THE WEDDING CEREMONY

Ken sat waiting for his father to return from his mission. Damien walked in now rid of his disguise he immediately sat down and tried to look as normal as possible.

He had decided to say nothing about Arianna. If Ken found out that she moved on so quickly, Damien was afraid that his sun will plunge into depression.

' How was the mission?' Ken ask. ' They are two of them, they look exactly the same. It sees as though they are there so while the one commits the crime, the other stays and fulfils the role of an ideal employee. I couldn't find anything more.' Damien says. Though he was shaken by the Arianna experience, he still had his rationality.

' What took you so long Dad?' Ken asks.

' Actually I got held up in the store when they were searching for a stolen item. I think it was a way for the moles to escape.' Damien says. He had cooked up this story on his way back.

If Ken wasn't so disturbed by his encounter with Arianna, he would have noticed that there were flaws in the story Damien told. ' I will be in my room' Ken says. Just as Ken reached the top stair, Damien's phone vibrated. Damien stared at the screen and his face darkened.

**************

Silly me! I haven't given Uncle Josh a call.

' Let me call Uncle Josh, give me a second.' I say as I dial the number. It rings but there is no answer. I keep trying for a while till I give up.

Raymond decided to sleep over so we could see Ash and Rio to the airport in the morning. I scooped Arian and bid every one good night.

I placed my sleeping baby in his cot that was now getting a bit small for him. I locked the door and took out the photo of Ken. Then the tears began falling all over again. I tried to be tough in front of everyone but my heart still ached.

What happened to the cold guy who was warm to only me? The guy who wanted to tie me close to him forever.

I wiped my tears, Ken Khurana did not just humiliate me, he trampled on my love, devotion and pride. I will not forgive him for this. Never! I locked up the photo in an old chest. I will bury this key somewhere where I can't easily retrieve. It shall only be free the day I crush Ken's pride the way he did mine.

I went over to Arian's cot and kissed his forehead. He was my reason to live now. I will become successful and be able to stand on my two feet.

************

Somewhere in a dark room,

' Ken Khurana! I will destroy you, I will hit you where it hurts the most. Mark my words!' A figure seated in the dark says.

****************

About eight weeks later,

It's amazing how so much can change in a month. I am not as traumatized as I was about Ken. It still hurts but I am okay. I have even buried the key to that chest in the garden. Forget all that, Today is a special day, Lucian and Sasha are getting married. I think they are still young but hey, love is a powerful force.

Did I mention that in a week's time I will have to go to Havana Graceland? Havana Graceland is this huge estate, almost the size of a village. It is were each family branch of the Havanas are based.

' Ari! What are you thinking? Hurry up!' Rio says.

Yes I am in Parkville with Rio, Ash, Raymond, Fred and Arian.

Fred and I developed a pretty good bond during this time. He was now part of our little squad.

I put on my hairpin and adjusted Arian's clothes.

' Oma!' Arian called out pointing at his mouth.

That's right my baby now calls me Oma. Do you think I overwatched Korean dramas with him? Nah! you can never watch to much K-Drama.

He has two teeth peeking out the side of his mouth. And he has also started crawling.

They grow up so fast.

*peem peem* I heard Ashley honking the car's horn.

I took Arian and went to the car. I have never attended a wedding before. This should be fun!

***************

Sasha was beaming as she stared at herself in the mirror.

Finally! She and Lucian will get their own family.

Mr Anderson walks in and smiles on seeing Sasha.

' You are looking gorgeous my dear.' Mr Anderson says.

' Dad where's big brother?' Sasha asks.

' Did someone call for me?' A voice says.

' Big brother!' Sasha calls out excitedly.

Chad was three years older than Sasha and was in college. He came back to attend Sasha's wedding even though he didn't completely approve of Lucian.

' Congratulations sister!' Chad says.

' Stop chit chatting! Get ready quickly!' Mr Anderson says to Chad.

***********

' Babe! Wake up, don't you have a wedding to go to.' A naked blonde girl says while shaking a sleeping guy.

' My wedding?' Lucian says as he jumps up startled.

The lady with him was meant to get him ready but he offered her some Money and slept with her.

' Get me ready quickly!' Lucian says hurriedly.

After some time he is fully dressed and there is no sign of the earlier messiness. He enters his car and go to the wedding venue.

************

The six of us stepped down and entered the hall. For something that was arranged in a month, the hall was fascinating.

' Arianna!' I heard Someone call my name. I turned around it was Lucian.

He looked at me till his eyes wandered off to Arian.

' Lucian! Congratulations, sorry about how I left suddenly.' I say with a smile. His eyes are still on Arian.

' Pardon me, Let me introduce him. This is my son, Arian Havana. These are my new friends, Raymond James and Fred Shane. Guys this is Lucian Freud.' I say.

They say hello and shake hands.

' It's been a while Ari.' Lucian says.

' Don't worry! I will drop by more often now.' I say.

' Um.. Please excuse me.' He says and leaves.

We all sit at a table awaiting the main event.

**************

The priest calls everyone's attention as the ceremony is about to start. Mr Anderson walks out holding Sasha who looked so beautiful and delicate in her wedding dress.

Sasha's heart melted as she saw Lucian.

The priest recited the wedding vows and they both said I do.

And then they kissed.

Arianna felt a pang of jealousy as she saw Lucian and Sasha get married.

How many times had she dreamt of marrying Ken. These two were very lucky to be with the person they loved.

Everyone headed to the garden for the reception.

A man came and handed Arianna and Riona a card. All the classmates were called to an inner room.

' Ash, Ray, Fred, we are having a little reunion. Wait here for us.' Arianna says.

Arianna and Riona go to the room and saw all their classmates from highschool.

Everyone's eyes was on little Arian.

Everywhere was silent till Sasha breaks the silence.

' O.M.G Ari. Your baby is the cutest.' Sasha says.

' Thank you. Congratulations Sasha. I wish you a happy married life.' Arianna says as she gives Sasha a small box.

Riona does the same.

The classmates are still looking at the uncanny resemblance between Ken and Arian, scratch the hair colour. Could it be?

' Is he Ken's? Are you two still together m' Jane asks voicing everyone's thoughts.

Arianna's face fell at the mention of Ken's name.

' We aren't and he isn't worthy to be Arian's father.' Arianna says.

They all doubted the fact that the child wasn't Ken's. The resemblance was much.

' Forget that! We aren't here to talk about my love life. It's Sasha's and Lucian's wedding. We now have a Mr and Mrs Freud.' Arianna says swiftly changing the topic.

The ceremony carried on to for a while till it came to an end.
