Mr.Billionaire's Duplicate Bride

Chapter 6 : New Country , New Home

Rose’s POV :

Right now I am standing in front of the mirror ready to leave for America to start my job. I am wearing my favorite dress, which has a yellow floral design on light blue color. It falls a little lower to my knees, paired with a beige-colored flat. My hair is tied up in a fishtail braid.

 My look appears to be good and that gives me little confidence. But this doesn't help me as I am nervous as hell. I somehow don't feel good to leave my parents alone and go to some other country. But I am excited as well. Although my situation at this moment seems to be scary, it is motivating at the same time. I clutch my handbag that has my mobile and some money and descended the stairs. I saw my mum, dad, and Priyanka sitting in the living room, probably waiting for me. Seeing them sitting together discussing some topic, makes the images of our last few days, spent together, play in my brain.  

The past three days passed in a blinking like a short time. I have enjoyed myself a lot with my family and Priyanka too. She stayed with us the entire time and never left me alone. We both did a lot of crazy things together.

 She received a joining letter a day before yesterday. I was very happy for her but unfortunately, she can not come to America. But I am happy for her. For the past three days, we have been doing everything together like shopping, having dinner together, I mean everything. One day Priyanka took me to a mall for shopping and we bought almost everything that our eyes laid on. 

Before her joining letter came, she proposed an idea that she will accompany me to help me settle down properly and get used to my new routine. She was ecstatic to accompany me that she didn't even sleep that night. But the next day she received an email asking her to join on the same day as I was. 

It made her sad but being the optimistic one, she proposed a new idea that she would come to America as soon as she can and for that she will try her best to persuade her boss to let her join the company in America. She also joked that if her boss won't allow her then she is going to annoy him to that extent where he has to allow. And I don't doubt her ability to annoy anyone when she wants. 

I can still remember that day when we were sitting in a cafe near our college, when a boy, named Rahul, came and started to argue over some illogical topic. He just wanted to have our table and said that he chose it first, besides he neither left any of his belongings to indicate that it is occupied nor told the cafe staff. We were in a good mood that we didn't fight with him. But Priyanka irritated him, by talking something nonsense, till that extent here he has to leave the table. However, the next day he came to us apologizing for his mistake and thanking Priyanka for not breaking his bones. I can't even think of the consequences if that day we were not in good mood, Priyanka being the black belt one must have broken his bones. After that incident, he also became our friend. It was like a happy ending. 

" Hey Rose, you are ready. You look gorgeous. And what has made you smile like an i***t .? ", Priyanka chirped, while walking towards me. I didn't even realize that I have been smiling until she mentioned it. 

I smiled widely at them and said, " Oh ! It's nothing . And thanks for the compliment. By the way you are also looking great . ", she is wearing a black coat and pants with a white shirt, leaving her hairs to fall freely. 

" Oh don't you think that I look great all the time . ", her lips lifted from one side, and a perfect smirk formed on her perfect pouty lips. 

"So full of yourself ", I punched her on her arm chuckling. 

We walked towards the living room where mom and dad are sitting. I find them standing up with smiling faces. Their eyes shining with happiness. " Mum, dad are you two ready ? ", I asked them, standing in front of them. " Yes my girl, we are ready. We are going to accompany you to the airport . ", dad replied while engulfing me in an embrace. He detangled his arms around me and took hold of my shoulders giving them a reassuring squeeze. "I am so proud of you my child. You have always given me reasons to be a proud father. From being a prudent student to a beautiful and kind-hearted girl. I'm proud of you. Even in the company, you are going to be a good employee, a leader, a good colleague, and a friend as well. Our Angels will always be with you . ", patting my head lovingly, moved aside to wipe his unshed tears.

" Dad this is all that I have learned from you guys. You two taught me to be a kind person. You two have always been my inspiration . ", I hugged him back and with one hand I engulfed mom as well. 

" Stop being emotional guys otherwise tears will start flowing from This gorgeous Iron lady's eyes . ", Priyanka said dramatically wiping tears, making us laugh.

Meanwhile, we heard a car honk from outside letting us know that our cab has arrived. We took the luggage and put it in the trunk. Dad settled on the passenger seat while mum and I settled down in the back seat. Priyanka will be taking another cab because the airport and her office are in opposite directions. She waved at us smiling and the car sped up. I was able to see a few tears in her eyes. And I know the reason. She must be missing her family. Her parents don't give her much time as they were expecting a boy rather than a girl. Her father is a businessman always has the excuse of being busy and her mother always keeps herself busy with her friends just to pretend that she is busy. Since our childhood, she has always been with me as a sister. She finds a mother and a father in my parents. With this, my mind goes on wandering on different things.

" Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the Fasten Seat Belt sign. For your safety Air India, requires that you fasten your seat belts at all times while seated . ", the flight attendant announced that ushered everyone to buckle up their seat belts, including me also. 

It has been an hour since I boarded the airplane. Mom and dad went home after I took my seat. They were happy and so I am. Priyanka reached her company on time and told me that Mr. Leonardo is her boss. She said that he seems to be a cool guy, rest is on time. She talked to me for a few more minutes until she was called to attend a meeting. In the last she wished me a happy journey and that I will also get a good boss. 

