Episode one
Mitchel pov
I smile at my reflection on the mirror, I can't believe I'm getting married to the man of my dreams, the man that made me feel and know love
Mum walks in beaming in smile dressing elegantly
I saw her through the mirror, I smiled back and face her
"Are you ready honey?" she ask still maintaining the smile and the mixed happiness
"yes mum but I'm nervous" I replied holding her palms
She ran her palm through my face and they settle on my cheeks
"I know, that's how it usually feels, but know that mum loves you and she is always with you, she will miss you too " she mutters sobering
I threw my self on her, she hugs me warmly. I sniff back
"Don't cry honey, you may ruin your makeup "she tease. I smile
I love mum so much, she is my best friend, my first love, my world, my queen in fact my everything
Mum means a lot to me, so as I mean a lot to her.... She never plays with me, I'm her all in all, I don't think mum can live without me
I love dad too but I love mum most, I shared an intense relationship with mum which I never did with dad cos he is always busy and have less time for me
Mom is always there for me from the beginning, she skips work because of me... She can't see me in pain
I'm the only child of my parents, I'm living without lacking
I was born with a silver spoon, my parents really spoiled me with wealth
Today is my happiest day apart from other days with mum
Any moment with mum is full of happiness
Jeff is the love of my life, he made me feel and know love
I met him three years ago at Spain
We thought the relationship won't work cos of the way it starts
But we were wrong, it turns out the best
Love and trust made it to work, he proposed to me two months ago
Today, we are going to seal our love and nothing can break us apart
We will show the world how much we love our self and fulfil the last ritual
We slowly disengage from the hug, I will so much miss mum
"Always visit time to time dear" mum whimpers
"Of course mum, I won't miss that" I cut in smiling in tears. Mum smiles back
"Here wear this, is my gift to you" she said bringing out a diamond necklace from her silvery purse
She fixed it on my neck
"It's beautiful mum" I mouthed cheerfully
"That's how much I love you honey, mum love you so much " she add and hug me once more

I walk down the aisle with dad holding my left arm
I sight mum, she is smiling at me, I do smile back
I can't believe I'm leaving mum's care, I will really miss it
Father left my hand, I walk fully in front of the alter
Jeff took my palm and stands me close to him self
We smile at each other... This is a marriage that I will never forget
I know Jeff is waiting eagerly for our wedding night
I've denied him of s*x between our three years relationship
I'm still a virgin at twenty four, though no one will believe it, I will only give out my virginity to a man that I call my husband and that will be Jeff
Tonight he will have me all to himself, I won't think twice giving it to him
"Miss Mitchell Howells, will you take Jeff Robinson as your husband... In wealth, in poor, in sickness, in hardship until death do you apart" the priest voiced out
Do I even need that question, my answer is always yes
"yes" I replied and slide the ring into jeffs third fore fingers
He ask Jeff the same question, he never hesitate to say yes
He slide the ring into my third fore finger
We stare at each other passionately
" if any one is against the marriage, speak up or forever hold your peace" the priest hollered
But no one decline, who will even object the marriage... They are all happy to see this day
"I join you both in this blessed matrimony as husband and wife" the priest announced
"You can now kiss your bride" he and
Jeff slowly take my veil off as he reveal my smiling and shy face, he then slowly took my lips and kiss me so smoothly
The congregation arouse in clapping and cheering
Guess the happiest person today... Well I'm the one
***
Jeff and I book a hotel to celebrate the day out and make it a more memorable day with our family and friends
Jeff was raised by his single aunt who has a daughter, his parents died at his tender age
Aunt Beatrice, Jeff's aunt, is such a kind, generous and loving lady loved by all
He took Jeff as her own son and raised him up with love and care making sure he lacks nothing
Everyone was in a merriment, enjoying themselves.... There is lot to eat and drink
"I'm so happy for you honey, but I will miss you too" aunt Nora, my mum's younger sister glitted in smile
Aunt Nora is not just my aunt but my best friend, she is one in a million... She is just like my mum, she doesn't play with me
"Honey" dad join us, he is a happy and proud father today
He kiss my cheeks and pull them softly
"I will miss you baby, never forget to visit always. Even though you get married today, you will still be my little princess" he said in those glimmering smiles
"I love you so much dad" I mumble In a teary smile and hug him, in as much dad spends less time with me due to his work.... I never cease to love him cos he always use the little chance he has to make it up to me
To summarize it, my family is the best... Guess the best in the whole world, they showered me with nothing but love, I'm blessed to be have them in my life
"May your happiness never ceases baby, mum love you so much" mum said and hug me, she just can't get enough of hugging me. I know she missses me already so do I
Aunt Beatrice is not left out, she wished me happy married life. She wouldn't wish for Jeff to marry anyone else if not me
Today is such a memorable day for me. I sight Jeff greeting his friends, he looks so happy. I love him so much, I won't regret accepting to spend the rest of my life with him
As everyone was enjoying themselves, I excused my self to the rest room cos I feel pressed
Mum wanted to follow me but I urged her to stay
She sometimes acts like my bodyguard
I was in the rest room when something strange happened
The room was suddenly filled with smoke and started burning immediately
I could not find my way to the door cos I was blinded by the smoke
I fell down coughing profusely loosing my breath
Screaming for help but my tiny voice failed me, I feel the fire allover me

