Me: Mia?!
Mia: Liana, hey!
I gave her a big hug.
Me: It's been such a long time! How are you keeping?
Mia: It has been - no I am good and yourself? I see you are looking gorgeous as always!
Me: I could say the same too!
Mia: So... the last time I knew you, Liana and dinner parties did not mix. What's with the sudden change girl?
Me: If you could know, it is a long story. I got dragged by my aunt and uncle to come... so here I am! He said he wanted to introduce me to Lee Romano---
Mia: Wait! That Romano?
Me: That Romano Mia. Let me tell you, he is...
Mia: Don't be shy now Liana. He is handsome, right?
Me: I didn't say he was handsome. Let's just say, our meeting could have gone better.
Mia: Don't worry, once you know him, he is a sweetheart.
Why is everyone telling me this? Why should I care about Lee Romano?
Me: Mia. He is getting married. Why should I be worried about the man? It's not like I am getting married to him.
Mia skipped the topic.
Mia: Anyways, how is life treating you?
Me: The same. Until all my colleagues criticized me for not having a boyfriend... as if it's compulsory.
Mia: Babes, I get it, experiencing that is awful, but look at this - what kind of beautiful, smart young, elegant lady like you doesn't have a significant other by her side?
Me: I don't know, personal preference?
Mia: Oh Liana - you are still the same stick-to-her-decision girl huh?
Me: And she will never change. But enough about me, how have you been keeping up with work and everything?
Mia: It's good. Now that I am married---
Me: Hold up - married? When?
Mia: I got married in North Cybric 3 months ago, my husband works along with the Raynolds---
The Romano's rival family, the Raynolds...
Mia: And so we threw a lavish party but I, unfortunately, lost your contact details so I couldn't invite you.
Me: Or do you mean that your wedding needed the invitee to have a partner and so the boring Liana Rodriguez couldn't come because she has no partner?
Mia: Gosh Liana, you pretty much catch up to info fast! That was the case. Sorry.
Me: Don't stress - no need to worry.
Mia: Oh Liana! You are such a sweet friend you know!
Me: Ha! Should I believe those words?
Mia: Of course! Ever since the entire class went their separate ways after graduation we all lost contact with each other and as for me, you are the only person I know.
Me: Well... that is indeed true. And you are the only person I have from senior high.
Mia: You do?!
Me: Really.
Mia: Liana... may you not change forever! I do love introverted ones... man, you can tell where real friendship lies!
Me: Very funny Mia, but I am being honest. It's truly good to see you again.
