My eyes fluttered open. Darkness surrounded me. I no longer felt warmth from Kartik. He was only a Rebel Angel. A figure out of reach…
"Gemma." "GEMMA!" I woke with a start, and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Tom peering over me with immense curiosity. "Are you ok? I haven't seen you this frightened for a while." Help me Tom I don't want to marry Simon. I love Kartik and I always will.
"Yes Tom I'm quite alright, just spooked, that's all. I haven't really thought about the fact that I'm marrying Simon. Its, its just I'm scared I guess. I'm marrying this man yet I've already been asked. Just not by him."
"Gemma? Can I give you some advice? You were asked to be married be an Indian. Things like that don't happen. They never will. If you really feel like you belong with that Kartim... go but you'll break Grandmamma's heart and Simon's. You'd live in India wouldn't you?"
"Kartik, Tom, his name is Kartik." I sat up in bed and glanced around the room. I saw head peek out of my wardrobe. My heart fluttered, Kartik was here. He didn't leave me. I was so giddy I was about to jump out of bed and do a dance. I suppressed a smile so hard Tom looked at me and said
"Gemma you look a sight, your face is turning red. Oh dear you aren't indisposed are you?" He could barely say this.
"No Tom but I'm going to lay down a bit maybe rest. Ok?"
"Yes yes fine" he said distractedly walking out.
