Finally, I reached out and rushed to the car that I saw the bride go in not long ago.
"Excuse me, please" I say to the people surrounding the car.Everybody turned to look at me."Didn't you just...""Forget it, just get in already" another person says.The first person who spoke was my school best friend, Gaia and she doesn't know that I have a twin.I bet she even thinks I'm the one getting married today.In fact, not everyone knows about that but that's a story to be told another time."Sister, you finally made it" she said with a wide smile on her face.If I didn't know better, I'd have said that they have changed my sister to an elegant and radiant angel."Why were you late though, I waited for you?" She asks.I gave her the you know why look."Anyways, I'm so happy today sister, really happy" she says.She lifts up her hand and showed me the now beautiful ring resting on her finger."Isn't it beautiful?" she asks.I just sat there, mouth agape.I've never seen something so flashy as this. It just look out of this world. It must have cost a fortune I bet."Here, try it on" she says, trying to pull it off but I remove it."No, it's yours" I stop her."But it's also yours, what's mine is yours, remember?" she says.Yeah, I clearly remember, I was the one who came up with the slogan.But not this time.I was feeling a little naughty so."Does that mean I can share your husband with you?" I ask, giving out that mischievous smile of mine."Uhmm..."She hesitated."If you'd like to" she says with a little bit of uncertainty in her voice."Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?" I decided to tease her more."No sister, really, how can I be jealous of you, you are me after all and I am you, so, it's no big deal" she says.Another slogan I came up with.I heaved out a long sigh."Relax there little bride, I was just pulling your leg, I'm sure he's not my type" I say.And I am a 100% sure he isn't."And what made you say so?" she asks but I chose to ignore her."You know, sometimes, I used to wish that he was a twin, then you could have married him" she says, excited."Yeah, as if" I rolled my eyes.Again with her fairy tale of us marrying twin and then we'll give birth to twin, how cliche."But seriously sister, who is your type of man?" she asks."None, that is" I answer.She knows very well that I hate men and anything that has to do with them.That one thing that we don't have in common. She was always thinking about how one day her prince charming would storm in and save her while I on the other hand, said that prince charming should go shove his charm in his ass.Guess we have all gotten what we wanted now."But where is the groom, he should be with us, right?" I ask."Uhmm... Actually, he'll be coming along with his family, you know..." She drifts off.What kind of a groom leaves his bride right after the wedding, that's awkward.She turned, facing me.Do you know this feeling that you are looking right at yourself, like in the mirror, well, more perfect than that but more prettier, well that's how I'm feeling right now.Me and my sister have the same features, starting from our bright emerald eyes, straight platinum shoulder length colored hair. Sometimes we both like to keep it curly but today, it's all tied up in a bun. Our heart shaped face, small pointed nose and those think lips are almost like they have been replicated in the process."What type of man do you want to spend the rest of your life with, you know you've got to get a man to support you someday" she says, looking all pouty.Zeph of all people should know why I hate men Men have brought nothing but distraction in our lives. Like when mom's husband left her for another woman and when that little twit she called a son tried to force himself on us.Gosh! Why am I thinking about the past took much today.It's a happy occasion, so I shouldn't waste it on them."You know what, I've got great news for you" I say, changing the topic.She smiled brightly, exposing her evenly aligned white teeth."We have passed the entrance exams, now your dream has come true, you will become an engineer soon" I say happily.She just gave me a weak smile, like she wasn't all excited about the news as I was.What's going on with her now?.But before I could get a chance to ask, the driver spoke."We have arrived ma'am" he says through the speaker.Did I mention we are driving in a limousine.We both walk into the room together, well, technically, I got I first and then she followed me."Oh my goodness! I can't believe it, it's true" Gaia gasps as soon as we walked in.She walks over to my sister."Zeph, I can't believe you never told me you were twins, I mean" she looked from both me and my sister.My sister just gave her a look of confusion."Over here" I say."Oh sorry" she apologizes to my sister and walks over to me."No worries, we get that alot" my sister says, smiling at her."For a minute there, I heard you were getting married and you didn't bother inviting me, I was like, this bitch got some nerve but now it's all cleared up" Gaia says.She is my best friend from school. Yeah, school. That was the main reason I didn't tell her about our existence.The girl stood so elegant in her mini dress and a crop top. She didn't look like someone who was ready for a wedding.She stood 5'3" with her sexy, to die for body. She also has a ring nose. Yes, a ring nose. She is th
"What are you talking about?" she asks, confused.Well, that's not the time to be confused."What were the conditions that's Abramo's mother set for you before the wedding?" I asked again.I feel like I am filling over with rage now, all over.She was silent for a while and then I looked over at Nevaeh but she just looked away."Will one of you please tell me what's going on, you guys have me all worried sick" I saw again.But they were not ready to speak."Look, I swear of you don't start speaking, I will throw a tantrum that each and every one of the guest out there will have to be present here and then maybe you might be inclined to speak then" I threaten.Well, I'm just bluffing but if, well let's not just get to that."Alright, alright, I'll tell you" mom speaks up.See, always works all the time."You might want to sit down for this one" she says.I nodded and this as she told me and then she sat down besides me."Look dear, I want you to know that making that decision wasn't ea
