Chapter 7 - Shocked

"Brother don't go... don't leave me please, please stay awake" a little girl was begging her brother to stay awake.

"Ba..by girl. You must... you must stay alive and please tell mom and dad that I love them so much. I love all of you and I don't want to leave you all but I can't endure it anymore." the guy said as he coughed and blood came pouring from his mouth. The little girl just cried as she saw her big brother closing his eyes and giving up before she too closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep.

Ayesha woke up from that dream of hers again and she wiped the tears from her eyes and then she stared at the small calendar near her bed. "Today is Sunday" she thought to herself. She is still feeling sleepy, she didn't feel asleep because she was thinking of the accident that happened to her when she was thirteen years old.

She start spacing out and memories of yesterday's event came like a flood into her mind, she then remembered that yesterday was Aria's birthday and for the first time she weren't able to attend. She also remembered that she had already meet his fiance and it was his professor in English. Because of the memory, Ayesha screamed on her head.

"PROFESSOR KNIGHT IS MY FIANCE! I AM GOING TO MARRY MY ENGLISH PROFESSOR!" She screamed inside her head. While she was still in shocked, her phone rang, it took her a couple of minutes before she finally answered it.

"Hello" she lazily answered the phone call without even looking at the caller's name.

"Yesha let's go out, I want to hear every part on what happend yesterday during your so called meet up with that mysterious fiance of yours." Aria said while brushing her hair. She had finished taking her morning shower unlike Ayesha who is still sitting at her bed with her bed hair.

"Hmm.. Ok let's go eat at your favourite restaurant, the one located near our school." Ayesha replied as she stood up.

"No, let's go together, I'll pick you up at your house." Aria said.

"Fine with me." Ayesha replied and she ended the call. She then went straight into her bathroom.

As she was taking a shower, Aria was on her way to Ayesha's house. After a 20 minutes drive, she arrived at the Gonzales Mansion and was greeted by the servants.

"Aria what brings you here?" Mrs. Gonzales asked as she soon as she spotted Aria who was sitting in the living room.

Aria stood up and went over to greet her Auntie Sandra, "Auntie Sandra, Good morning, I'm her to fetch Ayesha, we planned to eat outside." Aria said.

"Where you busy planting some flowers again?" she asked when she saw that Mrs. Gonzales was holding a gloves and a shovel.

Lucia Gonzales, Ayesha's mother loves to plant flowers. It is her favourite past time when she won't go to work.

"Ah yes, I was just finishing the remaining flowers that I forgot to plant last time." Mrs. Gonzales explained. "I'll go upstairs now Aria, I need to get ready cause I will go to the office. And enjoy your day" Mrs. Gonzales added before she went upstairs.

"Good Morning mom." Ayesha greeted her mother.

"Good Morning too dear. Take care and enjoy." Mrs. Gonzales replied to Ayesha.

"I will mother." Ayesha said and she went straight to Aria. The two of them went inside to Aria's car and off they go.

The two of them where caught in a traffic and Aria was bugging Ayesha to spill the news on who is her fiance. She just couldn't wait to know who was the mysterious guy that was arranged to her best friend.

"Yesha please tell me who the guy is. You know I'm dying and itching to know his identity." Aria is begging Ayesha to spill the beans.

"Aria I'm also dying and itching to put some duct tape on your mouth. I'll tell you who the man is once we arrive at the restaurant. On the other hand, just tell me how was your party yesterday. I wasn't able to attend because of that meet up. I was dying to enjoy that party but it was all shattered by my father" Ayesha said in a calm yet irritated voice. She was irritated because of her father and because of the traffic. She already wanted to eat some delicious sweet and sour pork and some dessert now.

"Well the party went very amazing and superb, I also didn't expect my brother to be there and it was one of a hella memorable party ever." Aria stated as she began driving again.

Ayesha looked at Aria, "Your brother was actually there?" He actually went home just to attend your birthday party?" Ayesha asked in an amaze voice.

