The walk home seemed to be less than relaxing as tears streamed down her face. The wedding would happen as quickly as possible and Helena had informed her that they wanted the wedding to happen as soon as possible. Great. Months flew by and the talk of the wedding became louder and louder. Over 600 people invited and Aya had to help make the wedding happen. Help plan. Help shop. Everything she had devoted herself to this. Of course Helena and Sadik did most of it but Aya was always there ready to help. Helena went to pick out wedding dresses and of course she wanted Aya and her friend Kiku and Francis to accompany them as well.
"What ya think?" Helena asked as she waltzed towards them in an elegant white mermaid type dress, it bellowed out from the waist slightly to extenuate her curves, she was gorgeous. Aya had bit back any bad comments and gushed about her friends beauty. After a brief talk convincing Helena that she didnt look like a whale Francis turned to aya.
"You are truly a great friend some women get nasty and try to out stage and belittle the bride," Francis scrunched his nose as if the thought had any horrid flavor.
"I'm her friend and I want what's best for her," Aya said calmly, more assuring herself than anything. Francis had smiled greatly upon hearing this and kiku himself had commented in how good of a friend Aya was. She sat there numbly accepting their complements. Helena appeared again but this time with a veil and her hair done up nicely, she now had jewelry to match the dress.
"This is to see how it's going to look when I'm all pretty what do you think?" She spun around showing her beauty to them. For a minuet Aya loved it. The thought of Sadik left her mind as she saw how happy Helena was. If Helena was happy, why should Aya ruin it?
"Gorgeous mon ami!"
"Hai you look great Helena chan."
It was Aya's turn to complement. She got up and stood next to her friend. "You look truly amazing but the veil is tilted to the right it should be centered," Aya remarked as she fixed the veil. Helena laughed and thanked her.
Time practically ran as the wedding was only days away. Helena was getting so stressed and Aya had to her. Aya also needed some help, Emmanuel and Michelle had been there for her. Both of them helping her over this heart break. Aya was slowly starting to move on. It only pained her, not as bad as before which Emmanuel would remind her that she could pull through. Once the day of the wedding arrived Aya was hysterical. Helping the somewhat demonic bride as they got dressed and got their make up down Aya couldn't help but to feel a mixture of bitterness and awe. She was glad her friends found love but at times she wished it wasn't so soon. 5 months of intensive planing the wedding and a crush that lasted a year. Aya knew she was supposed to get over it but hey. Love is cruel.
"Do you Sadik Adnan take Helena karpusi to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest declared.
"I do," Sadik sighed as he held his soon to be wife's hands. A gentle squeeze and she returned it. Bliss overcame both of them. Helena's turn to say I do came. She did. Now was the time the priest asked a question Michelle and Emmanuel were waiting for.
"Does anyone here object?" He asked. Both of Aya's friends gestured that she should speak up. Aya didn't. Her body froze as the vows were sealed with a kiss. Husband and wife. It was official. Aya just smiled and watched the night slip away.
Ever since the wedding Helena and Sadik haven't had any time to hang out with their Egyptian friend. Occasionally they would talk but the couple got busy with a family and adjusting to being parents. Aya babysat on rare occasions. But love never seemed away from reach, Aya finally met a man she truly could love with out ruining a relationship. He was an Indian man. Rajesh stole Aya's heart. They would meet up and talk but for now it wasn't to be very serious about. Maybe it would work out.
The first time Aya met Rajesh he was flirting with her. "I have never seen a goddess in person until now," he purred. Helena blushed and held up her wedding ring.
"I'm married," she declared. Rajesh just side stepped her and went towards Aya. Kissing her hand lightly.
"I was talking to you," he murmured against her skin. Rajesh then straightened himself up and introduced himself. They would meet up again, this time Aya was alone and Rajesh couldn't keep his eyes off of her. They chatted and Rajesh would continue to flirt with Aya. Their relationship soon became official as he dates continued. They eventually got hitched and moved to India. Aya had looked over her photo albums only to remember her lost love. Sadik. She was married now but the memory of the heart brake over filled her. Sadik will forever be a what if.
Sweet but sad story. I liked it. I liked the pairings you chose as well. It's nice to see the Mediterranean nations show up in a story now and then. Thank you for writing it A/A.
I'm so sorry I didn't comment sooner! Was this posted to the fill list? Because I totally missed this and only saw it by accident while browsing the meme.
This was wonderful, and I love that you chose to use the Mediterranean characters. They don't get nearly enough attention in fics, particularly Egypt. I loved all the little details and how she remained so strong despite the fact that it was so difficult for her. Thank you for writing!
