My Supervisor’s Wedding
It has been quite some time since I last spotted my boss. Fortunately, I’ve been seeing numerous news from her with the help of social networking sites nowadays. As I recall her, Sharon is the type of girl who would not want to be tied up to somebody as she is happy being free like a bird. All she could care for was to get through with the day’s work. She was the workaholic type for me, though. And when she plays, she is a playaholic since she knows how to party real hard. She loves grunge fashion and she loves rock music.
I really had a hard time thinking of her as a supervisor. She was more like a friend and a colleague I’d see everyday at work. At work, we weren’t allowed to surf the internet during office hours. And since she was my supervisor, I got away with it. I spent lots of hours surfing the internet, saving pictures of my favorite super heroes and then print them later on, in full color using the company’s printer which was just a few meters away from me. She knew that and she let me get away with it. Of course, I loved her for that.
Just one day, she told me she was leaving due to the fact she did not agree with the way of the management. She said there was a lot of connivance and corruption going on in the office and she did not want any part of it. She hugged me and whispered in my ear to be mindful of the people around me when she leaves simply because she will not be there to defend me anymore. I cried and hugged her for the last time. And then she went into the elevator going down. That was the last incident I ever saw her.
After a few years, lots of social networking sites have popped up like mushrooms. Obviously, I had to sign up with a lot of them because I was told that I’ll be in a position to search for and hear from old friends again when they sign up for it as well. And I wasn’t frustrated. I stumbled upon Sharon in an incredibly famous networking site. I quickly invited her to be in my buddies list and she responded immediately.
Lately, we’ve been chatting a lot through the site’s instant messenger application and was I surprised just now when she told me she’s getting married tomorrow. She will become Mrs. Russ. She showed me their wedding rings through the pictures she uploaded. They’re like infinite gold vines. Hers is a small one and a larger one for her soon-to-be husband. She showed me her husband’s gifts to her with their pictures attached to it and the wedding gown for tomorrow’s event. It is simply stunning. The dress sparkled like a diamond and has several gold beads sewn on to the base of the gown. She even showed me the cufflinks she’ll give to her groom as a gift. The cufflinks looked like a pair of platinum disco balls.
She said she decided on that design because they both love very good music and they both love to dance. I am incredibly happy for her. She said we’ll see each other soon and she will bring along her husband, too. Though I am unable to be at their wedding tomorrow, I am still thankful to be just one of the first individuals to get a glimpse of her gown, their wedding rings, the cufflinks and needless to say, the bride-to-be.
