A NEW DAY HAD BEGUN. THAT DAY, I WAS RESTLESS. MY WEDDING WAS ABOUT TO COMMENCE WITHIN 24 HOURS. I NEVER KNEW NICHOLAS AND WAS ABOUT TO GET MARRIED TO HIM. I FELT AS IF A GHOST HAD HAUNTED ME. I WANTED TO CRY BUT I COULDN' T. THE FEAR OF 'WHAT WOULD OTHERS THINK' STOPPED ME. THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR. SOME WOMEN CAME INTO THE ROOM. THEY WERE THE MAIDS WHO HAD COME TO HELP ME TO DRESS UP FOR THE WEDDING. AFTER 6 - 7 HOURS, MY DRESSING, MAKE - UP AND EVERYTHING WAS DONE. THE MAIDS LEFT THE ROOM. I SAT IN FRONT OF THE DRESSING TABLE, STARING AT MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR. I WAS WEARING A BEAUTIFUL WHITE - COLOURED WESTERN GOWN. MY HAIR HAD BEEN TURNED INTO SOFT CURLS AND LEFT OPEN. I WORE A GOLDEN TIARA. A VEIL HAD BEEN PLACED OVER MY HEAD TO COVER MY FACE, ALTHOUGH ANYONE COULD LOOK AT ME AND MAKE - OUT HOW I LOOKED (IT WAS MADE OF TRANSPARENT CLOTH). I WORE HEELS AND TWO GLASS BANGLES ON BOTH MY WRISTS. I WAITED IN SILENCE FOR THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE WHICH WAS YET TO COME.
***********************************************************************************************
IT WAS TIME FOR THE WEDDING RITUALS TO BEGIN. I WALKED INTO THE CHURCH, HOLDING MY FATHER' S HAND. A RED CARPET HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FLOOR. THE CHURCH HAD BEEN DECORATED WITH ORCHIDS. EVERYONE LOOKED AT ME AS I WALKED TOWARDS MY TO - BE HUSBAND. HE WAS WEARING A LIGHT BLUE TUXEDO. HE DIDN' T EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT ME AS I NEARED HIM. NICHOLAS TOOK MY HANDS IN HIS AND WE BOTH WALKED TOWARDS THE PRIEST. THE PRIEST WELCOMED US. HE BEGAN THE PRAYER. HE READ THE BIBLE. WE LIGHTED THE CANDLE. WE TOOK THE VOWS AND EXCHANGED RINGS.
NICHOLAS LIFTED THE VEIL THAT I WAS WEARING AND WE BOTH KISSED. ALL THE RITUALS WERE COMPLETED AND THE PRIEST PRONOUNCED US HUSBAND AND WIFE. ALL THE GUESTS BURST INTO AN APPLAUSE. HE STILL WASN' T CONVINCED THAT WE WERE MARRIED. MANY GUESTS CAME AND CONGRATULATED US. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SPEEDING TOWARDS A HOTEL. WE GOT OUT FROM THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE THE HOTEL.
WE WERE SHOWN OUR ROOM. I TOOK A SHOWER AFTER HIM AND WE CHANGED OUR CLOTHES, HAD FOOD AND TOOK OUR SEAT IN THE CAR. THE CAR STOPPED AT THE AIRPORT. WE BOTH GOT OF THE CAR, GOT OUR LUGGAGE CHECKED AND BOARDED HIS PRIVATE PLANE. IT WOULD TAKE US TO LONDON, THE PLACE WHERE NICHOLAS LIVED WITH HIS PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. WE BOTH TOOK OUR SEATS AND IN A FEW MINUTES THE FLIGHT TOOK OF. NICHOLAS TOOK OUT A BOOK AND BEGAN READING. I STARED OUT OF THE SMALL WINDOW.
THERE WAS NOTHING TO LOOK AT EXCEPT CLOUDS. DURING THE FLIGHT, I FREQUENTLY GLANCED AT NICHOLAS. WHOEVER SAID THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT - HE WAS TRULY HANDSOME, ALTHOUGH I COULDN' T JUDGE HIM JUST BY HIS LOOKS. NICHOLAS WAS ABSORBED IN READING HIS BOOK. THEREFORE, HE DIDN' T NOTICE ANYTHING.
I FELT THE NEED TO HOLD HIS HANDS BUT I KNEW ABOUT HIS ANGER. HE WOULDN' T LIKE IT. I CONTINUED LOOKING AT THE FLUFFY CLOUDS.
