You Kissed My Soul

Chapter 43

Aderyn Pov

I woke up to a knock on my door. I groaned feeling sleepy but still got up from the bed and draped the

shawl around me as I was feeling cold because of the temperature.

“Bell?” I asked as I saw her standing out of my door with a smile on her face.

“Why are you up so early in the morning?” I asked and looked back towards the wall clock in my room

and read the time “It’s only Five-thirty in the morning” I told her and yawned.

“Good morning Luna” she greeted looking happy as ever.

“What is it Bell?” I asked feeling sleepy and I leaned against the doorframe to support myself.

“I have something for you” she said happily and I raised my eyebrows and stood straight.

“Oh yeah?” I asked

“Close your eyes” she asked and I gave her an incredulous look.

“Bel-“she cut me off “No! Close your eyes first” she demanded.

“Fine” I said and closed my eyes.

“Ok no open your eyes” she said and I did to find a gift wrapped in a brown colored wrapper in her

hand. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What is this?” I asked

“For you” she jumped up and down on her foot.

“But wh-“she shoved the gift onto my hand and ran away giggling.

“Wait! Bell” I shouted for her but she didn’t even care to hear me out first.

I shook my head at her but nevertheless took the gift box and went inside my room closing the door

behind me.

I sat on my bed and looked at the gift box.

“Why did she give it to me?” I muttered to myself.

I kept the box before me on the bed and began to unwrap it.

I gasped looking at the yellow fabric inside the box. I held it in my hand and unfold it to find a Yellow

flare dress with a metal belt. I saw a note attached with the dress and I took it to read and found that it

was from Dylan.

Wear this dress and come down towards the front side of the house at 10 am.

Will be waiting for you

Dylan

“Dylan?” I thought

“Why would he give me this dress and what is he up to?” I thought as I looked at the dress.

I never liked wearing a short dress for the scars I had on my leg and on my back.

“Should I wear this?” I thought.

I fell on my back and closed my eyes. I didn’t even recognize when I was in deep sleep.

“No I d on’t want to wear this” I told Bell who was trying to remove my hand from shielding my face for

she couldn’t do the make up properly.

“But Luna you look lovely” she exclaimed as she tried to put on the lipstick on my face.

“No!” I got up from the place not letting her to apply the damn lipstick on my lips.

“And why am I even wearing this ? What is the occasion?” I cried out

“Aderyn don’t worry you look amazing. In fact you look totally different. Very famine and beautiful” she

praised and I shook my head negatively not agreeing with her.

“Can’t you see this? I pointed out my scars on my legs “They are so ugly” I whispered to myself as I felt

my eyes itching.

“What scars?” she came near me.

“I can’t even see the scars properly. You need to have confident upon yourself Luna” she told me with a

smiling face. As much as I wanted to throw the dress away, I couldn’t. Because it was his first gift to

me.

Sighing and nodding at Bell I took deep intakes and stood before the mirror to look at myself. I was

wearing a Yellow fit and flare dress which reached my thigh and it had a metal belt on my waist. My

hair was done into a side french pleat and my make up was light with mascara, eyeliner, light pink

blush and light pink lipstick. I wore a silver stiletto to complete the look.

True to Bell, I did look different. It was the first time in my life when I recognized that I could look so

beautiful. I felt happy looking at myself in the mirror but as my eyes fell on those scar on my legs, my

smile immediately faded away. Those scars immediately reminded me what caused them and I ugly I

really am.

I turned around and gave a small smile to Bell who looked contended looking at me.

“Let’s go now. It already half past nine now” she exclaimed as straightened her hair from her messy

bun and giving it a brush to straighten it. She was also wearing a pink short dress which reached her

mid thigh.

“Will you at least tell me what’s the occasion? Why are we getting ready like this?” I asked

“Oh! You will know now. Let’s get going” she chirped clapping her hands.

“What is all these suspense?” I asked as she began to pull me with her out of my room.

“Hey wait!” I tried to free my hand but she tightened her grip on my wrist dragging me with her.

Only the clicking of our heels could be heard while we walked towards the main door. I glanced towards

my surrounding. I felt strange that I didn’t find a single person in the corridor.

“Where are the others?” I asked confused.

“They are all outside. C’mon now hurry!” she exclaimed

“Wait!” suddenly she stopped before me causing me to bump into her.

“What now?” I asked rubbing my forearm.

“You can’t go like this” she told? me as she began to rummage into her handbag searching for

something.

“What do you mean by like this?” I asked and creased my nose when I saw her pulling out a blindfold

from her handbag.

“You need to put it on your eyes before we go out” she said as she moved towards me to blindfold me.

“What? Why?” I argued

“What the hell is going on? Will you just tell me?” I asked and stepped back.

“Lun-” I cut her off “No! Tell me now” I pressed.

“You will know” she tried to blindfold me again.

“Bell” I warned.

“Please Luna trust me” she told me with a sigh and I huffed saying “Fine!”

She grinned widely and turned me around putting it over my eyes.

“Okay! Now let’s go” she took hold of my arm and guided me.

I heard the turning sound of the door knob and we walked out.

“Be careful! It’s the stairs now” she told me and I nodded at her.

As my feet touched the grassy ground I walked even more cautiously not wanting to tumble onto the

ground.

“Okay! We are here” she told me and I felt her moving behind me to untie my blindfold.

As she untied it and took it off my eyes, I opened my slowly but closed it as a reflex due to light. As my

eyes adjusted themselves with the light a gasp my mouth and I put my palm on my mouth to hide my

shock.

There before my eyes everyone stood with a smile on their face. But what got my attention was the all

those balloons, balloon arch, tables covered with gifts, buffet system and most importantly those big

posters in which it was written in big block letters and while I read it everyone screamed with joy

“Happy Birthday Luna.”

While I ready on the verge to break down I saw the person come before me who arranged all this with

a smile on his face.

“Happy Birthday Aderyn.”
