.... Samaira....

The whole week I would occasionally get calls from Aara asking me to come over and telling me the progess but I wouldn't budge.

Only two days were left for the marriage, tomorrow was the cocktail night whereas day after tomorrow was the wedding. I checked up on my tickets as I woke Jeena up.

"Baby let's go, we have our flight."

"Phive minutes Mommy." I smiled at her and went back to the kitchen and made some pancakes for my little girl. She came down rubbing her eyes. She was about to eat when I stopped her and raised my eyebrows at her.

"I did brush Mommy." she said while showing me her pearl white teeth. I let her have her breakfast and laid out her dress for the flight.

Yes I was planning to go to Paris. Scratch that I was going to Paris.

I bathed my angel and dressed her in a yellow sun dress and white shoes while tying her mid back hair into a side braid.

We reached the Airport in about an hour and Paris by the evening.

I had called for a cab which was luckily waiting for me outside the Airport.I had booked us a room in one of the restaurant. I planned to surprise my sister directly at the cocktail party.

---Next day evening---

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and decided that I looked fine. I was dressed in a black strapless sweetheart neckline dress. It fit me upto my waist and then it flared uptil my knees. It was one of my friends creation. I gave my eyes a steely Smokey look and paired the dress with silver stilettos. I applied some dark red lipstick and a bit of ruse. I had curled my hair and then tied them in a bun on my left shoulder and added a big silver flower to the bun. Whereas I dressed Jenna in a purple princess dress and left her hair open, I was always against make up for her.  She looked innocent yet adorable. I had hired a car here for a few days. Besides my family I was also excited to see my friends.

Andy was now a judge, while Cam took up choreography. Alia was one of my models and Zayn switched to Photography.

I took my eager daughter and drove to the venue. The party was in full swing and I was fashionably late. As I like. Jeena saw my dad at the gate so she left my hand ran towards him. When my dad saw her he knelt down to her level and quickly scanned the area for me, when he saw me a phase of relief washed all over his face.

As I made my way upto him he smiled at me and hugged me tight. Leaving Jeena to her nana I went ahead to see my sister. I asked my dad about her where about and made my way to her room.As expected she was yet getting ready.

"Kill me if I find you dressed up on time once." I said as I entered the room and enjoyed her reaction. She leapt and hugged me. I could see the joy on her face and that made her eyes shine brighter. I told the make up artist to leave and dressed her up.

As we were almost done, she asked.

"Where is my little Princess?"

"Down with Dad, and now probably with everyone in the hall."

Laughing we walked down and entered the huge decorated hall. Jeena was now with my friends, who when saw me rushed towards me. I met everyone and the party was going good when I realized I hadn't seen Jeena. I quickly scanned the area and found her talking the ear off a man that decided to come up to her level and chatter with her.

"Jeena" I called her.

"Mommy" She screamed and ran towards me. She took my hand and literally dragged me to the man she was talking a while ago.

"Mommy, thish is my friend Zachary."

"Zach, this is my Mom." and the man turned while I just closed my eyes and repeated, Please don't be him. Please don't be him. But talk about bad luck. It was the great Zachary Herrington. I was about to turn when Eric called out for me and I saw Eric and Aara coming over. He introduced me to Zachary as one of his business partner which I knew but what I didn't was that he was the best man.

A while later Aara came upto me. Jeena had left with mom and dad a while ago.

"What's wrong Sam, you look pale."

I gave her a are-you-kidding-me look.

"What?" She asked.

My sister is as perspective as a rock.

"Seriously Aara, Zachary-Zach, don't you get the Maths."

I half-shouted.

"Ohh Shit. I am so sorry " , she cursed.

Spoiling my sister's mood was the last thing I wanted to do so I just told her to let it go.

I just had to see him only once more, right?.