I am happy and excited as well. A bit nervous as well but the excitement has covered all my fears. My thoughts started to wander on about my future boss when I felt the plane slightly taking off. I looked out of the window and saw we are rising above gradually. The houses, animals, trees are looking like ant-sized which makes me smile unknowingly. Gradually the plane crossed the clouds and now I can see the clouds under the plane. This view gives me a feeling like cotton is lying on the big ground and I am walking on it. The view outside is very peaceful. I inhale a deep breath and close my eyes to sleep. The flight time is very long, what am I gonna do? So I decided to sleep as I am feeling tired as well. 

When it felt like hours I opened my eyes slowly. Taking my full time to open them. I don't want to rush myself whenever I get up. I took out m mobile from my handbag and found that there is still enough time for me. I felt a little thirsty so I asked the flight attendant to bring me some water. When she came back after some time, I noticed that my right side seat is empty, where a man was sitting. He was around 27 and was dead serious all the time. So I dared not to talk with him. I drank the water and felt the liquid flowing down my throat, and that felt good. By the time I finished the full glass I started feeling hungry. So I asked the air hostess to bring me some food. Today I am in the mood for some spicy food so I ordered an Indian vegetarian meal. The food was good or it appeared to be tasty to the hungry me, but its taste was good, as per my taste.

Few more hours went like this but you can get easily bored on sixteen to seventeen hours long flight. However I was in no mood to watch any show or study anything, but I had to. I chose a magazine from my bag, to read it. It was Pratiyogita Darpan, the number one leading magazine for competitive exams in India. It is a really good magazine to prepare for competitive exams. Besides that, it also gives you knowledge. It summarizes all the events that happened in the previous month in one single magazine. So I just read it and found It very interesting. 

" Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the Fasten Seat Belt sign. For your safety Air India, requires that you fasten your seat belts at all times while seated. The plane is Landing . ", the announcement made me realize that I have read the magazine for the past few hours, and now is the time to land. I fastened my seat belt. The plane started to dip gradually. Slowly the plane landed at the New York airport and we got out of the plane. I collected my bags and went out towards the taxi area. Mrs. Fitzgerald has told me that she has already booked a taxi for me. So right now I am waiting for it. 

Soon a taxi stopped in front of me. The driver darted his head out and asked me, " Are you, Miss Rose Green ? ".

"Yeah, I am. Are you Mr. Oliver ? ", I asked him just to confirm that he is the same driver that Mrs. Fitzgerald appointed. 

" Yes, miss. Mrs.Fitzgerald has sent me here to take you to your apartment. Give me your luggage, I will put it in the trunk. You can take your seat . ", he took my luggage after giving me a small smile. He put the luggage, meanwhile, I took my seat. The driver sped up the car after coming back to his seat. 

I recalled informing mom. So I dialed her number and it started to ring. " Hello . ", I heard her sweet voice from the other side.

" Hello mom, I have landed safely . ", I informed her. 

" Are you in your apartment ? ". 

" Not yet. I am in cab. " 

 " Okay. So when you reach your apartment call me again. Okay ? ", she ordered me. 

"Okay mom I'll . ", she accepted her order and smiled, even knowing that she won't be seeing it. 

" Rose dear I'll talk to you later. Your dad and I are going to attend a function. We are already late. Bye, dear. Take care . ", she told me. 

"Okay mom bye . ", I hung up the call. 

I took a deep breath, turned my face sideways to look out of the window. It's evening time here and I can see the sun setting behind the huge glass windows. Its reflection falling on their glass taking the mesmerizing scene to another level. Red shade mixing with the yellow one. Some birds flying in the evening sky to return to their nests. Nature is so beautiful. 

I was admiring the scene in front of my eyes when the car came to halt. 

"Mam we have reached your destination. I'll bring your luggage inside . ", the driver said and stepped out. I got out and felt a refreshing breeze hitting me. I inhaled the fresh air to fill my lunges up to the brim.  

I entered the house in front of me following Mr. Oliver. The house has a grey and white color theme. It has a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen, furniture preinstalled. It is on the ground floor. I guess there will be more on the upper floor as well.  

"Mr. Oliver, Is this all for me? I mean this whole house ? ", I asked him but my eyes still on the beautiful house for me. 

" Yes miss Green. These are the keys to the apartment. I'll come in the morning to take you to the company. Will ten be Okay ? ", he asked me as he handed me the keys. 

" Okay. But from where I am supposed to have my food? Do I have to cook or ... ". 

Before I could complete my words he interrupted me " There is a maid for all your works. She will handle everything, you just have to give a command. Her name is Sheena. Right now she is gone to the grocery store to buy vegetables for your dinner. "

I just nodded thinking they have done so much for me. 

" Miss Green, Now I would like to take my leave. You can rest till Sheena comes . ", he said and I nodded in response. 

" But how am I going to recognize her ?", I asked suddenly. 

" Oh! You will know it . ", he said chuckling and walked out of the house. 

" Hmm, New country, new home . ", I turned around and said to myself. I decided to rest till Sheena comes. I entered the bedroom and slept.
