"What's the use of keeping a pretty face when Raul is not here!" I almost yelled
And just before I knew it, there was Emma, snoring like a monkey! Did she really care about how I felt? I think no one cared.
I couldn't get myself to sleep anymore. I was awake until daybreak. Emma, who had been the one sleeping all through, was the one who forced me out of bed to get prepared for my wedding. She was more excited than I, who was the bride.
Everything was set, yet the groom was nowhere to be found.
“You need to put on your wedding dress and get ready or we will be late!" Emma yelled at me.
“So, I'm going to wed myself right? Can you just hear yourself?" I was pissed off.
"The priest called and said we have just 30 minutes or less left.”
"To hell with this wedding Emma. You know what, I'm not moving an inch until Raul returns.”
"You can't do that Lorena!”
"You think I'm joking? Watch and see” I replied.
I went over to a sofa by the side and threw myself into it.
Just as if the universe heard my voice, Raul's car drove into the compound. Looking at the window, I knew he was the one as it was the same car he drove out with the previous day.
