THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Chapter-10

"Ouch!" I said.
" Sorry...sorryy...your hair have too much tangles...you should brush your hair well before bed..!" mom said by brushing my hair.
I know my hair is so tangled or whatever pain it is..i like the way my mom do anything for me.
" Now it's time for curls!!" she shouted.
" You're gonna curl my hair??!!" i asked.
" Yeaa..big loose curls will be perfect for you..!! " she said.
" I feel weird without my hoodie cap!" i said myself.
" Did you say something?" she asked.
"Nop!" i said.
She started curling my hair. before that she did some makeup on my face..and didn't let me look at myself in the mirror.
" You have soft hair like me...even your grandma has the same texture of
Hair." she said.
I said nothing. i was playing with my front big curls which my mom just curled now. it was warm. i like the way it stood just like a wave in water.
" There you go!" she said.
" Now can i have a look at myself?" i asked.
" Nop! not until you put your dress on!" she said.
" Alright!!..." i said and went in to change.
It was a struggle putting the dress. i didn't want to mess up my hair plus my makeup cause it was done by my mom..she've put a lot of time in it.
Somehow i put my dress and got out.
" here i am..!" i said.
Mom smiled widely and closed her mouth with her hands.
" Oh..my god!! savvy..i'm soo lucky to have such a beautiful daughter". mom said.
I slowly walked in front of the mirror and looked at myself. For the first time i looked at my dress properly..it was a skin color sleeve less long gown with sparkling crystals in the middle.
it wasn't me..it was someone else. the girl i see in the mirror is beautiful, she looked like she was kind hearted and loves her family. she was different.
" It's not me..!" i said.
" It is sweetie..you're that beautiful girl that you see now in the mirror.!!" she said.
I didn't like this..and i'll never like this..who is she..i'm not even myself in front of the mirror.
" Whatever!!" i said and turned so that i won't see the reflection of that fake me anymore.
Mom still stood staring at me, smiling. Suddenly her face changed.
"Something's missing.." She said and opened the drawer, and took something.
" Savvy..turn..!!" she said hiding something in her hand.
" What's in your hand?!" i asked.
" Just turn..!" She said.
I turned facing the mirror again.
" Tell me you're not gonna describe about that girl in the mirror!" i said rolling my eyes.
She put something on my neck. it was a heart shaped locket chain. It was pretty. i felt so happy inside.
"Mom.." i said.
" This was gifted by your grandma to me..it made me feel special about myself..even in the most hardest situations in my life." She said smiling.
She turned me to her. " and now this suits you perfect than it suited me.."
I could see her whole happiness in her face. i couldn't even speak a word but stand watching her.
I sighed and said " mom..you don't have to do this all..i just wanted some hel-"
" Savvy..no one can do this for you except me..so please let me do this..!" she said.
I stared at her and sighed. I took my headphones and walked out of the room.

Mom dropped me at daisy's house. there i saw many bridesmaids.
Daisy was getting ready. she looked really beautiful. She looked at me smiling and walked to me raising her wedding dress with her hands so that she won't trip down.
She wore a white no-sleeve gown. a beautiful side bun and her dress was amazing!!
" Look at you...so beautiful.." she said.
I just gave a smiling look which seriously didn't look like a smile.
" You look good too.." i said.
" Ohh!" she looked at her self and said"thank you..." she smiled widely.

All the bridesmaid were more than twenty-five except me. i was the smallest one among them and the one and only teenager. it felt weird. and first of ALL!! i was really uncomfortable with my dressing..it was sleeveless and especially in an attractive look;makes people stare at me..and now i feel like a baby.
" C'mon get ready..it's time!" a well dressed lady came and said.
" Yes,mom!" daisy replied. " Let's go..." she said smiling.
The wedding planner was standing there arranging us in order. I was praying that i could stand at the back without anyone noticing...and gosh! she made me stand just behind the bride.

" Hey...i'll stand at the back..i'm not good at it.." I said to her.
" that's great..then this ll be a great experience for you.." she said.
" But see i'm-" she walked away.. "Well this a big bunch of crap!" i said myself.

As we moved we saw daisy's dad waiting there to walk down the aisle. She hugged her dad. She put her arms around his arms walking down the aisle. and we bridesmaids walking along with them. There were four of us..and my dress was a little bit different from them. they had a ribbon in the middle of the dress and i had crystals which shined in the sunlight.
The aisle was in the open park like place and was located near a pond making it natural. And sunlight was directed to the aisle. i barely opened my eyes as the sunlight was directed on my face.
As we walked i saw my dad standing with the priest. and besides him was a tall good looking guy and a small boy.
When we reached, dad took daisy's hand and kissed . then daisy stood facing him.
We, bridesmaids stood at the side. two of them on one side and me and the other lady on the other side where the good looking guy was standing. he was two feet a part from me. he looked at me and smiled. i was not interested to smile at a stranger. so i looked straight.
the most complicated thing was the sunlight.. which was now only directed to my side...i narrowed my eyes. i slowly raised my hand covering my face. suddenly the sunlight was covered. I was surprised and look to the side where i saw a handsome guy with hazel eyes standing near the small boy covering the sunlight.
