"I understand that dear, but still we can not afford to look mean in the public. Look what the tabloids have written about you two. Years of reputation can be harmed in just two minutes." Eva's mother smiled sadly, looking at Emily.
"And.. I do not understand, why she does not like that lovely boy?" Eva's grandmother spoke up in much sadness, sitting on a nearby chair. "He is so respectful and caring. At your age I was already married Eva, and was already expecting your uncle."
Eva sighed a bit as what she had feared the most, was happening today itself.
"Grandma... Eva does not love the boy. Give her sometime, I am sure she will find somebody that she really loves. Richard is a nice guy, but it is important to be in love. Is not it? Just like you and grandpa or me and Mark." Emily explained her grandmother very sweetly.
"What if she never finds a boy by herself? Will we die without seeing her wedding?" The grandfather spoke up, feeling a bit dejected, sitting besides his wife.
"Oh don't say that grandpa. She will definitely find somebody that even you will love. I am sure the boy she selects will not just be sober and nice but will also love us all with same amount of respect and virtue." Emily smiled hugging her grandfather, trying to calm them down.
Eva heaved a sigh of relief, thanking her elder sister in her heart. Once again the girl had saved her from every body's anger. She really needed to find herself a boyfriend now, atleast to prove to them that Richard is not the only option she is left with. "Yes, everybody... I have a wonderful taste. I will select a virtous man, who is very respectful and sophisticated and also who matches our family reputation." Eva spoke happily, already thinking about how her Mr. Perfect will be...??
