The next day-Eve and Alex went to their colleage.Eve came inside the classroom and waved toward Peter.Peter waved back with a smile.She came near their seat and said while smiling-
Eve:Hey,boyfriend.
Peter:(Chuckeles)Hey,girlfriend.(Puts aside his bag)Sit down.
Eve sat down beside him when he asked-
Peter:So,how was your weekend?
Eve:Umm...Nothing special happened.It
Was as usual.Just dad's friend's son came by and had lunch with us.
Peter:Friend's son?
Eve:(Nods)Yeah.You must have heard his name.Harry Matter Jordan Matter's one and only son.
Peter:(Thinking)Oh....Yes i have heard about him.They own a big buisness company right?
Eve:Yes.My dad is signing a deal with them so that's why he came by to discuss some things regarding that.
Peter:Oh...I see.Are you close with him?
Eve:No.I have just talked with him maybe twice or three times that's it so we are not that close.
Peter:Oh.....
Eve:How about your weekend?What did you do?
Peter:Spended it with my mother.We watched her wedding vedio together.
Eve:Aww that's so sweet.
Peter:Yeah it was really fun too.
Here,Linda and Ashley were looking at them while smiling ear to ear.
Linda:I am so happy for them.
Ahsley:Me too.They look so cute together right?
Linda:They certainly do.(Heavy sigh)When will I find the man of my dream?
Ashley:The man of your dream?
Linda:I mean a boyfriend.I badly want a boyfriend.When will I find one???
Ashley:(Chuckeles)Don't worry.You will find one soon.
Linda:I hope so.What about you?Don't you want a boyfriend?
Ashley:Uh...No.I am not really interested in those things.
Linda:(Frowns)Why not?
Ashley:I think having a boyfriend will be a distraction to my studies that's why i don't really think about it.
Linda:That's so boring.I understand studying is important but enjoying your life is also important.That's why you should think about enjoying your life instead of study all the time.
Ashley:Study is enjoyeble for me.
Linda:(Sigh)Leave it.It's no use telling you these things.
Ahsley:(Shrugs)Then don't(Opens textbook)
On the other hand-Felix didn't go to work today as he had a bad headache since morning.Thankfully it has lessened a bit now.He was talking with Sarah on phone-
Sarah:If you have a headache today then you should take medicine and sleep.Why are you calling me?
Felix:Because you are my remedy,Sarah.
You are my medicine who can make my headache go away.
Sarah:(Blushing)You...Sound extra romantic today.
Felix:I am always romantic.You just noticed it now.
Sarah:(Chuckeles)By the way is there anything you wanna tell me?
Felix:Um....Yes.
Sarah:What is it?
Felix:It's that......I love you so much.
Sarah:Oh that's nothing new for me.I already knew it.
Felix:Yo-
At that moment,Jenna knocked on his door from outside.
Felix:Tsk.Everyone seems to be after my dating life.(Mumbles)
Sarah:Huh?
Felix:Nothing.I will call you back.(Hangs up)Who is it?

Felix:Why are they here at this time?(Thinking)
Felix went to the living room and saw his parents sitting down on the couch.He askes them-
Felix:When did you both come?
Dad:Just a moment ago.Come sit.
Felix:(Sat down)
Mom:I heard you have a headache.Are you ok now?
Felix:Yes mom.It has lessened.
Mom:That's good to hear.
Felix:Why did you come all of a sudden though?
Dad:To discuss something important with you.
Felix:What?
Dad:Your marrige.
Felix:What?!!
Dad:Don't be so shocked.You are old enough to get married now.What's the problem?
Felix:It's just so sudden.You come one day and tell me you want to discuss about my marrige.Did you accepted me to laugh or something?
Mom:Felix,don't be sarcastic and listen to us.We have found a gir-
Felix:You have went as far as fixing my proposal?!
Mom:No no we haven't fixed anything.We just want you to meet her that's it.
Felix:I don't want to meet any girl.You should have at least asked me before doing this.
Dad:Do you have a girlfriend?
Felix:(Wide eyes)"Should I tell them?But I don't want to ugh!What am I gonna do?!!"(In mind)
Dad:Felix!(Shouts a littile)
Felix:(Comes out of thoughts)Y-Yes i mean No no i don'y have any.
Dad:Then what's the problem?We are not asking you to marry her right away.We just want you to meet her that's it.
Mom:Exacly.See this is her picture.She is so pretty(Puts picture on table)
Felix:(Throws picture away)I don't want to see any picture.
Dad:Then go inside your room and get ready to come with us and meet her.
Felix:I don't even know why we are doing all this when you already know my answer is gonna be no.
Felix went inside his room and got ready stressfully.He had made up his mind no matter what happenes he will not say yes to marry that girl,He is just going for his parents.
At colleage-It was lunch time,everyone was having lunch at the canteen.Alex sat at Eve's table today.Jina wanted to give yesterday's pilaroid to her but she couldn't do it because of Alex that's why she thought of an idea to make him leave.
