2024-10-29 19:42:56"Just beautiful" one of my attendees murmured taking a step back and taking in my appearance from head to toe.
I stood up to look at my reflection in the mirror. Indeed I am looking beautiful, the most I ever had. And which girl wouldn't want to look the most beautiful on her wedding day?I spun around, making my gown go twirl and swirl accordingly. It felt like I am spreading sparkle everywhere I am moving, the same sparkles are shining in my eyes too. Smile is not ready to leave my lips and why it should? After all I am going to get hooked with the man of my dreams.
"Ma'am, it is time" one of the attendees interrupted. "Ok" I am excited about my wedding and I want to marry him as soon as possible. They all walked behind me taking the tail of my gown in their hands. As I reached down my brother took my hand to escort me to the stage. I moved my eyelashes to have a proper look at my groom but failed. Why is it so blurry? I am not able to see my groom because of the smog. As far as I know, I don't wear specs.I guess this is because of the veil!
After a minute or two priest announced "You may now kiss the bride" Wasn't that too fast? Nevertheless, I am happy!!!!!!! My groom lifted the veil and moved his face forward to kiss me. Finally!!! It is happening!!!! Before he could kiss me someone changed the song. From light background music, it changed to earth shuddering sound making me startle at my place. 'Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?' My heart jumped in its place and my leg slipped. I tried to catch my groom to save my ass but he didn't help me. My groom was standing on the stage with his hands folded to his chest and laughing at me along with the other guests. How mean! As nothing came in my hand for saving my back I fall to the ground. So, instead of kissing my groom, I kissed the floor. This is when I came to my senses. That was again a dream. Urghh!!! Lazily I opened my eyes and sat up. I yawned while rubbing my nose that was just going to break due to this stupid ringtone. The phone was still ringing and dancing on the table. It seems like it is not dancing due to vibration but because it gets successful in breaking my dream once more.Why it happens to me every time? Aeiin..... this is not done!
'Who let the dogs out?Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?' "Me.. me .. me... me ... me" I repeated after every who. I am hell irritated with this ringtone now. I have to stop Angel from playing with my phone. She always chooses these weirdest ringtones and make me embarrassed in the public. "What?" I picked up the phone"Why are you barking like a dog?" My friend from the other side replied. "What do you want?" "I want you to be ready by 9:00 PM. I would be at your house on time. You have to take me to the club"I took a sharp breath. She broke my dream for this!!!
"You know how busy I was?" "Yes, I know where you were busy""Where?"
"In your dreamland with your prince charming" "Still you disturbed me" I pouted "And you know this time I was going to kiss him" "But ended up kissing the floor" she laughed from the other end. She is such a tease. I scanned the corners of my room to find any hidden CCTV but found none. "Now you lazy girl. Stand up and get ready for tonight. Who knows you get a chance to meet your prince charming today in the club" My eyes lit up at the thought. "Oh yeah!!" "Good girl" I disconnected the call. "Bui.... may I come in?" My angel peeped into my room bringing a smile to my face. She always makes me happy. "How many times should I tell you angel that you don't need any permission to enter my room" "And how many times should I tell you bui that my name is Angelica not angel" I pulled her to my lap. "But for me, you are my angel" I kissed her soft chubby cheeks tightly. "Bui, granny is calling you. Please come into the living room in 5 minutes or she will go mad" "It is not a new thing" I giggled before freeing her. She ran out of my room. My name is Elena Roy and my loved ones call me Ella which means fairy maiden/ moonlight/earth. I was born in India but we left our country when I was three years old as my father was transferred abroad. After that, we permanently shifted here. A few years back my father died and after that my elder brother is taking care of the family. Angelica aka my angel is his daughter. My father never allowed my brother to shift to a separate house as he wants us to live together. And after his death, my brother took up the responsibility. He loves me more than anything. I am still his baby sister. I have already completed my education and did a job for few months but I got bored of that so I left it. Now I am earning through an online business that gives me enough money to take care of my expenses. I am searching for a new job that would give me money with satisfaction. If I don't get one, still I am happy with whatever I am earning. "Ellena Roy, I want you in the living room within a minutes" my mother yelled. Oh my God! I am dead! She calls me by full name when she is mad or when I have done something wrong. Now she is going to take my class. Stumbling back for a second, I jolted towards the door and stood in front of her within a second. "Just look at you! What mess you have made of yourself" Mum scolded me. I moved my eyes on my body before whispering 'A beautiful mess!'"Shut up" I startled at her outburst and Angel giggled. Why is she so mad today? "You were in your room from the last night and I can still see you in your nightdress that means you haven't left your bed today even for a second. Isn't it?" 'Oh, yes!' "I am asking you something" "N... No. Mum. It is not like that. Don't get hyper. You know you have a problem of high blood pressure" "As if you care" "You mean to say that I don't care about you?" "Yes! You don't care about anyone" she sighed. Ok! That hurts."What do you want from me now?" I asked in a serious tone. "Get ready within 15 minutes. We are going to a party" "Which party? And why I don't know about that?" "How would you, when you do nothing except sleeping and using mobile" Ufff! Mum and her taunts. "I am not going to any party with you" "Why?" "I have my own commitments. I have promised my friends to spend my evening with them" "For you, your friends are more important than your family" "Mum, please. Don't start your melodrama" "What happened to my doll? Why is she looking so irritated?" Bhai (Brother) asked pinching my cheek"See Bhai, mum is not allowing me to meet my friends. She is asking me to attend boring parties with our neighbor" "Hmm... So what is wrong in that?" Raine, my sister in law asked. I don't like her that much and I guess the feeling is mutual. I just respect her because she is my brother's wife and my brother loves her. I turned to face Bhai. "Do you know what I did the last time? I slept in one of their room when the party was going on in their hall. This is how much I get bored there. Those parties are not my cup of tea" I pouted with teary eyes. I know this is going to work. "So what do you want?" He asked"I want to go with my friends" I showed him my teeth. But sealed my lips as soon as I realized that I haven't bathed or brushed my teeth today as I was in my la-la land. "Ok, do as you wish. But don't be sad" he patted my hand. "Thank you bhai, I love you" I hugged him tightly. "Love you too" he kissed on my head. "You are spoiling her" mum said to him. "Let her live her life, Ma" "All your restrictions and controlling are just for me," Raine said while rolling her eyes. Ignoring her I turned and moved towards my room jumping all my way. I went straight to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, shaved my body, and took a long shower till I was not satisfied. Wrapping my hair in a towel and wearing a bathrobe I stepped out of the bathroom. I searched for a cute clubbing outfit in which I could stay comfortable as comfort is on the top of my priority list. Finally, I came up with a slim-fitting top with a mini skirt and high heels. Blowing my hair dry, I wore the dress and did a little make-up. Bending down I wore my heels and I was all ready to go. 'Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?' My phone rang at the perfect time. I forgot to change my ringtone!"I am standing at your gate. Come out" my friend said from the other side of the phone."Coming!" Giving a flying kiss to myself in the mirror I left my room with my mobile and car keys. I don't know why I am getting the feeling that something big is going to happen at the club that is going to play a major role in my life. Maybe I am going to meet my prince charming. Who knows? Mentally giggling and slapping my head, I moved ahead. It is just a premonition!!!--------------
Indians call bua to their father's sisters. Bui is the cuter form of bua.

