Promises and secrets .
The weeding day arrived under golden morning light .Raven placed red flowers into Isabella's hand, smiling softly .
"You look beautiful ," he said .
Isabella blushed. "Not as much as you think."
The next morning , Isabella prepared breakfast.
"Good morning ," she said as Raven entered the kitchen.
"You cooked?" He said , surprised.
"I'm learning ," she laughed .
That's great. I think I am late so let's do the breakfast .
After doing the breakfast , Isabella I am going to my office .I will be back on 2:00 .okay fine bye.
The park.
That afternoon ,Ayla (their next door neighbour) convinced Isabella to go to the park
"you need fresh air ," ayla insisted
and they went
The park shimmered with colour flowers blooming , wind moving softly through trees , children laughing in the distance.
For a brief movement , Isabella felt free .
Then she saw him
Raven
standing with another girl. Talking and laughing. While going in front of him she began to cry and ran to home
After the park .
The walk to home felt longer than usual.
she reached home and after a while Raven was back .Isabella you know I am so tired talking and pretending as nothing had happened .
Isabella taught may be it was a misunderstanding and she ignored it too
both talked and laughed .
Both slept

The bell ranged Isabella asked who ? Lalia . Oh my gosh Isabella opened the door I am so sorry . I didn't knew you were coming today come in. Let's go to the guest room . And they went .lilia asked for forgiveness but Isabella said I have already forgiven you . Then lilia said ,let's play a game ,I will ask a question and you have to answer I was asked of what think I was proud ,and honestly, I didn't no how to answer it first . Lilia looked at me with curiosity and asked if I was proud of my new friends. I paused for a moment thinking about everything that had happened recently.
"Yes ," I finally replied , smiling softly .
Later, lilia suggested that we should meet someone she knew . At first I didn't understand what she meant, but then she explained that we are going to meet her friend . She had already planned everything and wanted me to join them .maybe he become my future ...husband .lilia blushed.
Let's go .we agreed and soon we were on our way . We took a taxi and arrived at a small cafe , the place was warm and cozy , filled with quite conversation and the smell of coffee. That was were we met him .
His name was Damon .
Damon seemed normal at first calm ,polite and easy to talk to .Isabella and raven were already comfortable with him , chatting and laughing as if they had known him forever .I sat quietly, observing him carefully.
Then Isabella and raven were talking and Damon started talking to me we were talking ,while damon suddenly turned toward lalia and said ," you must have been born on highways, because that's where most accidents happen ."
Lilia frowned slightly ." Excuse me ?" She replied
" I 'm not saying I hate you ," Damon added quickly ." I'm just saying ....if you got hit by a bus , I would probably still be calm".
His words sounded strange, almost like a joke that didn't feel funny .An awkward silence filled the table before the conversation slowly moved on again .
The evening continued, and eventually we reached home .

Isabella birthday.
Isabella birthday arrived with forced celebration . Balloons hung from the walls, and a cake rested at the centre of the table ,its candle waiting to be lit .Everyone smiled ,yet the happiness felt incomplete as if something unseen hovered over the house.
" Make a wish," Ayla said gently
Isabella closed her eyes ,trying to ignore the strange uneasiness in her heart.
Just as she leaned forward to blow out the candles ,her father's phone rang.
The cheerful atmosphere shattered instantly .
He answered the call ,listening silently .within seconds , the colour drained from his face .
" what happened?" Isabella asked, her voice barely steady.
He lowered the phone slowly.
"It's lilia," he said ."she is been ...
