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

The palace decked up for the wedding spreads its brightness in the darkness of the night. The entire aura radiated happiness and vibrant music filled the air with its beats.

In a room on the 4th floor, sitting on the bed with the laptop on her lap. her nervous eyes going through the email, but soon excitement buzzes through her taking away those tense expressions which transition into a wide smile.

" I got the admission"

But when her eyes land on the time, she puts the laptop away at once. She had to perform at the wedding. Getting up Kiara lifts her dupatta placed on the bed and turns to the mirror. she pins it to her lehenga choli. There was a spark in those stunning eyes which admired themselves in the mirror. There was no doubt Kiara was attractive, intelligent and beautiful. A small smile appears on her face, thinking of the perfection her life has,

"Everything is so perfect. Ajay bhai is marrying Aditi. The loan is paid off. My job contract is ending with the Rathods. I'm about to complete my bachelor's degree, got admission to Paris for my master's, and there's Laksh who loves me so much. Perfect career. Perfect marriage and perfect life"

She swirls, spreading her arms, eyes admiring the chandelier above, and the breeze brushing against her face. relishing the moment Kiara twirls but when a call from her mother Sakshi breaks it, bringing her to reality out of her dreamland. She at once runs out to the terrace where the wedding is taking place.

The string lights reflect on her golden lehenga, her brown lustrous hair flying in the air as she dances to the beats of the music. The spotlight travels with her. Little did she know that the dreams she saw were going to be shattered, broken brutally. The rose petals fall on her while she swirls. In her world anxiety, panic, and fear never existed.

" Kiara!! Kiara "

Kiara halts, her eyes finding the source of the voice. Finally when she spots Mihara her maternal cousin. she runs towards her and asks in excitement, her face glowing in those light decor, while her eyes shine with happiness.

" What happened"

" Laksh has been calling you for hours. here, keep your phone with you, or someday he might get mad", she teases Kiara a little.

" Ok you go ", Kiara says giggling. She is excitedly going to unlock her phone but suddenly Aryan's name flashes taking away that smile. Kiara rushes downstairs away from the loud music and hustle – bustle of the terrace and picks the phone.

" Hello"

" Kiara, you have to accompany me on a trip, I have emailed you the tickets don't be late " Aryan tells her but before she can say a single word the call gets cut.

" How rude," Kiara grumbled out in annoyance, narrowing her eyebrows. The moment she joined the Rathod's company, Aryan was harsh to her. Sometimes he gets on her nerves but Kiara has to bear everything as the job is her only source of income through which she can pay her fees and complete her education. If there wasn't a contract of 5 years she would have left the company after her graduation and joined another company.

Her phone chimes again and this time it was Laksh's message, which brought a smile to her face and lifted her mood as well.

"I'll wait for you at the Golden Bridge."

Kiara looks around if anyone is there, but all the relatives are upstairs. It is almost 1:30 am in the morning and she is not one of those girls who are afraid of stepping out at late night. She is brave and is always ready to fight for herself and can protect herself.

Concealing her face underneath the dupatta, Kiara sneaks out of the palace.

{••}•

Standing by the railing of the Golden Bridge decked with golden lights like a star sprinkling its luminance in the dark universe. She gazes at the river, flowing freely, carrying the reflection of the bridge and the city lights. Laksh was definitely testing her patience by making her wait for him. Her Fingers tapped impatiently against the cold railing.

Suddenly a soothing voice flies into her ear, making her swirl at once.

" Kiara "

The anger dissolves in thin air when she sees his face. Though he was extremely late, well he was always late but she would always wait for him.

Running to him, she hugs him tightly, it has been weeks since they have met. That moment covered that longing.

" Kiara"

he pulls her back gently, looking into her eyes. It felt like she was living a dream, in her love's arms under that romantic golden bridge covered with lights sparkling.

She has every single thing of what she ever dreamed of, it was the happiest moment of her life. Laksh is about to say something but suddenly a car passes hurling abusive words at Kiara, snatching the smiles on their face. Laksh scowls at them but Kiara holds his hand which is balled into a fist.

" Laksh leave it "

" Kiara how dare they??, " Laksh almost yells in fury, scowling at the car disappearing in the distance.

" Laksh, calm down " Kiara tries to calm him but Laksh had something in his mind.

" Come with me ".

Laksh holds her hand and takes her with him in the car to the beach nearby.

{•••}

The car halts at the roadside, getting out, laksh opens the door for her. Kiara is about to step outside but Laksh extends his hand. She lovingly takes his hand and gets out.

"There is a beautiful surprise for a beautiful princess."

Heading down to the beach, Kiara is left mesmerised by the intricate decor.

The whole beach lit with white and golden lights, had an aisle of roses surrounded by tiny lamps kept at regular intervals. White cloth enveloped around the canopy's pole flew in the air, underneath the canopy resided a table having a shiny sparkling box.

" Thank you so much Laksh,"

Holding his hand, she walks down the aisle with Laksh. He is about to pick up the box but his phone rings, forcing him to get aside for a while but soon Laksh comes back.

"I am sorry, it was from the office"

"No worries."

Kiara smiled but she definitely was expecting him to propose to her and when he got on his knees, her heart skipped a beat. She was so eager for this moment.

Opening the box, laksh reveals the diamond ring bathed by the tiny white light embedded on the upper lid. Beholding the diamond ring, he slides on her finger.

" This ring is for my heart, my love, my lifeline "

His eyes conveyed a thousand words, getting to his feet. He held her hands, while their eyes locked at each other.

"I love you, Kiara"

Kiara feels as if her dream has come true. She hugs him. The air brushes past her, making her hair dance in the air. laksh slides his hand to her waist, slowly travelling it up to the knot of her blouse. Kiara's eyes opened instantly in astonishment. She shivered in his hold, He slightly pulled it sending a surge of fear radiating down her spine, making her extremely uncomfortable.
