I was standing there in front of the mirror smoothing my dress just finished with my makeup and hair and then I heard the door burst open... I turned to see my so called brother walking vigorously towards me.. Even a dumb person will know when a someone is angry... I know why exactly he is angry... Maybe angry is an understatement. Because what I'm about to do is total foolishness but I have no choice I have to do it
"Are you out of you fucking mind? Sparky!!! I thought you were the only sensable person in our family, but you just proved me wrong... God what is wrong with you...? why do have to say yes everytime that old drunken man ask you anything.. literally anything.." My brother spoke to me in his anger tone.
I walked and stood dangerously close to him. I caught his by his collar and pulled him even more close to me. His nose and my nose were touching eachother. I said in a very calm voice " If you ever call my father that again I would not even consider that you are my brother. I will slap you right across your face."He looked shocked by my act and words which was totally opposite. I continued to say "If someone else was in your place I would've killed them by now" with that I left him standing their stunned. I walked up to the mirror again and looked at my reflection. I had the best stylist standing next to me. "You look gorgeous mam" , the stylist said. I turned to him and gave him a warm smile. Everyone around me now knows that whatever I do isn't genuine. Yes that's true.
You know why? Coz I'm getting married now and I'm not even interested in it. Everyone around me are saying that this is the most stupidest decision I have ever taken in my life. But I can't help it. I love my dad and I will do anything for him.. literally Anything.. From the day I was born till now my father never asked me to do anything for him. But now he asked one thing. Just one thing. That is to marry this guy.
And me being the emotional idiot , I said yes.. When I say I don't even know who this guy is , trust me I really don't know this guy and still I'm gonna live with him. Not for long. I may be stupid but not that stupid to place my life in some random guy's hands. No Not me.
I have plans . I would never let anyone ruin my happiness. I know my dad's happiness is temporary. But mine ? I don't know that yet. But all I know is one day my dad is gonna regret what he is doing now. So I did all I could to make this less regret , for me and for him.
So here I am standing in my wedding dress and waiting for my dad to walk in and say its time for me to marry this guy.
If you wanna know why my father asked to marry this guy, you have to know what happened in these past few days..

Last Week
I woke up by the irritating alarm sound. I got up and turned off the alarm and saw the time. Fuck.. I'm late .. Again... Uhhg. Remind me to never .. never drink on Sunday night.. I was still in the hangover mood. But I'm running late so I took a quick shower and dressed in a vintage solid lantern sleeves knee length dress and left my hair loose. I walked out and grabbed my purse , phone and my new project. When I checked my phone , I had 5 missed calls and 10 messages from my best friend / assistant Chole. She is the most sweetest assistant and the most irritating best friend I could ever get. But I love her. Without her I would never be in this position. But now I'm scared . I'm simply scared because I'm late again and her words were echoing in mind
" If you are late one more time I will resign my job" . God , I know that is dramatic , but still I can't afford to lose her. Ever since she said that I even started getting nightmares that she would leave me high and dry and I'm suffering without her. So without a second thought I started running out of my room towards the main door . I took the keys which were placed on the table and rushed out and locked the door behind me. I started running toward the lift. Luckily there was no one so the lift was already there. I quickly got into the lift and before pressing the basement button I looked out to see if anyone was coming for the lift. And when I saw none I pushed the button and in few mins I was in the basement. As soon as the lift opened I started rushing towards my car. And then I heard a voice. " Hey, good morning". It was my neighbour. I looked at her and waved my hands and said " good morning have a nice day". I didn't even wait for her reply. I got into my car and started driving to my office. I know I am the boss. But that doesn't mean I can walk into my office whenever I want. I set an example and I have to maintain it. Within 45 mins I reached the office. I had 5 more mins and I'm damn sure it will be wasted in finding a parking spot and waiting for the lift. But luckily I found a parking spot . I parked the car and made sure it's parked properly. I ran into the office towards the lift. I rushed in so that I didn't miss this lift or else I should wait for nice 10 mins. And I am not ready to get screwed from Chole. I asked a guy to press the 11th button. That is where my office is.
