I'm Me... That's All I Can Ever Be!
"ya I'm Coming Down Wait A Sec.."
It Was Me, Anny drew... I Had Come To Her Place For Helping Her In Her Party preparations..
Right Now, I Was Throwing All Necessary Things From the Upper Shelf..
She Was Continuously yelling And It Was Beginning To Annoy Me...
"Look Reynolds.. If You Shout Once More.. I Swear Ll Make Sure All Articles Land On Your Head..."
She Had To Shut Up... Coz Sarah knew Ann's Temper Was Unpredictable.. And Right Now She Needed Her To Do The Job.. Coz With her Frilled Skirt She Couldn't Even Properly Stand On The Ladder.. Let Alone Taking Things Down..
Whereas Ann As Usual Was In Her Lavendar Shirt And A Dark Blue jean... It Wouldn't Be That Difficult For Her To Do That...
"all Right... M Not Yelling You Be Careful.. Right?"
"Ok.."
Just When I Finished Unloading Things And Unpacking All Things.. A Male Soft But Strong Voice Cut In...
"Hello Ladies "
I Could've Recognized the Voice... It Was Richard.. Sarah's Boyfriend.. He Came Up To Her And Hugged Her Quietly.. And I Could See That she was loving it... no matter what I Felt..
I was mumbling To Myself.. "Perfect Timing.. Saviour Boyfriend..Sigh.."
"And How Are You Doing Ann?" He Looked Up At Me...
"yeah M fine... As You Can See That..."
Richard Quipped.. "Its You Who Doesn't See Ann.. I Always See.."
I Gritted My teeth... "Right.. Sar, M Going To Check Out The Kitchen.. ll See You In The Evening.."
I Was Unable To Look at her... I would hurt her.. I Knew that.. And Anyways Kitchen Was The Safest Place.. Richard Was Intelligent Enough To Do The Unpacking... How much Ever I hated To Admit It, He Was Perfect For Her....
"You Should Be Preparing For Around A 100 people... Make Sure Everything Tastes Good and Is presented Well..." I was Giving my final round of instructions to the workers and the chef.. Everything seemed to work out well... After All I Was In-Charge And Organizing Things Was My Charm...
"How Could I Ever Thank You Ann..."
I Spun Around To See... Of Course, It Was Sarah...
but She Was Looking Mesmerisingly Beautiful..
She Had Worn A Long White Gown... With pink Bows... And She Had let Her Hairs Run Down.. Her Long Honey Colored hair was amazing curly that day..
And Right By Her Side.. Was In Tux.. of Course Richard.. Even He was Looking Handsome...
I was Slightly off my feet ... Tears welled up in my eyes as i saw the lovely couple...
"Anny.."
"Ya..."
"Are U Ok Dear...?"
"You Both Look Stunning... Absolutely Like The Apple Of EveryOne's Eye.."
Richard And Sarah Looked Confused... They Started Staring At Each Other.. And Suddenly Richard Spoke...
"Thats Kind Of You Ann.. Thank You.. Thanks A Lot.."
"No, Seriously I Mean It Richard.. You Look Strikingly Handsome..."
At That Point Of Time.. I Went Over and Put My Hand In His...
I Swear If Sarah Had A Camera At That Moment ,She Wouldve taken Our Snap In All Angles.. Nobody Knows When It Would Happen Again... That Was The Difficulty...
"Ok.. Since You Guys Are Here.. I'd Better Get Going.. I'll Get Ready And Be Back In A While... Richard Take Care Of Her.."
Richard Slid His Arms Around Sarah's Waist... "I Will" Came The Assured Reply..
I Went Over The Dressing Room.. Took A Quick Shower.. And Changed Into A New Pair Of Black jean.. A Pale Blue Shirt And A White Coat... I Hadn't Given A Thought About My dress... Even Though I Wanted To Make Sure He Noticed..
The He, Obviously Was Ned Nickerson...
For The Past Few Days.. I Had Been Quite Wondering About What Is Happening In My Life... But The VEry Thought Of Meeting Him Today Made Me Shiver Excitedly From Tip To Toe...
Giving One last Look At The Mirror... I headed Over To Kitchen...
"So Everythings Over..??" I Asked As I Peeped Into The Kitchen...
"Yeah"Came The Immediate Reply Of Richard...
Sarah Had Obviously Left for welcoming the guests..
Richard looked at me skeptically...
"well, White Looks Good On you..."
I grinned... "Thanks"
We Were Over looking into All Arrangements..
"say Ann, We could've been good friends right??"
"Yeah.. If You weren't her boyfriend and I Wasn't Her Best Friend..."
We Both Laughed As We Knew It Was The Truth...
"May I Know What The Joke Is..???"
I Wheeled Around In Joy.. I Was Nervous All Over.. I Could See Him In A Plain White Shirt.. Showing His Muscular Build... And sleeve Rolled Up.. Along With A Jean Exactly Like Mine...
"Hi Ann.. Hi Richard.."
He Came Up To Richard.. And There I Could Witness A Formal Handshake...
"So I Heard From Sarah That You Guys Are Handling The Kitchen...?"
"Yep.." I Managed To Answer.. Though My Head Was On A High...
"And I Guess Everything Is Almost Over.... It Looks And Smells Good.."
Richard Laughed... And Said "It Tastes Good Too... Anny Handled Everything...."
He Winked At Me...
"I .. I Guess I Did It.."
Ned Spoke Briskly... " that's Nice To Hear Ann... Well.. I Think Richard And I Should Get Going.. And I Can See That Even You Need To Get Ready... So See You Around.."
For A Moment....
The Castle I Had Built Suddenly Crashed... I Felt So Stupid Of myself...
Richard led Ned To The Door...
But Came back And Said "I'll Send Her... Don't Worry.."
Before Sar Came .. Again I Was Confused.. How Could He Say That I Had To Get Ready.. I Was Perfect To My eyes...
Sarah Came Huffing In Mid air...
"How dare he say something Like that to you.. "Sarah's eyes looked down at mine.. as I was Sitting Down Numbly...
"Sar.." I Began...
"You Just Don't Speak A Word... I'll Show That Guy What You Can Be Like.. I'll Help You Dress Up..."
"NO.. Don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"
I Had Been Thunderingly loud...
Sarah Was Staring At ME.. "What?"
I Sighed... And Let Down A Tear...
"No... Sarah.. This Is Me... And I Cant Become Like You... I'll Be A Joker.."
I Just Spoke And Left The Place...
Thinking:
I'm Me... That's All I Can Ever Be!
