Hope's Love

Chapter Nineteen : Beautiful Days

Hope's POV

1 Week Later

I was out shopping with Arielle and Alissa, our close friend. We were in the mall shopping as my brother Arjun bhai was getting married in a month. He is having an arranged marriage with a girl called Meera.

She is a beautiful, innocent and smart girl. Arjun bhai was not happy that he is getting married but he can not say no to parents. Meera is from
India, she was brought up and raised in Surat, Gujarat as the youngest of the 4 siblings.

She is aunt Kaira's business partner's daughter. We all are to go to India and get Arjun bhai married in all Indian tradition. My dream was also to get married to Adrian in our tradition but whatever.

"See this? Is this okay?" Arielle says as the sales lady pulls out the heels from the counter.
I nod and say, " They are black, and your lehenga is peach. So get something in nude or atleast baby pinkish".

"Right! Right! What do you have in those two colour", Arielle asks the sales lady, as she smiles and tells her they have three different types of heels in nude colour and four in baby pink.

Arielle looks around and requests, "Please show me all of them. If you can?". The lady nods with a fake smile, and pulls out the heels one by one. I
looked at Arielle's expression as I looked towards all of them. But she did not look really excited about any of the ones that were in front of her.
Until another sales lady inserted, "Kayla, we can show her the newest collection that came in yesterday".

Kayla, the lady who had been showing us the shoes, suddenly snapped,"Marie! Please do your own work".

"But I was just making sure you remembered that". Marie, responds. "I think these girls are only here to discount stuff, so just don't
interrupt here."

With an angry look, Kayla whispered to Marie but I and Arielle could hear it all. I roll my eyes and pray Arielle doesn't fire her.

"Excuse me!" Arielle spoke while pushing pressure in her words, oh... oh! There it goes again.

Kayla, glances at Arielle and makes a mean face, god! Don't do that girl, Arielle will murder you.
"What aren't you two here for the discount and sale? And the shoes that came in yesterday are not something any of you can afford" Kayla
states with hands on her waist. Dead! That was the death sentence she just gave to herself.
Arielle looks at me with a smirk on her face and I worriedly nod my head negatively.

"Please" She mouths, I look away as I knew she would do what she wanted.

"Do you even know what you just said?" Arielle reverts, with her arms crossing.

Kayla rolls her eyes and says, "Why? Did you not hear me right? What are you anyways, huh? The president?"
"No, but my mother is!"

"Yeah sure! And my mother is Canada's prime minister?" Kayla comments with sarcasm , can't she just keep her mouth shut?

"Okay, Marie dear, can you call the manager here?" Arielle requests the other lady, she gives a small smile and goes to the other side to get the manager.

In the end, Kayla was fired and with anger on her nose Arielle bought probably the whole store.

"Hope! Are you ready?" Mum asks as she knocks on the my door, I push my husband off of me and reply, "Yes mum, will be out in 5".

Adrian wraps his arm around my waist tightly and whisper's in my ear, " Oh god! I don't want to let you go" kissing my earlobe which gives a
shiver down my spine.

I blush red as he says, "Baby, I am going to ravish you the day we go back to our new house".

"Just let me go! Mum is waiting" I get up on my knees to leave the bed, but his hold on my waist is too strong and he niping the skin on my neck he states, "I love you, Hope. Always remember that " and he let me go. I looked at him with adoration in my eyes, pecking him on his lips quickly, I got up and went to change in the closet.

We were out for my lehenga, thank god! Aunt Kaira is a fashion designer. She would always have something handy for us when we were
kids for diwali or for Ganpati, she would always have a dress or something designed for each of us.

"See, what about this one? Is this okay?" Aunt Kaira asks me while holding the purple lehenga in her hand. I pout and nod my head negatively.
"I need something that can, you know, make my heart beat in an instant. Something like... oh my gosh!", I say as I walk around the store and
stop at the mannequin wearing a beautiful silver saree. Wow! This is amazing!

"Aunt Kaira, what about this one? Is anyone taking this?If not, can I try this on?" I ask her in excitement, as she looks at me with a smile. "This
design is my first design, no one has ever put it on ever.This was in the studio for the last 12 years and I have just pulled it out to get it some
restyling. You try it on, this is yours now".

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the best" I enthusiastically cheered. "Don't spoil her, Kaira. She is already spoilt enough".

"Oh come on Heer! This can be her wedding gift? And I only have one niece, so just let me spoil her" Aunt Kaira speaks as she pats my back. And I hugged her from the side.

I hope these beautiful days don't end soon. I am really feeling good!
