S.O.N.I.A
The Bible always tells us, light and darkness can never become one, yet we humans live amongst bloodsucking, vampires, backstabbing, demons, who aim at nothing but destroy the life of innocent prey.
This isn't a story by which the boy meets a girl and they live happily ever after, but one, whereby the hopes of a dreamful lady gets dashed to the ground, by people whom she trusted so much, at the end gets her killed.
STORY
(Inaudible conversation)
"Elena, please come here".: Mom calls out, after taking note of my feet ambling upstairs to my room.
"Yes ma'am?" I redirected my steps back to the living room and caught a hot full tension between her and aunt Stella, perched there, she says, "have a sit, Elena, because you must do so?". ( Sat down next to her).
"So! What's going on?" I implored lowering a confused look on my face, "I'll tell you "! Mom directly nails my attention back to her. (proceeds further)
"Dear!! You do know your dad, isn't her anymore right?". ( Waits for my response, thus I cackled my head and answered, "yes mom!! What gives, you're scaring me".
"There's nothing to be scared of dear, it's just that since you're going to be clocking twenty-five, I believe it's time to fulfill your father's last wish".
Mom's words made no sense to me, "what last wish mom?". I inquired, while she gets up from the couch and took a sealed envelope from the table, and returned it to me.
"That's your dad's last wish, written inside this envelope" ( she passed over to me, with so much curiosity going on, I tore the envelope open and read through it.
Thus a while later, our eyes meet, "I'll have to get married?" ( I yelled out astonished by it).
"Yes dear and please don't refuse your father". ( Mom pleads, but to me, it was emotional blackmail).
I had no choice, it was either, I get the disappointing look, or make sure that the death wish of my father, gets fulfilled by getting married to a man, I do not even love or know anything about.
"When do we meet?" ( My reply plastered an excited glare on her face, she takes a step closer and placed a kiss on my cheeks).
"Thank you my dear and yes!!! You both will meet, in two days, at your twenty-fifth birthday party". ( Drops a smile on her face).
I copied the same glare on and left in the direction closets to my room, the door gets shuts from behind, with my back place on it.
(Mind rumbling around).
Mom's words kept ringing back like a raging storm, will I be getting married to a man, who doesn't love me, neither do I?. Is this Father's last wish?. ( Contemplating to myself, as I went further to get ready for work).
(Hart's cooperation)
After a few minutes drive, I got into the company, and head on straight to my office, "hello, my best friend". A feminine voice lets out from behind, I shifted my attention and meet a familiar face standing with a smile on.
"Hello Miranda, what's going on?". The glare on my face signaled something was wrong, she fills up the left space between us and anxiously inquired about my dull attitude.
"Elena!!! Are you okay? Why are you sad?" ( A sad moment drops on as I told on the truth)
"What?" She flipped out in a shocked tone.
"How's that possible!!! I thought, uncle's will was read to you, how come, all of a sudden, he has a last dying wish?.".
