The marriage day

His heart thumped. She was looking like a goddess. Her milky white face was glowing brightly due to sun rays falling on her .Her blonde hair plunged over her shoulders. She had cherry lips with rosy cheeks and her big hazel orbs showed no emotions. She wire asimple sky blue collared frock till knee length. A pair of cream flats covered her feet. After some discussions she sat with her father in a car and faded from his site. A smile crept on his plumpy lips. Then he also went away. At her home Stella was welcomed by the disgusted faces of her step mother and step sister.They had been warn beforehand by Mr Rafhe no to create any fuss. Stella after bowing to her step mother marched towards the guest room. The wedding day was in two days. Stella didn't go anywhere in these two days. She didn't even talk to anyone or actually come out of her room. Only one maid was allowed to enter her room with food and other necessities. She tried her wedding gown and other things in that room only. The gown and other jewelry were chosen by her future in laws as they didn't trust Rafhe's at all. When Mr Jones had asked why Stella was locked in her room Mr Rafhe explained that she wasn't locked by us instead she herself had put a condition of staying in a room till she had reached the wedding venue. Hearing this Allan had decided to keep the wedding in two days so that he could take away her from that place. On the other hand the evil duo mother and daughter tried various ways to stop the wedding but Allan had kept an eye on them and flopped all their plans secretly. They were helpless as they weren't allowed in Stella's room also.The two days flew like a blink of an eye. Finally the wedding day had arrived. Two souls were going to become one. Mixed emotions could be seen on everyone's faces. Excitement, anger, nervousness, happy, sad, fear, envy, desire, anticipation and many others as everyone waited for the bride to appear impatiently. Then the door opened and Allan's heart pounded.He knew that he had seen her before but she would be seeing him first time. She had not even seen his picture. She kept her eyes down and walked on the alter towards him with her arms intertwined with her father. She looked alluring. She had slender eyebrows, velvety eyelashes, dainty nose, sea-nymph ears and glossy skin. Her face had light makeup but it looked celestial. The off-white gown perfectly fitted her imp-thin body. The jewelry looked as if it was just specifically made for her. The gown was one shoulder and her head was covered by her veil. His eyes were not even blinking once until her father distracted him by forwarding her hand.

Mr Rafhe- Take care of my princess.

Allan- I will treat her like my queen.

He assured. Mr Rafhe although abandoned her was now feeling very emotional and guilty but nothing affected Stella. He then forwarded her hand and Allan held it gently. But before the wedding could proceed further a loud voice was heard. It was a reporter. Soon the media rushed in towards Stella and bombarded with questions.

Reporter 1- Ma'am is it true that you are marrying in Jones family to destroy them?

Reporter 2- Are you marrying for money? Are you a gold digger?

Reporter 3- Is it because you were abandoned so you are taking revenge?

Reporter 4- Please tell what your family is planning to take down the number one bachelor.

Reporter 5- Ma'am is it true that you stole your sister's fiance? Did you do this to take revenge on her?

Reporter 2- Why did you steal your sister's fiance?

Reporter 4- Did you also snatch all the money and properties from your father?

Reporter 1- Are you planning to snatch Jones' properties also?

Reporter 3- Did you force your father? Please speak something. Does your silence mean that you accept everything?

Everyone was shocked to the core.Stella remained silent without any emotions. But Allan was raged and had seen Mrs Rafhe and Fexin smirking.He yelled making all reporters shocked and silent.

Allan- Enough! Not a word more against her otherwise I will destroy your family and I mean it.

He then stated the whole truth and exposed the mother daughter duo's past.

Reporter 3- Still it doesn't show that your bride is innocent.

By now Mrs Rafhe fumed in anger as all her dirt was exposed. She shouted to her husband and pressured him.

Mrs Rafhe- See because of that whore I have got so much insulted today. Today you have to choose between me and her. First she snatched my daughter's happiness and now ruined our reputation. You go and kill her now or you will see my dead face.

Everyone had another shock. Mr Rafhe was crying by now and stuttered

Mr Rafhe- What are you saying? She is my own daughter. How can I kill her? For you I had abandoned her and even cheated on my wife who loved me the most.

Mrs Rafhe- So you won't kill her then I will do it myself.

Mr Rafhe- Shut up! Dare you lay a hand on my daughter.

Mrs Rafhe- Are you choosing her over me? Don't forget I can leave you.

Mr Rafhe- Are you threatening me ? You can go.

Stella went towards her father and placed a knife on her father's hand which she had picked up from a table where a cake was kept Straight looking into his eyes she sighed and rubbed his tears which was streaming down his cheeks continuously. It was the first time where they had a father daughter moment which gave tears in many eyes who were looking at them.

Stella- Crying doesn't suit you. It hurts me to see tears in your eyes. Don't worry. You had given me a life so you have full authority to take it. You don't have to feel helpless to choose between me and your love. No one will say anything. I promise. Here is the knife. Take it and stab me deep.

Allan wanted to stop her but was stopped by her to interfere.

Stella- No one can interfere. Go ahead dad.

Mr Rafhe took the knife with trembling hands while Allan rushed to them.But before he could do anything Mr Rafhe stabbed himself and fell on the ground. The police had arrived by then.

Mr Rafhe- I am sorry Stella for everything. Now I regret everything especially the pain I gave to your mother. As an apology I have transferred all my money and properties including the company on your name. I am sure you will take care of it very well. I am tired. I want to rest now. Stella can you give your father a last goodbye .

The guests and media were crying but Stell had just a straight face while Mrs Rafhe regretted thinking that the properties would go to Stella. Stella sighed, knelt down and gave a peck on her father's head then closed his eyes with her palm.

Stella- Rest in peace. In next life let's meet again but not as father and daughter. There Mrs Rafhe and Fexin yelled and cursed her so the police women held them tightly so that they wouldn't harm anyone. Then Stella came to Allan and knelt down.
