REINCARNATED

8

"You look so beautiful," the makeup artist said, adding the finishing touches to Krystal's face.

Krystal looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She remembered how she felt the day of her wedding before the reincarnation. She was the happiest bride, she had looked forward to the day since she was a little girl and when the day came, it felt as magical as she had thought of it.

Krystal always thought about how her wedding was way better than her marriage. The wedding day was the happiest she was in the marriage with Collins and she was not about to go down that road again.

"Thank you," Krystal said to the makeup artist.

"You're welcome."

Krystal picked up her phone after the make up artist left. Andrew had still not gotten back to her and she hadn't been able to reach him.

She had left a lot of messages for him but he hadn't called back. She feared that he wouldn't make it back and her plan was going to be in shambles.

She paced back and forth in the room, trying his number for what felt like the hundredth time.

"Hello, hello!!" Krystal said when Andrew finally answered the call.

"I have been trying to call you since forever!!!" Krystal said, panicking. Her palms were sweaty and she was very nervous.

"I wasn't with my phone all through the meeting but I am currently on my way back."

"Ohh, thank God."

"How close are you though?" Krystal asked.

"About 30 minutes," Andrew said.

"30 minutes!!"

"The wedding starts in 15!! What am I going to do?"

"I think you will have to find a way to delay. I can't do anything about it. I am trying my best here," he said.

"Please don't go past 30minutes, I am trusting you."

"Finally," Andrew said and then they ended the call.

The door opened and Trisha entered the room where Krystal was.

"What's delaying you? Everyone is sitter already. They are waiting for you," Trisha said.

"Krystal," her mum called, entering the room.

"You look amazing my love," her mum said kissing her on the cheek.

"Thanks mum."

"Your dad is waiting for you outside. You do fast and meet us outside."

"Yes, mum. I will be there in 3 minutes," Krystal said and then her mum left the room.

"Is everything okay?" Trisha asked, sensing the unease in Krystal.

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"I need Andrew to be here and he is still about 25 minutes away," she explained.

Trisha was confused about what Krystal was talking about.

"Why? What for?"

"He needs to be here for the plan to work."

Trisha tried to reason out what Krystal was talking about.

"You're still doing this? Are you for real? I thought you were joking."

"It's no joke Trisha."