If you don't know what is work... I'm the most want wedding planner in India. I mostly work for celebrities and rich assholes.
No offense. Even though I'm rich, I hate rich people. And My company is called 'Forever & Ever'.
Now the lift was Fully empty coz 11th floor is the last floor . The lift stopped and I walked out. My receptionist greeted me with a big smile . " Good morning Sparkle. "
Yeah that's my name. Sparkle. Sparkle Morris. The name that perfectly suites me.
"Good morning Esha" I replied her. Before I could walk away she spoke in a very low voice. " Chole is waiting for you and the clients just arrived. If you don't go in now Chole would literally blast you." I chuckled and gave her a thumbs up and quickly walked towards the meeting room.
I was near the door thats when I heared Chole saying " please be seated I'll make a quick call to my boss . Usually she would be here by now but... " I intrupted her by opening the door " No need Chole I'm also on time". That is true I was just on time. I could she Chole relaxing now. She would've been tensed that I would not make it on time.. But me .. no I will never do that.
I sat on my chair and addressed the couple . The guy is some film producer and the girls is well I don't know.. I offered them some coffee and I showed them few designs and some locations. After all the discussion they finally gave me their details and walked out of my office happily. That is all I want. My customer's satisfaction is all I want. Chole walked the couples out. And when she came back she started yelling on top of her voice. "I told you I would .. " before she could even finish her sentence I said "I'm sorry okay I spent time with my family yesterday and drunk a lot too much so I had a hangover and I couldn't get up early and.." . "Enough" She said and popped in the chair next to me. "That's fine but if you do this next time.." she said " yeah yeah you will leave the job" I completed the sentence. We both started laughing. It was lunch time so we both went out to have our lunch. We also have lunch together. I walked up to Esha's desk to ask her if she would like to join us. But she said she already had her lunch. This girl is a perfectionist. All aways on time. Me and Chole said our byes to her and walked out.
We reached a near buy restaurant . We sat down in quite place so that we could have our lunch in peace. Through out the lunch we spoke about business and how to develop it more. I was planning on heirng a designer. But Chole doesn't want to coz she thinks my designs are far better than anyone else. So left the topic then n there.
After our lunch we walked back to the office. In the lift we were making fun of the guys who worked on the 9 th floor. They all are models and looks soo hot. One day when Chole was walking towards the lift, a guy from the ninth floor approached her . They both took the lift together and spoke through out the lift. When the ninth floor arrived. He asked her out and they exchanged numbers. After that Chole came to me and made a happy dance and said what happened. I simply laughed and told her to be careful. The very next day me and Chole saw him making out with the 6th floor receptionist.. I couldn't control my laughter. Chole was so mad. She confronted him right there and rest is history. I never saw that guy again. Like ever.
We reached our floor and walked out of the lift. I saw my receptionist talking in the office phone. And when she was us . She spoke to me with the receiver in her hand 'Sparkle a customer has called to get an appointment . When can I give them one.?" I looked at Chole and she just shrugged. I answered her " Tell them that they can have an appointment tomorrow at 12:00 pm sharp okay.." and she nods and I walked towards my cabin. Chole walked towards her's. I was working on the accounts when Chole walked into my room to clarify some doubts about the location and the catering contractor. As I was talking to her my phone started ringing. We both looked at my phone , because I never get calls at this time. My mind started running in 1000km per sec when I saw the name. The three letters gave me confusion and stress. Chole squeezed my shoulder and signalled me the pick up the call and I did. And all he said was 7 words. Thats it.That is all he said.
And if your wondering who it is and what he said.. Its my Dad and all he said is " I want to see you right Now..." He didn't even let me talk. As soon as he said he cut the call. And as soon as he cut the call, I received a location link. I face palmed and told Chole that I'm leaving and not to wait for me and to reach home safe.
Next thing I know is I was parking my car at a random location my dad had sent. I got out of the car and started walking inside. But little did I know that this is gonna change my whole life....
