Chapter 1: Lost Love
When Amela was standing in her white dress wearing a veil in her head and holding a cute big bouquet mixed of lilac,rose,orchid,peony and hydrangea. She was not happy for her wedding cause she was betrayed as her marriage didn't happen. She sobbed and whimped and cried her heart out until she was breathless.That moment she said that "She would never believe in a man and in marriage" and promised herself she would never give her heart to any jerk. She said to herself that she is enough to take care of herself. But all day and night she pondered why would a man leave her after loving herself completely she judged her beautiful face,she thought her cute little eyes was never pretty enough to see any man's eyes anymore,she questioned her soft cherry lips for getting a sin of not kissing her man she loved. Her father was silent, restless as he couldn't do anything for her . Amela asked her father "Daddy! Am I not a good girl?" He replied with a pitiful tone "Oh my dear princess! I have a gold in my hand,but some soil doesn't doesn't deserve my gold to be seen or touched".
She was not consoled fully but her fathers words brought her warmth in her cold heart.The next morning she was getting ready to work her father as usual prepared her breakfast and lunch. She was packing her office bag to get off,while she was unplugging her laptop charger,her screan flashed by turning on and she found the wallpaper reminding her ex. She immediately sat down and changed her wallpaper to a new one . That wallpaper tempted her anger,her father silently noticed this from the door and went down to the dinning room sadly waiting for her to come down and take her lunch for work.
After taking her lunch and eating breakfast she went to her office. Her colleagues were starring at her in a sarcastic manner,their gaze made her feel uncomfortable but she bared just because she was getting paid well. Two months later she was still treated indifferently just because her marriage was called off. How much a young lady can bare the words others when she is already in pain. So she was tired of being treated like that and being kept alone with no friends, less work and delayed salaries? She finally gave up on the company and gave her resignation letter,her kind boss questioned her sudden action but she has no words to explain how she felt and said with a smile on her face "Life sometimes needs a change and going on the same path may lead to boredom". Her boss understood and left her in her way. But reminded her that she could come to work to his office anytime. She smiled again and nodded and left the room.
She was appointed as a finance analyst in a company's interview in Stamford,the most popular company in making alcohol beverages.She was happy that she was selected in one go but she accepted that company because of the signature product of the company,blueberry coastal wine . As it was her ex's favourite drink . She has seen him drink it many times whenever he is happy extremely.
The Ceo of the company stunned by her beauty and her perfection in her work. He wondered why she had resigned her job in a good company where she was in a high position. She even had good performance and no black mark or any bad name in her previous company. So he went gentle and kind in her . While she was hiding every single truth about her past life and having a new story for her new life.
Her assignments started simple and went busy,her works got loaded she stayed overnight to complete she never gave a thought about anything else,in fact she didn't get time to think about any but she always had a worried face made everyone think she was tired of her job and her colleagues suggested that to take a leave and said her to rest well-"Ah! You guys have mistaken I am not tired of my job,to be honest I really like my job and I enjoy doing work" her colleagues thought she was lying with a smile just to hide the fact.
That night she wondered that she shouldn't let her emotions affect others so she hid the fact that she was deeply hurt by a man whom she loved,she never had a friend or best friend to share her ups and downs in her life . One day she was sitting alone in a park watching kids play happily and feeling their true happiness. A girl came and introduced herself as " Excuse me miss,hello! I am jezelle,you can call me jess"
"Oh hi Ms.Jess, I am Amela,How can I help you ?"
Maybe I should ask you that question,you seem to be sad and alone."
"Oh no! it's not like that ju-just watching these beautiful kids play" Amela replied to Jess's question
Jess's husband Ben brought snacks for their picnic as jess and her husband was on picnic to park. A loud voice in a feet distance called "babe! Our spot is set, aren't you coming?" Jess yelled in a soft tone " coming honey! " And she invited Amela to the picnic and asked her to join for the day,at first Amela rejected because they strangers and they have come for a picnic and she doesn't wants to be a third wheel.
Jess forced her to come and had great feast and they three has a good conversation. While speaking Jess stated that she knew Amela before itself,it was quite shocking for Amela as she had never felt like seeing her before.So Amela asked Jess "Wai what!? Have we met before? And seriously I have no idea about we meeting each other." Jess said that " Yes, ofcourse we have met and I am not joking. Did you remember yourself visiting the Stamford museum two weeks before? Amela said with a sarcastic tone " Um,yes,Why? " Jess said - " You helped me with managing my work easier, actually I work in that museum..."
"So I helped you giving ideas on pasting new artworks and the arrangements? Was it really you! I didn't notice you were there. I was just helping the workers who were struggling to fix paintings over there ."
"Woah! I can really see your excitement in helping me" with a cheerful smile" and Ben listen to her wife speak happily and helping her new friend. And Suddenly Amela lost in her thoughts seeing Ben and Jess reminding Kendwell who called her marriage of. She then asked their love life. And Jess said that their marriage was an arranged marriage and was not a love marriage but she fell in love with him during her marriage and after her marriage until today and everyday she said- proud Ben smiling cutely and adoring his wify speak about him. They way Jess flexed her handsome man made Amela feel more depressed and off so she left from the place and went to her house locking her room crying wishfully .
Since she felt sad she read her mom's diary which had poems and letters to her father how broken she was,and found a poem she could related well- and it goes like this -
"I loved you like a hymn whispered at dusk,
faithful, trembling, endlessly forgiving.
You heard the melody but never the need,
let my longing fade between your pauses.
Now I gather the ruins of what we named forever,
cradling a love you forgot to tend.
I did not leave you behind—
you loosened your hands, and I fell. "
