Chapter 3: CH.2- Unlucky Star
Aanya's pov...
Each part stiffens and the hair of my body felt a bone-chilling cold. I was frightened so much that it was beyond my discrimination, as soon as an unwanted but familiar face came into my sight.
Seeing him in front of me I could not stop myself from trembling, I tried to stop myself from trembling so that I could look brave, and slowly I really stopped.
He saw me for a while and then leaned a bit closer to me, his blue orbs seemed as cold and icy in the moonlight. He threw his cold gaze on my face and said solemnly without any expression.
"You gained your consciousness very quickly, I expected that it would take a few more hours for you to come to your senses," he looked into my eyes, and his fingers brushed my cheek said which weren't friendly at all. I flinched at his touch, it was enough to give me a fright, I buried myself on the couch.
Seeing my timidity, a smirk ran on his slightly curled lips, which made him even more handsome.
I should have been taken aback by it, but right now, seeing it I felt a chill run all over my body.
"Today you were going to get engaged to someone else, but like every time this time also I did not let you get engaged! Should I apologize to you?"
Hearing it I recalled, my eyes enlarged-- yes, today I was going to get engaged with Victor Robertson, but then what happened?
Slowly, I remember that after waking due to my nightmare I could not sleep so I decided to do other things to divert my attention from my nightmare.
I took a bath and changed my clothes, I went to my room's balcony to see the preparations for the engagement. Our house was very magnificent and big but even more wonderful and large was our garden and my engagement was going to happen in the garden.
That's why many people were busy preparing to make our beautiful garden more beautiful, who were decorating it with more flowers, balloons and colorful clothes.
I come back and sat in front of the vanity table, I saw my reflection in the mirror, due to short sleep my eyes got dark circles, seeing it I sighed, then started combing my hair.
Soon a maid came with breakfast and my mom was behind her, as she saw my panda eyes she frowned, "Are you so anxious about your engagement that could not aleep at night?!"
My mother was in her early fifties but still, she looked beautiful. My mother had maintained herself in such a way that if some unknown person met us for the first time, he always considered my mother as my elder sister.
I sighed and pouted "You can say that," then I apply concealer to hide my dark circles, after that I sat on the couch and my mother sat next to me and started feeding me, and I enjoy eating my breakfast.
She took my hand into her warm palms and looked at my mehndi (Heena) on my hands, which was applied by my maternal grandma last night who came from India to attend my engagement ceremony.
"The mehndi bloom very well and left the deep color on your hands," she said with bright eyes "Victor really loves you!" She enlarged her beautiful brown eyes and passed me a teasing smile.
I felt a hot sensation, as my face flushed due to her teas.
Aah, my mother!!
Although she was a highly educated woman who used to help my father in running the business, still sometimes started believing too much in proverbs like an old grandmother.
As there is a saying in India that the darker the color of the mehndi left on your hands the deeper your husband's love will be for you... But what they didn't know, nowadays readymade mehndi comes in the market, which guarantees to leave a darker color on the hands due to chemicals.
I shook my head helplessly and grinned.
To make me more beautiful on my engagement my mother had called the famous beautician of the city
By the time I finish my breakfast, that beautician had come to my room with her entire team.
It took them many hours to prepare me but they did well. When I stood in front of the mirror I was stunned to see myself, although I knew that I was very beautiful, they had prepared me in such a way that my beauty was increased that as if I was an angel descended from the sky.
They had tied my black thick silky hair in a bun and they put a very beautiful diamond brooch in my bun which was given by my mother, which increased my beauty even more.
After a while all the guests started coming there, all my friends had come and Victor and his family had also arrived. It was a while in the engagement so Victor and I were sitting and chatting with our friends.
My all friends were very happy for me, especially Nick Bloomer, and Selina Swan. They were my best friends.
Alex Rowan was also there, he was sitting right next to Selina Swan. He was my neighbor.
His eyes were glued on me, I felt it and looked at him. As he got my attention, he faintly smiled at me. I rolled my eyes to peeked at Selina. I sighed in relief that she was engrossed in talking with Nick and his wife.
Alex Rowan liked me and wanted to marry me. He came forward many times to marry me, but he had to bear the brunt of my being an unlucky star many times.
At first, my family had chosen him as a candidate for my life partner, but as soon as we were about to get engaged, he had an accident due to which we had to postpone the engagement for a few days.
When he recovered, we thought of getting engaged again and but again he had an accident, after that when he had an accident on the third to the fourth consecutive, then his mother got some doubts. And she was the one who gave me the title of 'unlucky star'.
