Teja POV:-
When that female assistant told me about my own fan club, I didn't believe in her.
But when I saw my phone filled with so many notifications on my old account.
I was so shocked.
I had to turn off the mobile data.
So, we all didn't irritate with so many messages.
I had to talk to HR and let them handle my accounts.
After that when uncle showed us our dresses.
I was shocked.
Every dress has a unique design, and they all are so beautiful.
I looked at the dresses but was disappointed when I saw all the dresses were backless.
But Akaash's words made me encourage, and we both started to look at those dresses.
Our eyes stuck on the last dress.
This dress has net full sleeves and shoulder area till my breasts start.
Then the white silk starts and reaches below the ankles.
That means I have to wear heels.
It's okay. After all, I am used to it.
On the waist side, there was a bow that looked beautiful.
Then the fluffy gown starts, and many diamonds are attached to it.
I liked that dress immediately.
When I picked the dress, I realized it was quite heavy.
But it's worth wearing.
Akaash and I went to the changing rooms.
I start taking off my clothes.
I felt blessed to wore my cream-colored bra.
I tried to put the dress on me, but it was quite difficult because of the layers of the fluffy part.
" Mam, do you need any help? " That assistant asked.
I looked at the dress and thought to let her come in.
I can't call both of my moms when they would see my marks. They will start blaming themselves.
" Please help me with the dress. " I said and opened the door for her.
She came inside the locked the door while saying, " Sure, mam. I will help you. "
When she turned and saw my body, her eyes went wide.
She put her hand on her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
" W... What??? " She started to shiver.
" Can you please help me, now? " I yelled with irritation.
She jumped a little and replied, " S... Sure mam! "
She came near me and held the dress.
With her help, I put on the dress.
I tried to zip the dress, by my hands were not reaching the zip.
" Can't you zip the dress? " I yelled at the assistant in frustration.
She flinched.
With a trembling hand, she zipped the dress.
Then I turned and sighed.
I know I was rude to her for personal reasons.
That's not my principle.
" I am sorry. I don't mean to yell at you, but- " Before I complete my apology, she cut me off.
" Is that why you divorced your former husband? " That assistant asked, and I looked at her with shock.
After all, I don't expect this question from her.
" Yes, and many more reasons. I want you to- " I replied, but before I could complete my sentence, she cut me off again.
" Not to tell anyone about these marks. " She said, and I nodded.
I looked at her eyes. She looked at me blankly.
" I- " But I started saying something to her, she hugged me tightly.
" You are my inspiration. Many people think that you have everything. But no one knew the reason behind your sudden coldness.
I felt lucky to fount out the reason behind the sudden change in your behavior three years ago.
I felt great to have you as my inspiration, Ms. Teja Narayan. " She said and broke her hug.
I looked at her dumbfounded.
" You are a strong lady. I will not ask you anything about these marks and your personal life.
But you did the right thing to leave him and start a new life.
You achieved everything on your own.
My respect for you has increased now. " She explained, and tears formed in my eyes.
For the first time, someone said those things to me.
I felt guilty now.
" Thank you!
Also, I am sorry.
I should not yell at you. " I said honestly.
" It's okay, mam.
I can understand your irritation at that time you felt when I was gawking at your marks with pity.
You don't want pity from anyone.
In fact, I am sorry for making you uncomfortable. " She replied, and I smiled.
" By the way, what's your name? " I asked.
" I am Sofia Brown. " She replied with shyness.
" It's a beautiful name. Give me your notepad. I remember you asked for the autograph. " I said with a chuckle, and her eyes sparkled.
" Mam, let's go outside as I forgot my notepad outside the room. " She replied with a pout, and I chuckled.
We went outside while talking to each other and laughed at her jokes.
I heard gasps.
I turned and saw everyone was looking at my wide eyes.
Sofia went and came back with a veil and crown and adjusted on me.
I looked at myself in the mirror and got shocked.
I never knew this dress would show my curves perfectly, and I look beautiful.
I turned and saw Akaash, who looked at me with shock.
I tried to see his emotions but only received blankness.
I gulped as he started to walk towards me.
He walked towards me and held my hands in his.
" Teja... You are looking breathtaking. " Akaash complimented, and I looked at his eyes.
His eyes held adoration, love, and happiness.
I smiled.
Soon everyone started to compliment us.
Then we went to the dressing room and changed our clothes.
We don't need any alteration as these dresses fit us perfectly.
Then I gave my autograph to Sofia and invited them to our marriage.
We bid goodbye and came home.
This time we all went to the restaurant at 10 pm.
Yes, in this shopping our whole day and evening are spent.
We enjoyed ourselves at dinner.
Akaash ordered red wine and meat for everyone except me.
I drank red wine, but I ordered noodles and pasta for myself.
For desserts, we ordered chocolate cake.
After dinner, we all went to Akaash's mansion.
His home was near as compared to mine.
So, everyone decided to crash on Akaash's mansion.
Mom and dad don't have any problem with it.
Now, I am eagerly waiting for the wedding date.
