At this point all I was doing was just for my pleasure I guess. I feel bad but I enjoyed living a life given to me by the Gills.
Sheel came home but was not able to convince my parents but Mr. Gill when he personally came home assured my parents, to my surprise my mom was on board. He assured them that they can come to the trip with me and keep an eye on me if they wanted to.
But they didn’t want to come and said I could go. First started the shopping, I would be attending a wedding that was filled with dignitaries, royals, business moguls and I had to look the part. I most definitely didn’t want to look like a help you know.
Sheel surprising lent me her assistant for shopping. Got a good allowance as well. I felt like Julia Roberts from pretty women, prostitution aside. I almost bought everything from lingerie to a gowns, at least 15 pair of footwear. After three days of shopping it was exhausting.
I thought I will enjoy shopping but trying on every piece , matching jewelry and accessories. It was tougher than I thought. II had to take a photo of the looks they created as I, myself don’t have the talent to match these clothes myself.
I also was given GUCCI Globe-Trotter carry-on suitcase set. Wow, Dior clothes Gucci bags I mean I can’t even express how happy this made me. We were set to travel for a month as this particular wedding was not just a celebration of two partners. These ginormous families were merging together it was a big deal.
Agreements were getting signed. I was just allowed to be available when ever Rhea wanted me or just be with her disabled mom.
I was fine with that, her mom didn’t speak at all so it would be like I was sitting next to no one.
When I was getting so much from life I couldn’t crib about small things. I was asked to provide a medical test before tying with the family in their private plane. Yes, you heard right private plane.
I am beyond joyed. All of us were picked up in their customized Mercedes van. Luggage was sent separately.
When I entered the gate, there she sat ‘The Gulfstream IV’ you know Tom Cruise owns one as well.
I couldn’t take pictures as I was a tag along with the family and it would be very awkward. But Sheel was having fun, she looked gorgeous in the Christian Dior mélange-effect flared dress and Givenchy shoes.
I have shopped so much and sneaked into Rheas wardrobe to try on her clothes so much that I can look at clothes and tell the brand. It’s almost as if I have a new talent.
Anyway Mr. Gill sits adjacent to me doesn’t make eye contact. Listening to songs on my earphones I let the family have their conversation.
Landing was tough the plane wobbled a lot but the ride was amazing. It felt as though we were floating on the clouds. I know, some may say plane is a plane, but this one had a lot of room space, could lay down if wanted, which I did and also walk around freely. It was a perfect ride.
We reached a private island. It was hot and I was sweating a lot all I wanted to do was have a cold shower.
To greet us the staff stood at the entrance with cold drinks and flowers. We each had different villas with a private butler and I got the villa at the entrance.
It was 13,000sq ft exclusive private island, with a Chef, private gym, spa and dive instructor and Four private pools. Yes, everything that you needed is readily available there.
Of the six villas, The Residence has a master bedroom in all the villas with a plunge pool on the upper balcony.
It’s sad that we leave tomorrow to meet the grooms family at their yacht.
After dinner I just walked down to the beach, we all had private beach access.
It’s a full moon night. After dinner I just sat at the balcony alone wondering how will Rhea react when she sees me. Why did she agree to marry this new guy? Was she romantically involved with Mike? What happened to him?
Wow, so many questions and I just couldn’t sleep, there were so many scenarios running in my mind.
Mona, call to check what will I be wearing tomorrow, to inform the time schedule.
I soon make my bed ready and go to sleep.
Early morning alarms are so irritating but necessary. I couldn’t be late or else the whole family would just blame me.
While we were heading out I saw a person who looked like Rhea perhaps from afar, but she was kind of droopy and slow. Rhea was a fire ball she would not be mellow like this.
Maybe I was mistaken.
Wearing a white kaftan, absolutely suited for this weather and a straw hat with black satin lace I was set for the day. I mean this is was expected to be worn in warm weather, right?
Wrong!!
Sheel was wearing Christian Dior spring suit with Hermes silver bag and Manolo Blahnik Ripta snake double band Mule slides.
I mean I was way under dressed, I mean I thought we were just going to meet some people.
Any way we were taken to the yacht in a boat. It was a 30 minutes ride.
At last we reach, this is not a yacht this is a super yacht. I definitely need to fine someone to marry me here , I want all this luxury for myself.
It’s not fair if I have to go back to live my boring life again. This , all this is very exciting.
We proceed to board the vessel and are giving a tour of the place. I mean it a power move for sure. It kind of makes everyone understand the place and understand the people we are dealing with.
“This is the NORMA” explained a staff member. “Spacious and modern, This yacht accommodates for up to 14 guests in six luxurious cabins including a stunning split-level owner’s suite. Her staterooms are light and open with a feel of quiet sophistication, pairing wood paneling with neutral furnishings and custom-made leather accent pieces.
Accessed by a private lobby, the full-beam owner’s suite is located on the main deck .Chic and contemporary, the vast cabin is filled with natural light and opens into a spa-style bathroom and adjoining dressing rooms.
A private staircase leads to a bar /study area on the upper deck with breathtaking views of the ocean.
The guest accommodation is made up of a VIP stateroom on the upper deck plus two double and two twin cabins on the lower deck.
NORMA also has a staff lounge/dining room and accommodation for a 12-person crew on the lower deck”.
“We are here available 24/7 for our guests and please make yourself comfortable, I will announce your presence to Mrs. Zacaria. Shouldn’t they be here to greet us already, I mean drinks and food is served in a hotel as well, that’s nothing special but....“Rhea” I exclaimed. Running to her, I hug her and kiss her on the forehead “how have you been?”.
She looks at me with a faint smiles.
“Are you ok?” I asked concerned.
Pulling me back , Mr. Gill says “She is fine just tired, don’t draw attention towards her.”
I walk back to where I was standing and the Zacharias walk in.
Mrs. Norma Zacaria and her son Dev.
