Expected Love

Life Sucks

It's frustrating, so bloody frustrating. Not only both these girls sat at the back seat making me look like a driver, but as soon as we entered the store they ignored me as if I was invisible.

Lia modelled wearing different gowns and sought suggestions from Saba and to top it all they video called that Lamb for finalizing the dress.

Ugh! This is not how I had thought the whole thing would turn out. I wanted to help her select the dress, something of my liking. It would have given us a chance to talk and bond like before.

That's what she doesn't want you idiot, my subconscious mind mocked me.

But I am not backing out now. I will keep imposing myself on her and make her remember the love for me that she has buried in the furthest corner of her heart.

So, it was always like someone was there with us, when we went for cake selection or when we went to meet different hotels for food arrangements. My days were turning up, soon bro will be back from his honeymoon and will start questioning my involvement in Lia planning as he had clearly told me to say out of it. God, why things are so difficult, why can't they understand me, why I was such an idiot to give away my relationship with Lia, why had I created space between us to fit in the third person. WHY?

I knocked on her door and waited for Saba to open the door like the other days. She would give me a death glare before letting me in. They were tolerating me because Lia was under the assumption that Viktor had asked me to do all the planing. I dread the day when she will know he had asked Sofia to do all the work. I hope Sofia never tells Lia anything about it.

"Richard?" I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't see the door opening, and the very last person I wanted was in front of me.

"Sofia? What are you doing here?" I was on the verge of loosing it. Terrified even.

"I came to meet Lia and discuss about the wedding..."she opened the door wider for me to get in.

"Weren't you supposed to be at the meeting with Walters?" I asked in an annoyed tone which made her brows to go up.

"Yaaa...but I sent Lee for the meeting..." She tried to justify.

"With whose permission?" I raised my voice a bit. She flinched at it and at the same time Lia came out from her bedroom.

"I thought it was just the formal tender filling so Lee would be able to handle it..."

"So now you will decide what's important for you to be present there or not?" I glared at her.

"No...No ...I....I am sorry" she had tears in her eyes which she tried best not to spill.

Oh, god, what am I doing? Why am I behaving like a bitch to her. Come on Richie, she is family. Rashid's wife. How...idiot, you are an idiot, the biggest one.

"Sofia...I am..." I rubbed my temples with my hands.

"No Richard, you are right I should know my place. I apologize. It won't happen again." She sniffed. She didn't even look at me all the time she had her head held low, she went out saying that.

Fcuk Fcuk Fcuk!

"What was that?" Lia chided with her hand on her hips.

"I..... don't know!" I slumped in the couch, frustrated with myself.

"Seriously? Was it needed?" She hollered, still facing me.

"No...it wasn't" I hid my face in my hands.

"You need to apologize don't you think because I had called her here. She was not ready to come, but I insisted too much." She explained making me regret harder.

"Yes, I will talk to her later." I mumbled.

"You are excelling in ruining your relations" Lia scoffed. She was so true. I was getting all my relations hampered in attempt to make a new one with Lia.

"I have called few wedding planners to discuss and appoint one..." I got to the topic for which I was here in first place.

"We will do that tomorrow. I am too tired now. Please leave." Lia waved me off, dismissing the topic.

"Lia..." I groaned.

"Please, Richard..."she turned to look at the door with his hands folded in front. I stood up from the couch and pressed my lips on her hair.

"Ok. Goodnight love." I wished her and left.

I called both the wedding planners and asked them to come tomorrow.
Viktor is coming day after tomorrow. I just have one day. ONE. DAY. I hope this day would be in my favor, not like gloomy sky above me.

Next day after work, I went directly to Lia's place with huge tub of chocolate ice cream to make her happy.

But I should never forget that fate is not on my side how much ever I tried to dress nicely or act promptly, it was never enough because almighty god was adamant on punishing me.
As today again the door was opened by the last person I wanted to be there.

Life just sucks
