Chapter 15 WHO THE MONSTER WAS!

MIA POV: ' We are getting the late girl. Hurry up. These were the voices I have been listening to for the past hour. I really can t believe that the girl who never goes to college at the time even on final exams is so excited and worried to be at the time in a wedding party where she doesn t even know anyone at all. Yet here I am suffering from her loud voice lecturing me from outside. Or maybe I can say why she is acting like this. I don t want to ask her until she tells me on her own. As I don t want her to feel any type of pressure or second-hand embarrassment on this. While its almost very clear that she started developing feelings for my dear friend Italo over these days. But I don t want her to end up like me. Not knowing anything about the person she likes so much. And the finding of their relationship through some type of accident on road. How heart broke she will be if something like this happens. But if she keeps giving me these signs then I will make sure to see how things are going on Italo's side and find a way to help her get her love on all conditions if Italo will also feel the same. Because I believe if two people love each other then no one can separate them. And no one should separate them. But in the meantime, I fear one-sided love as well. Where you keep loving a person insanely and end up seeing them get along with a third person. But still, you wish they stay happy for the rest of their lives. As even if they can t be with you yet any part of them hurt will only make you sad in return as well. And just thinking about all this I forgot about these maniac shootings and how I have been drying my right aside hairs for the past few minutes and my left side is still wet. I changed the direction of the dryer and started praying I will succeed in getting ready on time today. because the lioness sitting outside will surely eat me along with my bones today if I don t make it in time today. I also don t want to lose an opportunity to have fun as well. As nothing is more fun-filled than traditional weddings. And the photographs taken of happy faces are just cherry on top. I can t wait to take this chance to steal hundreds of beautiful pictures today but of course, ask for their permission as well. I walked out in my robe only to meet with her glaring eyes. I gave her a nervous smile back but her facial expressions seemed they weren t in for a smile at all. But for how long will she decide to stay angry with me. As I know very well that she can t survive without talking to me for more than a few minutes. ' You know very well how to take advantage of me. She said surprising me n the process. When did I take advantage of her all this time? ' What do you mean by saying all this? I asked confused on hearing her words. ' You make me angry and then act as nothing happened. And then you know I can t live without talking to you so you keep making me angry all the time. She said making a pout showing her harmless anger. How cute she is. I am so lucky to have this joker as my best friend. ' Okay. I am sorry. I will try not to do it next time. But trust me we will be able to make it on time there. I said trying to take away her leftover anger before she starts telling everyone how cruel I am making her said pout and I wonder if anyone would believe me later after seeing her like this. ' Okay let me help you. But did you decide to leave before the vacations end? she asked reminding me of a few days earlier. FLASHBACK: I couldn t believe what I have just gone through in one single day. Why did he always say he was a single man when he was already seeing someone? Maybe he didn t want to be bothered about his personal life that much. And here I was the fool one falling for a man like him. I never liked a single boy in my whole life. And this time it wants even just a random person. He was the heartthrob of the whole town. And God knows how many other people. ' I decided we will go back after the wedding party, I said knowing I wasn t much happy being here this time as well. I don t know why I decided to do this. And Lea was not much happy after hearing about this. But I had no choice left. I also can t let her get used to her and she will also end up missing this place and people like I used to do earlier. And once you start missing someone things don t stay that easier for you to deal with. ' Well. As long as you are happy. I am happy to be with you. Lea replied and gave a tight hug before leaving. Maybe she agreed only because she was also aware of my feelings right now. I feel so embarrassed for acting like a fool like this. ' What are you thinking princesses? daddy asked making me out of my thoughts. ' Nothing much. I just told lea that I want to go back earlier before the planned time. I said knowing he will agree with me as well. ' If it s because of my work then… I had a hunch daddy will take it on him but I stopped him by saying no more. ' No, it s not dad. It's just I am lacking too many things here. And I want to get pre classes to stay on top of