Retelling of the story pride and prejudice.
" It is a truth universally acknowledged , that a girl in possession of too many pride and prejudice books , must end up in the book being a character she hates. "
I love pride and prejudice, and read lo...
" cara am I only in your friends list?" I don't know how to answer him. " shouldn't I be in your best friends list?" he asked saving me from answering something stupid.
" of course you're my best friend Mr Darcy....but wouldn't my brother feel bad if you call me your best friend? " I asked him. " of course your brother isn't a petty person. so he wouldn't mind I am sure. " he said with a lovely smile. He really had to be that handsome.
" Its so lovely here...you dont see such scenery in the town...must say I know why you dont want to go back in town." said Mr Darcy looking around enjoying the greenery.
" I never knew...Mr Darcy who is always busy with accounts and work will have such a taste for nature and its beauty. " I told him honestly. Books makes him sound like a rigid and self centered man...before meeting with Elizabeth. Of course...her charms have changed him.
"I am a human Miss Caroline Bingley, I do have emotions..." he said finally taking my whole name. " Glad to know that. " I teased him and he laughed with me. We sat quitely for sometime. Even silence sound like a music with him.
" Mr Darcy, do you think that I can do it? Be a good business woman. " I asked him. " I believe you can became a good business woman cara...you can do anything. " he said in a soft whisper.
"Thank you....for tursting me. "I told him. "Always...I know we were not always very good friends. I was a very bad judge but you're my good friend now and I trust you. " Said Mr Darcy and I dont think I need any other encouragement.
We roamed a little and came back, I have so much to do, the wedding is in three days. I ordered flowers, clothes, had to talk with people explaining them what I want. Its a really hard work.
Daisy is super excited for her marriage. Its nice to see someone getting ready to marry the love of their life. But of course I am suffering here a lot.
I had to get Daisy's cake custom made, the decoration, flowers is everything that Daisy wants. I am surprised how specific she is about everything. She doesn't want anything to go wrong. And I will try to make her special day more special.
2 Days later.
If only Lydia was here she could have helped me but I cannot bring her here. I got a letter from my friend saying she is improving and putting a lot in her work. Must say I am very impressed.
Tomorrow is the wedding and the one thing that needs to be done is embroide the veil a little. It came really plain looking and that doesn't go with the theme. So I sat down to embroide that. The bridemaid's bresses arivved.
Even the best man's dress arrived. I am working on the veil from morning. Hope I will be done by mid night. My fingers are almost numb but I have to work little hard.
" Dinner time " said Mom coming in with a plate of food. She brought some fried rice, and a thick gravy of chicken...my comfort food. But I can't stop working. I am too busy. " Thank you mother...put it their I will eat it later. " I said to him. It will get cold if you don't eat fast. " she said sitting on a tool next to me.
" Its soo nice to see how much effort you're putting to make someone's wedding dream to be real. " Said mother looking at the veil which is strecthed in the whole room.
" Its my work. But I feel wedding should be how you like it. So the memory of your special day stays with you forever. " I told her and she nodded. " Here my moonshine, let me feed you while you work. " Said my mother and started to feed me with a spoon.
" Thank you mother. " I said to her. She smiled and said " A child shouldn't thank their mother for loving them. " She continued feeding me while I kept working.
" Carol..." she called and I looked up. She smile and said " So you do answer when someone calls you carol..." she said in a teasing voice. " Mother don't tease me. " I told her and she tried to contol her laugh.
" Mother how was your wedding? Do tell me about it? " I asked her to change the subject. " Well, it was more of a political deal than love. My father wanted a groom for me so that his property doesn't go to his step brothers..." she said and marriage here are all staged and planned, not too emotional.
" No one to call me with nicknames " said mother, how she jumps back in the same topic again and again. Her teasing smile is irritating. " I don't like it when you tease me. " I said to her and she laughed again. " Sorry dear." she said between her laughs.
" Its alright. Mother I want to ask you a question if you don't mind." I asked her. " what is it dear?" she asked me curiously.
" As our society is built everyone wants a son...were you unhappy when you had two daughters? " I asked her. I don't know why I did that. she became silent for a bit. " When your sister was born my mother in law wasn't happy. But I remember the only feeling I had in me was love....pure love. I was, am or will never be ashamed of it. I am full of pride that I have three healthy kids and two lovely daughters. " She said and I teared up.
" But I am not married yet....will that not bother you? " I asked her. " Your father, got his elder daughter married. Even she wanted to get married. But I see you have a dream so will not force you to marry. Married or not I still love you. " She said and I hugged her.
We shared a long sweet moment. After that she sat with me helping me embroide the veil. With her help I was done by midnight. We stood watching our creation.
