The New Me

Chapter-5

I reached my house and it was 6.30 which means I was a little late. When I entered my house I heard Laura crying. I went up to her and asked what happened? She said that she had grown fat and she can't fit in her dress anymore and the dress was torn from the side. On hearing this I bursted out laughing my ass out. Laura and 3 of her friends glared at me as if I had forced her to eat so many chocolates. I ignored them and went to my room.

After 15 mins I heard footsteps going to the attic. I was flabbergasted. Laura in no hell was getting my mothers clothes. All my mother's clothes were kept safely in a trunk in the attic and I just didn't want Laura's filthy hands on them. I often went to the attic and sniffed on my mom's clothes as they still had her perfume's fragrance in them, it reminded me of her.

When I reached the attic Laura already had my mom's wedding dress in her hands. I just stood there and stared. Tears were already filling my eyes but I would never cry in front of Laura not even in my wildest dreams. That dress was made by mom's bestfriend and favourite designer Chelsea Clinton. It had real pearls and Swarovski fitted in it. It was the dream wedding dress, everybody wanted a dress like that after my mom's wedding was telecasted on television. I asked Laura to keep the dress and leave the attic with a stern voice.

She laughed and said," as if you are gonna wear this dress. This dress is extraordinary and only extraordinary people like me can buy them, look at you. Who is gonna marry you? You always wear such bad clothes and you aren't even as pretty as I am, I wonder did Miss Claudia adopt you? so just back of and let me wear this dress. The rehearsal is gonna start in an hour and I need to get ready."

I increased my pitch and said," you can't wear that dress, MY mother gave that dress to ME and NOT to you."

After what I said Laura became extremely angry.

She said," you are fighting with me for a dress. You can't even lend me a dress. Look at my father he has given so much to you. He is the one who educated you, he gave you clothes, he gave you shelter, and my mother, my mother gave you food, she took care of you and look at yourself you can't give anything to us. You can't do anything for our family.

The last words hit me like a truck and I just couldn't handle it anymore. I went close to her and said," this dress was made for MY mother and my mother wanted ME not you, to wear this dress on MY wedding. And it's not my fault that you grew fat.

On hearing this Laura screamed and took the dress and tore it and said that you deserve THIS. One of her friend tried to stop her and told her that it was my mother's dress and she can't just tear it.

I would never let her go like this.

I leaned forward and said," I don't deserve any of this. I deserve better and the best and lemme tell you one thing very clearly that till now you have just seen me the way YOU and YOUR family wanted me to be and now you are going to see the real Aira Fernandez. The New Me.

After saying this I was just heading back to my room when suddenly a wild monster inside me forced to go and slap Laura right across her face.
