Charlotte's POV-

Now the interview was over and I was sitting in my car , scrolling down on my phone, seeing photos and videos of me all over internet. I'm a singer, so ofcourse where ever I will go the paps will always follow me and share my information, location, photos and videos on the social media

Just then I got a call from my father. "Hello ?" I said, politely. "Where the hell are you ?!! " A rage voice came came out from my phone. "Well, I'm on my to the function" I said calmly. Because I know my dad gets angry easily. "Then just come fast !! Everyone is waiting for you " again a fury voice came from my phone. "Alright, alright, now stop scolding me I'm not a kid anymore" I said, trying to be more calm and polite. "I will see you there, Bye" I continued and cut-off the phone call as quickly as I can. Well, I don't understand what he meant by everyone is waiting for me ?

Whatever, and I again divert my gaze towards the phone, scrolling on Instagram

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

As soon as I depart from the car, all the gazes direct towards me. I am a singer so that's why. But I'm having a feeling like I'm the bride. I don't like much center of attention but soon I will get used to it. Soon I was walking on the Sandy ground beneath me. Well, I appreciate their wedding venue. A beach would be a perfect place to get married. I will also do my marriage on the beach

The place is so beautiful. Breathtaking sea views and lush gardens create the perfect backdrop for a big day like wedding. Plus, this venue offers a romantic vibe, an amazing opportunity for couples to celebrate their marriage in a dream destination. It had table lanterns, string lights on the Sandy beach spread on the sides of the wedding place and crystals , and sequins across tables for an extra touch of romance

The color pallette of the wedding is monochromatic, off-white and cream colour with some elements of gold and silver

Then my gaze diverts towards the groom, he is wearing a black blazer paired with a black dress pants. He was looking good in that suit. And beside him the bride was standing

A different kind of happiness is visible on her face. A happiness that cannot be described by words. She is wearing a Breton costume. The dress has lace-trimmed blouse,apron with colourful flowers and white, flared bonnets. She is looking fabulous !

The guests are greeting and talking to the parents' of the groom and the bride. Because, in French weddings, the bride is not the centre of the attention. Instead, the focus is on the two families coming together. I was so emerged in my thoughts that I bumped onto a 6-feet high man. Argh, why all the man are so tall !!!

"I'm so sorry, I didn't-" as soon as I looked up ,my eyes met his gaze and i stopped in the middle ...all the memories of the past flooded in my mind, my heart started pounding harder and harder

A heavy mist settled in my chest , making every breath a struggle. When I tried to speak something, I found myself loss of words, not being able to say something. We were continuously staring at each other not understanding what to say ..this sudden meet after such a long time was unexpected for both of us

I never thought we would ever meet again. But something was different...his eyes were not showing the love and softness it used to be in past. I can hear the sound of his heart beating so fast. I felt like my body is frozen and no part of my body agrees to move. And before I could manage myself

..and say something to him a voice suddenly grabbed our towards it. Then I turned my head in the direction of that voice only to see my father looking a bit angry. "Charley ! What are you doing here ?, I have been waiting for you for so long !!" my father said

Then I turned my head towards the man, but only to see no one standing there. I don't understand why my dad always pops up at the wrong time. Then , I turned towards my father

"Dad, I just arrived, let's go and meet groom and bride's family"saying this, I dragged my father towards the bride and groom's family. My heart was still beating so loudly that I could even hear my heartbeat

We reached towards the groom and bride and their family. We all greeted each other. "Hey James, long time no see, and Charlotte has also grown up know" groom's dad said in a friendly way to my dad. And like this the conversation starts

But I still can't get out from the thoughts of the event that happened with me, I never know that we would meet each other again after so many years. If destiny wants we will meet again

I hope he is good and hope he is doing well ...I want to talk to him ...joke with him ...go out with him and do funny things with him just like we used to do at our college time ...

Flashback (Charlotte's POV-)

I'm standing infront of a big gate. My heart is beating very fast, I can hear the sounds of people talking , giggling and gossiping. I take deep breath and take my steps inside the campus. Today is my first day of college and I'm very nervous but also very excited

Then I turn my head towards my wrist watch only to know that 'I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME !!!' . Today is my first day and don't want to be late. I ran towards my class but my fate had different plans.. unfortunately I bumped into a guy. He was very tall I guess 6'2 or something

But as soon as I recognised him, my face frown. We both said loudly ,I think equal to a scream " YOU ?!! ". I never expected to see my high school buly at my college. He then smirked "Hey chocolava , I'm very glad to see you here. Where are you going in such a hurry ? Let's talk in alone."

