"Does he look good?" Laura asked Aria as she gave her a mug filled with hot chocolate.

Aria blushed at her words making her chuckle, "I'll take it as a yes,"

"It's more complicated than you think." Aria sighed, looking at her mug which was filled with her favourite drink.

"Is it?" She question.

Aria stared at Ginger who sat on her lap, trying to avoid the question, she didn't know what to say as she was trying to find the answers as well.

She wanted to know what she saw in him that made her feel so attracted towards him, why she longed for the man she barely knows anything about except his name.

Why does her heart beat loudly whenever they are in the same room?

Why does he stare at her as if she's the only person in the whole world?

Aria for sure knows she don't see him as a friends, friends don't be like this.

Have I fallen for him!?.....No! I didn't, how can I?

That's a rubbish thought to think, he would never like someone like me.

"Aria...?" Laura called her out, breaking her trance.

Looking back Laura, she gave her apologetic smile, "I'm sorry what were you saying?."

Laura sighed and kept her mug down, looking back at Aria she spoke.

"Aria....the world is chronic for those who are good and obedient for those who are bad,...I have always kept you away from bad things because you're a beautiful soul my child, I've always treated you like my daughter and no mother would like her child knowing bad things..." She continued. "Remember one thing love, these evil folks sometimes are dressed like an angel to destroy you in a ugly manner that can never be mend. It's our responsibility to always be strong when things turn bad, don't ever give up on things which are yours." she said keeping her hand upon Aria's.

Aria understood what she meant to say, nodding her head in yes she kissed her hand, giving her a lovely smile

It's not that Laura doesn't want them together, she knows Aria is confuse with her feeling with Nathaniel. But the way she described him, she knows this will lead to things which might be a good for them or a sad. But, all she wants for Aria to be happy living her life instead of being in elation forever.

She wants her to be with someone who will make her happy, make Laura feel like she could trust him to be with Aria.

Laura wants to die knowing her daughter is in the hands of good.

That's just a mother's wish for her daughter.

"Anyways, I'm so glad he came there to save you that day...." She said and soon they continued to converse about everything from tomorrow's party to the dress.

--------------------

The next day Aria was more exhilarated to see Nathaniel.

Her whole body was buzzing with excitement, she for the first time took a leave from her job and bought a nice dress. Aria purchased a black dress which had small colourful flowers imprinted with no sleeves, the dress reached till mid-thigh. She paired it with strap heels.

As the evening came she was running around her room trying to get ready. Though she kept everything ready this morning but the last minute decisions to look for more options to wear dresses and try hairstyles made her a mess.
