Zayn had picked a nice orchestra band from somewhere the city and everything looked like it was perfect except the two young soon to be married couples that still wouldn't speak to each other. When father told me Zayn had picked an orchestra band I was both angry and disappointed ,this was the sort of things he was supposed to do with me and though a part of me didn't mind him going to and fro making everything possible for the wedding to be a success I did appreciated it but was a bit jealous. Ever since the last time I and Zayn bumped into each other we've hardly said a word to each other apart from mumbled greetings the dance practises were long and boring and the rehearsal dinner was worse.

My cousin walked in with two glasses filled with Champagne. "Wow , Jean you ...you look so beautiful " she commented. "Yeah , I know " I replied her as I checked myself again in the mirror, that bit of happiness burying the shadow of darkness I was feeling at that moment. " Are you fine Jean?

    The rest of the days went by quickly and though Zayn was mostly away doing this or that I paid little or no attention except when we ate at local restaurants and said few words to each other or when he wanted things done . As much as I wanted his touch I couldn't bring my self to ask and since we were both engulfed in pride no one did. I would had gotten bored at a point but since I was making friends with the local and could speak a bit , I had no problem. Most times I was away making beads with my little friends or laying by the sea side . I was at the shore that evening when Zayn came back quite earlier than usual. My little friend pointed toward the direction of the cabin and when I looked back I saw Zayn standing akimbo and looking in our direction while trying to force a smile.
