I put down the pack of ice and went to the kitchen... This was my first time away from home.. I'm already missing mom. But i cannot bother her and i have to show her that I'm happy.. Though Everything looks messy,i hope everything will turn out good slowly..I need to be patient with everything...
I started making breakfast for Valin..
"Hhhaaaaaa*sighs*...." i couldn't help but sigh every few minutes.. I was remembering how i would always dream about Marrying the person I love and spending my life with him...
*Hhaaaaaaaaaa.....*Sighs*.....
I finished making breakfast and served it on the table..I still don't know what does Valin likes eating.. And one thing I wasn't sure was why would Valin agree to marry me?
(Few months earlier)..
My ,mother Hilda comes home from the office,all tired and sits on the chair...
I went upto her and asks her if everything was okay.
"There's something wrong with the bank. thousands of dollars is missing... We are suspecting that one of my friend must have swindle our money and now he's nowhere to be found.." ... Mother looked very worried...
We only have this money left with us, if we don't get it back, we will have to live in Streets...
"Mother... ***Don't worry everything will be alright.....
(Few days later***).
Mother comes back home and looked quite happy and satisfied..
"Mother?You look happy?Is the matter solved at the company? i asked happily..
"Well it's not actually solved but it's settled...The emperor heard about my incident and helped us find my friend.Now we are saved." she replies happily.
But i was confused.. Why would he try to help us?? What's his catch,?.. But seems like mother doesn't suspect anything...
(Few days later)..
It was evening and i was in my room looking for something just then mother comes in..
"You busy dear?". she asks..
"Huh? You're back?.. And no I'm not busy..What is it?"....
"***Honey.... What are your thoughts on marriage?".....
"Huh? Marriage...Ummmmm... I haven't really think about it.Why are you asking***?".... I was confused...
"That is ..... hhmmmmmm...Do you remember the emperor saved us last time?"...
"Oh yes..How can i forget him mum.. He was so kind enough to help us..I would love to meet him someday.." i replied excitedly..
"Well... He's kind so I'm sure he will be a great father in law too, Don't you think?"... she was talking hesitantly..
"***I guess he will be..But why are you telling me this?"...
"Honey...he wants you to be married to his son***"...
My eyes were wide open and i shouted..."Hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa?!!!!!"....
I could have refused but i was thinking about how it would affect us..He has helped us ,now if i refuse getting married he might punish mom,which will break my heart.. Mother have done alot to raise me up so it was the least i could do...Get married ...
"Ummmmm....Yeah...he....is a great person so i believe his son will be as kind as him too... I have to get married anyway someday so why not marry someone from a family we can trust!" ..... I hope I wasn't doing anything wrong by replying this...
Mother:- "Aahhhh.. That's awesome.. You're so smart honey..Okay...Then tomorrow we will be going to pick out a wedding gown!".....
"Huh?Why? isn't too early?" .....
"Ooh...I forgot to tell you..The marriage is in two days...".... she was smiling....
"Hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!" i shouted again... Don't i need to meet the guy first and get to know him??Why is the marriage in 2 days!!!!!!
Mother:- "He wants the marriage to be this soon because he'll be moving away to France soon..His son will be taking care of everything here..And he's not sure when he's going to be back so he wants this marriage before he leaves..."
I don't know how to respond to it... Everything was happening too fast....
(The marriage day)....
Valin was already in the alter and i was with mother,ready to walk the isle..I haven't seen him yet..Is he handsome?Tall? Is he fair skinned or dark skinned?.... All thoughts were making me go crazy..
Finally we were called to walk the isle..I put my hands around my mother and started walking slowly... I wanted to look at Valin but dare not look... I was too nervous... We reached the alter and Valin took my hand and and made me stand beside him.... I was too nervous to hear anything.. few minutes later it was time for the groom to lift up the veil ,so i turned too him and stood still.. Looking down,still not daring to look up... He slowly reaches out for my veil and lifts up my veil.... I bet my face was going red that time..I could hear my mother sniffing ...Was she crying???.. Why?She shouldn't cry..She should be happy..I was immersed in thinking all that and didn't hear what was being said around ,and what i did..The marriage vows and putting on the wedding ring,... Everything felt like a dream..Then i heard one line clearly.."You may kiss the bride".... Huhhh???!!!I totally forgot that we have to kiss....!!!And....This is....my first kiss!!!!!!! I was too nervous and was looking down at the floor... Just then Valin lifts up my my chin and made me look up at him....
Wow!!!!!!!!! He..... He's so handsome!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍.... He had a kind look on his face...
Then reaches for my lips and kissed me...
Aahhhhhh.... I'm glad my first kiss was with a handsome guy.....
**************************"
(Back to present..At the kitchen)..
"I was stupid to think that way..Kind face???Huh,!!!!!!!!!!, He's such a ********"...I was so lost in thought and i said it out loud..
"Did you just call me an ********"...Valin just came out of the room and hears it....
