Today has been a very big day for me. Every girl has been waiting for this day since childhood. Lots of dreams.
Yes, today is my wedding. I am sitting in front of the mirror. This big white gown really suited me a lot. The white veil cover on the head has further enhanced the beauty of the gown. Bridal makeup on the face! Only the necklace has not been worn yet. I'm ready to wear the necklace.
I wore the necklace. Now I am completely ready. A bride.
I looked at myself in the mirror again. It looks beautiful.
As a kid, I used to think about how I would look when I got married. What will be my state of mind? Will I feel nervous?
I will marry the one I love. I will spend a lot of time with him, then I will understand if I can spend my whole life with him. How will my feeling be when I walk towards the aisle in the wedding gown towards my husband! I will have a smile on my face no matter what the feeling is. Everyone will stand and clap as I walk down the porch. And I want these applause to never stop, because I'm going to marry my lover.
That day will be the most beautiful day for me. Maybe tears will fall with my eyes happily and when he sees me crying, he tells me not to cry anymore. Will wipe away tears Or he also will cry. Funny! Really funny!
The thought of that childhood fairy tale is going to come true today. I will walk through the porch, with a smile on my face. But fake smiles.
Yes, a transparent fake smile. Everyone will stand and clap as I walk down the porch. But I don't like the applause. Maybe my eyes will still water but this cry will not be a happy cry. My sorrow will be water.
Thinking about all this, my brother and mother entered the room. Seeing them, I also stood up. And I brought a smile to my face.
My mother looked at me and said with a bright smile on her face, "My daughter looks very beautiful today. She is the most beautiful bride in the world ever."
I smiled a little after hearing her. My mother kissed me on my forehead.
My brother gave me a hug and said, "Hmm, my sister looks so beautiful today. All the girls in the world are forced to give up to my sister."
They both looked at me for a while. I can clearly see the tears in my mother's eyes. Maybe all mothers cry when they see their daughter being a bride..
Brother said while looking at his watch, "It's time. We have to go now."
Brother brought his hand towards me so that I could hold his hand. I also started walking while holding his hand.
The time has come. I will be someone's wife in a while. Whom I do not know. Whom I have never seen. I don't even know his name. I want to cry. But I can't cry.
At that time my brother said to me "What happened?"
I shaked my head and said with a warm smile on my face, "Nothing. Let's go."
Saying this, my brother and I started walking. I'm walking down the porch. Everyone is standing and clapping. I have a smile on my face. Oh sorry, I have a fake smile on my face. I have no desire to look at the groom. Since everyone's attention is on me, I have to look at him even though I don't want to.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the boy. After seeing the boy, my legs seemed to be paralyzed. I never thought I would marry him. I knew my life would change from today but I never expected it to change like this.
The sun is shining through the window into my room and falling on my face. I woke up because of the sun. I got up from bed and started rubbing my eyes with my hands. I stood by the window and looked out.
A beautiful morning. The birds are calling and flying one after another. It looks like they are playing together. Seeing these, a smile appeared on the corner of my lips.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was now 7.23. I have an interview today. Part time job. I want to stand on my own two feet. I don't want to depend on anyone. So today I will give a part time job interview. And I will bear my own expenses.
I'm Emma Anderson. I came to America to finish my master's degree. My mother Sophia Anderson and older brother Riley Anderson live in London. My father died when I was little. They never stopped me for anything. They wanted me to finish my Masters in London but they said nothing more when I wanted to come here. Moreover, there is another reason. If I live with my mother and brother, they will not let me do anything. They will fulfill all my wishes. They will take care of me the most so that I do not suffer. But I want to fulfill some of my desires myself. I want to understand this world. I want to stand on my own two feet and prove to myself that I am no less than anyone. So I came to America.
My interview is at 10 o'clock. I took a bath and went out for breakfast. I went to a cafe with my roommate Mia and had breakfast. Then she went to her work and I went for the interview.
Sitting in the taxi, I started thinking about what my interview would be like! Will I get the job? My first interview. I had never worked anywhere before. If I don't get the job, there is no problem. I will try another one. But it will be an experience for me.
