*****OPAL’S MANSION*****
Mr Opal sat in the sitting room awaiting their guest as Mrs Opal set the table. She finished setting the table and sat beside her husband in the sitting room.
He wrapped his arms around her while she scrunch her face in disgust. He saw the look on her face but ignored it tightening his grip around her shoulder.
The heard the sound of cars driving in, they adjusted their clothes and sat properly while waiting for them to come in.
They finally pressed the ring and they both spranged up immediately while Mr Opal went to open the door for them to come in ushering them in.
He shook hands with Mr Cohen before proceeding to his wife and son.
They sat down after the greetings and the warm welcome.
“If you don’t mind, can we proceed to the table?”. Mrs Opal said pointing at the dining table while they nod except Reggie who kept a straight face.
All he wants to see first is the girl before he will do something stupid and nasty.
He also stood up and walked to the dining table. He sat down beside his mum and brought out his phone while his mum looked around for their daughter.
“I haven’t seen your daughter. Is she in?”. She asked and Mr Opal nod giving his wife signal to bring her to the table.
She smiled standing up from her seat while Reggie groaned placing his hand on his forehead.
“Excuse me”. She said and left the room heading to Arlette’s room.
***
She got in and met her crying on her bed still in her night wear. She groaned and moved closer taking her seat beside her.
She touched her shoulder and Arlette flinched a bit turning to the direction of her mum.
“Why aren’t you dressed?”. She asked and Arlette hissed looking away.
“Why should I?”. Arlette replied wiping her tears.
“They are here. You need to dress and come down stairs to see your guest”. She said and she shook her head negatively.
“My guest or yours?”. Arlette asked and her mum groaned getting frustrated already.
“They are your guest and you need to come out and honor their visitation….”.
“Honor what? I didn’t invite anyone. So it’s best you go back and tell them you don’t have a daughter”. Arlette interrupted roughly while her mum hissed standing up from the bed.
“Ten minutes or I’ll drag you out without clothes”. She said and walked out of the room while Arlette groaned and fell on the bed.
***
Mrs Opal walked back to the table and they all looked up to see the girl but they couldn’t find her with her.
“What’s wrong?”. Her husband asked and she sighed.
“She said he wants him to bring her downstairs else she won’t come out of her room”. She replied as she sat down and Reggie hissed.
“Really?”. His mum asked asked giggly and Mrs Opal nod picking up her chopstick.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go and bring out your bride. I can’t wait to see her”. His mum giggled while Reggie looked away.
“Common son. Or don’t you wanna see your bride?”. She asked and he groaned before standing up from his seat.
“I’m doing this for you mum. Where is her room?”. He asked and her mum smiled.
“Third room on the right. Her door has a touch of black”. She replied and he nod before ascending the stairs carefully.
***
He got to her door and placed a knock on it gently but got no response. He knocked again and got no response. He twisted the nob and the door gave way immediately.
He walked in and scoffed at the settings and color of her room.
“How can a girl be this odd and nerdy? I mean what kind of girl designs her room with black?”. He thought and scoffed as he kept looking around.
“When you are done feeding your eyes, you can leave”. He heard a voice and he quickly looked around and met her backing him still in her night wear.
He did breathing exercise trying to suppress his anger. He moved closer to her and stood at a close distance.
“Why the you tell me to come up here when you are not even dressed?”. He asked folding his arms staring at her familiar back figure.
She gasped and turned to look at him. They both froze for a while immediately she turned to look at him.
He blinked rapidly while she coughed moving away from him. He turned to another direction while his heart did numerous backflip. She also turned back while her heart raced a million times.
She took in a deep and long breathe before turning back to him. She placed her hands on her waist staring at his side view.
She cleared her throat and he turned to look at her. She rolled her eyes immediately he turned.
“Why are you here?”. She asked while he heaved a sigh of relief staring at her face.
“You requested I come so here I am”. He said and her expression changed.
“I never said that or did you cook this up?”. She asked folding her arms below her Brë@št while he looked away.
“Why would I? Your mum told me that. Why are you not even dressed? I’ve never seen a girl like you in my entire life. Your taste is weird and odd”. He said shaking his sideways while she kept staring at him.
“You expect me to be happy when I’m getting engaged at this tender age to someone I don’t like, someone I’ve never liked? How will that make me happy? I’m sure you also don’t want this so why not let’s us reject this. “. She replied with questions and he blinked rapidly fighting back the tears threatening to fall.
Her words really touched him to the core and he felt like his heart is been ripped apart. He slowly placed his hand on his chest rubbing it slowly, he looked at her and smiled.
“If you don’t like me it’s okay. We can reject this if that’s what you want but just know one thing. I’ve always wanted to tell you but I’m scared of getting rejected. I’ve always lived my life in pain and doubt”.
“I’ve always loved you and I won’t stop loving you. I’ve always kept this to myself and I’ll never let go of it. You will always remain in my heart forever and don’t be surprised because you might just wake up one day and hear the news of my death”.
“I’m not normal. I can die anytime because I have nothing to hold onto to keep me alive. You are the only girl I’ve always wanted to spend the rest of my boring life with but since you’ve never liked me, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that and continue my boring life or just give up”.
“I’ll do as you wish but make sure you stay safe because I might not be there for you tomorrow. I love you”. He said and held her hand before walking out of the room with her.
***
They got to the dinning table and stood in front of them while his mum wondered what the problem is.
“I also don’t want this engagement. We both don’t want it so it will be nice enough if you both can cancel the contract and let’s live our normal life”. He said and let go of her hand facing her.
“I’ve done what you want, take good care of yourself because that’s the only way to make me happy even if I can’t be with you”. He leaned closer and kissed her right cheek before walking out of the house while Arlette touched her cheek and looked at the door.
She turned back and ran to her room as tears poured down her face. She sat on the floor placing her hand on her chest.
“Why do I feel this way? What the Fuçk is wrong with me? I don’t like him right? Yes, it’s Resse I like and not Reggie but why does it hurt? It’s hurts so much”. She whispered still holding her chest.
“Did he say loves me? Or was I daydreaming? No he shouldn’t. It’s only Resse that owns my heart”. She concluded and wiped her tears.
