Unexpected

In the café

We order the drinks and wait for them to be served. While waiting, Lucy and James were continuously talking with each other, whereas on our side, there was awkward silence. I wasn't the type of person who would strike the communication first, but if other partry says even a single word, then I would have communicated well. Here, both of us were not talking, so the situation was getting awkward. Finally, after a few minutes, Eric said hi, but before I could reply, I got a call, and it was an important one, so I excused myself to receive it.

After taking a call, I went to our table and told Lucy I needed to take a leave. She asked me why you were suddenly leaving. Did something happen? I told her there is someone who is really very precious and important coming to meet me, so I need to go. I also told her I had already paid for our drinks and moved out of the café.

With a glow in my face, I started running towards the gate. As I saw two people standing in the gate, I ran towards them and hugged them. It has been six whole months before I met my parents. It was so long because I came to the city to study; they were staying in the village. After a few moments, I saw Eric coming towards us with a cup of coffee on his hands. What?? My heartbeat started to increase its speed, and my nervousness was also increasing at the same speed. It was certain that he was coming for me, and I felt nervous because throughout my whole life till now, I never introduced any boy to my parents, even as a friend.

He came towards us and handed the coffee to me, saying it would be a waste if there were no one to drink it. I just nodded my head in an agreeable way. After that, out of nowhere, my dad asked me, "Your boyfriend?" When I heard that, I started to feel shy, and one thing was for sure: if I didn't speak, then and there, I might start to turn red. So I told my parents no; he is a friend. And again, dad asked if you liked him, right? At the moment, there were so many thoughts arising in my mind, like should I confess now or do I need to know him more? To avoid the situation, I told my parents he is my friend, of course. I like him, but not more than you guys. When I saw his face, I realized he was actually expecting an answer to that question, and it felt as if he also liked me. After that, my dad turned towards him and said, "If you mind, would you like to join us? We were going to get dinner. My mind went blank when I heard my dad. He replied, "My dad may be next time, uncle. I heard from Lucy. You guys haven't caught up for quite a long time. After that, we waved bye and went to our own destination.
