You Will Regret

Two weeks before the wedding, Sakura was busy preparing and getting everything she needed happily. She was very excited as she was going to marry her wonderful man after two years of courtship.

Her parents were even more excited as her only daughter was finally getting married. They were in cloud nine. They booked the best dinner at a five-star restaurant.

One morning, she received a note through the post. She opened the envelope half expecting a card or a letter from friends congratulating her. There was a note but the content was short. There were only two lines.

Don't marry him. You will regret the rest of your life. Miko

She was surprised but not bothered as she thought it was only a joke from a friend. Her friends often played pranks and maybe this was one of them.

The next day, she received another note with the same message. She just tossed it into the waste paper basket. On the third day when she got another note with the same message, she was a little agitated. She took the note and met her fiance at a cafe. Her fiance read the note and just laughed it off. He only told her to forget it.

One week before the wedding, there was another note but with a longer message.

I told you not to marry him. You have not heeded my message. You will regret it for the rest of your life. Miko

It must be the work of some sick person. That was the thought that ran through her mind. She completely forget about the note this time.

Two days before the wedding, her close friends and former classmates organised a night out to celebrate the last two days of being single. She was happy beyond words but at the same time sad that she would not be able to enjoy her carefree lifestyle. She was going to miss her colleagues and buddies.

At the party, she was informed that they had invited Miko, a long lost classmate. She cound not really remember who she was but her name was familiar. The writer of the notes.

Her friends explained to her that they had often humiliated and made fun of her when they were in school. Miko had often cried in class and had severl times tried committing suicide. Only then that Sakura remembered her. She immedaitely felt sorry and at the same time was afraid to meet her. At one point she wanted to leave the singles party but her friends retained her.

It was a blessing for her too as Miko did not turn up that night. She was relieved and enjoyed the rest of the night.

On the day of the wedding, she received a parcel. Thinking that it was a present from a friend, she quickly opened it. She was shocked and dumbfounded. There was a headless doll with a note attached. The message read:

This is the last warning. Don't marry him or you will really regret fro the rest of your life. Miko.

She showed the items to her fiance but he just brushed them aside and telling her to forget the whole thing.

The wedding went smoothly without a hitch. People cheered and commented the couple. She was very happy.

That night, after the dinner, the newly married couple sat in their honeymoon chamber. They were enjoying a little wine and laughing.

He quietly whispered into her ears not romantic words but these:

I told you not to get married. You will now regret it.

The voice was female in nature and it came from her 'husband'.