Elena's POV I got tired of continuously dancing and swaying my hips on the music. My feet are paining due to the high heels and I am feeling a little dizzy due to the drink. I decided to take a break before I fall to the ground and kiss the floor once more. Sliding through the crowd and pushing few people to make space I came out and sat on a chair to make my breathings even and bring my heart to its normal pace. We managed to enter this place only because of my friend, Inaya's connection. She managed two tickets with the help of her boyfriend who works here. I can never afford a place like this in my life, at least till I am not getting a secured job that promises me to pay a good amount. I was scanning my surroundings when the hairs of my body stood up and I felt like someone is staring at me. I searched for the owner more intently this time, making my eyes busy in going through the people. Fe

I guess I forgot to shut the window last night.Sun rays were making it difficult for me to open my eyes at once. Groaning, I blinked twice and adjusted my eyes to the light.My stomach growled as I sat on the bed reminding me of last night's incident.

Most of the time his eyes were on me and I had a constant fear that he will pull a stunt anytime in front of my family.Strangely, I woke up so early. It is just 9:00 AM.

My eyes got busy taking in her every feature, her big shiny chocolaty brown eyes blessed with thick eyelashes, her plump lips with a tint of natural baby pink color, her chubby cheeks blessed with dimples whenever she smiles, the tip of her nose that is carrying all the innocence, and her elbow-length brown locks tied up into a ponytail.She isn't the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen nor she is of my type but this girl has a charm that pulled me towards her like a magnet. This is what happened to me that night in the club when my eyes first landed on her.She was swinging her hips and moving her head, catching every beat of the song, her eyes were closed and she was lost in her world, unaware of how many eyes were traveling and lusting over her.

His eyebrows knitted in confusion "When did you join the police?" He asks still standing on the door. "Your hundred culprits can not complete my one as mine is no less than a terrorist" Raphael was still confused with the words of his wife, this is when she took a step aside to show him the actual culprit. The little terrorist was smiling up at him, showing her tiny and white teeth, while he looked down at her in pure admiration and love. "Ohh!" Raphael now understood why his wife was so irritated.

The anxiety and nervousness are at their peak. My palms and feet are numb and my head is so full of thoughts that I can't think anything specific. The only thing that my heart is chanting like a mantra is that every time this day should not turn out to be a dream. I want it to be a reality. Strong emotions have overpowered me, making me feel surreal. We have kept the wedding very simple as our families are small. My family has arrived two days back and Raphael has invited a few of his colleagues to attend the wedding. The decoration is very modest because both of us have decided to spend money on a world tour instead of doing unnecessary expenditure on the wedding. "Bui, daddy is

I woke up from a siesta when I felt thirsty. I checked my bottle just to find it empty. I walked towards the kitchen to refill it.As I was crossing the hall I saw that Raphael's room door was open. I peeped into it slightly and found him having his lunch on the bed. He was struggling with the food because of the bandage on his right shoulder. He was trying to eat with his left hand.After giving it a thought, I decided to go into his room. The ignoring game is not going to work for long.He

Elena's POV Shock is a very small word to express what I am feeling at present after looking at the completely changed demeanor of Raphael. I never thought even in my worst nightmare that he can trade his mother for money and love. This is not the person whom I loved and if this is his real face then I am not going to accept him in any way. I flinched at my place at the gunshot and snapped my head in the direction of the voice and found Xaphan standing there with a gun pointed towards the sky, firing in the air. He was looking drunk as his eyes were bloodshot red and his knees were wobbling. He was not able to stand still on his feet. He yelled like a beast and pointed his gun towards Lucifer. "How dare you?" He roared, clasping the gun with both hands and making the balance. "Put the gun down, Xaphan" Lucifer instructed. But he was too high to give heed to anything.
