As we entered the dinning room, I could see my dad having some serious conversation with my mom whereas my brother was talking to someone on phone, probably Madison. My mom noticed us approaching and gave us a smile.
" Come dear. We have been waiting for you both. Please sit down. "
" And who are these beautiful ladies ? " My dad asked.
' He better be joking, can't he recognise his own daughter? '
" Hello Mr Richard, Myself Natalie Paige and This is my friend Ziva Hastings. We are the wedding planners for your son's wedding. " Natalie said with a smile.
" Oh.. I was expecting someone with more experience. You both look so young. Can you handle this ?? "
' Does he even remember you?? " My inner voice asked me. How could he forget me ? We both met each other 2weeks back when he came to Sydney for a meeting. Can't he atleast give me a smile .
' This is what you want right? To get treated as a stranger in your own home '
Yes but it hurts.
I kept quiet, while Natalie was the one who spoke on behalf of me. " Yes sir, we will do our best to make this wedding a memorable one. We won't let you down sir. " He just gave a nod and started to eat again.
I kept quiet for the whole brunch whereas my parents were speaking something in Spanish between themselves. It hurts, I stood from my seat and said politely
" Thank you Tanya for this food . I'm done. I'll take some rest sometime and will meet Ms Carter in the evening. "
" It's ok dear. Take rest. You look exhausted. "
I turned my attention to my dad and whispered " Estoy feliz de verte papi. Te extrañé mucho " ( I'm happy to see you daddy. I missed you a lot )
" También te extrañé niña " my father said with a smile. ( Missed you too kiddo )
In the Evening...
I heard a knock on my door.
" Natalie if that's you please come inside" Who else would it be other than her. Natalie came inside and looked around.
" Nice room, it feels so homely. Right Ziv?? " She asked me while I just nodded.
" You look good . Going somewhere?? " I asked her.
" Actually yes. I Googled and found a nice cafe near by . So thought may be we could go there and ask Madison to meet us there "
' cafe huh? Why not ?? Staying in bed makes me feel even more tired '
" Sure. Let me inform her and get ready "
It was 5 in the evening. I informed Madison to meet us there by 6:00pm. I told Natalie to wait for me so that I can dress up and get ready .
I took shower and dressed like this

" Can we leave?? It's already 6 and we will be late. " Natalie said.
" Yeah sure. What's the name of the cafe?"
" It's called ' Cafe Milano ' , Ziv I think you will love this place. "
' Milano , Is she talking about the cafe we used to hang out once upon a time. '
Yup. She is and I agree with her. Cafe Milano was quite famous one in our locality. Sarah , Xander and Myself, we used to go there a lot after school. Sarah loves french cafe.
" Yeah, how do we reach there?? By car or by walk "
' By walk ,you know that very well idiot.'
" By walk Ziv, it's just 10 minutes from here"
" Ok I'll send the location to Madison "
After a while, we came down.
" Hey going out somewhere?? " I heard my brother's voice from living room.
" Yeah Mr William, To cafe Milano. Madison will be coming there to meet us"
" First, call me William or will and Secondly Milano huh?? " He gave me a concerned look.
" Yes William, Natalie suggested the place"
" Alright then go ahead and if you girls need a ride back just give a call. I'll send Peter "
We both nodded and left the place.
In cafe..
Once i opened the doors of the cafe , fresh aroma of coffee hit me.
Cafe had a signature wall with customer's signature on it. It even had ours.
' God I missed this smell along with the memories '
"Look it's Madison. Shit we are late for the meeting " Natalie said breaking my thoughts.
" Calm down Nate, let's go and meet her " I said as we approached her.
" Hey how you doing? My name is Ziva and This is Natalie. We are your wedding planners. "
" Hey . I'm good and How are you both. Is your stay comfortable?? "
' wow, atleast she follows your crazy stranger rules '
" Yeah . So let's get to business. Shall we ?? "
We ordered our coffees and after discussing few details about the venue and her preferences in themes for the wedding we closed the meeting.
" So when is Danica reaching here?? " Maddy asked me while sipping her coffee.
" She face timed me earlier . Probably by Wednesday she will be here. "
" Ok it's then settled. We are having a girls night out on Friday. We are hitting a club " Madison said with excitement.
Before Natalie could say anything I just accepted it. Natalie gave me a death glare which obviously I ignored.
After that horrible night, Clubbing is something I avoided for years. Jaden ,Riley and Natalie know very well about my panic attack which happened in a club. From that on we usually party at home rather than going for clubs.
' clubbing- what could go wrong '