my class after returning earlier. It was a lie. But the best thing I could give him was a reason to make him believe everything. ' Whatever my princesses want. Daddy said like always. He is truly the one and only person in the world I love the most. I love grandma and Lia but I love him the most. FLASHBACK ENDS: ' Finally, you are a ready girl. I heard Lea and looked at myself in the mirror. Her make-up and hairstyle skills were amazing. And the dress suited me as well. For a moment I couldn t believe how changed I looked but pleasingly. ' Let s go before we miss the entry time, I said teasing her in the process. She slapped my arm lightly showing her small tantrum and we went to the wedding venue along with daddy and Grandma in our car. ' Look at this girl. I ve never seen her before. Mrs. sus compliment sounded too open that it even made me blush right at the moment. She is such a kind lady. After grandma, she was the lady who never let me miss my mother whenever I used to come back here. It was such a great time back then. After meeting everyone I went to a higher spot trying to take a good picture. I must say it was a very beautiful view from this place. Before I could take the picture, I felt someone tap my shoulder. ' You look stunning my… I couldn t hear him properly as the loud sound of music behind me didn t let his sound reach my ears ' I DIDN T HEAR YOU CLEARLY, I said in a loud voice to make him hear me. ' I THINK WE NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE QUIET THEN. He said in response. ' Let s go then, I said following him. I feel so bad as a friend not finding the right time to spend much time with him. finally, we could make it to a little quieter place outside. I looked at him inquiringly to find the reason why we're out like this. ' I wanted to tell you this for a very long time. I wonder what he wants to tell me. As it is rare for this boy to become this serious in his whole lifetime. But seeing this change I was very impressed. Just praying it will not turn out to be a prank or something like that. I nodded my head telling him to continue what he wants to tell me. ' I love you, Mia Massimo. And want to marry you. I questioned my ears for what they just heard. Because I know no matter how naughty and playful his personality he has. He is not the one to flirt around like that. But no matter what is the case just now. I can t say yes to him. because I always looked at him as a brother and a friend. Going out with him was a big no, no for me. ' I also love you as… I said feeling bad for turning him bad but my sentence wasn t even completed when he was out of my sight. I saw henry grabbing him by his neck while his feet weren t touching the ground. Dis he mistook him for flirting or misbehaving with me. ' How dare you try this all? he sounded weird. Not like usual. But soon he started debating Italo very badly. ' Please let go of him. HENRY. I said frightened to see what was happening right now. ' HOW DARE YOU SET YOUR EYES ON HER, BOY. This wasn t how he used to speak. What was wrong with him. ' Please let him go, I begged him to see him beating Italo like that. ' I love her so what you crazy man. Why was Italo making him even angrier? I ran towards them as they were going further away while fighting. Well, it was more like Henry beating Italo very badly. I lost my power to say anything seeing henry change into a hideous monster. It was all real. There was a monster out there. And it was none other than henry. I fell on my knees seeing him change into that scary thing. I couldn t believe anything right now. ' Run away Mia… I heard Italo plead in his light voice. Soon everything around me started getting dark and not know when I lost my complete consciousness. I felt a hand shaking my arm continuedly and gave up ending in opening my eyes. ' What happened Mia? daddy asked worried while I found myself back in my room laying on my bed. ' I-I… there was this… mons… I was saying these random words when I saw henry come inside. Looking at him I recalled everything that just happened right now. ' She just suffered a shock. She must rest and let her nerves calm down before she gets a panic attack again. There was someone in a white clock. A doctor probably said all this. ' This medicine will help her rest. No. why is this doctor coming near me? I started seeing black dots once again after he injected that injection in the IV. ' She will get well after some good sleep. I heard this voice before it all became silent. ' Mi Amore… I heard a husky voice singing a song. What was going around? I opened my eyes to see my room dark. What time was it? But it was not the only question right now. ' You are up, mate. I heard a familiar voice sitting beside me on the bed. It wasn t that scary monster this time. I saw henry sitting here. But was there any difference in them now. I saw him turning into that scary monster with my own eyes earlier. ' You stay away. You are that monster. You hurt… I started speaking everything and still can t believe what all happened earlier.
