Next Morning...

" Angel!"

My father opens the door with a subtle push. His head is hanging down, seemingly he is here to apologize for something they actually don't think they are guilty over.

" Why did you skip the meals? You know you can't stay without a meal. Shall I order something delicious for you?" he said, approaching me with slow steps.

" I am not hungry, Dad. And it was last night. I have always had my breakfast!" I said standing up from the chair.

" Oh. What is your plan today?"

" Nothing, Dad. Just crushing bed whole day long!"

" I... I see. So, What about we go to some Chinese restaurant and have some -"

" Don't beat around the bush, Dad. You know you can say whatever you wish to!"

I know they won't think I am someone important to say sorry for everything they did last night.

" Well, Your sister is going abroad for her wedding shopping with William. So I was thinking can you go and buy the tickets for her? I would have gone but I have to attend a meeting urgently!"

" Now?" I asked since it was the first time they told me to do something about buying.

" No. Tomorrow. It's urgent. Odette doesn't want to use our private jet... So!"

" Dad! I told you I have an interview tomorrow!"

That's right. The only reason I am here is to attend my sister's engagement. But I have to return to my apartment. This matter slipped my mind.

" Can't you just miss this one? Also, I said you can work in my company!"

" Enough! Dad. Don't you know how important that job is for me? You know I can't -"

" But your sister -"

" Stop!!!! STOP! What sister? I told you I have to attend the interview and it's important. How come it is less important than some damn tickets? She has Everyone. She has Mom, his fiance, you and your power. Can't you just arrange or buy it online? Why can't you give a little priority to my wishes?"

" Julie!!!! How selfish you are!!! Your sister is getting married. She just wished one thing and you are... I am disappointed!" My mother walked into my room, furious and disappointed.

" Selfish? I wish I never had someone like her as Sister and you all as my family. I hate you -"

A sharp slap across my face makes my world deafening. The anger I had in my head suddenly left, making me feel so empty and worthless of everything.

" Now I know you are a selfish spoiled kid. Your sister is getting married. She is leaving us. But you are here being so ungrateful for everything! Why are you so unsatisfied with us? Who lives in such a lavish lifestyle? Your drawers are filled with your favourite snacks, and your credit card is filled with money. You get whatever you want. Still, being so ungrateful? Go and see the world. Lots of people can't even afford to buy a meal. We are raising you. you should be grateful for this!"

That's right I should be grateful for everything. But have they ever asked if I wanted them or not?

They bought me dresses which I can't wear. With my body, it becomes harder to breathe when I wear those dresses.

" Leave it, honey! If you don't have time, then don't. Don't push yourself hard!"

My father pats my head before leaving. Still, they don't care about my interview. I know about it. But...

This time, the choice is mine. I can't give up on my dreams...

And...

I was wrong...

I got rejected before I could even get into the room to join my interview...

The next morning, when I walked into the office room to have my interview, one of the employees stopped me.

" Are you Miss? Juliette Anderson?" she asked me politely while glancing at the list of interviewees.

" Yes. I am."

" Hello, Sorry for informing you that, your name was mistakenly included in the list of passed candidates. Our Company will give you an explanation for this later. We sincerely apologize for this big mistake!"

Her words were so confusing that I couldn't understand what she was talking about. But I was standing still, realizing that... I am no longer going to attend the interview for my dream job. Being an office worker!

" But Miss. I have already passed the exam and I have the marksheet of my written exams. How could-"

" It's a mistake, okay? As I said our company will give you an explanation for this huge mistake. But for now, you may leave!"

What are they talking about? I know, I did well in the written exam. Why is this happening? How could a good company like them a mistake? Such a huge mistake?

My dream which I raised within me for years, has collapsed before it even started. I worked hard to get here. All of them became mistakes.

The weight increased on my shoulders as I walked out of the company, devastated. Why would this have to be happy with me? I thought I finally found happiness where I could live life as I wished to.

Anyway, I decided to walk around a little before heading back home.

