Kapitel 5: Meeting her Fiance

It was a cold Saturday morning since it rained last night. Ayesha is busy preparing her gift for Aria when her father entered her room and told her that today is the day that she will finally meet her fiance because the last time they arrange a small party for both families, the young man didn't arrive.

"What? I cannot meet him today! Nobody told me that we will meet them today. And besides, I already had made plans." Ayesha said.

"Your mother did inform you last night!" Ayesha's father uttered calmly. Ayesha remembered that her mother went in but she cannot remember what she said since she was so busy thinking about the confession.

"But father, I cannot meet him today. You know it's Aria's birthday today. I need to attend her birthday party." Ayesha reasoned out because she is still not yet ready to meet his soon-to-be husband because she knew when the time they would meet each other. The wedding will be held as soon as possible.

"You can just text Aria that today you will be meeting your fiance and that you cannot attend her party. Ayesha this will only be the first time that you cannot attend Aria's birthday, I know she can understand you." Ayesha's father said.

When her father got out of her room, Ayesha let out a heavy sigh, she is very upset at her father but she knew that she cannot defy his orders. And besides this supposed to be meet up with her fiance was already postponed for too long and even though she doesn't want to be married, she is also curious about who might her fiance be. She can just go against this marriage once she knew who he was.

Ayesha just nodded and grab her phone to send Aria a message.

"Aria, I'm sorry. I cannot attend your birthday party. Father set me up to another "meeting the fiance" but I think this one would be successful. I will just ask Butler David to send my birthday gift today." Ayesha texted and she then went to the bathroom to prepare herself.

Aria saw the text of her best friend and was a little bit sad because she cannot attend her party but at the same time, she is happy for her because she will finally meet him. She can't wait to ask her Ayesha who the guy is.

"It's okay Yesha and thank you for your gift." she texted back.

After Ayesha had finished her dressing up. She then went out to go to the dining area. She had already read Aria's message.

"The Salvador family called and they said that they will arrive at around 1 o'clock this afternoon." Ayesha's father said.

"Ayesha we know that you are not yet ready to get married but this is your Grandfather's wish." Ayesha's mother said.

Ayesha just nodded and played with her food while thinking of Aria's party. She badly wanted to go because it is her best friend's birthday party.

----

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the Salvador Family arrive and they were personally welcome by Mr. Gonzales.

"Welcome back to our humble abode." said Mr. Gonzales said while shaking the hands of Mr. Salvador and Mrs. Salvador. "And you must be Knight?" he asked Knight and also give him a manly hug and he then leads them to the living room.

Ayesha was busy texting Aria thus she didn't notice that the Salvador Family had arrived.

"Ayesha stop texting where are your manners." Mrs. Gonzales scolded her. Ayesha lifted her head up and she was shocked when she saw her homeroom teacher. Then she remembered that his family name is Salvador. "Maybe he is the brother of my Fiance" She thought. Ayesha stood up and greeted the Salvador Family.

"Good Afternoon Mrs. and Mr. Salvador. And to you also Mr. Salvador." she politely said and bowed.

"Ah this child, just call me mother from now on because you will be my daughter-in-law soon" Mrs. Salvador said and gave Ayesha a kiss in the cheeks.

Knight's eyebrow twitched, "She just greeted me like I'm old man" he thought to himself.

"Good Afternoon to you too, Ayesha" Knight replied.

"Do you know each other?" asked Mrs. Salvador as she observed that Ayesha was shocked after seeing Knight.

"He is my homeroom teacher and professor in English." Ayesha replied politely. Mr. and Mrs. Salvador were shocked when they heard Ayesha's replied. Mr. Salvador look at Knight, and he understood what his father's look means. He needs some explanation.

"Uhmm where is my fiance?" Ayesha asked. Mr. Salvador and Mr. Gonzales looked at each other so does Mrs. Salvador and Mrs. Gonzales. Ah right Ayesha doesn't have a clue who is her fiance.

"Ayesha dear this is our only son Knight Liwei and he is your fiance." said, Mr. Salvador. Ayesha's jaw drop, she is completely shocked, this handsome man is her fiance.

"But he is my professor." Ayesha said while looking at Knight who is now very serious.

"Yes he maybe your professor but you still can keep it as a secret that you two are married." Mrs. Salvador pointed out.

"But I am not still at the right age to marry." Ayesha said again and she hoped that this arrange marriage would be break.

"Ayesha you are perfectly at the right age to marry. You are already nineteen." Said, Mr. Salvador

"But we two don't know each other." Ayesha uttered again to her father.

"Silly child you can have all the time to know each other before and after your marriage." Mrs. Salvador chuckled.

Ayesha felt defeated from arguing and making excuses and reasons just to break this marriage that was made by her Grandpa and Knight's Grandma.

"So we should discuss now when will the wedding be held. You two can register your marriage on Monday so that we could hold the wedding as soon as possible." Mr. Gonzales said while looking at Knight and Ayesha.

Ayesha felt devastated from what she heard while Knight is actually very happy and glad by his father's and Ayesha's father's decisions.
