BREAK DOWN

While in the car, only breaths of two people are heard and the silence in the car is way defeaning. Alfred is driving but he is contemplating whether to drop Diana in the house and let her stay there alone or to go with her for her own safety. But being a gentleman as he is he makes up his mind and decides to go to Wall Street C where his parents live to just get his clothes and head out to sustainable street where his villa is however to his own dismay the totally integrated power module system deactivates hence a break down occurs just one kilometer towards the White's home.

Diana: What is happening, why aren't we moving already?

Alfred: The car just broke down.

Diana: Then do something about it because I can not stay here ,besides I have my valuables in there.

Alfred: I am not a mechanic so I guess I will have to find another solution.

Diana: Where are we even heading? I do not seem to know this area.

Alfred: To my parent's home.

Diana: I thought we were going to the villa, what are we going to do there?

Alfred: To pick my belongings because I had no plans of moving into my house tonight not until you involved me in this business of moving in today.

Diana: Then call your personal driver or something and get me out of here already.

Alfred: Is that really you speaking right now, I thought you are the most feared and un compared to lady in this whole country who does not fear anything, why are you then in a rush to leave this place?

Diana: You do notice that we are in a dark place with no houses or people just trees and that is it, I can always fight what I can see but how do I fight what I can not see .

Alfred: What can you not see?

Diana: Perhaps snakes, ghosts or even creatures I might regret meeting so do something.

Alfred: There is an option?

Diana: Which is?

Alfred: To walk for one extra kilometer which will take us around just 20 minutes to be home .

Diana: And how do we transport the luggage?

Alfred: That is your issue to sort.

Diana: How are you not even doing anything right now, aren't you scared?

Alfred: No I am not.

Diana: You do have a lot of money ,why are you not asking for any help from your father?

Alfred: Well because my phone battery is dead so nothing is going to be done.

Diana: I am starting to regret my life already ,I have never been this miserable in my life.

Alfred: Are you following me or not?

Alfred does all this on purpose starting from renting a jeep that he already knows is faulty to the suggestion of walking up to his parent's homeand the declaration of having a dead phone battery,all this is according to the plan and with the way things are he is so happy with how the rich girl behind him is lamenting which makes him slightly smile because he is proud of himself. Much as the distance is supposed to take an estimated time of twenty minutes, Diana is sweating and as if that is not enough,her ankles are paining her so badly because she is walking in a six inch high heel in a hurried way trying to catch up with her husband Alfred who is all in sneakers and walking in big strides.

Thirty minutes down the road and the couple arrives at the entrance of the Whites mansion, now everything is familiar and Diana actually remembers the surroundings, the couple is opened for the electrical gate and they enter but Diana is all panting and this is not because she is unfit but because the high heel shoes have really given her a good beating for choosing to wear them.

Once they arrive in the compound, the couple is welcomed by Alfred's mum who receives information from the gate man about her son's arrival.

Jasleen: Son!,daughter in law !

Alfred: Mom ! I have been missing you.

Diana: Hello mum, good evening to you.

Jasleen: Good evening child, why do you look all tired.

Diana points at Alfred and says mum, your son is wicked,can you believe he has made me walk for a whole thirty minutes in six inch high heels now I feel my feet are sore and yes, he has left my luggage along the road in some old jeep he came to pick me in.

Jasleen tells her son that it is so wrong of him to treat a girl like that and as a punishment, he is to make his wife some good food for her to relax but in defense , Alfred says that he thinks the jeep might have malfunctioned due to the heavy luggage his wife packed which prompts Jasleen to ask where they are going and she is told about the plan they have of moving into their villa that evening but it is already night time so they have to finalize with getting a better car to aid their movement which Jasleen disagrees with and tells them they have to eat first and then can proceed to think of their next plans.

Jasleen suggests that Diana go take a shower in her son's room and change in some comfortable attire like blue denim jeans and a white undershirt plus white sneakers so she is freshened up and with this , Diana is guided to where Alfred's room is and given all the necessary things to ensure a perfect bath while in his bath tub plus clothes and she notices how clean and organized of a person he is.So as she is taking her bath , downstairs the mother - son duo are laughing their hearts out and the mum praises her son for his unique antics that she could not even see through and says that now she is rest assured he can handle everything on his own. However the son also praises the mum for the good show she has put on and says he is now sure she is a reliable person.

After Diana's bath, she steps out all freshened up and all looking good and finds everyone at the dining including Mr. White whom she accords respect with her head all bowed down and greets him and a few words of affirmation are passed and after dinner is done they plan to leave but to their own dismay, Mr.White refuses to approve of moving at night and command that they spend the night at home and then can move into their house the next day.

Alfred is really broken by the decision the dad suggests but amidst all excuses made to counter his dad's command he is unsuccessful so Diana is told to change into pyjamas and when she asks the room she is to sleep in she is told she is to share a bedroom with her husband since they are married.

Diana can not believe her ears , first a car breakdown,now sleeping at inlaws not even their home and honey moon wouldn't be an issue but now she has to consider sharing a bed as well with a stranger and that too with borrowed clothes as her own are stranded along side the road which she does not know if they will be found. This is too much for her as an individual. Diana is sure that by the time she opts to get a divorce, she might need serious therapy because psychologically she is getting drained.
