Chapter 7 what is love?! 4

...

Early the next morning, An wasa wake by four. he freshened up, got into the fridge to have something to eat. by the time he got out, it was already a half past six.

aunt Xia was already out sidebefore his arrival at large metal gate.

"am I late again? he asked as he opened up the small entry on the gate.

"No, at least not like last time. have you had breakfast yet? Miss Xia asked.

yes, the one that you left in the fridge but I have left you some, just in case your hungry.

"thanks but am not", you better go finish it up

or else it will be wastage of food. we're here already!

when am with you time tends to fly so fast and worst of all is that I don't know why.

"it's just jealous of me!!

why??!, have you become God without my knowledge or?

"am not GOD but I have you here. is it not a good reason for it to be jealous? he askedjokingly as he pushed the door behind them after entering the house.

I have many things I want to talk to you about. will that be possible to day?

"sure"

Call me when you're done here. I will be in the garden for now but don't forget to rest since you woke up so early to reach here on time.

" I will," as soon as am done.

.....

Has old Han contacted you yet about that boy's match?or do we have to wait until that girl makes up her mind? what a joke! An kaira asked his father's assistant angrily.

"I think so, but your father ordered me to arrange for the wedding as if he is so sure about their wound be reply.

"if he said so then why wait to get started"

okay, I will be heading out for now.

.....

Inform the An family to arrange the wedding . the wedding will be a cival one and the wedding itself is to be there in four days' time.

"I will do as you say. Lu answered after listening to old Han's orders.

"Everything will be set as you wish but don't hesitate just in case you change your mind about anything. old Han said as he looked at his daughter lovingly.

"I won't"

"you can now go and prepare yourself for the coming days. they might put a lot of pressure on to you and please try to control your movements for now since you will be a bride soon.

I don't need a grand wedding. Roline said before heading to her room.

let me hope everything go as planned or else.... my life will bea total mess. she thought to herself as she locked the door behind her.

The wedding was due to take place on a Saturday which meant that they had no much time left since it was a Tuesday but of course, with money everything is possible on planet Earth!

...

late that day, aunt Xia woke up from her nap and headed to the garden.An was seated on a swing. seemingly in much thought.

"what's on your mind?" you're never like this.

uncle took me to see a girl. she's called Roline. everyone in her house looks at her as if...she has a world treasure on her.

she asked me whether I had a lover but... I didn't know how to answer. can you tell me what all this is about?

at least I can count on you to know something.

Dear, did you hear anything apart from those questions?

I did but I didn't understand a thing from them. An answered after listening to aunt Xia's question.

"Now listen to me"

An, you're now a grown up person. it's also right for you to marry someone.

"Is it a must for one to marry?"

yes, and that's because you need to have your own family. I won't be here to take care of you forever. do you understand what I mean?

"but why did uncle choose her? I don't think she knows anything according to the way she's being treated at her home.

An, listen to me. there things that she can do for you that I can't. and there those that she can't but don't forgetthat there people who can do those other things she can't do.

I'm maid in this mansion and if your mother was still here, I would still be here or someone else. so as to help her out.

"what kind of things can she do for me that you can't?" An asked looking straight at aunt Xia's face.
