The God's plan

Chapter 7 - Wish

Maya :

The soft rays of the dazzling sunlight entered the pastel painted room escaping the boundaries of the frilly white curtains on the window.
It was as if even the sun wanted to greet Maya. As soon as the sunlight fell on her face, she groaned .

"Ughhhh........."

" Maya,get up , look at the time, oh my ! The sun is already out and shining .Get up and get ready,Maya.
Are you listening? Maya! ............ MAYA! "

" Ohhhh , i get it~"
Maya said while sitting up . There is no way she would hear her mother's voice and not give a damn.
Ignoring her call meant death and Maya was too young to die.

" Well ,my dear mother; after all the work i did for you until late night yesterday, couldn't you be a little more considerate?
Like letting me sleep a while? If you are feeling bad for waking me up now, no worries cause i was just about to go back to my business."
Maya told her mother. Sleep is however also important to her.

"Business?"

"Yeah , Sleeping~"
Maya sang as she got in the covers again.

Suddenly she felt a sharp tug on her ear.her mother was pinching her ear and woke her up like that.

" Owwww, owww , it hurts , ma , it hurts "
Maya cried out as rose from the sheets

" You naughty and lazy girl !
Seriously, look at your older sister.
Maya's mother Elma retorted angrily.

" My daughter Bella is so diligent.
She wakes up at 6:00 am sharp just to help me with household things! Never says no whenever i tell her to do something. Moreover she is so honest, pretty, and smart. My heart feels so satisfied when I look at her now. Oh how my baby has grown so much! "
Elma said in an almost emotional tone .

" Wait, aren't you like completely deviating from the point here, ma?
Moreover that goody two shoes wasn't even there last night with us to help arrange her own wedding dress? She didn't even help with the invitations!
And all you said is true but i am a bit unsure about" honest " part "

Maya told her mom in a rather annoyed manner . Which she of course should be . One should at least be greeted with a 'Thanks' after all the work she put into the arrangements last night. If she wasn't here , Maya knew just the place where she would be.

" What? Maya ! Do you expect a bride- to- be to work ? No no , Bella's gotta look clean and pretty on her wedding day. And knowing her , if i agree to let her help , she'll most probably end up doing all the work herself."
Elma told Maya .Her tone was now sort of calm .

" Now enough chit-chatting .
Go get ready and help your sister at the riverbank !"
Elma ordered Maya .

" Yes ! I knew it ! So it was the riverbank after all."
Maya stupidly smiled and exclaimed.

" What? "

" Nothing! Oh, and anything else ?"

" Ah! Yes , after meeting up with Bella , you guys please go to the town . Your uncle Lan and aunt Jay live there. They have helped us so much through the years .
We figured it'd be better if you go there personally and give the invitation. They'll bless you both too."
Elma told while smiling

" What? The town ? Ma ! You know how far it is right? It'll take half a day to reach there from here in the suburbs."
Maya could not believe what her mother just said .she was being sent to the town that approximately takes 4 hours to reach

" Don't exaggerate ! It is hardly 120 kms . Now get freshened up and don't waste time., C'mon, get up ."
Elma said as she tried to push the utterly dejected Maya off the bed .

A.N:
( Let's just pretend that travelling 120 kms in 4 hours made sense because i suck at math and btw , they are using a carriage hehe )

After having a bath and getting ready , Maya stood in front of the mirror.
She let her long black hair fall down like a cascade.it created a beautiful ripple.
Her honey brown eyes shining in delight after seeing her smooth hair

Maya was a rather pretty girl with pale skin , black hair that went up to her thighs , naturally pink lips and cute dimples.
Though she was confident in herself, her hair was her most favourite part of herself.
Sure,she wasn't as pretty as Bella but she definitely took pride in her own charms .

After getting ready while wearing a simple purple dress , she headed out to have breakfast.

" Say, ma ; why do i have to accompany Bella? Can't the bride go there herself? "

" Tsk tsk , Maya ! Understand that you are the bride's little sister - her bridesmaid . Moreover , you ll also be getting married in a few years, then you will also have a bridesmaid following you "
Maya's dad Adam consoled her quite calmly.

" Hmm, okay "
Maya somehow didn't like the idea of getting married.
In her 21 years of life , it had never occurred to her.
Love wasn't something that she'll ever experience anyway so in the end it was all pointless .

After breakfast, she headed out to the riverbank to meet her ' honest ' sister.

" Honey , i am really worried about Maya and Bella , would it be okay to send them to town at this time ?
The town has reports of so many abduction and assaults too"
Elma expressed her concern for her daughters to her husband

" That part concerns me too dear, however , we have protected and trained them so long . Should not we be confident in our parenting?
And the fact that they're my daughters makes it even better.
I am sure they will be able to fight off any obstacle that comes their way ."
Adam replied to Elma in a somewhat proud manner .

Just seeing her children happy and successful was her only wish .Elma was so happy to have her daughter Bella get married , but parting ways with her children caused a different kind of nervousness.
She just wished that everything in her children's life went well .May they never experience sadness or grief .She was ready to take all their burdens on herself.
It was a wish only a mother could make .
