DEVIL'S INNOCENT BRIDE

CHAPTER 1

It's been 3 years since I left my home to study. It has been so hard to be away from the people I love and care so much.

My one and only family, my grandmother. She is the only one who was still with me. I was an orphan. I didn't have the love from my parents like other normal kids. When I was born, she raised me all by her own with great difficulty.

I always earned for my parents love just like any other kind. But my grandmother made sure that I never cry for not having my parents beside me. She always made sure to give me everything I could ever wish for. A lovely home.

It's been so long being away from my grandmother, thinking about her made me feel more sad.

She is sweet lovable person, she is also very respected women in our town because of her decent personality. She always teach me the best. She always tells me to treat everyone how I want them to treat me. The best way and gently. She always taught me to be kind enough to help everyone.

I feel lucky to have her beside me. Without her I would been all alone in this world. The thought of it makes me want to cry. I never want to separate from her ever...

She always told me never depend on anyone but my future husband. And I always used to listen to her carefully not to anger her. She told me to save my first for my husband.

She warn me to be careful because I am too young. I understand whatever she says always for my own good. And I listened.

Now I think she is right. I have to save my first for someone who will love and respect me. For someone who I will be able to depend on.

I never had a boyfriend at school. Boys were being too obvious wanting to date me but I always refused and made sure to stay away from them.

I focused myself more on studies. And made sure to always make my grades more better because I was there for a reason, to make my grandma proud of me.

She always told me that when I will get married, I will have to obey my husband, listen to him all the time and give him many babies to make him happy. But I find this too ridiculous to follow her every words of being a obedient dog. Because it doesn't make any sense.

Why do I always have to listen to him all the time? It's not like he was God or something that I have to obey him like one.

I am the type of person who always listen to herself. Whenever I feel something wrong going on I immediately talk against that person to make a point. I always listen to my heart. I understand people who are around me if they loved me or hated me just by talking to them once. And I know when I am right. I could tell by their personality.

Besides I never want to get married and leave her alone. All I want is to achieve something really good to show my grandma my gratitude for raising me up without any selfishness.

Even though she is a bit old fashion, I never question her if she ask me for something to do according to her. I never want to disappoint her. I live her too much to do that.

She always wants me to be a successful and a better person, I know that.

She was the only reason why I went all way to London for my study. Even though I never liked studying. But I love my gran to death, for her one smile I can do anything. She is like my everything.

Everything.

Now that I am Nineteen, a little mature and I am not a kid anymore. I want to take care of her like an adult. I just finished my studies. And now I can not live without her anymore. Now that I am here, I will never ever leave her alone. Ever. I didn't want her to be alone at her old age. I want her to be dependent on me. I want to give her luxury life. And for that I will work really hard.

Looking at the streets to my home, makes me want to jump and dance in happiness. The streets I am walking right now is so familiar. The same town where I have been grown up. I look around me and It surprised me that nothing really changed.

But to me it feels like forever because I was not here for so long.

I guess it's because I missed it so much. I never liked city life. And I never think I would love to live in a big city. In there there is no peace. I love calm and comfortable environment. Even though you can't get everything but it's amazing here. [Author: Who doesn't loves a calm lifestyle in forest?]

I walked slowly towards my home while admiring the neighborhood happily. It was not possible to drive a car in this road. People here managed to survive without a city life. And they love it this way. They loves everything traditional. The household here were all old and beautiful. No one changes it because of old time sake.

As I kept walking towards my home, I could smell the beautiful fragrance of rose, lily, daisy, dahlia, lotus, tulip. The entire path was filled with flower garden to both sides. It was amazing to walk alone in this nice weather.

People takes great care for natural. Everything here is greenery. They do not allow anything from the city instead they like to make it themselves.

This makes it more interesting and wonderful to live here. Everyone is free to live their life as they want. Resident who lives here always loves help each other with pure heart. All these people who lives here are actually really innocent people.

It feels so good to be home.

As I was walking passing many houses, people around me keep looking at me with unknown expression.

I slightly smiled at them saying hello. And they immediately come to welcome me back home. To me it looked like they were more happy than I was coming back home. It's actually surprised me a little.

But It felt really good. This people are so nice to me. They started to look at me up and down to see if I lost weight to know if I was eating well in the city or not.

There eyes roamed all over my body almost making it look like admiring me.

I didn't understood their behavior. Maybe it's because they missed me? I hope so because to me it felt weird and uncomfortable.

I never liked attention from people who loved my hour glass figure. I look down at myself I was wearing a plain jeans and a simple pink t-shirt. I am a person who loves to wear clothes to be comfortable. I never love to wear exposed dresses.

