They were looking at each other as their parents give them time to talk alone. An atmosphere of dissatisfaction reeks in the room that it was David breaks the deafening silence.
"It is always advantage when dealing with me. Why do I feel you were dissatisfied?"
It was her turn to answer, she sipped her favorite coffee but it taste bland to her.
"Dissatisfied? Me?" she chuckled amusingly. "I am rather disappointed David."
His brows knot with confused look. Still he listened to her clamor.
"Let me summarized our cliche drama. First, after we got engaged we will grow estranged, you will give your attention to your lover Carmen. Along the way you will have to cancel the engagement and left me in bitterness and humiliation. Knowing I was too angry about it, I will insist and get revenge for us to get married. You will grew powerful with the corporate world and the only way to keep me in check is my father's company. You might turn our company upside down. I will grew my resentment to Carmen and get all my devious ways to revenge against her. In the end I will wallow in my anger which resulted to either my death, life in prison, insanity or worst suicide. Now tell me where of this endings would be beneficial for me?" she sipped her coffer and continued." You were left in advantageous endings David, you will be more wealthier, successful and well loved by Carmen. Why not take a shortcut and propose to her instead? Why cause trouble of taking me as a villainess in your good lovestory?"
He looked gloomy with what she talked about their future endings. It is seems she knows exactly that they will end up tragically as she predicted it to be.
" You are quite perceptive about the future that haven't started yet. Too much creativity and imagery caused you this distress."
She smirked to the thought of the ending. Because that is ought to be, a tailor-fit novel for the protagonists.
"Carmen is special to me in some ways. I hope you do understand that she holds special place in my heart."
Special place my butt! Her eyes flared up in annoyance hearing him say that.
"You missed the point here buddy, no one is interfering with your love interest whoever she is. The point is to cancel this proposal. Be a man enough to admit it to our parents to avoid any expectations. I will second the motion with this. Let's live our lives in peace, okay? "
Their parents returned to the table as they had already arrangements to fixed. Both parties are satisfied with their engagement.
" I have something to say," it was Einne who interrupted their conversation." David and I talked about it and we decided to.."
"proceed with the engagement party as soon as possible. Why prolong it if we couldn't wait to be engaged?" it was David who expressed the other way. There is an unexplainable hatred rose within her while glaring at him secretly. Why does this male protagonist is a little bit unfair to her? She seated comfortably while trying to think possible escape route with her journey to doom. David was amused with her reactions that he started to held her tremblings hand.
"Rather than speeding up their engagement why don't we wait after Coreen graduates? My Coreen is preoccupied with her preparation in her solo. Perhaps we could discuss the engagement later since we will arrange it"
" Well. It seems the best way to do."
Einne was beyond alleviate from her discomfort. She could have tantamount of time to persuade him.
"Einne seems satisfied." it was David who ruin her mood. She smiled irritably at him and rebut
"Well, I am happy with everyone's decision. I will be in your care from now on." Then she pulled her hands from his grasp and keep them in her lap.
