Chapter 2 - Wedding preparation

I was extremely happy to be part of my Bsquare's wedding. He is so handsome unlike us twins, he is fit and regularly exercises. He has a steady job and luckily met my sister in law at his office. She is a beautiful brown woman with sharp nose and big eyes.

My brothers were teasing me as usual that I am not working and just being lazy. It was a wonderful time of wedding festivities. Three days before the wedding, the pre wedding functions were going on and the bride's side of relatives were present in the party. There, my sister in law's cousin Zed saw me and instantly thought to propose me. I was aware that a set of eyes are staring at me from a distance but I did not pay any heed to it, also secretly enjoying that at least someone was looking at my fat appreance. When he approached me my mind was racing with conflicting thoughts that I was liking his gaze but I do not want anything more than that gaze and appreciation. He approached me cautiously without raising suspicion of anybody specially my ever present brothers. He said "hey Maria you look beautiful in that dress" and I was happy to hear that. Next instant he said "I like you" which filled me with unknown fear. I was not ready to handle this kind of confession nor I wanted any romantic relationship so I ran away. I was not able to answer him properly and I think because of that he felt confident enough to approach me again.

My heart was pounding and I was feeling irritated that I ran away like a coward. I should have told him that I do not want this kind of relationship. And since it was my sister in law's family I was all the more scared to reject him. I started to avoid going near bride's family to hide from Zed. BTwin noticed my erratic behaviour and with his eyes he tried to ask me if there was anything going on. But I shrugged and went towards my mother.

Next day we had to go to bride's place and I and my brothers were busy preparing gifts when I was called by my relative that someone is calling me outside the home. The moment I reached the door I was surprised to see the same guy. He was audacious enough to ask me again that I should consider his proposal but my twin came there and asked me if I know this guy. I ran away again and called BT inside and relayed him the entire story and BTwin got angry that why this guy is still around. I told him that I never gave him an answer so he said that I should not worry and then he sternly asked him to leave. Once we were inside BTwin asked me not to tell the story to my other brothers or mom and dad as it will create unnecessary worries. I thought that my brother has answered him my "no" so I was at ease.

Later in the evening when we went to bride's house I saw him again. In my head he was already friend zoned but in reality he was brooding and was not taking rejection properly. Some fun activity was going on and in the midst of that I received a call from my mother as she did not go and was at home to do wedding preparations. Also she had asked all three of my brothers to stay back to give her a hand in household work. I came along with Bsquare and my cousins. So when mom called I stepped outside the house in the porch and tried to talk to her. She was asking about some clothes which I had kept so I told her and the moment I put down the phone, a hand came on my mouth and pushed me towards a dark corner.

It was so sudden that I was not able to react and the next moment I saw myself against the wall and Zed was standing in front of me with one hand on my mouth and other hand on my breasts. For a second I was shocked and he took advantage of this situation and squeezed my breast. The moment I realised what he was doing I reacted and tried to break free but was unable to get out of his grip. Then he asked me "Do you love me?". I was filled with disgust and with full force of my hands I pushed him, at the same time my cousin was also calling me so Zed loosened his grip. I ran away quickly but before leaving I gave him his answer and said "No I don't love you". I wanted to say more nasty things to him but again fear overtook my mind and I couldn't say further. I just ran away and sat beside BSquare.

I wanted to cry out loudly but I did not wish to be the reason for sour mood of the party so I kept quiet and sat in the corner. I could see Zed had an elated look on his face as he had molested me and I could not do anything about it.

BSquare had noticed my discomfort but did not say anything. When we reached home and everybody went to sleep, I got up from my crowded room of cousin sisters and aunts sleeping all over the place and went to the terrace. I sat in my favourite corner, put my knees closer to my chest and cried without voice. After sometime I felt a hand on my head and when I raised my head I saw Bsquare standing. I immediately tried to wipe away my tears but the damage was done already.
