses. In between those a woman with off shoulder body hugging mini black dress was sitting. It was not hard to guess that the woman was to be the bride Georgia.

Georgia had shoulder length golden brown hair, hazel coloured eyes and a fair skintone. She was actually quite beautiful but the most beautiful thing was her gentle looking smile.

Liam walked towards her as everyone moved away to give a path for him. He held her hand and one could see the tenderness and gentleness he held for her in his eyes.

Georgia also smiled more widely seeing him. Anyone could see that they were a couple extremely in love.

Moving her eyes from Liam, Georgia looked over to Matthew and Aaron. She smiled at them.

" You are Matthew, right. Thank you for coming our party. Sorry for any inconvenience that was caused." Georgia first spoke to Matthew.

Matthew was quite surprised that she could recognise him as a lot of people did not really know him. He was only twenty five right now and just entered the business circle about two years ago. He now really believed Georgia must be a gentle and responsible person as she must have paid attention to each and every person on the guest list.

He replied, " I am really surprised that you could recognise me. Well thanks to your hospitality I did not suffer any discomfort.

Congratulations on your wedding."

That was the end of the conversation for them as they had met each other for the first time and the only words they spoke were some polite greetings.

After guiding Liam and others to a nearby sofa, Georgia turned towards Aaron who was trying to keep his presence hidden as much as possible.

" You, boy. You finally had time to come and meet me, ha. When was the last time when you met us, do you even remember?" Georgia said in an reprimanding tone to Aaron as if treating him like a child.

" Aiiio, Gorgeous I am sorry, okay. I was busy shooting the last six months or so.

That is why I was hesitating to meet you all. I knew you would be angry."

" Why wouldn't we be angry, ha? You broke your promise you know.

And you know we won't be angry for long with you."

" I knew you all liked me the most." Aaron happily chirped while Liam and Georgia also showed a slight smile.

On the other hand, Matthew was feeling quite envious seeing their friendship as he also had friends but not as close them.

Just then Aaron's face fell and he said ," What about Rose? I had broken the promise with her."

Liam said in a sarcastic voice," Oh! Now you know how to care about others.

Anyway anyone could be angry but not her.

As if you don't know her, she has the least temper among us. She has long forgotten her anger."

Hearing this Aaron decided to ignore the sarcastic tone and breadth a sigh of relief hearing that.

" By the way, where is Rose? I did not see her here just now."

" She has gone to take a call outside. I don't know what is taking her so long.

Oh, just talk about her and there she is. She will definitely live hundred years." Georgia answered while she stood up and went forward towards the garden area.

Matthew could just see a silhouette of a woman as it was a bit dark and that woman was quite a distance from them.

Seeing the silhouette coming towards them, he unexpectedly felt a little familiar and suddenly remembered the woman at the airport. It was quite unexpected that he could still remember her.

As the woman was just about to come in front of them, Matthew unable to calm down jumped from his seat and rushed towards her.

Without giving others the chance to react, he came in front of the woman. He grabbed her hand and said in a trembling voice,

" Joy!!!

Is it you, Joy. You finally came to me."
