Finally the day was approaching. Emaya drove from her apartment in long beach to her home in Arcadia. Her plan was to stay in her home for her brothers wedding.
She dropped her overnight bags in her home, everyone had already set for the rehearsalso basically the house was empty. She gave one last look in the mirror then headed out. She double checked if she looked the doors her dad will kill her because of her carelessness.
Oh god she thought aloud how does these girls walk with such high heels. Man she was gonna have a nice talk with her sister for luring her to wear those pencil heels.
Just for two days Emaya just two freaking days and you can go back to shoes. She kept telling herself. God knows how she drove the forty-five minutes to Arcadia.
Finally after few more curses and complains about the heels she continued her journey to Santa Anita church.
..............
Aldi and his brothers were having fun by teasing Jason about his wedding.
Jason ofcourse was riled by their comments. Jason's fiancee Eva was such a sweetheart. She was understanding of his work and never once complained about it.
Maybe some day he could get a girl like that. Well maybe he had prayed it aloud because god granted his wish. Before was a girl oops! That would be wrong, a women with the most gorgeous chestnut coloured hair he had ever seen. She clothed fully black wich made her look like a revolutionary. She had the most adorable smile he had seen with those rosy lips.
She made her way towards him and smiled. She eyes looked like chocolate wich most men would melt in. She gave him a nod and said " I am already late I guess. Am I?" He was starstruck that the beautiful girl just spoke to him. She had to call him twice to get his attention off her. "Nop you're not, you're just in time"
She mouthed a 'thank you' and headed inside. He followed her trail and closed the church door just in time to see her greet the groom's father. She gave him a hug and kiss on his cheeks. Who is she? "You should stop staring at her and creeping her out aldi" Erick said out of nowhere
Aldi gave him a questionable look. "She was right. You would never recognize her." She knew him? What the hell is going on. "Who is she?" He asked more like a statement than a question. "Geez Aldi are you really an FBI agent? You cant even recognize her" he shook his head. His brother had a nice laugh from that and patted his shoulder " you will find out aldi and you will be surprised ".
Emaya had worn a black anarkali suit. She herself didn't know why she went for a black dress. She hugged eva and greeted rest of her family and friends.
Then she spotted luana struggling with Saniat who was sleepy. She rushed to her sister's aid. "Saniat just one time you have to carry this basket of flowers down the aisle." Her sister's way of confronting the child was not working.
She chuckled at how Lu had no grip over Saniat. "Maybe Lu you should just leave her. She is after all a child." Her sister nodded. She just left her to play with the other kids. "I thought you weren't wearing any Indian attire today" "me too I myself dont know what happened to me. It looks like I came for someone's funeral." They both chuckled.
"The rehearsal is going to start" someone announced. She walked towards her brother and tapped on his shoulder. He smiled at her "I thought you were never gonna come." His comment earned a huff from her. "Where is your best man. I saw him when I entered after that I didn't see him." She asked mentioning about Aldrich.
Aldrich McCall that name used to earn a grumble from her when she was small. If her family wouldn't fill in a page because of the complexity then his family wouldn't fill because of the members in his family. His father was commander in the military and they were seven kids. She used to always wonder how commander McCall took care his sons.
The oldest was Henry who was a judge. Then it was Meira who was journalist. Then it was Aldrich and Allerick the twin. Both were opposite of each other. While Aldrich was a FBI agent Allerick was in navy seals. Then comes Danielle who was a fashion designer and her own clothing line. Then it was William who was a detective and their little sister Cora who was still in high school.
"He is there with Henry" her brother said pointing towards him. She looked at him for a few seconds and said "he doesn't seem to recognize me. He looked stunned like I came from the avengers movie" he laughed. "You're full sass huh?" She answered him with a sly smile instead.
They all were getting assembled for the rehearsal. Emaya reached towards Aldi and said" aren't you coming we are supposed to go in together" she said. She saw Erick and him a hug. He excused himself from there. "Aldi? Are you alright? You look starstruck" she said. He just shook his head as response. "U don't remember me right? Oh god Aldrich McCall I am Emaya Hale. I knew you wouldn't recognize me."
Emaya? That scrawny kid sister if his partner who always cry for small things. When did she grow up like this. He checked her out again to make sure he wasnt seeing things. Man she was very annoying when she was small. "Hey. Oh god Em. You have grown up alot." She smiled and her chocolate brown eyes twinkled.
She kept her arms in his and walked on the aisle both hand in hand.
..............
He kept his eyes on his target. She was walking out of the drug store. Just a simple act and she would believe him.
He walked towards her with a long black stick and purposefully fell down. She rushed towards him and helped him up. Stupid girls are always innocent and doesn't suspect anyone.
He hitted her with the stick and dragged her on the floor. Of course stupid girls are always innocent or is it innocent girls are always stupid? He laughed and his laughter echoed which muffled the girls cries