I let out a frustrated sigh "Bitch, get out of my way, I'm running late for my lecture !" And with a mischievous grin on his face he said "Yeah, just like your mother who ran away with someone else, leaving you and your father alone, no doubt like mother like daughter ..running away from everything" He and his friends started laughing at me.

This time he crossed all his limits. From childhood, I have always been bullied because of my past. I raised my right hand ready to give him a tight slap but this time he was very quick and held my hand tightly and pushed me hard on the floor. "Ouch !" I moaned in pain

They started laughing enthusiastically. But in the next second that bully was flying in the air, his one friend's eye swallon and one friend sitting on the ground hands on his jeans zip and moaning in pain. Everything was going so fast that I didn't even realise that I'm being lift up by my hand by someone

Then that man release my hand from his grip. I faced towards him to exactly see who is it. And I was astonished to see a handsome figure standing infront of me

He was 6-feet tall with broad shoulders and ocean blue eyes which was giving him a handsome look and his thick brown hairs blowing slightly in the wind. "Close your mouth otherwise flies will enter inside" His sudden response made me come out from my thoughts

I felt a bit embarrassed and quickly closed my mouth."Hello, I'm Ethan Francois, I'm your senior, this is my 3rd year of studying law" He addressed softly, by holding out his hand for a handshake. "Hello, I'm Charlotte Carter, and this is my first year of studying law, And thank you for helping me from these bullies" I said shook his hand

Then I heard some people gossiping about us but I ignore it . I turned my head left and right only to see that the bullies have already ran away

And after this se started meeting each other frequently and hence we became very good friends .....

(Flashback Ends) Present Time

Charlotte's POV-

He was my closest friend, he was the one who made me realize that I'm doing my life's biggest mistake by choosing law and not choosing singing, which is my passion

Yes ! My father forced me to choose law because he is a famous lawyer and wanted me to be like him. And Ethan was the only one who saved me from people's taunts and evils. But after 2 years of friendship, he left the college without telling me anything to all of us and after that I met him today ....after many years



Ethan's POV-

I'm walking ,chating with my bestfriend 'Andre Martin' about how boring this wedding party is just then I bumped into a girl, she was 5'7 maybe ...but then I started to recognise her face, that emerald green eyes, thin pink lips , rosy cheeks with thick black hair sliding on her back

"I'm sorry, I didn't-" she stopped in the middle , I think she recognised me . She wanted to say something but it was seeing like her mind and heart were having a battle in what to say and what to not or should I ay or not

My heart felt like a stone, heavy and unyielding, sinking deeper into despair with each passing moment. My emotions were trying to take control over me but I somehow managed to defeat it

It was very hard to see her after so many years. She must be very upset from me. I never knew we would meet each other like this. I want to ask her how she is and what she has become in her life

I'm very happy to hear that she is achieving success in her life by following her passion. I somehow manage myself, ready to talk to her but Just then a loud voice grab our attention. He was scolding Charley for coming late

My blood boiled when he talked to her in such a manner but i calmed myself when I heard her calling that old man 'Dad'. I don't know what is happening to me but I think I should go from here. I walk towards the groom"Hello Sir, I'm very glad to see you here, thankyou for coming, I hope you will enjoy the party"

he is looking very happy and cheerful, ofcourse it's his marriage so for sure he must be. He is very lucky that he is getting married to the love of his life. But I guess not everyone is lucky in love."Congratulations to you on your marriage, actually I have some urgent piece of work to do so I have to go, please forgive me" hearing this his smile disappeared but he quickly hid it with a fake smile

"No problem sir, I understand you have so much work, but thanks for coming" I'm also a little saddened by his words but I can't stay here any longer."Okay then I'm leaving, take care and congratulations on your wedding" I said with a small smile on my face

I was heading towards the parking area but then my eyes fell towards her and my heart skipped a beat. Her hour glass body and long legs, she is wearing a red grittery dress that is covering all her curves ,it's a bit revealing but she's looking stunning

Her father is talking to the groom's family but she seems to be lost in her own thoughts. Then I went to the parking area and was about to get into my car when I heard a voice and I stopped and looked back to see who called me
