Chapter 1 ~I pity myself ~

Echo’s Pov:

I am Echo Belle Johnson. Really long name, right?  Many people gets confused when I actually say that I own both the name Echo and Belle. 

Both of the names are contrasting with the actual characters I own.  I don’t even understand why I have the name Echo when I was the most silent person when I was kid and why I got the name Belle when I was an ordinary beauty who wasn’t even in the top twenty beauty of the classes I attended to.

Honestly I felt like these two names were the mockery to my existence, a total mockery I say. You can openly call me an introvert as I had really less of friends and I interacted with people quite less. You see why the name Echo sounded funny to me.

I turned to a college student some four years ago and, yeah college life was really a dope one. I mean parties, club, disco, liquors, hook ups, break ups, patch ups, make outs, long crazy drives, unplanned trips. Wow! That’s totally rocking one. 

But, these all above mentioned stuffs weren’t for me. I hardly did any of the above except the party at my classmate’s house from where I returned before even it was ten, cause I was feeling freaking bored out there and my parents were calling me again and again.

When I was in school I had a only friend Rebecca Brown. The reason we were together was because we both were kind of similar type who was far away from everyone else's expectations.

She knew everything about me. Everything means everything. From the color to inner wears I used to wear to the crush I had when I was at school.

Crush? Yes, crush.

I had a huge crush on a boy who just lived across the street of me. He was cute, gorgeous and had sparkling eyes that would make any girl fall for him. And he was Jeremy Black.

How did I meet Jeremy?

I had met Jeremy when I was on my primary school. I mean I was on grade five when his father bought the huge mansion in front of my tiny house. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that much tiny but in comparision to his house, my house seemed like a peanut in front of the mango seed.

When we were in high school, he was quite popular with girls. The girls would just swoon over him like he was some celebrity award that they wanted to win anyhow.

His dad was one of the most richest person in the whole town owning five most influential and largest buildings in the town. He had two houses, one was on rent and one was his large mansion and the other two had the largest shopping malls in them and one was his own five starred hotel which had its major branches in other cities as well.

His dad always made me love his profession. As the perfect hotel businessman, he had quite effect of his successive personality on me. I mean on seeing him and making  him my idol , I decided to study hotel management.

That was how we met. Though, we had been in same neighbourhood we never talked were so close to each other but hotel management brought us together.

Finally, I was in same institute with the guy I had had a huge crush since I was in the primary school.

And when I was in last year, I suddenly got proposed to get married from his family.

Like really?

I was proposed to get married with one of the richest guy of the whole town and the guy was none other than my whole life crush whom I had been loving one sidedly for my whole life.

I was more than happy. No... I could tell happiness, joy, excitement and ecstasy were all small words in front of me.

I felt myself like the Disney World princess who got her prince after waiting for such a long time. I felt myself like one of those princess to get the man of my life as my spouse and able to live my remaining life together with him.

But, was my life like a fairytale?

Was I the princess who waited for the prince?

Was the love of my life whom I have waited for lifelong my prince?

I had imagined such a beautiful fairytale with him. I had imagined my perfect Disneyland with him but...

All of my pretty fairytale got shattered before a week of my wedding.

He promised me he would give me all of it. He promised me he would be giving me the love that I had always wanted to have.

I, so believed at his fucking lies which were not even a meaningful. They were as empty as his behavior and as vulgar as his characters.

When I was dreaming about my days and nights, my good days and nightmares together with him, he was busy with something else in his life.

That night was the night I had never ever imagined in my whole life.

I simply followed his car just to give him surprise, just to tell him how much I loved him all these years and how much happy I was to get him as my husband.

But what I found that night made me change the perspectives of my life. It made me realize that how much foolish I had been for my whole life.

Or I could say that I was the one to be blamed for everything that happened to me.

I was shattered to pieces when I followed him and found out that he was there just meet the girl who wasn't me but someone else.

Even while standing at the door where both of them were locked, I tried to think that it wasn't the thing that I had imagined millions of times but a girl could never get to take adulteration of her own going to be husband.

That moment made me hate him so much. My years and years of my love for him broke just in some seconds as it scattered my world.

But that wasn't the only thing that made me despise him but there was the thing that made me despise myself along with him.

His everyday steps made me lose everything of me one by one and made me feel that everything that starts with wrong never end with the right thing. And after thinking a lot I decided to end the silly thing called marriage while both of our parents were trying to persuade me to get into the marriage and I was more shocked when he came to persuade me for the marriage too.

But what he said to me the day he met me kept on ringing on my head like the worst toned alarm clock.

The words he expressed in front of me that day made me change the every path of my life. The words he told me made me break every rules that I had been obeying all my life.

The words he said to me that day made me to pity myself for the innocence I had shown my whole life.

The words he said...made me get mad of the things I had preferred for my whole life...
