Turning 17 is very hard especially in a society that chooses your own destiny. Knowing who's going to be your future husband and how your family is going to be shaped is very hard. What if you don't have a happily ever after? In 2 days my future will be determined, by a person who's never met me. They don't know how I am what attitudes I have towards different things. Their gonna decide what future I'm gonna find a perfect soulmate for me but then I wonder do we even have a soulmate? A perfect soulmate is someone you met and knew for a very long time who comprehends what you go through on the daily bases, not someone who doesn't even know your mood someone who you never even met.
The day has come , the dress hugged my curves. The midnight blueness of the dress, went on and on, growing over the bow which held the dress together. The bow was made of the purest silk which was in a tight knot, accentuating her wonderful figure and pushing up my boobs so smoothly and neatly. Like a waterfall, the blue silk flowed downwards, hitting her shapely knees perfectly and showing off the porcelain whiteness of my pale skin, lit up by the darkness of the blue dress.
I walked in this svelte building , We were never allowed here. Only the ones who are eligible to marry and the society chose your husband get to experience this. I allowed myself to smile and take in this special moment before they announce what's ahead of me. I really don't liked this idea of them choosing my husband.
A heart-warming smile waited for me, My mother was sitting down in a elegant lime green gown, which brought out her eyes, Her eyes were the color of milk chocolate edged with deep forest-green. I gave her a positive smile to let her know everything as going to be alright. My mother came rushing in with her deeply open arms to shower me with hugs.
" Hello audrey, are you ready?"
My stomach dropped since I got here, I feel like I just ate something and it got to my stomach like a anchor that holds the ship down.
"yes mother I am ready for anything that's heading my way." I gave her a tilted smile to show that I meant what I had said.
" well your seat will be over here sweetie now we just need to shit patiently until they call you up and show you , your highlight of your life then shorty will show you your husband, if you choose to accept."
I didn't explain to you the process, so we basically meet them and go on a few dates then we go to this giant camp with people the same age as you and you have activities to work on with your future husband. I am actually looking forward to this meeting him but then I become nervous because what if he's ugly or if he's rude or disrespectful and I end up not loving him. Will I be a nobody after this. Those people who just end up by themselves when they turn old? I really don't want that because I want to love someone and want them to take care of me and love so hard that they don't have enough words to say how they feel about me I want to brag to my children on how much their father loves me and I want them to be proud of what we have.
We were separated by this barrio they couldn't look at us by any chance they wanted this to be as secretly as it could be. Their was about 30 girls in the room with their parents . I haven't seen my father anywhere.
" mother where's my father?"
Mother turns around from a very compromising conversation she was having with this ginger head lady. " Sweetheart we came in together and I haven't seen him since then." Her face expression didn't say much she was plain which was very weird for her because she's a person who loves to cringe.
"alright mother , since when did you guys get here." sounding very
"We got here in the noon" she replied
"alright" I replied with a empty voice because I was scared
An extremely spaciously large and wide oval room, painted in pine green and the roof a nude color which made the pine green stick out maybe even pop. Over to the far right is a surreal inbuilt waterfall releasing a relaxing sound of water flowing. The furnishings are soft yet firm and ensure comfort in a spacious manor. Their is an evening twist of an exclusive 8ft tank which when the light falls reveals the slow angelic movements of jellyfish against a florescent light. the few is only clear blue crystal waters and the tropical fish swimming around you.
