Twenty-two-year-old Athena Paulsen's life is a never-ending tragedy, but on the surface everything seems fine. A fine daughter, dependable sister, successful entrepreneur and renowned doctor. She is the envy of the town. But if you pull the curtain...
"Are you happy?" I asked while putting veil on her head. I really don't know why I am asking this question. It won't change anything. Maybe because I can't see the happiness and spark in her eyes that I saw when she got married to Lance.
"yea..." she replied with a small smile on her face. I nodded my head.
"how much do you love Andrew?" she asked. I was taken aback by her question.
"Why are you asking this question?" I asked
" just curious" she replied. I really don't know what to reply. But I need to say something.
"don't know. I never measured my love for him" I replied.
"if you love him so much than why didn't you fought for him" she asked
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked. She turned her chair towards me and said
"Athena when we usually love something or someone we don't let that person go easily. We fight till are last breath." "Amelia we fight for those things that belongs to us. Did you forgot all the morals and principles that Mom taught to us" I said. I can see tears in her eyes. Our mother is always a sad topic for us.
"Amelia I can't fight for Andrew because he isn't mine on the first place. He always loved you" I said
"You can't or don't want to fight" she asked
"what do you mean?" I asked
"one day you will understand everything but that day isn't today" she said while directly looking into my eyes. Before I could I ask what she meant by it, the door of the room was pushed open and Mom walked inside. She had a smile on her face and said "you are looking so beautiful my sweetheart" that's true Amelia is looking like an angel in her white full sleeves wedding gown
" Athena you also get ready very less time is left" she said. I nodded my head in yes and walked out of the room. I walked the next room to get ready. My bridesmaids dress is already kept on the bed. It's a beautiful violet color cold shoulder gown.
I decided to freshen up before I get ready, I used aloe vera face wash to clean face. After using the face wash was glowing a bit but there was no spark in my eyes.
I wore my dress and applied some simple make up. I didn't need a make up artist or hair dresser to get ready. I wore matching accessories. I side braided my hair. All the bridesmaid dresses are same in pattern just different in color.

I walked inside the main church hall where the wedding will take place. It was Amelia decision to have a simple wedding in the church. I sat down beside Lance in the first row. Andrew is standing in the altar patiently waiting my Amelia. Logically I should come with Amelia since I am her bridesmaid. But I decided not to take part in it.
