Obinna nodded with a smile. He was smartly dressed in black suit, and his wife who stood beside him wore a fitting blue dress.
‘We do know that similar coming-of-age celebrations occurs around the world just like the quinceanera in parts of latin America and debutante balls in the US… which I today decided to give my daughter a memorable experience.’He paused, and said after a moment, looking at Isabelle who was now standing besides Patricia, ‘When my beautiful wife Isabelle celebrated her debut I was her escort, though her debut had been a simple one. My daughter’s is grander!’
Hearing these words, the guests roared in
laughter, causing Isabelle’s eyes to twinkle. Nicholas had been her escort, and
now someone was her daughter’s escort. She wondered if Daniel would end up
being Audrey’s husband just like Nicholas ended up marrying her. Audrey glanced up at Daniel and smiled. Daniel
smiled too. He seemed to be in cloud nine because he was Audrey’s escort. He
wished that everything wouldn’t just end here but he would end up marrying her
just as Nicholas married Isabelle.
‘I wish to precede the 18 Roses Dance with the debutante who is my adorable princess.’Nicholas glanced sweetly at Audrey who gave her most winnng smile.
The
sole purpose of this 18 roses dance was simply to honour the closest male of
the celebrant; which of course included her uncles, cousins, close friends,
suitors or boyfriend. And each of these people were to dance with Audrey after
presenting her with a single red rose or
tulips which was one of Audrey’s favourite flowers. The 18 men were
elegantly dressed, looking handsome and refreshing.