My friends in school always tease me about it. They used to admire my body and wanted me to show it off. But I think I was just being the good girl.

The ladies immediately surrounded around me and started to talk to me. About my studies and stuff.

"Rose, you have become so beautiful."

"You are going to be a perfect wife."

"Your husband is going to be so lucky to have a beautiful girl like you."

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Get married soon."

"She is going to have beautiful babies."

This comments about me made my whole body freeze in shock.

What the hell was going on in here? What they talking about? I am still a child myself, why would I want to get married at this young age? And have kids? Are you kidding me? I am a baby who would take care of me? And how could I raise a baby when I don't even have any idea about it?

I so badly wanted to tell them to please shut your mouth. Because I wanted to be more than a perfect housewife and a mother.

They were so wrong about me being perfect. I was not perfect. No one is! But we all have learn from it and make ourselves better everyday.

I wanted to be a good person first who will be able to do something good for people and help them.

But I kept my mouth shut because I don't want to be disrespectful towards these ladies. They were elders. And I have to make sure that they are not unhappy because of my sharp words of truth.

Finally they decided to stop talking about my married life. They give me sweet and snacks to eat with my grandma. I politely thanked them. My hands were equipped with my luggage and their gifts.

As I walk past them they had huge smile on their face. I felt kind of relax now because of their kindness towards me. But the way they talked to me it almost felt like they were waiting for me to come back home.

But why?

I was really confused. I didn't realize when I finally reached home. It was small but really nice and pretty. We had a little garden and it was filled with my favorite rose flowers. I was happy that grandma took great care of them.

"Grandmother!" I screamed loudly calling her wanting to get her attention by jumping up and down like a little kid.

One of the kids look at me as if I was the child in here. I give them a blank look. "What?" I asked them.

"You are more childish then we are." They all repeated narrowing their eyes on me. Do they really think they have become an adult. Every kids present here was maybe 5 to 7 years old.

"Come on, can't I be excited a little for coming back?" I whined making a pouty face.

".........." This was literally there reaction.

"Let's not waste our time." One of the kids said with a bored expression. Saying this right to my face they left.

I was too shocked to say anything to them. Was I boring? Or they are just too advanced?

Anyways......

I walked towards the door of my home calmly like a mature person. God! That was literally so embarrassing. I knocked on the door twice loudly calling her name excitedly forgetting my manners again.

The door opened revealing my beautiful granny.

I jumped into her arms hugging. I felt like was going to cry any moment. I was so happy! She started to laugh at my childish behavior.

"I missed you so much gran!" I started to sob loudly from excitement. I was so happy to be here.

"Ohhh my rose, I missed you too my baby"she looked like she's going to cry.

"Please don't cry!" I immediately wiped her tears as well as mine.

"Come on in, sweetheart". She told me opening the door wider.

I went inside and it felt like heaven. My eyes went over the entire house admiring it deeply. The entire house smells like something delicious is cooking inside the my grans kitchen.

Yum..... I can't wait to have her delicious food. I always lived her cooking. So when I was small, I was a greedy child when it comes to her delicious food. She made the best food in this whole world.

When I was living alone all in there. I never like food in there so most of the time I used to keep myself serve. My grandmother really had spoiled me. I missed her cooking while eating tasteless food. Maybe it's because I missed it do much.

I turned around to face her with again tears in my eyes.

"It was so hard to live without you gran." I almost cried remembering how much I had missed her in there.

"I know sweetheart, but it is also really important to get education." she tried to reason me.

"Hmm, I know." my stomach growl a little.

"Look at you now, you have become so mature and understanding. What am I even saying? You were always a good child."

I smiled at my sweet beautiful grandma.

"Gran?"

"Yes sweetheart" she smiled widely at me.

"I am so hungry" I complained rubbing my flat stomach making my rosy lips more pouty like little baby.

"Haha, come sit in here, I made something really delicious for you."she showed me the dining table in the hall.

She went inside the kitchen and came with a plate full with lasagna and all my favorite dishes. Ohh my god! it's all my favorite!

"Thanks gran, it's been so long since I eat this. I love you do much." Me being me, I kept eating like I didn't eat food in years. But how could I miss this opportunity to devour every bite. That too the most delicious food made by my grandma.

"Thank you, sweetheart, Slow down sweety, eat more." she tried to stop me.

"Hmm" not slowing down. Seeing me this way she started to laugh. It was so nice to be here, it felt like I was never gone. Just like this old days.

Grandmother was asking me questions about my further studies. And what I wanted to do right now. I was telling her some of my interesting roommate's story. She sat beside me while serving me more delicious food made by her. I was truly grateful to God.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There was a sudden loud knock on the door.

Who is it??!
