31 Dreams

Henrietta's parents were awestruck,the stupefying news was unbelievable,Rose was unable to contain herself. "Young master,I don't know whether it's may old age that is playing tricks with me or my hearing sense is fading away.Kindly confirm for me whether what I heard is what you said.Did you just say,you and my one and only Henrietta ,are married?"

"Yes Mum ,you heard correct." Jeremy answered."

"Henrietta,is this the way we raised you? You took a huge step in your life and you didn't see any reason of informing us ,your parents.How long have you two been in this relationship, before you secretly decided to live under one roof as husband and wife?" Anderson asked.

"Mmmm....we have known each other for a long time,actually since Henrietta was in grade four." Jeremy said.

Henrietta who was hanging her head down due to shame, raised her head immediately she heard what Jeremy had said.This was the first time she discovered Jeremy had not forget her encounter with him back in Primary school,she was emotionally moved with the new revelation.She was infatuated with Jeremy ,she always wished to see Jeremy every day but if wishes were horses even beggars could ride.

Since that first encounter with him,she had dreamed about him severally.One night she dreamed of him raising her dress to admire a Phoenix which he had insisted he saw in her thigh ,she kept moving away from him and pushing his hand away, when he insisted she furious bit him ,unexpectedly she heard her mother's voice.As she opened her eyes ,she was astounded when she discovered she had bit her mother and was only dreaming.

"Henrietta,how come you never mentioned your Friendship,so you knew each other well and that was the reason why you stayed in his room when we went for the banquet.Children of today it's very hard to understand you.Keeping such important information from your parents is not a good idea,you may run into trouble unknowingly,all this time had been wondering how to keep you away from any suitors,so that you can concentrate with your studies but you were already two steps a head of me.So what will happen to your studies?" Rose asked.

"She has already enrolled and registered in the university,she will be working at the same time studying,she will only go to the university to sit for her main exams.Geniuses like her need minimal time with the books so don't worry, her welfare is completely catered for." Jeremy said.Henrietta didn't know,Jeremy had enrolled her in the university,no wonder of recent she saw many books from the prestigious university in the forest villa library.In her heart she was grateful.She decided to thank Jeremy later.
