Elena's POV:

I looked at myself in the mirror, it was like a dream come true..

I saw the beautiful lady in the mirror, the Bride....

She was fair, curly long hair, blue eyes, she was wearing her mom's wedding dress. It was her dream, though she lost her parents at fifteen, it's been eight years now...still they are alive in her heart.

Mom would have been so happy to see me getting married to Luke. He is such a kind person, and more important is that he loves me.

I always wanted a person who loves me even if i don't, it's not that i don't love him but i am assured that i love him way to much as a bestfriend that he is since my childhood. I have no regret to spend my life with him. He knows everything about me..and i feel as i am myself with him.

"Finally you are getting married Ms. Elena Shaw." i mumbled to myself.

"Elle!!...you need any help?" Arina asked taking me out of my trance. She is my roommate. After my parents died, i couldn't stay alone so she lived with me as a paying guest. Our neighbor Uncle James suggested us. She lived in a rented house in my neighborhood and asked me if she could stay with me. We were best friends since then. She was taller then me brunette with big brown eyes. She was the only family i had till now.

"Arina..i am almost done.. Has Luke arrived?"

"Not yet..i am wondering what is taking him so long..i will check with his parents." she said and went out.

I nodded concerned and started doing the final touchups. After few minutes i was all ready. Luke must have arrived by now... I saw my college friends in bridesmaids dresses and smiled. They all looked excited. I took the flowers and got ready..Uncle James will be escorting me to the aisle...i saw him coming through the door...this is it!! It's time!!

He looked at me concerned and stopped..

"Uncle..is everything alright?" i asked when i saw Arina coming in through the door. She was breathless as she entered her eyes watery...like she would burst crying anytime.. A knot formed in my stomach..

"What's wrong??" i asked both of them.

"Elle..."she cutted closing her eyes.

"WHAT IS IT?" I almost shouted.

"It's about Luke..."she said and was interrupted by Uncle James..

"..he is no more. He died in a car accident few minutes back."

Noooo!!!! This isn't true...No..no..no...God please no!!!

I looked at them shocked. It felt like my world is over..nothing is left. First my parents and now the only person who is closest to me since childhood is no more!! That too on our wedding day!!
My heart felt like it had disappeared. I felt...Blank...absolutely Blank...
I didn't knew what to do...i just want peace...

I started walking out of the church ignoring comments and shouts of people calling me. I don't know where i am going..i just kept walking.......till i found the place where i could curse my life......
