CHAPTER 4

“WHAT !!! WHY???.” I asked trying to control my emotions from crying out loud.

“Yes darling, you will be getting married very soon,” Mom added.

“Why are you both saying this? But, I’m still schooling… why will I get married all of a sudden when I’m not done with College huh..?” I asked them.

“Elena sweetie, you have to calm down let us explain these things to you.” My Mom said.

“Okay,” I said and sigh to stay calm.

“Alright, I’m calm now… Go on.” I requested

“Well, we had a family friend and also a business partner who we met a long time ago but due to some circumstances, they lost contact with us. But, just recently they called us telling us that they got our contact for connections and they remembered us about an agreement I and your Father made years back even before you were born.” Mom narrated.

“What kind of agreement was that and Why Now.?” I asked curiously

“That when you are been born either as a girl or a boy by both families that one of the children of each family is to get Married when you all come of age of Adulthood for the Agreement to be complete.” Mom explained.

“Like seriously Mom, Dad... That’s truly one of an agreement you guys just made. And you said that this agreement was made even before I was born. That’s ridiculous Mom and Dad. Why will you both marry Me to a Man or a guy that I have NOT even Met, Loved or know a little about Him? What did you think that sounded like to you Mom and Dad.? I said as tears were flowing from my eyes.

“Please sweetie, Understand this… This is not only for our good.

But for your good as well.” Mom said

“Mom, if you were in my shoes.. how would you feel huh..? Imagine me getting married when I’m not done with College even though I am at a young marriageable age... I still can’t get married because of some agreement, I knew nothing of until now. Why? why??, why???.” I asked them crying heavily this time.

“You have no choice Elena, you have to do and that’s final.” My Dad said authoritatively.

I nodded my head and ran down to my room crying my eyes out.

“Darling, what do we do now... Elena is not ready for this yet... you know.” Mrs Morgan (Elena’s Mother) said to her husband Mr Morgan (Elena’s Father).

“Don’t worry dearie, we will talk about that later when Elena comes around. Let’s just give her some time to calm her head down.” Mr Morgan replied.

“Okay then.” Mrs Morgan agreed.

Gosh.. why will Mom and Dad do this to Me?

Now, I’m trying to enjoy my freedom by starting College as a Freshman. I’m hearing of the Marriage agreement.

Is not like I don’t want to get married. If I want to, I would but me getting married to someone I never knew, seen or met is something mysteriously weird and uncalled for.

I said while crying my eyes out.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door and the person behind said, “Elena sweetie, it’s us… we will like to talk with you… please let us in.” Mom said

**** Elena P.O.V ****

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my room door.

“Elena sweetie, it’s us... we are able to want to have a speak with you. Please allow us to in ok.” Mom pleaded.

I became hesitant to get up after an extended cry to open the door however I needed to due to the fact Mom already pleaded.

I dragged myself up and walked as much as the door and opened it.

They each stared at me searching for sorry.

I needed to reduce brief the glancing already.

“What is it already Mom?” I requested kinda irritated this time.

“Sweetie, we simply need what's pleasant and appropriate for you and your destiny ok.” My Mom stated.

“Mom, Dad, … do you each suppose that I may have an awesome destiny if I don’t recognize who my husband is and what he looks as if,” I stated.

“Dearie, I’m certain that he's a handsome, cute, younger and shrewd guy.” Mom stated smiling at Me.

“That’s why we're here.” Mom stated smiling broadly.

“Yeah, you have to dress up and meet with him to have a touch chit-chat…. I imply you have to have an extended speak like; understanding approximately his personality, how he looks as if and all that.. you realize studying every other.” Mom stated seeking to cheer me up via way of means of being funny.

I laughed at that.. however, stopped in a sec.

“Wait, WHAT !! NOW!!!?” I requested.

“Yes, sweetie, these days and now ‘ cos all of us could be assembled with the McCall’s Family these days... So pass in advance and place on a few high-quality get dressed.” Mom added.

I certainly nodded and my mother and father left my room to provide me area to freshen up.

After they left, I grabbed my towel and headed to the restroom to freshen up. I took a short shower, implemented a few mild makeups and placed a dinner get-dressed on.

When I became done, I went downstairs.

My Mom and Dad noticed Me and they have been like wow, wow, my candy daughter seems so quiet and delightful because of the moon goddess. They compliment Me and I blushed in response.

“Yes Sir, their desk is over there.” The waiter answered as he leads the manner to our desk.

I became stunned whilst we discovered out they've nevertheless now no longer arrived yet.
