Runaway Fiancée

Chapter one

2th October 2011.
  
Julia was very pleased by her new car. A Chevrolet impala which she used to dream of when she was adolescent. The only thing on her mind right now was to show it to her lovely boyfriend Sebastian.

She rang at the doorbell of his apartment with euphoria as she was really excited to tell him how she found the car at a car dealer’s shop. ‘‘Finally I’ve…’’ Julia went out of the breathe.

That must be a mistake, maybe she was on the wrong floor, but she has been to Sebastian’s apartment thousand times now. Nevertheless she checks the apartment number to be sure. ‘‘Excuse me can I help you?’’ asked a flawless woman standing in front of the doorway wearing the bathrobe made of Egyptian cotton which she offered to Sebastian for his birthday. ‘‘Is Sebastian here?’’ she said grudgingly.

She never imagine that she would be in this situation one day, a naked woman standing in front of his doorway. ‘‘Yes, but he is sleeping because he is a bit tired. And you are? I can tell him that you’ve came to see him.’’ said the goddess. Just at that moment Julia felt as if she has been nuked. ‘‘That’s not important, just forget. I’ll better go.’’ she said after some second of absence.

Julia rushed to her car before she burst in tears, she still couldn’t believe what she has heard. And that girl who is she? “Don’t be idiot Julia she must be one of his suitors with whom he decided to replace you” she shouted to her. She hates crying and normally can easily prevent herself from doing so, but now it was overpowering her.

The man, with whom she was extremely in love, betrayed her in a pathetic way. He could have act as a real man and told her that he didn’t want her anymore.

That afternoon she went straight back home and spent the night crying on Katy’s shoulder.

October 2017

Julia was about to cry when she saw her standing in her wedding dress.

‘’You’re just perfect. It suits you amazingly well darling.’’ say Roberto.

‘‘You. Are. stunning darling.’’ continues her mother in tears. ‘‘I still can’t imagine that my little baby is getting married in two weeks. Hubert will be the luckier groom on earth honey.’’ Say her mother between two sniffs.

‘‘Oh thank you mummy. Love you.’’ Julia says while hugging her mother.

Julia love her mum very much and both has built a strong relationship since her father left them in a tragic road accident eighteen years ago. Even if her mother has not wished to talk about the accident or about her father, she always knew that he was with another woman on that night. She just didn’t bring up the subject so that her mother does not get hurt any further.

‘‘Let me pay for the bill, okay?’’ say Margueritte. ‘‘No mah, that’s okay I can afford it. Don’t worry.’’ ‘‘I know darling but take it as a gift before you walk away from me. Added to that you seems to forget that you are my only child and that I won’t have another opportunity to spend money on someone else rather than me anymore.’’

‘‘Mah. You already know that I will never be able to walk away from, I’m just getting married it’s normal that i  want to build my life. Now stop being over protective because we are just moving to another town and not to another country and you know can visit us whenever you want. And if you say that you want to buy the dress as a marriage gift, I will have to reject your offer as, you have already give me  the necklace of grandma which was your only souvenir of her.’’

‘‘Thank you for being so nice darling. Younger, you seem so independent that I just had to watch you grow up to a kind and beautiful woman but buying a wedding dress is a great pleasure you can grant an old lady like me.’’ Julia looked in her mother’s eyes with tenderness.

‘‘Very heartwarming babies and I don’t want to spoil a happy daughter-mother moment or to be impolite but there are other clients waiting for me outside.’ Says Roberto impatiently.

And he left them on those words.
