Third person's POV-
The day was neither very sunny, nor very stormy, the wind was blowing with its pace, and along with it blowing the hair of a beautiful Amelia sitting on the bench in her mansion's garden.
She was reading a book, like always.
A maid entered her sanctuary and cleared her throat, Amelia knew the time, when she was going to get a glass of juice sent by her mother, setting the book aside, she looked up to the maid with her dark brown colored eyes, smiling brightly.
It was not a new thing for the staffs to see, Amelia was kept out of the cruel world outside, despite being the child of a multi-millionaire and that too, a single child, and she was home-schooled.
People thinks that she was trapped in that big mansion, but the truth if you ask from the maids and herself, you will get to know how many places have she visited, but then again, if she would have visited then she must have known what the cruelty of world is?
But to a problem there's always a solution, she always went to places in a supervision, either with mom or dad, her parents loved her from the heart, she was provided with every single thing she demanded for, but she was not a demanding type of person, she was kind and gentle, loving and caring, unknown to the evil world, yet the most beautiful soul ever known.
The maid was an old lady in her fifties.
Amelia shifted in the bench and created enough space for her to settle, and patted the place. Smiling warmly the lady sat on the blank space beside her.
Here starts the daily routine.
"Good morning Mandy." Amelia greeted the lady in her soft, cute and innocent voice.
"Good morning to you too sweetheart." The old woman replied.
"Here take this." She encouraged the glass of juice towards Amelia.
"Which one today?" Amelia asked, her voice full of excitement and joy.
"Umm." The lady tapped her chin indicating that she was thinking.
"That's for you to find out sweetie." She said, earning a giggle from the innocent one sitting beside her.
Amelia sipped the juice and her eyes brightened, the girl was truly very innocent, at the age of 21, when you are provided everything in a silver spoon, you are expected to be snobbish and very that type of person who flaunt, but neither she saw these things ever in her life, nor experienced.
Like her, her father was also a single child, so no siblings from father's child. From mother's side, mother never ever allowed the snobbish children to meet her naïve one.
So she never experienced, even the maids were treated like friends by her parents.
"Pomegranate." She exclaimed with utter joy and jumped happily. Bouncing her shoulder length hair and the cute sundress she was wearing.
Both the ladies giggled and after some time Amelia settled on the bench besides the lady, Mandy.
"So, how is Katy?" she asked Mandy, Katy is the second grand-daughter of Mandy, mere 2 years old, she sometimes came to meet Amelia, surely no doubt, Amelia adored children.
She even wondered if she would ever have a child.
"She is naughty like you." Mandy said and pinched her cheeks. In reply Amelia giggled hard along with Mandy.
Soon the normal chit chat, began between them. After some time, the sound of a honk from the drive way was heard, indicating the arrival of someone.
In a mere span of two minutes, a lady with dark brown hair almost similar to Amelia. And her warm light brown eyes very hypnotizing.
She forced herself between the two sitting on the bench and sandwiching herself between the two already seated people.
She encircled her hands around their neck and pressed a kiss, first on Amelia then on Mandy's head.
The actions shown by Amelia's mother always taught her, that no matter what the person do, or ever did to you, you must never leave your nature of loving people, and treat everyone with love.
She learned the things which seems very small, but held the big morals of life from her four walled sanctuary called home.
"Hello my favorite ladies." Mary, Amelia's mother, chirped and the they all giggled after the little giggling session ended, the aura suddenly became very serious, the serious environment, not being able to handle Amelia decided to break the silence.
"Mom, everything alright." She asked her voice laced with concern.
Suddenly the lady, which sandwiched herself purposely to sit between them crouched before Amelia. And took her hands in her. And looked at her with warm, hope filled eyes.
"What happened mum?" Amelia asked now with genuine curiosity.
"Honey you trust mum and dad?" she asked Amelia.
"Mum I trust to from here to the moon, then back to here." She said standing up and then touched the ground and pointed to the sky, then again touched the ground.
All the three ladies erupted in soft giggles, watching the childish behavior of Amelia.
"But, seriously mum, what is the matter, you look... different." she said observing her face.
"Honey what you will say if we say that you are going to get married." She said cautiously, knowing about her sensitive child.
The very first reaction she gave was confused and then she blushed about the thought of being married and living a lovely life like her mother and father. And then she smiled brightly at her mum.
"Mum, I would be very happy, knowing that you used your precious time finding a perfect groom for me then I am ready, to marry anyone. Because I know you both will always hope for my best." The little words of the naïve Amelia brought tears in the two ladies' eyes. This behavior or one can say the feeling of selflessness was the most beautiful thing Amelia carried, and made everyone in love with her.
"Then honey. I am happy. Because we made a good decision." Her mother said.
The confusion brought a frown on her face, which was very rare.
"What does it mean mum?" she asked.
"You are getting married!" she chirped. Amelia at the thought of being married blushed and hugged her mother.
"Is it a yes honey?" her mother asked.
Not believing her words she nodded her head in her shoulder.
Her mother tightly wrapped her arms around her and then they all celebrated the day.
Later she got to know that the marriage is been held in just three days.
Little did she know?
Little did.
