They kissed for a very long time and then Sophia's gaze suddenly fell upin the gigantic italian watch on the wall. "Oh dear! It is too late. Mother and father must be waiting for me." Sophia looked at him holding both his hands. "What do I say now?" William frowned a bit tightly holding the girl's hands. "Don't go. Please." He planted his forehead on her forehead, yet again looking very gloomy. "I will have to go William. We are nt married yet and it is not suitable for me to stay the night with you like this. I am sorry." She nodded her head in disapproval. "Sigh. Alright. I shall then pick you up from your house tomorrow for university. I love you." He gently kissed the girl's forehead and then both her hands one by one. "Thank you. Goodbye." She gave a light peck on the boy's cheek and then turned to walk away with a very heavy heart. William held her waist gently as they both walked across the long corridor and then climbing do

She was yet holding the paper in her hand and then walked a little ahead on the long corridor, which had the door to the pool room at the extreme end. She walked a little ahead and noticed a beautiful gift box placed in a similar basket. The box was intricately decorated with swaroski stones. She again bent her knees and lifted the box in her hands. The moment she opened thd box, she saw a beautiful diamond studded bracelet inside it, with a tiny note in the other corner. Sophia smiled looking at the bracelet and then opened the note to read it. "This once belonged to my great grandmother and now, if you think it is worthy of your hands, please wear it and enter the pool room." A tear dropped down from Sophia's eye and she smiled looking at the elegant piece of jewellary. The bracelet was made of beautiful petal shaped diamonds, with several flowers in the corners made of rubies. Sophia picked up the bracelet and fastened it around her wrist with much willingness. 

"I now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride." The preist spoke happily, while the entire church was now filled with loud applause. William brought his lips closer to the girl and planted a deep kiss on her lips. Tears dropped down from Sophia's eyes, as she knew this was the beginning of a new life for her. In the other part of the country.....Diana was shunted out of her mother's house and was sent away to a village where her distant aunt lived. Unlike the modern town life, Diana had to cope up with the village life, which was so backwards. Her aunt was a bitch just like her mother. Diana was supposed to sleep with the cows and feed them each day. She would clean there droppings and was given food only twice a day. She cooked, cleaned, sold fresh fruits in market and came back giving all the earned money to her aunt. She would cry herself to sleep and would often curse Sophia for her misfortune. "One day, I will take my re

"Oh my dear husband. Why do you have to be so protective of me?" Sophia smiled and walked closer to William, hugging him. "It is not like, somebody is after me to kill me. Relax." She gave a quick peck on his chssk, looking at him. Even after so many years, William still looked exactly the same. He had slight gray hair on his head, but apart from that he looked extremely handsome. Sophia too looked more like her daughter Eva's elder sister, with same beautiful face and hair.  "Why do you have to be so adament?" William frowned looking at the lady.  "You know me so well hubby dearest. Goodbye." She walked away towards the porch of the palace, while William kept looking at her preceeding figure. Somehow his heart was sinking looking at his wife, as if he was seeing her for the last time.  The driver opened the car for the now queen of the royal palace. Sophia sat inside the far and soon the car was already headed to Eva's university. 

"Think hard Sophia. You will remember." Diana gave a pleasant fake smile looking at the confused lady.  Sofia was now carefully looking at Diana. "You do look familier. I am sorry, but how do I know you? Were you at the charity ball last year?"  "No dear. I am Diana and we were in school together. You had taught me how to dance when I had just joined the school. Now you remember?" Diana grinned happily.  "Oh my goodness. Now I remember you!" Sophia's mouth fell open and she smiled looking at Diana. "How are you doing Diana? It is so good to see you."  They both hugged each other happily, while Diana smirked as her plan so far was working perfectly.  "I am perfectly fine my dear. Just came back to the city and wanted to see the university again when I spotted you." Diana grinned happily, as if extremely delighted.  "Oh, I did not know you studied in the same university. Strange! I don't remember seeing you.