Jina:I will go buy some sandwich for me.
Eve:Okk
Jina stood up but pretended to fall down again holding her leg as Alex was near her he caught her by her forearm and made her sit on the chair.Alex,Eve and Ahsley looked at her worriedly when Alex asked-
Alex:What happened,Jina?
Jina:Ahh my leg hurts so bad.I think it's a cramp.(Acting)
Alex:That's bad.
Ahsley:You should go to the medical room.
Jina:What?!No!
Alex:Why not?(Frowns)
Jina:I mean it's just a cramp why waste time going to the medical room for something mere like this?It will be ok on it's own if i let it rest for sometime.
Eve:Are you sure?
Jina:Yes but Alex(Looks at Alex)Can you please grab a sandwich for me?I am very hungry and I can't even go there myself.
Alex:.........Ok wait here.I will get it for you.
Jina:(Smile)Thank you.Get me chicken sandwich.
Alex:Ok(Leaves)
Jina:(Sigh in relif)I should be an actress.
Eve:Why?(Confused)
Ashley:(Frowning)
Jina:All of this was an acting to make Alex go away.
Eve:(Shocked)What?!Why?
Jina:To give you this(Takes out Polaroud from pocket)(Gives it to her)
Eve:(Looks at it)(Eyes go wide)(Takes it)
You took this yesterday right??
Jina:Yes.I know I did a good job.No need to thank me.
Eve:This is sooo cute!!Thank you so much,bestiee.
Jina:Uh...I guess you didn't hear me.
Eve:Yeah whatever.You did a good job.
Ashley:(Nods)It looks like a movie scene.
Eve:Exacly.
Jina:I-(Sees Alex coming)Alex!Alex!
Eve quickly hid the photo in her pocket seeing Alex.Alex gave the chicken sandwich he bought to Jina and sat down on his seat.
Here,Felix had alreay arrived at the girl's house along with his parents.They welcomed them warmly but the girl wasn't here yet.They were waiting for her when the doorbell rang.Mrs.Emma who is the girl's mother opened the door and both of then came inside together.The girl said with a smile on her face-
The girl:I am sorry about keeping you all waiting.
Mrs.Jonathan:It's alright,dear.
The girl:Hello,Mr.Felix.Nice to meet you.
Felix:(Looks up)He-(Stops)(Shocked)
Mrs.Jonathan:What happened,Felix?(Whispers to him)
Felix:H-Huh?N-nothing.
The girl:Hello i am Sarah Coper(Forwards her hand)
Felix:(Lost in his own world)
Mrs.Jonatahn:(Awkward smile)Felix!(Whispers)
Felix:(Realizes)Y-Yeah.Hello,Nice to meet you.
Mrs.Emma:Sarah,go and change your clothes.
Sarah:Ok.I will be back.(Leaves)
Felix:How come she is here?Is this a dream?......No no it's real,yes it is real.
So the girl mom and dad chose for me was actually Sarah who happens to be my girlfriend.Yes that's it.But she didn't look shocked to see me,not even a bit.It was like she already knew I was gonna come,why didn't she tell me then??I am so confused right now.
Sarah came out of her room after changing into a beautiful white dress wirh chickencurry design all over it.She left her ginger hair open with a littile makeup on her face,nothing much.She sat down beside her mother.Felix cleared his throat grabbing everyone's attention and said-
Felix:Umm.....I would like to talk with Sa-Ms.Sarah privately
Mrs.Jonathan:What?Really?!
Felix:Yes so if any of you doesn't have any problem can i do that?
Mr.Coper:Yes yes go ahead.Sarah,take him to your room.
Felix:Ok.Let's get going(Stand up)
Mrs.Jonathan:(Whispers to Mr.Jonathan)I think Felix liked her.
Mr.Jonathan:(Whispers back)I also think so.
They both go toward Sarah's room together.
Felix:What's going on,Sarah?
Sarah:What do you mean?
Felix:Did you know you were gonna meet me today?
Sarah:Yes.
Felix:Why didn't you tell me earlier when i called you then?
Sarah:Because i thought you already knew and you didn't tell me to surprise me so I just played along too.
Felix:I had no idea.My parents told me right before coming here.
Sarah:Oh I misuderstood then......Sorry.
Felix:It's Alright no need to be sorry.But how did this happend though?
Sarah:Well my parents showed me your picture and I thought you told your parents about me so they send proposal that's why I said yes,later got to know it was us who was sending proposal then I understood the matter but didn't tell them about our relationship cause.....I was shy to do so.
Felix:.......I was also shy to tell them.It's good though that this happened now we can be together without having to tell our family about our actual relation.Everyone
Will think of it as arrange marrige while wr both are actually having a love marrige.
Sarah:(Chuckeles)That's complicated.......We are gonna get married by the way.
Felix:Yes we are!It's like we are made for each other.
Sarah:(Smiles widely)
They both came out after talking a littile more.Felix gave his affirmation to the marrige and they left after fixing the date.