We are in the middle of the celebration, every where dominated by people all helding pleasing faces
The hotel suddenly exploded in fire, it was like a flash to everyone, none see it coming... It acted just too fast, the fire extinguishers arrives at once
People were already trooping out from the hotel, coarse filled the environment
The hotel compound was illuminated by people on run
I ran out with my husband and my kid Sister, then something hits my mind
My daughter! Yes my daughter!
Where is my daughter! I scream out rushing towards the burning building with a skin pain flame leaving my husband and my kid sister who are calling me back
The extinguishers blocked my part preventing me from invading into the building
"Out of my way! My daughter is in there, I need to save her! I shrieked totally going crazy
There is no way I can live if I loose my daughter.... The one that brought light into my life, the one that took my barren sorrow away, the one that made me feel like a mother
My daughter is everything to me and I can't loose her
"You can't go in MA, is too dangerous" one of the extinguishers said blocking me with the other two
Nora, my kid sister and others rush rush to the spot
"please sir, do something, my wife, my newly married wife is in there" Jeff yell out, loosing his mind already
Everyone keep on urging the extinguishers to do something not that they are not doing anything but no one was able to hold him or her self back
Mitchell is a loving girl, who do not deserve pain... The family favorite
To me, the extinguisher's attempt to save her is not enough... I want to go in and save her my self but they won't allow me
After twenty minutes of impatience waiting, the extinguishers came out with a burnt dead body
They were also carrying other dead bodies, some people were injured badly... They also helped them out
My heart flew at once beating faster, my body shaking
I wave the thought off, there is no way that body belong to my daughter but that doesn't stop my heart from beating fast
They move more closer to us, everyone eagerly waiting for their speech, I can see different scared expression on each faces
" We were only able to find this burnt body in the rest room and this necklace was lying beside it, if you confirm is not your daughter's, you can check other dead bodies" one of the extinguishers said swagging the necklace
My heart skipped at once, that's the necklace I gave Mitchell as her wedding gift and Mitchell mentioned going to the rest room before this incident happened
I hold my chest trying to breath well, the pain was too much.... No she can't be my daughter... My daughter can't be dead!" I scream out in anguish and fainted

Ten months later
Nora pov
"Doctor what exactly is wrong with my sister, she is getting worse day by day" I ask the Doctor Who just examined on my sister Angela
"Tell us doc, my wife has been mute and moody for Ten months now, she hardly eat... We only force her to eat" Jorge, Angela's husband cut in
Angela has been turning from bad to worst after Mitchell death ten months ago
It was such a painful day for everyone, it was hard to let go of Mitchell's death
The most painful part of it was that she died on her wedding day... A day that supposed to be a memorable and joyous day for everyone turns out to be the sour and most painful day for all
Jeff acted like a mad guy the moment the burnt body was confirmed to be Mitchell's body
He so much love Mitchell, I don't think any woman will be able to replace Mitchell in his life
Mitchell's death bring sorrow and darkness into everyone's life
Mitchell's death affected Angela so much... She totally changed and hardly talk to people, she sometimes behaves mad and strange
Seeing her those ways hurts my heart so much.... Angela is everything to me and I'm willing to do anything to make sure she returns back to her normal self
She raised me up like a mother after our parents death, she suffered to see me happy. I love her so much
I know how much Mitchell means to her, her death really messed her up
"Her condition is critical, and if care is not taken, she might die" the doctor speaks up
My heart skipped immediately I heard death...no my sister can't die, I won't bear it
"Then tell us what to do doctor" Jorge urged. I nod in affirmation with curiously for his reply
"The only thing or I must say, the only one that can save her is her daughter, she became this way because she missed her daughter so much and her absent brought a great trauma to her" the doctor stated
"But Mitchell is dead... How can she be the one that will save her" Jorge snap in
"Please do something to save my sister doctor, I don't want to loose her" I peads soberly
"There is nothing I can do, no medication can cure her, she needs her daughter in her life to be cured... This is the same thing any qualified doctor can tell you, I will be on my way now" he add before walking out with his brief case
We are now left in a strong dillema... There is no way what the doctor said can be possible because Mitchell is dead
Is this how am going to loose my sister ... Oh! No, I can't bear to loose her
"please Angela come back to your senses please, Mitchell is dead and gone, there is no way she will come back into our life" I cried out shaking her profusely
Jorge just stood starring pitiful at his wife, trying to fight back the tears
"Mitchell is not dead, she will come back to me" that's the only word she used to mutter out, she is not her self anymore
She is already pale and week, she eats less
The tears were rushing down in full speed, I can't stop them... the pain is too much
I must do everything in my powers to save my sister... No matter what it cost
