A Beauty In The Garden...

Peter was feeling restless since that day.. It was the first time he saw so many people laughing at him.. The memories of that day kept on flashing before his eyes.. He wanted to get hold of that girl and smash her, erase her existence. But all his efforts were in vain. He had already secretly searched all the waiters that worked at Mrs Mathew's. No one resembled that hated figure. He only remembered her eyes in particular, it had swift change of emotions, confusing his thoughts.. Her arrogant departure from the party had made a huge sensation.. Though he had tried his best to prevent the media outbreak, many knew it already making life difficult for Peter.

Mark was feeling the heated air too.. He knew something bad had happened at Mrs Mathew's party but he dared not ask his boss. His boss might fume up or may even dismiss him..

He really felt miserable being not be of any help.. A few papers flew over from his boss's desk towards his legs.. He collected them and noticed that it were all drawings of a girl.. He knew that his boss loved to do paintings in his spare time, but today it was different. He drew those at an extremely angry pace.. The picture more looked like a guy's rather than a girl's.. It had a short ruffled hair and had a haughty and scornful attitude in the face.. The eyes.. it was the only different thing that was odd one here... it looked beautiful and timid.. But each paper that he saw had slightly different expressions of the same girl.. Mark could easily guess that this girl could have made his boss unhappy.. And he could study plainly from Peter's features that she was gonna pay hard for it..

Mark thought of going to Mrs Mathew's place.. He will find out the cause that had disturbed his boss.. He already have heard a few gossips of his boss getting insulted by some low class girl and the image he saw in his boss's desk could be hers.. He could help his boss find this girl..

Bella was planning on how to apologize to Mrs Mathew, but at last decided to go and find her clothes and return the uniform in a plain normal expression.. Luckily, Mrs Mathew had not informed Annie of yesterday's happenings and Bella was thankful to the lady for that.. But she still did not wish everyone to recognize her disabilities and do pity on her..

Her wig was dripping wet after yesterday's rain.. It was heavy due to so much of water in it that she decided not to wear it.. She did not have a dried out dress too since one of her dresses were at Mrs Mathew's place... She took out an old frock that was thrown by her aunt since it had too many holes.. She mended and worn it since she had no other options.. It was tight and fit and was clearly showing off her entire features.. She was determined to get rid of this cloth as soon as she returned with her old one. She looked through a broken mirror hanging in her storeroom.. Her thick black hair had extended till her knees.. She looked pretty and soft, like a person who could easily get broken... She immediately took an old cap that was abandoned a long time ago by her sister in the storeroom and tried to hide her entire hair.. She managed it somehow after a lot of struggle.

Looking hard and tough, she set out to Mrs Mathew's mansion preparing herself for the worst..

Mrs Mathew was busy and she barely noticed Bella.. As soon as she saw Bella, she poured out a mouthful of yellings which Bella couldnt pick out before resuming her work.. Bella spotted her dress in the corner of the servant's room and quickly grabbed it.. As soon as she placed the uniform in a rack nearby, she ran out from that place as fast as her legs could take her..

Bella made sure no one was watching her and rushed to the garden.. She took out the photograph that was given to her by the gardener. Sitting on the grass she glanced at the photo, waiting for the old gardener.

It was past an hour and there was no sign of the gardener.. the hair she barely managed to tug up inside the cap was coming out, making her feel unsafe, but she decided to wait for a little more time..

Mark decided not to meet Mrs Mathew directly. He could not get into in the name of his boss and he was not that well known to meet Mrs Mathew personally..

So he met with few of her friends and servants and gathered up the information. He was really impressed by the magnificent mansion.. There was a fountain that opened into an enormous garden. He stealthily slipped into the garden.. It was the most beautiful sight he saw before his eyes.. The tiny little herbs to the enormous granpa trees, everything were trimmed and maintained at its best.. The colorful view of the rarest and prettiest of flowers added on with its fragrance gave an enchanting feeling to Mark..

Mark was giving a grand feast to his eyes..

Mark was startled to see a beautiful figure sitting on the grass alongside an artificial stream.. She had perfect long hairs and she was taking her part in increasing the charm of the garden.. She looked like an angel in a fairyland in a snowy white frock with an old pink shade.. He strained hard to view her completely, walking closer and closer.. He was making an audible sound now walking through the grass and the girl did not even stir from her place..

He could see her breathing and she was blinking her eyes rhythmically... so she was real,.. he found his heart pounding..

She was holding a photograph and looking at it deeply as if conversing with the people in it..

Her eyes, it looked so familiar, he felt like there were a sea of motions in it, even though he was only noticing from a distance..

There was a beep on his phone and he ran backwards startled.. It was embarrassing if the girl saw him peeking at her.. The beep was loud enough but the girl never noticed, she seemed to be immersed in some deep thought.. It was a message from his boss and he had to leave..

But he felt heavy at heart leaving the site of this girl.. He felt like he had fell for this girl.. It was a beautiful experience, and he felt himself dancing in utter joy as he set for his office,..