Well, I just stood there, unable to move my feet.It's like I'm stuck in a time Warp or something.What have these two went ahead and did this time around?.Have they realized that they have sold the dignity of our family just to get their daughter married?.How could they do this and that too without informing me."Heaven" our mother calls out my name, cutting me off from my time frenzy.She only calls us by our real name when she needs to talk business.She walks over to me and places her hand on my shoulder. That act of hers seems to have brought back the activities my muscles and skeleton are supposed to do.I pushed her hand away and head out the door."What are you going to do now?" she asks.Isn't it obvious what I'm gonna do."I'm going to call of this wedding" I still decided to answer her.I turn around and start heading back to the hall but someone pulled me back into the room.I turned around in anger only to see that it's Nevaeh who did so."Please, you can't call of this
Our flight landed in Paris at about seven P.M. in the evening and everyone was pretty tired.The conversation was cut short and I'm sure they'll be no next time to continue but what they said to me kept on pondering in my mind.What do I need in life?.What is my dream?.To be precise, I don't know because I have never thought that I day like this would come so soon.But they are right though, I should start thinking about my future too.There were three limousine parked outside for us.What's with these people and limousine, they seem to be obsessed with the car.More than half of our family members and neighbors have decided to follow, even Gaia and Baia.They kept on saying it's for farewell but I know better.So, here we are, along with some of the groom's family and no idea where we are headed to.I'm not sure the cars will even contain us."This car in the front, is for the bride and her mother and her friends" one woman announces.Seriously, her friends?.What about her sister?
I woke up, feeling all refreshed.It's been a long time, ok, I've never slept in a bed as comfortable as this one ever in my life, I mean, it's so comfy.Ok, so let's go back to when we arrived here yesterday.Well, not much happened actually as it was a little bit dark but still, Gaia still tried to take some selfies with every couch in the living room.There are actually three sets of couch in that living room and each, having it's own unique style and and decorations.I can't even imagine how big this place must be if just the living room is housing such big and surely expensive couches.I mean, I was even afraid to sit on one of them so I won't stain then with my poverty.Ok, let's get back to what happened yesterday, yeah.After about thirty minutes or so, the rest of our family and friends arrived.They were all in awe when they saw the place, utterly awed.None of us has actually seen a place this beautiful in our lives.They all kept praising Neveah fir landing such a jackpot
I suddenly felt conscious of myself in that place.What if they are all watching us. Worst, spying on us.I too also felt silly for thinking that because come to think of it, we are not some important figures to be spied on.But thinking back to all those conditions that the groom's family had to lay on mine,I felt that it might be a possibility.But what would be their purpose of doing so, my little brain could not comprehend.So, I decided to just shun the suspicion out as they are family now of some sort."Come on, get in" Gaia calls on to me once again.I looked all over again and still see the statue like humans and all with a gun."Nah, I think I'll pass" I say and turn and walk right back into the house.There's no way I'm stripping off in front of those loonies and risk them checking me out.Not that I have the most gorgeous body anyways but it's still mine, isn't it?.I decided to just sit on the couch once again and get some rest.I was afraid that if I go back into the room
Finally now the time of the party has neared and I will be attending, yes, that's for sure.I am not going to allow her to stress herself again. That's the least I could do for her since she has insisted that I live with mother, instead of her.Well, that brings me back to the conversation we had earlier.After she suddenly declared that my dream being fulfilled is now her biggest dream, I was shocked. She has put me in a tight position by saying that and it's not a thing that I still want to think about either, at least until everything about this wedding is over and all the adrenaline in my head is piped down.So, I did what I do best whenever I don't want to argue with someone, I changed the topic, period.I did that by showing her the necklace that her mother inlaw's friend has gotten for her. She was really mesmerized by the design as well and I mean, who wouldn't.I also mentioned the party to her and could you believe that she tried to tell me that she would be going.I was qui
What the hell what that?.I didn't look to see which wall I have actually hit but instead, I tried to get the pieces of my phone back.I inspected the phone only to see that it was broken, way beyond repair.Oh Lord! I've spent a fortune to buy this phone and I've had it for a long time now.How am I gonna get money to buy a new one?.My attention was brought back by the crowd when I heard them gasping.I look straight to me and I was met by a pair of legs. Thick and huge ones. I was sure they would have been covered in muscles if not the them being covered by a pair of trousers.At first, I thought the person was kind enough to help me out when I hit the wall but then, he didn't help me out instead, he didn't even move an inch, he stood just like a statue.I didn't want to embarrass myself any further, so I dropped my extended hand and picked myself up.I straightened my dress out and moved the hair that was covering my face. My ribbon has also fell away when I fell back.Gosh! This
