Vera pov
Am taken a back by mom's sudden question . Imagine what we are talking about is far from the boyfriend stuff . I wonder how she eventually came up with such a discussion for sure .
I glance at dad who flashes his wife a ,“ let the girl be look ” but it is like mom is not going to listen to such kind of advice from her husband .
“ I think the food is ready , I will serving .” I get an excuse standing up and exiting the room. That is I fact one of the reasons why I knew it was a bad idea for my parents to come here . My mom is always stressing me about getting a boyfriend . And in turn I have always told her that I can live my life without a man in it and that is how I have been living .
Seriously I don't need a man to live happily for sure .
I feel some one approach me just as am beginning to dish out the foods in the dishes . I Know whom it is even without looking behind .
“ Here seems to be having something good to eat ” dad comments as he gets nearer to where I am.
I turn around flashing him a smile. Since I was young, u have always been so close to my dad . Dad and mom have very different personalities . I upto now wonder how the two fall in love. I mean the two have completely different personalities.
“ You seem to be getting on well even after we leaving to you all the work of the company. ”
“ Dad, that is okay. I am handling the work at the company perfectly well. You know I have always managed to handle it easily from the the start. ” I answer her truthfully.
“ Ofcourse, I know my daughter is the perfect in the whole world” he says but then posses for some time which tells me that he has something that he wants to tell me. I posse what ever am doing and turn around to face him.
“ Do have anything else that you would want to tell me?" I ask him since the truth is am sure he has something that he wants to tell me without any hesitation.
“ Okay, listen my daughter. ” he begins but then posses a bit . “ Don't take this in a bad way , I am just being caring towards my only daughter.” he adds .
“Are you seeing some one now ?” he asks nervously. You know dad never wants to make me angry and he knows that but I don't know why he has also finally started asking me questions about if I might be having a boyfriend.
“ DAD! You know me very well. I have told you already that I don't need a man to be happy. I am happy even without any man in it. If I have done it in all that period I think I can be all my life.” I reply almost yelling at my dad something that I have never done.
“ Calm down ” he comforts me as he pulls me into his arms to really make me calm.
“ It was not my intention to make you angry. But if you don't want me to talk about that. I promise I will not again. You know how much I respect you and I can't help it if you get angry with me. ”
“ I love you too, Dad” I reply truly.
“ We need to take the foods to the table before your Mom comes here to practically grab us out of this place.” Dada says with a laugh.
“ That is the truth.” I reply and the two of us bust out in uncontrollable laughter just like we always be from the time when I was young. The two if us begin to move the foods to the table where mom is waiting.
The rest of the time when we are eating , mom doesn't bring back that topic about the Boyfriend stuff but rather it sticks to business and family . Fortunately the family dinner turns out to be great until when they leave at about 10:00pm.
I am too exhausted and tye only thing that I have to do is hit the shower and get into my bed ready for the next day . Today has been hell of a day but it has also finally come to end .
After showering and all that, I head into my bed the first thing is changing in my phone . Ofcourse I have that damn missed call from Aimee, my best friend. Ofcourse I expected that.
Other than my parents ,she is the other person that I have so close to me and one whom I can confine in everything that happens in my life. I am not a social person as that and that is why my social circle is a very small one.
I relax on the the bed and then decide to return the call. It takes s few rings without answering the call until when she finally picks up.
.“ Hey, girl. " she answers from the other side so excited as usual . That is infact her nature. She is a joyous person.
“ You seem so excited too night. ?" I decide to tease her.
“ Ofcourse I am. How could I not be excited with such a man that I have close to me here. He has it all. ”
“ Oh, my dear Aimee. You are surely in love with him.".
“ Ofcourse , I can't wait to even give him a baby."
Baby, I didn't know that they were even thinking from that point of view. But then they are engaged to marry. What more can some one expect to get from a married couple.
“ I know you are calling me a fool , Vera but that is only because you have not yet got the right person to sweep you off your feet. One who will get you excited and you will only be thinking about him … by the way how is your wedding buddy. ”She changes the topic out of the blue bringing in that again. I roll my eyes at her even though she is not seeing me.
“ Don't roll your eyes at me. I suspect some thing else happened. ” She insists.