I was watching the news on my mobile yesterday. Then I saw the chairman of Cooper Enterprise looking for a part time assistant for him. His assistant is on leave for a few months. I also thought I could try this job. I hope I get the job.
While thinking about all this, the taxi came to a stop in front of the Cooper Enterprise building. 32 storey building. Very nice to see from the outside. Surely it will be much more beautiful from the inside. I have heard a lot about this company. One of the few well-known companies in America.
I entered the company and went to the receptionist.
I told him "I'm here to interview Mr. Harry Cooper's part-time assistant."
The receptionist showed me a couch and said "You sit down for a while. You will be called." I nodded my head and sat on the couch.
Harry Cooper, Chairman of Cooper Enterprise. He is 28 year old. He has joined the company since his father was paralyzed. Now he and his two friends Thomas Willow and Jack Parker run the company together. The three of them studied in primary school together and grew up together. Friendship bonds like theirs are hard to find anywhere else. In America, when it comes to friendship bonds, their names come in second. All three are very handsome to look at. But I never saw them. I have heard from others.
Thomas Willow and Jack Parker do flirt a lot. In other words, they both are womanizers. But Harry Cooper is not like them. It goes saying that he was never seen with the girls. But I do not believe it. If two friends of a boy are womanizers then how can he not be a womanizer or flirt! Of course, it has nothing to do with me! I'm here to work. That is my purpose.
I was called when I was thinking about all this. I knocked on the door. Someone from inside said, "Come in." I stepped inside.
The three boys are sitting together. All three are handsome to look at. It is difficult to say who is the most handsome. Everyone was right about their looks. I saw the pictures of the three of them on the internet yesterday. So I can say by looking at their face who they are.
Harry Cooper showed me the chair in front of him and said "Sit down."
I nodded and sat down in the chair and said, "Good morning."
Harry Cooper said, "Good morning."
Harry Cooper paused and looked at me. Then he thought something and said "Why do you want this job?"
I looked at him and said, "I'm a student. I'm studying for a master's degree. And I don't want to depend on anyone else. I want to depend on myself. I want to understand the world. I want to bear my own expenses."
Harry Cooper looked at me for a moment. It seemed that he was a little surprised at my words. But I do not know why and I have no desire to know.
Harry said to Jack and Thomas next to him, "If you have any questions, you can question her."
Thomas looked at me and smiled a little then said "What do you like to do the most?"
I was a little surprised at his question but without letting him understand I said "Sorry, I don't understand your question."
As Thomas sat in his chair, he leaned forward and said, "What do you prefer to do in your free time?"
I stopped looking at him for a while. He said again, "Imagine today is Sunday. The office is closed. What would you do at home now?"
I let out a sigh and said, "Maybe I should listen to music. I spend most of my day listening to music."
Jack said "Do you like listening to music then?"
I said "Hmm".
Thomas said "Whose song do you prefer to listen to?"
I took no time and immediately said "I like listening to Rewind's songs the most."
Thomas laughed out loud and said to me, "Do you know there is a competition with them for our friendship bonds? The names of the four members of the Rewind Band is in number one for friendship bonds. And the three of us are at number two."
I looked into Thomas' eyes and said with confidence, "Yes sir, I know. In America, when it comes to friendship bonds, the Rewind band comes first. I think their friendship is much better."
Thomas said "Miss Emma I have to say, you have a lot of courage."
Jack looked at me and said "Better than us?"
I said, "Sir, I don't know much about you. I haven't seen you closely , so I can't say anything this time."
Harry looked at the floor and smiled a little. Then he looked at me and said "Miss Emma Anderson, I hired you. From now on you are my assistant."
I was surprised by his words and at the same time I am happy with that. I got the job.
I looked at Harry and said, "Thanks sir."
Thomas said to me, "Congrats, you've got the job." He winked at me.
Jack then said "Well Miss Anderson, which of the three of us is the most handsome?"
I was a little surprised to hear that. I do not understand what to say.
Before I could say anything, Harry looked at Jack and said, "Jack, don't confuse her anymore. And yes,Thomas stopped flirting with her. She's my assistant." Harry winked at them.