Who would have thought that Aria's brother would actually go home after so many years of staying in New York just to attend his sister's nineteenth birthday party.

"As I remember your parents were nagging and bugging him to visit your house just for a couple of weeks but he didn't grant them." Ayesha added.

"That's why my mom was actually shocked when she saw brother yesterday. She even beat him a little." Aria chuckled as she remembered how her mother beat her brother and she even pinched his ears. While her father just gave his brother a manly hug.

"I would definitely visit your house and ask him for my present." Ayesha jokingly said.

"Yes you should visit him, I think he"ll stay here for good." Aria said. Her brother would be very excited to see Ayesha, she knew that her brother had a crush on Ayesha when they were still little.

They have arrived at their destination, Aria parked the her car and they went out and started walking towards the entrance of the restaurant. A waiter was guiding them to their seat, Aria have already reserved one for them.

"Here's the menu Miss Aria, Miss Ayesha." the waiter politely said has he handed the menu to Aria and Ayesha. Both of them are already well known customers here. Aria just love it here, they would sometimes eat here for lunch when they where still in third year.

Ayesha order a Sweet and Sour Pork and a Spring roll. She also ordered some chocolate cake which she was craving for earlier. While Aria ordered some pancakes, vegetable salad and a mango shake as her dessert.

The waiter listed their orders and he went back to the kitchen to give the orders of the two ladies to the chef.

"Now tell me who is your fiance." Aria asked as soon as the waiter was out of sight. Ayesha still hesitated at first because she also can't still believe who her fiance was.

"Uhmm... you knew who the guy is, actually you already saw him in our school." Ayesha said. Aria looked at her and she eventually guess who the man is for herself because Ayesha didn't directly spill the man's name.

"Is he uhmm Calvin" she said in a lower voice as soon as she recognize the man who is sitting at the back of Ayesha. Calvin just arrived and he choose to sit in the table next to Aria and Ayesha's table. So he is actually facing Ayesha's back.

"No he is not the one and how I wish he is the guy." Ayesha immediately said. "It's our Professor in English." she added in a low voice.

Aria's eyes widened as she remembered their English Professor. "WHAT? HE IS YOUR FIANCE?" she shouted.

Jinyue immediately covered Aria's mouth, "Shhhhh! You are so loud." Ayesha said and took her hand from Aria's mouth.

"Unfortunately yes, he is my fiance and he is that mysterious guy whom you are dying to know." she added. Aria was still in shock and she was still trying to process into her mind the information she had just learned today.

"Oh my god you-" Aria didn't finished her sentence because their order came at last. As soon as their order were placed in the table, Ayesha started digging her favourite food, the sweet and sour pork while Aria is still talking.

"Oh my God, you actually caught a good fish you know. And I still can't believe that Mr. Salvador is your fiance. He is just every girls dream man" Aria said and she also started digging at her food.

"A fish?" Ayesha thought. "He is more like a Greek God who travelled in our time today." she added in her thought.

"How can you say I caught a good fish?" she asked Aria who is now munching her favourite vegetable salad. "And why do you always eat that vegetable salad, you look like a rabbit or more like a cow." Ayesha added.

"You caught a good fish, on the second thought he is not actually a fish but a Greek God so you caught a Greek God because Mr. Salvador is not only super duper handsome, he is also very smart, he speaks English very well with his american accent and he also have that baritone voice." Aria said dreamily. "And I just love to eat this vegetable salad because they are healthy and it is good when paired with Kung Pao Chicken" she added while munching her food.

"Yeah whatever, you are just complementing him. Just finish your food because after we will go to your house, I wanted to see your parents and also your brother cause I'm going to get my present from him." Ayesha said then she start digging at her food again, specifically her dessert.

Aria just nodded, her brother would be very delighted to see Ayesha again.

Ayesha was busy munching and talking to Aria that she even didn't notice a pair of eyes looking at her back. Those pair of eyes are looking at her intently.