Buying a hot dog, I walk by the lake near the bus station. The fresh air lifts the mood instantly.

However, as I sit on a bench to enjoy my food, the sound of camera clipping gets my attention. Raising my head, I look at the person who is standing with a camera.

" Mind If I take a picture of yours?"

He is not older than me, I can guess. Not older than William as well. Has clear skin, a beautiful smile and a remarkable appearance. However, what I hate most is taking pictures without permission. And he has already taken one without my permission.

" No. And It's not a good manner to take someone's picture without any prior notice!" I coldly speak ignoring his words that are ready to form out.

" But -"

I walk away.

But I never knew that we would cross our road one day...

    I stand before my family, like a guilty who is waiting for the announcement of the sentence. My parents or my grandparents stop talking to me. They didn't even look at me for once. The entire house which was decorated beautifully yesterday, now is agonized over my sister's death. I stand still as my heart is numb. I drove back home last night. Didn't have anything or did talk to anyone. William and His family requested my family to let them hold the funeral. So far, I got to learn, that Odette was kidnapped by some stalker who had been stalking her for two years. She did complain about it to the police but the man wasn't found. So they gave up. Last night when I sent the location to my mother, William immediately sent his people to search for her and found her headless, SA'ed body.

    " Mr. Anderson! Please try to understand that she doesn't match our family's taste. Also, Odette will live in our hearts forever as our only Daughter-in-law for William. So please reconsider the proposal!"I can hear my sister's In-laws snorting once my father invited them into our house. This time not as my sister's in-law but mine. I thought they knew about my sister's last wish. It seems like my sister left a message for Dad and Me. I pinch my hand, as I am standing on downstairs, wearing a pink gown. No, not because this dress is my favourite. But because my sister's favourite colour is pink. My mother sent the dress to wear." I understand. But I can't do anything. Mr. Fernandez. We have been friends for years. Our family is best friends as well. The thing is that my daughter, Odette wished to see her sister marry her fiancé before she was killed. She left her last wish!"My father's hopeless sigh and his weak shaky hand reach the table, placing the phone on it. " I want to sa

    I look at the reflection of mine. Wraps in white, the heavy makeup, the praiseworthy efforts to make my face thin and sharp to create a new different person. The wedding gown I am wearing is the exact wedding gown that my sister's Fiancé chose for him. And today morning, he sent an entire package of my sister's wedding list. From the jewellery to her wedding gown. And he ordered, I must have to wear it because this is an exact dress with a different body size. I look at my eyes. They're blue. My hairdresser turned my hair blonde same as my sister's. My sister has a star tattoo beneath her bottom collarbone. So I got one on my collarbone.I am just a body, taking the place of my sister as a replacement. I am walking towards the uncertainties with terror in my every vein. I don't find myself in the crowd.

Judging by his mood, he is in the worst mood ever.A mocking laughter escapes from my lips. To be honest, I don't know how to feel about everything. That shit happens too fast that I can't grasp the situation at all. But what exhausted me more was that William changed into the opposite individual that he used to be in front of my sister. They have been dating, I didn't know anything about it since we never shared a single information. I completed my graduation staying in the dorm with my bestie. While she had her apartment. So who she dated, who she didn't. I didn't know.I met him once in a seminar, he was a graduate at that time, a topper and our professor liked him. He was invited to a

    " She is pregnant!?" William carries Natalie in his arms and looks at Juliette who just put the shopping bags in the closets. " Yes. I was shocked first. No wonder she has been ignoring me!" She says. " Why would she ignore you for this? It's a good news!" " Sabrina is always like this. She avoids ruining other's happy moments even if she is in pain. Last time I remember, I was celebrating my birthday when she had a bad stomachache. Instead of telling any of us, she stayed silent and acted like nothing. And of course, at the end, we needed to send her to the hospital!" Juliette chuckles while shrugging. " She would rather burden herself later than ruining someone's special moment! She might have thought if she told us about her pregnancy, our attention would go to her entirely and everyone would ignore me!" William sits on the chair and pats Natalie's back who is sleeping.
