READY?

Mia: Lucas?

Lucas: Hi, Mia! How are you doing?

Mia: I'm fine, come on in.

We went in with Lucas. Everyone turned to us, or rather, to Lucas to see who had come.

Ayla: Lucas, welcome!

Mr. Phoenix: Groom, welcome.

Lucas: Welcome, dad. Ayla said you would come today, I came to ask how you were.

Mrs. Phoenix: Welcome, son. Come, pass and sit down.

Lucas: Thanks, mom. How are you? Uncle Isaiah, how are you? Especially because I have to ask about you!

Mr. Johnson: I'm fine, son. How can we be, we are waiting for the wedding. Fortunately, a year from now, we will come to see grandchildren.

I was a little pissed off when my dad said that. I looked at Ayla, the girl turned into a red tomato with embarrassment.

Mia: Dad!

Mrs. Johnson: Isaiah! You embarrassed Ayla!

Mr. Johnson: What is it? I say nice things, don't I, Albert? Lucas, son?

Lucas: Fortunately, why not?

Mr. Phoenix: Groom, come slow! Let's have a wedding first.

Ayla: I, well, should I freshen up the coffee, dad? Or do you drink tea?

Mr. Phoenix: No dear, let's have tea now. Otherwise, we will lose our sleep.

Mrs. Parker: Ayla, can you get me some water too?

Jade: Mom, you can tell me too. Besides, I'd be helping Ayla with the tea. Come on, Ayla.

Mia: I'm coming too.

Mr. Johnson: You sit down, girl. We didn't talk about your university.

Mia: Sure, daddy.

When Ayla and Jade went to the kitchen, I was a little nervous. What if it suddenly comes down to whether I have a boyfriend or not?

Mr. Johnson: So girl, how were your exams?

Mia: It was great, dad. Me and a student got the highest grade in the class. We went through all the lessons, all of us.

Mr. Johnson: Who is this student?

Mia: It just came this year, last year.

Mr. Johnson: Girl, give me a name or something.

Mia: Alex.

Mr. Johnson: Are you close with this boy Alex?

Mia: Yes, he is my friend. Even Ayla, Jade and Lucas knows him, too. In fact, even Sky knows.

Mr. Johnson: By the way, where's Sky? Why didn't he come?

Mia: He said he would close his cafe and come like that. He'll probably be back soon.

Mrs. Johnson: Good, good. I haven't seen my dear son for a long time. I missed him so much.

Mia: Mom, you saw Sky more than me, you didn't miss me that much!

Mr. Johnson: I missed you my Mia, even come I want to hug you now!

Even if I am not his Mia (hehe, she is Alex's Mia😉😉), I went and hugged my father, glad that the subject had suddenly deviated. But I think I spoke early, because now Uncle Albert has started the interrogation.

Mr. Phoenix: Who is this Alex, Mia?

Mia: Son of the owner of a company here. He studied his first 2 years in America. He transferred to our university this year.

Ayla and Jade brought the tea as we spoke. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Again I went and looked at the door. This time it was Sky.

Mia: Welcome brother, don't talk about Alex. You just know and he's a good boy. So much.

Sky: Haha, they're asking about that? I will stubbornly tell you that he is your lover!

Mia: Sky!

He went into the living room without waiting for me to say anything.

Sky: The perfect quintet! How nice to see you here!

Mrs. Welcome, son! How are you my Prince?

Sky went and kissed my mother on the cheek.

Sky: I'm fine, queen of my heart, how are you?

Mr. Johnson: Son, when will you understand? There is no queen of your heart. It wouldn't be bad if we had a wedding too. We would see at least one grandchild.

Lucas: Uncle Isaiah, our child will also be your grandchild.

Mr. Johnson: Son, it's different, that's different. Mia isn't going to get married anyway, so let's get Sky married, right?

Mia: Dad! Again we come to the same issue. Maybe one day I want to marry the man I love?

Mr. Johnson: No. You won't love, what is it to love the men of that hand?