And he said to me, "You can come to work tomorrow. Take a rest today. And I hired you because of your honesty. I like honest people very much." He smiled at me.
Jack called me as I was about to open the door to get out of the room.
I turned around and said "Yes sir?"
Then my eyes fell on Thomas. He looked at me from head to toe. Looks like he'll eat me with his eyes. I don't know how to react to this. So I looked at Jack again.
Jack said, "Nothing. You can go. See you tomorrow."
Then I got out of there. It feels like I'm out of the cage. People are right. Jack and Thomas both are great womanizers. Then I took a taxi home.
It is 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I changed my clothes, cooked lunch and waited for Mia. After a while Mia came.
As we were eating together, Mia said, "How was the interview?"
I cried and said, "I've got the job."
Then Mia looked at the food and immediately said, "No problem, Emma, if you don't get a job, you will get another."
She immediately raised her head and understood what I said. She said happily, "What! Congress Emma. You've got a job. Job with the first interview. Wow!"
I laughed and said "Thanks Mia."
She said again "You are very lucky Emma. You will work under three handsome bosses. Wow!"
I didn't say anything. I started eating. At that moment, Mia said again, "Emma, the award show will start soon. Who do you think will get the best album?"
I immediately said, "Of course, Rewind will get it.. Not only the best album but they'll also get the best artist.."
Mia said "Of course Rewind will get that. There is no one like them." We both laughed looking at each other and started eating lunch.
The award function will start shortly. Feeling a little nervous. But I don't feel nervous like before. Now I am used to it.
As the days pass by, the nervousness has decreased as I go to many places like award functions, fansigns, concerts, various shows. But it still takes a while. It takes more fear than nervousness. If something goes wrong! We will start today's award show. So scary! If anything goes wrong! No mistake can be made.
Moreover, we have been nominated for Best Album and Best Artist. So, I'm feeling nervous a lot. I hope we will get these 2 awards. But what if we get one! Of course, there is no problem even if we don't get it. We are happy like always.
I'm Carter Hudson. A singer. A member of Rewind Band. I, Blake Colter, Jackson Hunter and Hazel Easton are four of us in this rewind group. We love each other a lot. We have been singing together for the last five years. Normally a good bond will form.
My father didn't want me to sing. He wanted me to finish my studies and join his company. But I did not like it at all. So I ran away from home. But as I was running away from home, my older brother Shane Hudson saw me.
"Do what makes you happy," he said, helping me escape.
Blake, Jackson and Hazel already knew each other. They used to sing in the streets. As I ran away from home, I was surprised to hear their songs on the street. Sings a lot of good songs. Their sweet voices attracted me so much. I listen to them till they finish them. We met for the first time then. After that we started to sing together. It's always fun with them. We've got a lot in these five years together. Of course, all this is due to the love of our fans. They love us so much. Well, we couldn't have come this far today without them. Our minds are filled with joy when they sing with us while singing in concert. Our fan site is very big. Tickets for all the concerts we've done in the last two years have sold out in 5-10 minutes. That being said, they eagerly wait for our concert.
Just as I was getting ready, Blake came in and said, "Feeling nervous?"
I nodded my head and looked at him and said "Hmm. A little bit. Don't you?"
He looked in the mirror and said, "I'm very nervous. When I was getting ready, I was wondering if I could do everything well. If something went wrong!"
Hazel put her hand on Blake's shoulder and said, "Don't get tense. Everything will be fine. The opening will be nicely finished." Blake winked at Hazel.
Jackson straightened his clothes and said, "Hey guys, how do I look? The hair looks a little weird, doesn't it?"
I put my finger on my chin and narrowed my eyes and observed him. "You're right, your hair looks weird . And the outfit doesn't suit you at all."
Blake and Hazel laughed at that. I started laughing with them too. Jackson stared at us for a moment.
Then he said "Very funny. But I didn't smile. Sorry."
He let out a sigh and said "How do I look, please tell me?"
Blake put his hand on his shoulder and said "Handsome, as always."
Jackson then said "I know." Jackson looked at us and said, "I'm very nervous. I've never opened a show before. I don't know what to do."
Everyone nodded.
I looked at them and said "Think positive. Everything will be positive."
