CHAPTER : 1 EVARA

Today, my parents have arranged a meeting with the boy's parents whom I am supposed to marry. There is nothing I knew about the boy, neither his name nor his photo was available. Even though I have to meet his parents first, I am not satisfied with it. I have a bundle of questions going through my mind: Why is he so busy? which made him have no time to meet his future wife? Is that an excuse? etc.... Definitely yes. I am one hundred percent sure that he is not interested in me, nor am I. Then why this meeting? Simple, highly prestigious family which can bring great impact in my family. I am almost twenty-four now, and everyone thought I was past my marriage age. According to Mummy's concept, women lose their beauty after age twenty-five. But my papa always supported me to fulfill my dreams. Now I am a diplomatic citizen, and not only that, I am also a doctor, like the normal MBBS one. I am still working on my PhD. I never stopped studying, even after I pursued my dreams, and my parents are proud of that. But now mom wants me to get married. With a man of whom I didn't even know anything.

It was a Sunday afternoon. I was dressed in a very formal way, with a high ponytail and high heels. The appointment was at the Grand Hayath, which was thirty minutes away from my home. Before leaving the house, I was sure that I was going to ruin it. Well, I am not that nervous because it was a double-blind date. me and my bestie Stella, who is also a doctor and is working on her PhD with me at the same university in London.

My and Stella's parents are friends from our high schools. We all know each other so well. We both started our friendship in high school, and now it's going well. We were always together through all the hard times and good times. I could say without a doubt that she is my secret dairy. On our way to the restaurant, our parents gave us a ton of advice about how to behave in front of them. Well, this proposal was brought by Stella's aunty, her best friend, one and only son, which is Stella's date, and his best friend, who is my date. Anyway, a half-relief, they are not coming today. Thank you a lot, God.

''Please, Evara and Stella, don't open your foolish mouth in front of them. Just answer the question that could be asked by them''  with a warning, ''and then just remain silent''. My papa said there was zero room for any arguments.

''It's your first blind date, and you guys are twenty-four , so take things more seriously'' Stella's mom said. We both remained silent just because we were sure this marriage was going to happen, even if we said no to both families because they had already discussed a lot.

As we reached the restaurant, a middle-aged woman came to welcome us. She took us to a grand, large, double-doored room. As soon as the door opened, my eyes got stuck with the men who were standing at both sides of the large door. They were dressed up in suites even in these hot summer days. We walked through the large door and saw a large, rectangular table. One side of the table was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Allister and Russo. The opposite side was vacant, which means it was meant for us.

Mrs. Allister was looking very familiar, and soon I realized that she was the same woman that I met a month ago in my office. As we took a seat next to them with zero patience, I asked Mrs. Allister. flying all the instructions which were meant to be kept.

'' Aren't you the same woman who was there at my office during that renewal of your company's contract?'

'"Well, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law seems to be so smart''

.''so you are. Wait, first of all, I haven't been approved for this marriage, and Thank you, considering me smart. '' I give her a well-pleased smile. which made Stella laugh. Our parents gave us a warning to keep quiet, but it didn't stop either of us.

Stella continued the topic: ''It seems like you guys contacted my aunt intensely only to reach both of us, and why do you have to do all these things''.

Without giving a second for them to answer, I continued, '' Why do you guys want us so badly to be your daughter-in-laws? It must have something to do with your job''.

Mr. Allister took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Russo. They both seem to be good friends, and I have to admit that they both look so good in their tuxedos. He gave both of us a warm smile and said, '' Hi, Miss Evara and Stella. I am Dennis Allister, father of Ronan.'' He stood from his seat and gave both of us a hand. Soon after that, Mr. Russo gave us his hand and introduced himself: I am Stanley Russo, father of Nicolas."

Well, finally, we were both aware of dates named Ronan and Nicholas. I looked at Stella to see her expression; she was giving me an unpleasant look. During the entire lunch, we both kept silent, and none of them gave us the answer that we wanted to know. Soon, I realized we both have no option on this matter, and all this is already fixed by them. It does not even matter if we stand by this message; no one is going to give it any value. The lunch had gone as it had been starting with the starters to the main course, and then finally the dessert was also on the table. We both looked at each other a couple of times and remained silent.

As soon as the dinner was over, Mrs. Allister and Russo came to our side and said, ''We will give you both six months of time to prepare for this wedding''. We both know this was not a request; it was an order that was meant to be kept. And no go back in this matter.

The way home was silent for me and Stella but our parents had a long conversation on the way back home.

When we reached our home, there was a post on my name. There was a document and a photo. I am not sure what it was. As soon as I entered my room, I opened it. My heart stopped functioning; I forgot how to breathe; my eyes popped out; I was sweating. and the document says

Congratulations to both on our successful marriage. We would like to inform you both that your marriage proposal has been accepted and the final document will be issued at the end of this month. If there are any corrections, please contact us with your partner.

Ringgggggggg......Ringgggggggggggg ............Ringggggggggg......

It was Stella. I took the phone and heard her scream from the other side. ''Evara, I am in danger. I need your help. I am married, and the most serious part is that; it's with a stranger''.

''well congrats dear and I think you should wish me the same ''.
