The little one gazed up at him with wide, curious eyes, and he smiled
A smile that could melt hearts. He began to speak in a low, soothing voice, weaving a tale for the tiny listener.

Mia

Ava
Sheks head rapidly * No, No I didn't do anything sissy
Mia
Pulls her ear * then what happened for this brat to start with " um" ?
Ava
Hehe..um that ..sissy...that ..
Mia
Twisted her ear* what is it ,say it quickly
Ava
I love someone and we both wants to get married...said it in one breath*
Mia's face went from stern to shocked. Her grip on Ava's ear loosened a little. Ava took a quick breath and rubbed her sore ear.
Ava
giggles nervously*.. Sissy, I met him online... he's sweet, Mia. We talk all the time. We both feel the same way... about wanting to be together. Forever.
Mia
Looks worried*...Ava, how old is he? Where's he from? You can't just... *stops, thinking*... Ava, you're still young. What about college? Your future?
Ava
pouts slightly* Sissy, I'm almost 18... and I know what I want. He's lovely, Mia. We understand each other. We want to build a life... together.
Ava
holds her * and I don't want to get married right now this instant, we decided that we will do after I will be 20 ...swings Mia's hand * but I won't do if u won't agree with it
Mia's expression stayed concerned as she processed Ava's words.
Mia and Ava were sisters, with Mia being four years older. Their parents had passed away in a car accident when they were both very young, leaving them without a family support system. Since no relatives had stepped forward to care for them, the orphanage became their home.
As the older sister, Mia had shouldered responsibilities early on. She studied hard and took up part-time jobs, driven by a desire to secure a peaceful and normal future for herself and especially for little Ava. Her efforts bore fruit over time – today, Mia owned a cafe and a restaurant, thriving businesses that stood testament to her grit. With these ventures, she'd ensured Ava got a good education and everything she needed for a bright future, sacrificing her own wants at times for her sister's well-being.
Mia sat down on the couch, letting out a deep sigh. "Call that guy over, let me have a talk with him," she said, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern.
Mia
Call that guy over, let me have a talk with him
she said,her expression a mix of curiosity and concern.
Ava's eyes lit up instantly.
Ava
are you for real !!???
She exclaimed, her face beaming with excitement. She jumped onto Mia, hugging her tightly.
Mia laughed softly, trying to extricate herself from Ava's enthusiastic grip. "Yeah yeah, now get off me," she said with a gentle tone.
Ava giggled, not letting go for a moment longer, her grin plastered on her face.
Ava
Hehe, u are the bestest sissy in the world
She cooed, squeezing Mia once more before bouncing back, clearly thrilled.
Mia shook her head with a warm smile, looking like she'd do just about anything for her little sister's happiness
Mia
alright,so .... let's see this " Lovely guy" then

Mia
it's ok ,u can call me Mia
Ava playfully tugged at Mia's clothes, and Mia chuckled.
Petro smiled and handed over a bouquet of flowers and a greeting basket, which Ava accepted.
They all sat down. Mia instructed Ava to bring out some snacks, and Ava pouted slightly before complying.
Mia's expression turned serious as she said
Mia
Let's get straight to the point, dear. Ava isn't just my sister; she's like a child to me.
Petro nodded understandingly. Mia continued
Mia
You see, we don't have parents; it's just us. We're all each other has.
Petro nodded again, his eyes filled with empathy. Mia's tone softened slightly as she said
Mia
I'm not looking for pity, but I would appreciate it if you'd refrain from meeting Ava if you're not serious about her.
Petro looked down for a moment before meeting Mia's gaze, his expression calm and sincere.
Petro
I'm nearly done with my business management studies
Petro
I didn't approach u first because I wanted to come to ask for Ava with settled and stable life
Petro
but I'm more than confident and serious when I say I want to marry Ava - I'm not playing around.
Mia
looks at Petro ,nodding thoughtfully* Hm...
Ava
Returns with a snack tray and sets it on the table*..You guys were talking about me again, weren't you? *pouts, her cheeks sulking*
Ava
gives him a mock-angry look*
Mia
watches the exchange, a reassuring smile spreading across her face*
The sun shone brightly on the beautifully decorated wedding venue. Guests were seated, awaiting the arrival of the bride.
Petro, dashing in his tailored suit, stood at the altar, his eyes fixed on the entrance.
Ava emerged, radiant in her white wedding gown, her hair styled perfectly, and a bright smile on her face. She walked down the aisle
Her fatherless figure making Mia, her sister and guardian, beam with pride as she escorted Ava.
As Ava reached Petro's side, he took her hand, and they exchanged vows, promising love and commitment.
The ceremony was intimate, with close family and friends witnessing their union.
After exchanging rings, Petro lifted Ava's veil and kissed her softly. The guests erupted in applause as the newlyweds shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
