Rizzy

After a long ride. I already arrived at my grandparents mansion. I'm just thinking of something that will possibly their reason, why they suddenly called and wanting me to go here. But I didn't assume that it will be a bad and a hindrance to all of our plans.

" Ija, you're already here ! " grandma said with excitement.

I just smile at her and asked.

" Why did you both summon me here right away, grandma ? " I curiously asked her.

She just smile too, and guide me towards to where's grandpa sitting.

" Hello grandpa! " I greeted and kissed him on his cheeks.

I'm not too much sweet towards to them because you already know the reason. I just need to act like this to avoid misinterpretetion.

" Before we tell to you the real reason why we sudden called you to come here. We just want to know, how are you in this past few days Ija ? " grandma clearly said and asked.

" I'm doing great. No need to be worry . Everything about me was totally fine, grandma and grandpa. " I replied and give them a big smile as assurance.

" That's good to here Ija, May we know where were you at in this past few weeks ? because you sudden not staying here for a while . " grandpa asked me, this time.

" I'm staying on Gab's for a while grandpa. " I seriously said to him. I don't give him any single hint to doubt about it.

" Why so sudden, Ija? " grandma added question.

" We just miss each other, having a bonding together more often as before. It just like that , grandma. " I faced and smiled at her once and for all.

" So, that's the only reason, Ija ? " she added again.

" Yes, it is. grandma... so can you tell me now ? what do you both, want me to know? " I directly asked to them. They taking it so long, so I will gonna stay here tonight. See? I know them, too well.

" It was only about a ball , that we were invited to attend too. " grandma replied.

" So , what about the ball? Is't that so important ? Why do I need to attend to that ball anyway ? " I asked with a glimpse of curiosity and disapproval.

" Yes, it is. They requested you to come there and so we are... " grandpa , seriously explained.

" Do I know who they are ? or Do they know me ? What is the reason that they requested it ? " I'm trying not to explode now. Who are they to request it ?

" You will meet them personally Ija at the ball, it will be happen tomorrow evening at 6pm . You're fiance will gonna be there too as your partner and us also. " grandma said calmly and happily.

" Oh, I see, tomorrow then. But what's the purpose of that ball anyway? " this is the last thing I wanted to know from them.

" It's just a Charity Ball. See this if you really want to know the other details, Ija " grandma handed me the invitation.

I instantly grab it from her hand. After that, I said to them that I was now leaving and promised to them that I'll be back here tomorrow morning to prepare myself in the upcoming Charity Ball that we were all invited. Luckily, they'll accept that and before I leave, I kissed them on there cheeks and said...

" Goodbye, grandpa and grandma... " and I hurriedly drove back to our house, to my real home.

----------

" Why they suddenly called you, Ija? " mom asked me when I came back to our house.

" It's just for a Charity Ball, mom...it will be happen tomorrow already. " I said while resting myself at the couch, beside her.

" Do you think it safe? for you to attend, together with them " dad asked me this time.

" I think it so, dad... I just need to go along with them just like before, so they didn't suspect me on anything " I honestly said to them.

"Just be safe, Ija... until all of this get to end " mom said sincerely.

" Call us , if you need some help tomorrow..." dad said in authoritative voice.

" I will, mom and dad! Don't worry... " I hug them both as I said that.

" Rest now, princess... you'll need that! " mom kissed my forehead after saying that.

" Good night, mom and dad! I love you both! " I kissed them in their cheeks while saying that before I walk in to my room.

It's another day for tomorrow...

----------

" You are so early, Ija! " grandma said while she kissed me on my cheeks.

" It's better than early, grandma... I'll go in my room now to prepare... for tonight's Charity Ball. " I said and excuse myself to her for a while and walk straightly to my room here.

My room here was still the same as the last time I entered and slept in. I was wondering whose gonna be that person wanting me to see me personally. Who are them to invite us on that Charity Ball? I know my grandparents know them but me? I was so curious about it.

As time past by, I already prepared myself for that ball including my dress etc. I stayed here for the whole hour. We already ated our breakfast,lunch and for our dinner, that will gonna be on that ball.

I was now preparing my look. I need to be beautiful at all cost, it was a ball anyway. I keep on sighing while I'm preparing. It will gonna end well...it need to be.

" Are you already done preparing, Ija? " grandma just walk in to my room and asked it.

" Almost, grandma... " I said while looking myself at my mirror for the last time before I faced her finally.

" Done! Let's go, grandma... grandpa's waiting us " I smiled at her as she smiled back to me.

We walked out to my room and I locked it first before we go outside the mansion, where's grandpa waiting us...

As soon as we reached on our own personal limousine, we instantly get in to that and started to go to where we are going, to our final destination.

To that ball..
