Is that her?
The girl in front of me has picturesque eyebrows, a delicate nose, and gentle appearance which was quite different from the rebellious look before. If Elena didn't see her on her brother's farewell day, she wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Elena excitedly run to the sister forgetting her brother's warning not to run around.
"Hello!! Pardon me, but are you sister Zarah?!"
Zarah was in awe seeing Elena approaching her. More than being awed she was surprised that this girl knew even knew her.
A few minutes ago,
Zarah entered the wedding hall but the situation in the room was a little strange. She wandered around the wedding hall alone for a while but didn't see her cousin. A few girls were gossipping and laughing beside her.
"I think that girl Elena had done it on purpose."
"How can there be so much co-incidences? That girl pretended to be scared of mice just so that she could seduce Mr. Roy."
"I can't believe nowadays little girls have become so shameless,"
another red haired girl said. She was also one of the fanatic admirer of Aahil Roy. When she saw that Elena hugged Aahil and he didn't push her away like other girls, she was so jealous that she wanted to kill that bitch.
Zarah was about to pass by them but suddenly stopped hearing the name of Elena. She was too familiar with the name.
Are they talking about the same person I have thought of?but Elena is definitely not like that.
At that time another girl intervened, you should stop saying such things. Do you know Elena's brother ?
Zarah's heart skipped a beat. Before she could ask them, someone approached her first.
"Oh Ms. Mallik, you are here. I've been waiting so long for you."
Suddenly everyone's attention shifted to her including the girls who were talking besides her.
"Wow, is that the legendary adopted daughter of Mallik family. She is really pretty."
"But I've heard she is an illegitimate child....."
"Hush!!! Shut up. If she listens you are gone. Do you know how pampered she is at home,"
Zarah couldn't ask what she wanted to ask but she still has to smile at them. Because only then she can get the information she wants through them.
Zarah was adopted by Mallik family, one of four major families in the country, 8 years ago. After getting adopted to Mallik family, Zarah's life has turned upside down.
Everyone wondered Mallik family already have so many children, why did they still adopt another child who has nothing to do with them. Some people suspected that she is an illegitimate child
Many people approach her, wanted to get close to so that they could get some benefits through her. Although there are some kind people among them too. But she knew most of them are not. There are many who despise her in their heart but still pretend to be close.
Zarah was quite disgusted with this kind of people. Over the years, she get accustomed to them, even knows how to handle them and use them for her own.
She has also become quite famous through this type of people's gathering. Now she could be considered queen of social party.
I am so sorry, Mrs. Shen. I was struck because of some business. So I came late.
"By the way, did something happen here?The wedding hall seems a little quiet."
"Hahaha, it's no big deal, Ms. Mallik. The little girls played a prank. Now are getting scolded for it. That's why they seem quite. Just wait a while when they adjust their mood, you wouldn't be able to stand their trouble too."
"I see, then I must have missed some fun part of the wedding then. I was really worried because just heard someone saying that a girl named Elena tried to seduce Aahil. Last time it created such a ruckus, the party almost got ruined."
Everyone become silent. The girls who were saying these words paled. They were just saying jealous words. But if their words get out and reached to Elena's brother, they would be done.
Mrs. Shen immediately shifted their topic, no it's nothing like that!! That girl girl Elena is very good girl. Come with me, I would introduce her to you. You will like her too.
Just then, Elena came to her, " Pardon me, Are you sister Zarah?"
Mrs. Shen said to Elena, "oh Elena you knew her too. I was about to introduce her to you."
"Of course I have seen her before, do you recognize me, I am little Elle. My brother must've mentioned my name to you before."
Zarah's heart was beating very fast that she could hear her own heart beat. She said a few words. Her voice was trembling,
"Is your brother here too,?"
"Elle, didn't I tell you not to run around, Why don't you listen?" Emir came before Elena could answer Zarah question. Hearing Emir's voice, Zarah wanted to look back but she was afraid to meet his eyes.
"Brother, I am not running around. I came to meet sister."
"Here is my brother, look he has become more handsome now, right."
Emir was puzzled with Elena's behavior, "why is the looking like he was about to sell him?"
Then he saw the girl next to Elle looked at him with wet eyes that curved into crescents, which seemed to be filled with layers of light. The light is extremely bright.
"Why does the girl look like she was about to cry seeing me? Am I so scary? "
Somehow he felt that eyes were so similar. It looks like that high school girl but there appearance is quite different.
"Miss, do we know each other?" Emir thought he asked quite politely but saw that the bright light in the girl's eyes diminished.
She asked, "Don't you remember me?"
Elena held her head speechlessly. This idiot brother, he will remain single all his life. In order help her brother out, Elena said, haha sister, you don't know my brother is a little face blind.
Emir thought, since when was he have face blindness?
Of course he remembered his high school classmate, you even helped him when he was injured. He told me a lot about you. Right, brother.
Emir was dazed, so she really is that girl.
"Yes, Elle is right. I was a little confused because you have changed so much these years. "
Zarah only smiled little embarrassedly and said, sorry, I have to go to the restroom. After saying these she almost run from them. She felt if she stays here for a second, she would not help but cry.
After reaching a quiet place, Zarah placed her hand on her beating heart, smiled self deprecatingly.
"What do you expect, Zarah. so many years have past, I thought I will be okay now but it looks like it still hurts here."
Here Elena started yelling at her brother,
"Are you stupid, bro? Sister Zarah must be hurt."
"But what did I do?"
Think about it yourself. Saying these Elena ignored Emir and left.
"Stop Elle, put on you shoes first," Emir ran behind Elena to catch up.
