The Undefined Love

Lifen's eyes got widened when she looked at the names mentioned boldly over the wedding invitation card. She didn't expect the name of the bridegroom would be different to what she has actually thought. That means Guang is not going to be wedded to the person she has loved rather to a complete stranger. What was actually happening? She was sure that there were definitely true feelings between Su Yan and Guang, then why… She was lost while contemplating the various thoughts that came to her mind when suddenly she was snapped back by Daiyu sudden words. Maybe she was already talking for some while now but Lifen wasn't able to hear her words since she was all engrossed in her own thoughts. "Huh?" She asked when found that she has zoned out for quite some time. Daiyu readily spoke everything in desperation, "Lifen, what should we do now? Is Guang fine all by herself. I doubt that everything that's happening is not according to her wishes. She loves Senior Su Yan, she would never agree to marry anyone else" Lifen too think likewise. They have known each other for so many. She could bet with full confidence that none of her friend would betray their love, not even on the cost of their life. So there was definitely something wrong going around. "I also think so girl. There must be something wrong going on and we have to find it for her", she looked at the beautiful wedding card and then gently rubbed her chin thinking about something. Daiyu being an impatient body asked in a desperate tone, "Lifen, what should we do now?  We aren't able to connect to Guang and she is not in her home. How should we help her?  I don't think there is any good way in which we could help her Lifen closed her eyes and then said slowly, "Relax girl! We need to calm down first. There is still time. There must be some way to find out what actually is going on?" Her words held assurance that the things are still under their control and everything will be fine sooner or later. Hearing her assuring words, Daiyu's heart slowly got relaxed but still her friend's life and future were at risk. It won't let them relax completely. "But Lifen, we don't have much time. Have you seen the important dates on the invitation card? The main day is only fifteen days away from today. We need to fast". "Daiyu, tell me something. In the last two years, how was everything going between Guang and her family? Did they know about her relationship with Su Yan?" Lifen has always known that Guang liked to live independently. That doesn't meant that she has distanced herself from her family and relatives. She has always tried her best to maintain her wishes along with her family's interest. She loved her family but what she received in return from them was solely just love. Her family has always been very controlling on her. That's the reason they have forced many restrictions over her. So to some extent, she has a doubt that her family was behind this. But there is no way, she could falsely accuse them. She still remembered, once they have forced her to drop her college in the mid just to make her attend a wedding. There wasn't anything big behind their such thought. They just wanted her to feel that the reins of her life were still in their hands, no matter how far she runs. At that time, Guang felt so depressed and pessimistic that she has almost determined to end all her dreams and goals of her life. They have to really try hard to make her come back to her cheerful self. She has seen her suffocating because of her family. If there was someone there, who really cared for her, then it was only her grandmother. But to the end of her memory, she remembered that health of her grandmother wasn't good in the last few years. There was a pause on the other side of the call, so she guessed that Daiyu was tallying all her understandings and facts from the last two years. Lifen patiently waited to let her complete all her thoughts. When her friend got all satisfied with her facts and observation, she tried to state them in the most understanding way possible for her. "According to what I felt and observed, Guang's family attitude and behavior has somewhat changed towards her. After the death of her grandmother, they have become very soft towards her. They rarely force her for something. Even when she has revealed her relationship with Su Yan with them, they hardly gave any reaction to the matter rather readily accepted her wishes" "That made be doubt them a little but then we thought that must have seen the capability and talent within Senior Su Yan. They have even prepared them to have a small engagement event among friends and family. Guang was so happy about it that it made me drop my overthinking facts" Daiyu's words made Lifen realize something. She didn't spoke anything directly at this time rather kept everything in her mind. "Oh I see!" She trhen eyesd at the invitation cards that was lying on the center table just in front of her eyes. "Daiyu, don't you think the wedding is prepared to be very lavish. Look at the important dates. There are so many events lined up before the main day. And also this is going to be a destination wedding planned in North Devon. Don't you think, Guang would be very happy about this. At the end of the day she has got the real love of her parents" Daiyu was dumbfounded with her words. She thought lifen would be going to tell her the plans she was going to execute to stop this wedding but here she was totally going off the track. "Girl, are you kidding me? Don't tell me you are planning to enjoy the wedding when we actually have to go and stop it…" "Why should we stop it? We should go and enjoy it. Why to ruin the joy?" Lifen said in a ver nonchalant and playful tone as if she was really not going to do anything. "Lifen, enough! We need to be serious. Don't play around the bush. I know in way you are going to support this but I need to know your plans or I might not be able to calm my nerves properly. Please!", her words held desperation to help her friend. Lifen knew it too. Her lips curled up in an amusing smile as she said, "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen.  Panic won't bring any good to us so relax. Tomorrow let's go and find Senior Su Yan first.  We need to find out what exactly happened between them? Did he know about all this or not? For now go and take your beauty sleep. We have to prepare for our best friend's wedding too" All the words that Daiyu heard went over her head. But one thing was confirmed to her that her friend has some plans in her head. The only thought of this made her feel much better than before.
