Richard and Giulia had always been together, right from their 5 years old selves met for the first time. They were stuck together through orphanage, school, and college. Through every hardship and through every celebration, being each other's suppor...
Why does it feel so bad? So, hurtful? She was so eager to throw me out of her house. She was giving me a calculated look, as if adding and subtracting to reach a conclusion for my behavior. Do I tell her that I love her and to give me a chance? She will smash my head to the nearest wall.
Don't think of that Richard, be man and take all the hurt and insults that she throws at you graceful because you deserve it. You deserve each and every harsh word for being a dick, for hurting her in the past, and for disappointing her.
After that pep talk, I slept dreaming about our future together.
Next morning after getting fresh wearing gray T-shirt and jeans, trying my best to impress her. I went to a coffee shop and bought her favorite breakfast. It was a bit early, and she won't appreciate waking her up, but I was eager to have a look at her. Last night when I kissed her cheeks, she was so shocked. I laughed remembering her face.
I knocked on the door multiple times to wake her up. She is not a morning person and won't be happy with me for disturbing her beauty sleep.
The door opened with a jolt and there she was in her short pajama pants and spaghetti top, her hair disheveled, her eyes squinting and her lips ready to curse. When she realized it's me at the door, she did curse.
"What the fcuk are you doing here at this time?" She fumed.
"Good morning to you too sweetheart" I brushed past her and entered the house. I placed the breakfast on the coffee table, bless those early opening cafes and turned around to find her mouth agape with shock.
"I brought breakfast for you, now freshen up fast, we need to leave soon. I have booked an appointment with Veiena for 9am." Veiena is one of the best wedding dress designer. I rubbed my hands together and started opening the boxes. Truly speaking I was trembling inside not knowing when she will start shouting at me, but instead she closed the door with the bang and stormed inside. I sighed, releasing my breath, which I was holding in anticipation. That was close. A small smile graced my lips.
By the time she came outside, it was 8am already. I was bored playing games on mobile, and must have huffed numerous times. I was tempted to go in and check on her, but hold myself back. Breakfast and coffee that I brought along had turned cold.
When she stood in front of me with both her hand in her black pants which she had teamed with a golden shirt, I knew she is again analyzing my behavior. She is punishing me, testing my patience, but I won't give up my love. I am ready to do anything, endure everything because I just have 2 months.

She sat on the single-seater couch chair next to me and stared at me, then she shifted her glance at the breakfast on the table.
"Tsk tsk your breakfast got wasted. I am so sorry" she said, not being sorry at all.
I nodded and pressed my lips in a thin line.
"No problem we will grab something on the way" I stood up from the couch ready to leave, then again she had no such intentions. She didn't budge from her seat. Sighing, I sat down again.
"What is your deal?" She scrutinized her eyes at me.
"What deal?" I know what she wants to know, but I play the dumb guy.
"Why are you helping me with my wedding?" She raised her brows at me. Her eyes challenging me to lie. There, the question is out in the day. The question that was bothering her since tomorrow, perhaps.
"Viktor asked m.." I go with my safe answer, but she cuts me in between.
"I don't understand why he asked you of all the person." She looks at the floor, shaking her head.
"I am just trying to help." Ya Richard, you are so damn innocent, just helping the love of your life to get married to someone else.
"I don't trust you." She gritted, I just stared at her. That hurts.
"If I ever find anything funny in all this, I will destroy you." She warned me. Like anything is left to be destroyed."
"Can we leave now?" I gulped and stood up again to leave.
"Not yet." She stated and turned her focus on her nails.
After sitting in silence for more five minutes, there was a knock at the door. Who is there now? Lia got up to open the door as if she was waiting for them. She opened the door.
"Thanks for coming in such short notice." She hugged the girl who was at the door and both of them moved out. Does she remember that I am still here? I ran towards the door, dreading she might lock me in here. By the time I reached the elevator, the door was already closing and both the girls waved at me with a mock smile.
Oh my goodness, what have I got myself into. I stood there, taking a deep breath with my head pressed to the wall.
God save me.