Mia: Ugh dad, ugh!

I got up from where I was sitting for Sky and went to Ayla's room, even though I was standing. Inevitably, tears came to my eyes. What if when he finds out about Alex at the wedding, he doesn't accept him? What if he takes me with him just because I've already finished university?Really, what if Dad didn't really accept Alex? I don't want to know my father, right now. Even Uncle Albert admitted that Ayla had a lover. Look, they're very happy now. They are getting married. I feel like shouting. My eyes turned red from crying. Exact. I buried my face in the pillow. Because I don't want to cry silently. I have to hear my pain. Or maybe I just want someone to hear my pain. Even when I heard the sound of the door opening, I did not raise my head. When a body sitting next to me stroked my hair, I relaxed as if I just needed this right now. But I was still crying and sobbing. Then the door opened and closed once more. I didn't know who was with me. But I couldn't stop crying. It's like my world has stopped right now and I'm crying out all the pain that has accumulated inside me.

Jade: Mia? You should stop now. Look, Ayla is worried about you, Lucas, too. They don't want to see you in this way, when their wedding is so near.

I raised my head. There was no one else in the room but me, Jade, Ayla and Lucas. I was waiting for my father to come and console me. I wiped the tears that continued to flow from my eyes with my hands. I felt a pain in my throat when I swallowed. I hugged Jade tightly, who was sitting next to me. Then I got up and hugged our soon to be married couple. Both together. Then after looking in the mirror and straightening my hair, we left the room and went downstairs.

Mr. Johnson: Dear? Are you Ok? I didn't understand, why you left like this.

Mia: Nothing, dad. I am just Ok. Please don't ask me other questions.

Lucas: I shall go now. I will come tomorrow, to take you to the event place.

Mrs. Phoenix: Thanks, son. Good night. Send our greetings for your parents. Ok?

Lucas: Definitely.

Ayla went with Lucas to send him.

Lucas: Thank you, honey. And goodbye.

Ayla: Good night, dear! Sleep well, ok?

Lucas wrapped his hand around Ayla's waist and kissed Ayla. They stood like that for a few seconds. Then Lucas left, and Ayla closed the door. Before she came to us, she put her hand to her lips, Ayla. I think it shouldn't be something to be surprised and happy about now, after all, they get married in a few days. But they talk by looking into each other's eyes with love like the first day, and their love is always like the first day. It's beautiful. Shall I tell you how they met?

}FLASHBACK{

-Ayla-

I'm very tired at work today. We are personal assistants to 2 CEOs of a well-known company in our city, me and Jade. We looked at so many files today that our heads were in a state of smack. We stayed to finish the files outside of working hours. It was a little late but after we finally finished, we packed our stuff and left the company.As I was driving down the street, I suddenly remembered that I had left my phone at my room, as we were looking the files at Jade's room. I told Jade that I was going back to the company and I told her she could go by getting out of the cars. Then I turned my car in the direction I came from. I left my car in the park and went to my room and grabbed my phone and went downstairs. I was about to say goodbye to the remaining employees and go out when it suddenly started to rain. Damn, I left my car in the park too! Nevertheless, I ignored the rain and started to go to my car. But the rain quickened. Luckily I got in my car. But I was too wet. The house is also a little far from here. I hope nothing happens to the car. Since it's evening, the road home is a bit deserted and dark, and it's raining heavily.

On the way, the car stopped suddenly. If I think of something bad, it will happen immediately. I was alone on the road in the middle of the night. I can't call Jade because she must have already slept. But it wouldn't hurt to try. I called 3 or 4 times. By my estimation, she was already asleep. And my charge is already 0%. I should die!

A passing car stopped when it saw me. In fact, he stopped when he saw my car. He got out of his car and got into my car, in the next seat. At first I didn't understand what he wanted to do, but then it occurred to me that since it was raining outside, he might have gotten into my car to talk. Unless, of course, he's a murderer or a thief, or maybe the mafia.