Saying that, I gave them a small smile. They also looked at me and smiled.
At that time a man came and said to us "Are you ready?"
We looked at him and said together, "Yes, we are ready."
Then the man said, "Now the program will start with your performance. So you stay on the side of the stage."
We looked at him and nodded our heads.
Blake looked at us and said, "Are we ready?"
The four of us put our hands on each other's hands and said together, "Yeah, we are ready. Let's do it."
Then after waiting for 5 minutes we were called to perform. We looked at each other and went on stage and started performing.
After performing backstage, Hazel said, "Everything went well. We performed beautifully without any difficulty."
He took a deep breath and smiled.
I looked at them and said "Congratulations to us."
Then we clapped together for each other. Looked a lot better to perform. When we entered the stage, everyone was shouting 'Rewind Rewind'. Our names were called out loud. Really liked it a lot.
Jackson said at the time, "Now it's just the turn of the award. I'll be happy to receive the award."
Blake then said, "And what if we don't?"
Hazel said as if he was crying, "Then I'll cry."
We all laughed when we saw him crying .
Blake said to Hazel "It's good that you have become a singer. You haven't become an actor. Because if you wanted to try acting, you could never succeed. "
We laughed together hearing Blake.
Then I said, "No problem if we don't get the award. But we'll surely be hurt. But We'll do better in the future."
Blake nodded his head. Now we are waiting to announce the awards.
Emma Pov:
"Wow! Their performance has been great. Wow! Hazel looks so cute, doesn't he?"
Mia nodded at me and said, "Not only Hazel but everyone is looking very cute. But Carter is looking very hot."
I looked at Mia and said "Hmm, but Jackson looks hotter and Blake looks sexy."
I put my hands over my cheeks when saying that.
I said again "I don't know who looks more beautiful. Everyone looks very handsome and hot."
Mia and I both laughed.
Mia said, "Now it's just the turn of the award."
I looked at her and said, "We have to wait again. If only he had given the award right away!"
Mia tapped me on the head with her finger and said, "Be patient. They won't run anywhere."
I shook my head and looked at her with narrow eyes.
I looked at Mia and said " Wanna eat popcorn?"
She looked at me and said "Hmm."
We ate popcorn and watched the whole awards show. The Rewind Band did not receive the Best Artist Award, but they did receive the Best Album Award. Feeling bad and happy at the same time. It's 9 o'clock at night. Mia and I had dinner and fell asleep.
The sound of the alarm woke me up. It's 8.30 in the morning. Office at 10 o'clock. Mia and I had breakfast and went to work. It is now 9.45. I came to the office on time. Harry called me while I was sitting at the desk.
I went to him and said "Yes sir?"
He showed me a file and told me "Complete it and send it to me."
I nodded my head and walked over to my desk.
While I was working on the file, Thomas put his hand on my shoulder and said," You need help? "
He said in a way that I am someone who is too close to him. I was surprised by his behavior.
I did not look at him and said "Nah sir."
He sat down in the chair next to me and said, "Tell me if you need any help."
He leaned forward a little and said, " I will help in any way I can."
He looked at me from head to toe. I shrugged a little. Then he left.
While I was working I saw everyone in the office looking to one side. I also looked to see what they were looking at. I was so shocked looking at him.
I saw Hazel come into the company. This is the first time I see him. It's so nice to see him live. Hazel passed me and entered Harry's room.
After some minutes, Harry called me. I entered the room as I saw Harry, Thomas and Jack sitting next to Hazel.
Harry said to Hazel, "She's Miss Emma, my assistant."
I looked at Hazel and said, "Hello."
I want to tell him a lot more. But I can't say a word. I don't know what to say. I don't understand why Hazel is here. I'm just looking at Hazel.
Hazel looked at me and smiled a little and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm feeling like the two eyes of yours are gonna eat me."
This time I came back to reality. I bowed my head in embarrassment and smiled a little.
Jack said to Hazel, "Miss Emma is a big fan of all four of you."
He said that as he winked at me.
Hazel looked at me and said "Really!"
I nodded and said, "Hmm."
Then I stared at Hazel in surprise at what Harry had told me.
