"Man, it's right next door", I said to the public transportation I took. The taxi stopped at a medium-sized house with a green garden around it. It's really beautiful in the province, if only there were no demons in this house I might have a chance to stay.
The whole house is also arranged for the wedding later. There are white flowers coming into the house and something else.
"Thank you", I thanked after the driver dropped off my suitcases. I just held my stomach where nothing was swelling yet but I was happy that after two weeks I found out that the insemination I did was fruitful and successful. I just smiled while rubbing my stomach.
I'm sorry baby if I'm using you for protection so that animal doesn't try to pig me out again.
"Ariella! Is that you? You are so white and so beautiful”, an old woman ran to me from the yard next to our house.
"Manang Opheng, how are you?" I happily greeted him and was greeted with a tight hug.
"I'm fine. Oh, you're so big. I remember you were only going to be this big." He described while raising his hands at the same level as his waist.
"Hahahaha yes it is. Come to the house and let's just talk there." I begged him but he just shook his head and refused.
"Oh dear, you are the only one who visited me. I still have a lot to do." He tried to smile but I knew there was another reason so I just let him go.
"All right. As long as there's a good pickle, manang."
"You still haven't really changed. But just a reminder, be careful." He said meaningfully which made my smile disappear.
"Is something bad still happening in this house?" I asked out of curiosity but his face showed doubt.
"Ariella! You just arrived, you're already gossiping. Get your stuff in here and the guests are starting to arrive for later. ” My mother was hostile. No hello or anything. Gap immediately. We didn't see each other for ten years, but the greeting was a shout. Haysst.
"Alright man, the dragon has sounded. Don't worry, I will visit you before I go home." I winked at him before saying goodbye and started pulling the suitcase beside me.
"It's good that you thought of going home. Well, you've been gone for 10 years. You don't even visit me here." He was stunned.
"Today at three o'clock in the afternoon your brother's wedding, so get ready. It's two o'clock" he added before turning away from me. See, what a mother she is. I wasn't even asked if I was okay or how was my trip, tss.
I just carried my suitcase up the stairs to organize myself. As I looked around the house, the memories of the past came back. I miss my father. I miss my whole happy family.
"It's good to see you back", a baritone voice brought me back to reality.
"It was a few hours before your wedding but you really took the time to welcome me. You are really kind Jason.” I answered back sarcastically. Huh, like father like son. I can't accept that he is my half brother.
"Hahahaha, you're still the same as before. I thought you had changed." He eyes me while leaning against the wall wearing his black tuxedo. Jason is handsome. Tall, white, muscular build and perfect face.
"I'm out of time sister. I need to go to church.” He smiled before waving his hand and leaving.
Ha! Did I say I was going to their church wedding? No, they are stiff. I'm too tired so I'll just sleep here in my old room.
….
"Daria Ariella Veil! Wake up there! After you didn't attend the wedding ceremony earlier, you still won't get up for your brother's wedding celebration! Don't try me, you child! You're overdoing it!”
Arghhhh, I grabbed all the pillows and covered them over my ears. It's so noisy! I tossed and turned in my bed trying to find the courage to get up but there was none. The bed is pulling me. This feels home.
"Ariella!" I heard a crash and silence followed.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" I just screamed when suddenly someone pulled my leg. I removed the pillows from my head and saw mom.
"Mom!" I grumbled but I only felt the pain in my head. Why, I got hit!
"Get up there and get ready. At least show yourself to our relatives and the girl's family." He also cracked. Arghhh, when will he stop? I frustratedly pulled my hair and raised up.
"Okay fine." I answered calmly before entering the bathroom. I made my daily routine which took half an hour. I'm not an important person so even if it's late, maybe it's okay.
I rummaged through my suitcase to get what I wanted to wear. Thanks to them, I prepared.
I slid my dress on my body that perfectly fits my curves. It is a long black backless dress up to my ankles but there is a slit on the side that reaches my thigh. Yes black, because I sympathize with them. Don't get me wrong, Jason and his father are the same. They made my younger self traumatic and full of nightmares so now it's time for revenge.
I just let my wavy hair down that almost reached my waist. I clipped a few stray hairs to the side of my right ear. I also put on red lipstick and daring make-up. Then I put on my black stilettos and was ready to go.
I walked to the back of the house where the garden was where the current wedding party was being held.
I walk confidently while approaching the venue with many flowers, minilights and chairs and tables arranged. The center has a large space for those who want to dance. My upper lip rose at the sight. They seemed to pay a lot for this.
I walk directly to the wedding and plinaster my sinister smile.
"Hi, congratulations to both of you." I even widened my smile and kissed Jason's now wife. Not bad, she looks like a rich girl.