X: Hello, my name is Lucas.

Ayla: Hello, I am Ayla.

X: Can I guess? You worked overtime at work today, after you left you remembered you forgot something, came back and left the car in the park. Then it started to rain. You're wet by the time you get to the car. Now you were returning and the car broke down. Your phone is also out of charge. Am i right?

Is this boy a wizard or something? How could he guess? And so true! I can't quite see his face in the dark, but I can only see how perfect his face is, thanks to the light of my illuminated radio inside the car.

Lucas: Will you continue to stare at me, or do you want me to drive you home?

Ayla: Oh, sure. Sorry. I wasn't staring. Will you do that?

Lucas: Sure. Let's go to my car now. I would offer to fix your car, but it's already dark and it's raining.

Ayla: Sure, thank you.

A smile formed on my face as I got out of the car. Like in the movies I've seen, imagine if this guy were my future boyfriend? Ayla, I think you're crazy! He's just helping you! What are you thinking? Perverted pervert!

We got to his car and he started the car. I told him my home address. On the way home, out of curiosity, I wanted to ask how he just figured it out.

Ayla: How did you know, that I lived them all?

Lucas: I have 2 years of education. Both on psychology and on observation. The fact that the car stopped in this rain indicates that the car broke down and couldn't call for help, so his phone's battery ran out. You were wet when I got in the car, and you still are, and you don't look like a street girl at all, you're dressed simply. When I got into the car, I noticed that there were a lot of files in front of the seat where I was sitting. It wasn't hard to guess, you'll see. And when you saw me first, you didn't understand what I was trying to do, then it occurred to you, I got in your car because it was raining outside.

Ayla: Wow! Great!

Lucas: Thanks.

When we reached to my home, I thanked him again, for driving me to home.

}FLASHBACK END{

After that they again met in several places. And so on, now they are getting married.

By now, bedtime was coming, and Jade and I took our moms and dads to my house. I was staying with Ayla and Jade now. Because in general, I was the first to get up and if, unannounced, Lucas' relatives or something showed up, so as not to see our bride and her best friend sleepy because of sleeping late because of re-checking what they did for the whole day. (Please don't be angry either of you, Jade and Ayla, I couldn't find any other reason to stay with you ;))

I woke up at 6 in the morning. Actually, I was awakened. With the sound at the door. Someone is coming every morning! This time, it was Lucas.

Mia: Hello, Lucas!

Lucas: Good morning, little princess! How are you?

Mia: Hey, you can't call me little! Even if you call me little, you can't call me princess! You may go and say it to your sleepy wifey!

Saying that, I earned a chuckle from Lucas. But which of my words he gave that reaction is debatable. That I said you could call me "little" or that you couldn't call me "princess"? Or that I said "your wifey"? Oh, why do I think that?

Mia: Whatever, just come in. Have you had your breakfast?

Lucas: Do you think I did?

Mia: No.

Lucas: I woke up at 5.30, how can I have breakfast? Even the maids would be asleep at that time!

Mia: Okay, you just sit on the couch and I will wake up Jade and Ayla, then we will make breakfast as girls, then when we finish our breakfast, we will leave the house.

Lucas: Ok, ok, you just stop talking and wake them up, please! You are so talkative, Mia!

Mia: And you are too straightforward!

Lucas: Go, please! Or just wait! If you want, I can wake up Ayla, too!

Mia: Pervert! Oh, sorry! My perverted brother-in-law, wait for the wedding, or wait for the wedding night! Until then, in the same bedroom as Ayla, I wouldn't keep you even if I died!

Lucas: I forgot I had a friend as bad as you. What would happen if you did this poor boy a favor?

Mia: Lucas, I'll say it for once, listen carefully, I'll bury you alive, then I'll wait for you to die there, after you die I'll put you in a bag and throw you in the middle of the sea So don't get into a war of words with me! After all, the last word is always mine!

We both turned to the sound that came from the door. I went to open the door. And the person who came was...
