章節 22: my college friends

the plane landed around 9:30 on the airport the girls were really tired . a car was waiting for them to take them to the family's holiday Manor.

Alora sighed as old memories came to her like waves ,when they were planning for further study after high school, due to some differences kat and Alora got different college in different country.

When she moved from country A , her parents also moved to country B saying they wanted to have a change of place .

she clearly remember she was shocked when she heard her parents were not in Country A but Country B when they broke the news to her in the phone.

she enjoyed her time when she returned back to country B after her graduation so many memories she left behind came crashing making her eyes wet forming a lump in her throat . Her parents grave is also here which she never visited afraid to remember all the memories . She made a mental note to visit her parents before lkat's marriage and to visit the 3 storey building that her parents gotand where she lived after graduating .

She kept her head on the window seeing the scenery goes by in a whoosh thinking what will tomorrow bring .

She settled down in a guest room where kat got suite courtesy for being the bride. We were tired and the wedding will take place around 3 in the evening tomorrow so we crashed on the bed dead tired from continues working

morning came a little too early for my liking but its an important day for kat that got me to my feet. I quickly finished my business and took a shower . I wore a maxi dress and was about to go to kat's room when I heard laughter coming from downstairs, so I went down and saw kat was surrounded by few girls I never met and few boys talking and laughing

when Alora entered the main hall every one became quite

Kat saw me and waved me to come over, I recluently went towards her. kat introduced me to everyone "Alora this is Annie , Bianca, Mariya and Lola "

"Hello everyone one. My name is Alora , nice to meet you" I am not good with meeting them its just they rub in a not so good way

but I got weird and nasti glare, their behavior is mean by why..?

kat pulled me out of thoughts "These are Steve, Donnie and John these are all my college friends "

I didn't like the stare I was getting from the boys, it was giving me a sinking bad feeling . But I had other plans before wedding and I have to be here before the wedding starts. I gave my best smile

"ooh ok kat enjoy. I have some work and I will be back before wedding starts , have plenty of work to do now. I must leave "I hugged kat and bid my bye to everyone and went out

but I didn't miss the sneer I got from two girls of kat's group huh what did I do to them, but I have much things to do

I hoped onto the taxi I booked ,he took me to my destination after 3o minutes .I stood in front of 3 storey building but I didn't have enough strength to face the memories I have made in their with my parents

I have a wedding to attend so no crying, and the cemetery where my parents are buried in is only 20 min walk from here, so I put on my sunglasse and started walking seeing all the familiar yet foreign place and the memories it carries gave a familiar yet other feeling that I can't dissipate

I finally reached the cemetery with few white lilies mine and mom's favorite and few sunflowers , which dad liked ,finally I reached them.

there resting peacefully as if having all the time in the world my dad and mom side by side on the ground made me choke on my tears, quickly wiping them away I went near them

I cleand both Graves and kept the respective flowers and sat in between them when i started talking "dad mom I miss you. I still remember what you used to say ' be strong my rose never be let down by anyone '

I am standing strong dad, I never faltered if I did, I never showed it in front of anyone. I still feel like you guys are with me saying ,cheering me ,saying 'go rose we know you can do it' "

a single tear fell but I brushed it away, now is not the time to cry " kat is getting married" I said enthusiastically pushing all the pain back
