The Lost Angel Pilgrims

Lotus P. O. V

I am Lotus Kent, the elder daughter of the Kent family. My father, Steven Kent, is a respected army officer in the country. As my father is an army officer, I and my sister Lilly have been brought up with strict rules and regulations. That was never a problem for me. But my sister was rebellious sometimes. Today is my wedding. I'm right now waiting in my dressing room for my sister. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Everyone used to say that I was just a perfect replica of my mother. I have a small oval face with big hazel eyes. My skin was milky white. My hourglass figure is not so bad as I always have to exercise according to my father's rules. I'm wearing my mother's wedding dress, a simple white gown. Though it has been modified, I can still feel my mom's embrace in it. My waist-long brown hair is braided like a princess with flowers in it. I do not like makeup so I have just put on very light make-up as it is my wedding. When I was lost in my thoughts, Lilly came inside my room.

"Sis, you are looking great. I can bet that George can't take his eyes off you today," she said while looking in the mirror. I blushed crimson red. George was my childhood sweetheart. We went to school together. After high school, he left to join the army and I continued my studies in architecture. I waited for him and he came back to me after achieving his goal. 2 months ago he proposed to me and now we are getting married. He really loves me a lot.

"Where are you lost girl?" said Miranda. She's my stepmother and Lilly's mother. Yes, we are step-sisters. But they never treat me like what people say or read about stepmothers in the stories. She's such a sweet lady. And Lilly is more than a sister to me. She's my best friend. I stood up and hugged Miranda. She hugged me back.

"You are looking beautiful dear, your father will be so happy for you," said Miranda.

"Someone is missing me?" said my father from the doorstep. We all laughed together. Dad came near me and took my face between his hands.

"You look just like your mother, Lotus. You're a perfect daughter. I'm so proud of you," he said with moist eyes. My father is a tough man. This is the first time I saw tears in his eyes. I hugged him tighter.

"Love you, Dad," I said to him.

"Don't make my girl cry, Steven. Her makeup will be spoiled." Miranda scolded dad. All 4 of us burst into laughter. I am the happiest girl in the world. I have a loving family. And today I'm going to get married to my love. Life can't be more perfect.
