MY EX BOYFRIEND
(Part 10)
Grandma you can’t be serious with this, I don’t know what precious reaction would be, look she is still studying he added.
That is it, get married to precious or let yourself tied to that arrange marriage your “choice” the old woman said in a firm voice as if her decision wouldn’t change no matter what he would say after that she left the room.
David never thought he would be in this kind of situation, how could he tell precious that the terms have changed and they need to get married? He imagine what could be her reaction.
Everything was so unclear to me, my father wanted me to marry someone i haven’t met, while grandma wants me to marry precious, but for me precious is the best choice, because as for me we are already in a relationship.
David was thinking about everything when he dozed off, he wake up later in the night and check his time, is already 9:pm in the night, he really wants to see precious because it’s already two days that he saw her last, he quickly grab his car key and about leaving the house when his Aunt called him.
And where are you going by this time?, you haven’t have your dinner, he didn’t answer her, he just hiss and Left.
He drove straight to precious house and knock on the door, precious look through the window and saw David, she was happy to see him, though she doesn’t want the man to know that, she went to open the door for him.
And what are you doing Here by this time of the night?.
Is that how you greet me, my dear girlfriend, he opened the door by himself and went straight to the living room and seat down.
What happened do you have fight with your family or your Aunt? She asked again.
Im fine dear i just wanted to see you and again im hungry i left the house without having my dinner, he said.
Okay let me go inside the kitchen to prepare something for you
She went inside the kitchen and brought out food from the fridge and put it in a microwave.
David followed her to the kitchen, she almost bumped to him, their body were few inches away from their body, the only sound she could hear was the beating of their heart.
His face was getting closer to her and she closed her eyes, her heartbeat even double More, because of what she think was going to happen.
She closed her eyes so tight as their lips were getting more closer.
Click, the sound of the microwave brought them to their Senses.
Oh im sorry, they become confused, he left the kitchen to the living room, because he felt very ashamed and precious felt the same way, she brought out the Food and serve to him.
Precious there is something very important that i would like to discuss with you, please.
Okay but finish your food first, then we can talk.
So how is grandma? She asked.
She is fine, she is asking after you, you really catch her heart, she loves you so much.
Yes maybe because i played her favorite song in the piano, she said and smiled.
So tell me why are you here? What happened, she asked him when she knows that he have finished eating.
Did i make you feel nervous? He asked.
Well let’s say yes because my dad is around and you know he haven’t met you before.
Can we go somewhere to talk?
No i can’t go out by this time of the night, my parents might be worried about me, so let’s talk here.
It took a couple of time before David could say anything.
“We need to get married”
You have to marry me David said again.
Precious felt like her heart has stop beating, she doesn’t know if she should laugh or what, she didn’t know what to answer him.
Is this some kind of prank? She asked and shook her head.
No im very serious about it, precious, that is why i wanted us to go somewhere and talk.
Can’t we talked about it tomorrow? She said while thinking about the situation she has put herself into.
Her mother always remind her to finish her master’s degree and then get a job, she has a lot to do to herself before thinking of marriage, i don’t know why he is talking about marriage now.
She looked at the Man and she couldn’t help but imagine herself being his wife.
What do you think? Can you go out with me, i need to tell you everything, he said which made her dumbfounded.
How can i get married to him when we only met few weeks ago, wasn’t he being so fast?.
Just wait for me here let me inform my mother, she knock oh her mother’s room and she opened the door for her.
I’m sorry Mom, David is here and we wanted us to go out to talk about something.
Okay just make sure you take care of yourself and ask him to drop you off
Alright mum thank you, She left.
Let’s go, I have talked to mom.
Thank you precious, they both went out of the house.
Let’s go somewhere cool I think we can talk there.
He drove to the park, suddenly the car stop and they come down, they sat on a bench.
So what do you want to tell me? She asked him
IAM sorry precious I don’t know how your reaction would be, i tried, he said in a low voice.
I know that marriage is a big deal for me, we can be pretend boyfriend and girlfriend, but to be Husband and wife, I don’t think that’s a good idea, she said as she tried to be calm.
I know how you feel, i feel the same too, I’m not going to force you to do it.
But seriously? You still cannot get your inheritance, she asked out if curiosity.
Yes, unfortunately grandma and dad spoke to me and gave me a choice, ” marry you or marry the woman that I barely know” he said in a bitter tone.
Well it’s time for me to give up my dream and just let my cousin take over the company instead, i have been through alot, it’s hard to prove to people around me.
She could see the sadness in his eyes but what could she do, my mom wouldn’t like it and it will be a surprise to my dad and again I’m not yet ready to get married.
I’m just really confused, while of a sudden they wanted you to get married.
They believe that if i get married i would be More responsible and they told me that I’m not going to have my inheritance unless i get married.
Please precious let’s get married? He plead.
I’m sorry David I’m not yet ready to get married.
You don’t have to be sorry, I understand, like wise me I’m not even yet ready to get married, my family are really putting me into a big pressure.
Okay we have to start going, is already late
They both entered the car and he drove her back to her house.
Immediately he drop her, he quickly drove back because he has alot in his head.
He didn’t want to drive back to his house, because he was very Angry with everyone, instead he drove to his friends place that have a bar and decided to drink his life out.
But his friends stop him and he entered the car and start driving again back home.
He suddenly thought about precious, and he was hurt deep inside him, when precious refuse to get married to him.
