“Wakey Wakey love Bird, its your is day today” was heard from a squeaky voice that stuttled them awake and a blush of red appearing in Jasmines cheeks as she realised her sleeping position and tried to move and get up without looking awkward, She infact had knowledge of where she was and how she got here, she felt every moment from Brian’s mumbling and him carrying her to his bed but she was too lazy to protest
She was ushered to the bathroom where she took a rather long bath , thinking about what is going to happen , how she got here and how she wished she could see her future or rather predict and can if possible change her future that looks disliking at the moment
“Are you okay in there sweetheart?” a sound that was familiar to that of the makeup artist from yesterday spoke on the opposite side of the door ,drawing her off her reverie of thoughts,she quickly scrubbed her body and constantly splashing her face with water because the more she thought about this day,tears involuntarily spilled from her eyes and no one should see that right?
She entered her room again to be drawed to something similar to a stand and her body being pulled in every direction, her hair also being pulled and hearing voices from not only one person but a lot of people speaking to her with no one hearing the other
“STOP!ENOUGH!” She screamed ,she has had it being pulled by stranger as if she is not controlled and being pulled like a string puppet already…
“Now listen I know that we a running out of time but I haven’t gotten breakfast and all you people are just yelling and hurting me and causing me a headache so please can one of you get me some cookies or toast and orange juice, then each one of you do your job gentle and please talk one at a time” She said to all of them, they all listened and complied at the one sent for breakfast came back with a sandwitch in which she appreciated and ate peacefully while everyone was doing their job
After her hair and makeup was done,It was now time for her to get dressed in her dress and she did that ,then afterward slipping into her shoes like she was Cinderella and after she turned to the mirror, instantly gaping at the girl staring right back at her, the crowd behind her looked at her in awe and she was left speechless.
She looked like a princess if she can say so herself, she looked like the girl she once wished to become when she was still young, Her hair was in a tight Bun that was fancied by a unique braid that was tied in a exquisite was and her makeup at a minimal with the only focus on her eyes , they were smokey and exposing more of her hazel coloured eyes and making them bigger than they were. She was beautiful.
“I think our job is done here, C’mon guys lets just give the bride her private time alone to take a look at herself …” One of the guys said leaving Jasmine sitting there infront of the full length mirror trying really hard to not the tears spill again, fearing that she will ruin her beautiful face that they spend a full one hour dolling up and making sure that her dress does became too crinkled when she took her seat
“You are so beaufull” she was shaken by a voice that she knew very well and missed dearly, she turned around coming face to face with her mothe and now tears flowing freely from her eyes to her cheeks
“I thought I was always so Beautiful” She said trying to stifle a laugh and failing miserbly, she enveloped her mom in a bone crushing hun, sobbing more on her mom’s shoulders
“Its okay baby, Im so sorry Mila, I am only trying you the future I never had…” She said to be silenced by Jasmine’s finger on her lips
“Its okay mama, I understand, how are holding up hm? Is the water bill now paid, and the electricity bill? Have you gotten your pills and what did the doctor say?” she asked her mom holding her hands with a concerned look in her face
“Shhhh, Hush now, the bills are not paid yet and I have two pills that will last me, and I have been taking little baths on the diners bathroom and ive been asking the neigbours for boiling water for tea and ive been using the gas heater to keep warm, and no Mila it has not made me ill and beside the point, Mila this is your day today, you should not worry about me” She said pulling her daughter to the bed and wiping the remainder of her tear-stained eyes
“Mr Simmons said he deposit the money just after I say I do so that should get you covered a bit especially on the pills” She said and Maria just smiled and looked at her daughter before pulling her again into a motherly hug
Brain heard everything as he was about to pass throught the hallway where he easedropped on thr conversation from Jasmine with her mom, Instantly he felt a ping of guilt and anger going though every vein of her body, Why would her grandfather just give them the money instead of this and as he was about to walk back he bumped into Jasmine’s mother
“Im so sorry” He said looking at the frail old wome that looked much like an older verson of his bride
“it’s okay and you must be Brian, Jasmine is just taking the last of her pictures” she said extending her arm to him, He smiled back to the older lady before nodding back to the old lady
“WE ARE NOW READY PEOPLE” one of the catering and planning crew announced loudly, Brian being ushered to the reception where music began playing
“Here goes nothing”
