Year -2002 BRIANA HEMSWORTH □□□ I sit in the front row ,holding on to my mother's hand so tight that I'm afraid to let her go I never imagined that one day we will be facing this When your father smile is limited to the picture they have hung in front of you Its not one of those happy celebrations but it's a day to mourn someone who gave you their best part My father But he will forever be alive in our hearts I smile as the priest calls out my name taking a deep breathe inspite of the nervousness inside me . . Walking towards the podium I give a big smile at my mother who is sitting in front of the crowd Giving me a nod to go ahead Past few days haven't been well We never even expected, any of these We weren't prepared to face this loss But i guess life is all about the things you aren't expecting I remember ,wishing my father a good morning before i left for school But when i returned home, he was announced dead The cardiac arrest was not something we expected,his busy life Not giving much necessary attention to his health took his life away But he lived his life, to the fullest Every day working on his dreams more than himself. "Good morning to everybody present here. my family and I cannot thank you all enough for being here Your presence, really matters to us In the times like this Today when I look back , it feels like everything is a dream that will soon be over. But this is life. I remember talking to my father ,his plans about our Hemsworth Company and how eager he was to know my plans for college The subjects I'll choose , the college I'll pick My prom ,my graduation He was very excited for me more than I can ever be ,he was a man who wanted to live his best life at the same time provide the best possible life for his family I could have never asked for a better father But it's very unfortunate that , …( my voice cracks as I shut my eyes tight not wanting to cry in front of the huge crowd as I stick my head down ) That he isn't here with us But ….( blinking the small tear, I finally Find the strength to speak further as I lick my dry lips ) He will forever live in our hearts And we all will celebrate his memories " Finishing my words i take a step back as I take one more glance at him He had a most beautiful smile All the guests start walking towards my mom Giving her, there condolences And excusing myself from the crowd ,I take a walk towards the small garden behind the church My father always wanted me to be a strong women who was capable to make her own choices He always told me , your my strength And he was mine But he isn't anymore I'm seventeen, still in school but I know everything about his business Because he made sure I attended all the general meeting, meet his partners He was proud to take me around to various countries ,show me how his business worked But then it was all a trip Few days off from my school But now, those are the memories I'll cherish for my life " Bri ?" I turn around as I hear a familiar voice "Vincent?" My eyes go wide as I see him Vincent Steinberg Steinberg's are our family friends Me and Vincent grew up together for almost my entire childhood ,until couple of years ago as he decided to leave to college After that we lost our connection Vincent was always like a brother I wish I had who was a constant support to my family but ,the night before he left he paid me a last visit And…..he stole my first kiss After that I thought about us  ,where we weren't just friends  Maybe we can date but …….he was gone  The kiss was two years ago  After the kiss we never met or saw each other Somewhere when I remember my childhood I'll never forget how much I loved him But…life happened He was absent for all the thanksgiving ,Christmas, new years eve Which our families celebrated together "You are  here " my voice cracks as I rush towards him Throwing myself into his arms He holds me tight, as he embraces me His hands ,caress my head as I break down into tears in his arms "Its okay Briana I'm very sorry about the loss " he whispers as he plants a soft kiss on my head Without uttering a word, I just hold him Tight It feels like ages since we saw each other And somewhere I feel awful when I always think about the kiss we shared Like I remember every single detail about that night But we weren't meant to be together He knows it too that's why he didn't try to reach me atleast once in this two years "Thanks for coming It really mean a lot " I wipe my tears as I take a step back "Don't be silly I'll always be there for you Briana " Vincent takes a step forward as his hands come over my shoulders like he wants to tell me something "Briana?" I hear Raphael's voice in distance Raphael, my boyfriend "Yes " I ask arching my brow "Guests are waiting for you Let's go " he speaks , as he waves at Vincent Saying a hi "Okay Just a minute " I sigh ,as I turn back towards Vincent "I need to go " Vincent nods , as I speak "I'll see you around " I squeeze his hands And he gives me another nod As I turn around to leave "I'm happy you came " I add quickly "Me too " Vincent gives me a half smile , as Raphael comes over and takes my hand along with his , leading me back . . . "Are you okay ?" I hear Raphael's voice as he stops at his step Asking me , worriedly "I'll be " I give him a smile As I go on toes and kiss his lips "I'm here with you okay?" "Your not alone baby I'm with you " he adds, as he pulls me into a hug "I know " I add , as I rest my head against his chest I'm happy atleast I have a loving boyfriend and my mother who means the world to me I don't wish much All I wish is to have my father's blessing and a happy ,simple life with my love and my mother "I love you " I smile Finally,a smile from within me Which isn't forced "You will never know How much I love you baby " Raphael gives me a stern look ,as he squeezes my face As he kisses my lips "Make me know " I add between our kisses "Yeah ?" He arches a brow as he gives me a teasing smile And i feel my cheeks going red as he pulls me closer His hands starts to trail behind my back We have been dating from past one year and I could have never asked for a better boyfriend than Raphael He is very passionate ,caring and he is just is perfect for me And he loves me very deeply that he is never going to hurt me even by a eye blink He always puts me first than his own needs He is very selfless and somewhere even if I had given a choice If Vincent wanted me , after that kiss Still i would have chosen Raphael Because what we share is eternal Our attraction was instant ………..
