The sun rose and a new day started smiling on everyone. Ash opened his eyes as usual on 8.00 o'clock when he turned his face to see Angel he was shocked by seeing his hands holding her hands even if the pillows were in between them. Without any more action he slowly took off his hands, felt her hands softness, smiled and put her hands near to her face.
Suddenly the door knocked, it was Angel's dad, "Angel, my Angel wake up honey''
Ash heart started to beat fast. If her dad saw him he will be killed. He can't open the door or go away. He rushed to the sleeping Angel, and started waking her up, "Angel, wake up Angel, Angel save me, your dad is here!"
Angel woke up shocked, "Oh Ash! Oh my God! Go hide in the toilet run Ash!"
She stood and rushed to the door, "Coming dad''
Her hair was standing like a tree
She opened the door, "oh good morning papa"
"Oh good morning sweet heart, I want to talk with you about an important thing ok darling?''
Angel smiled and looked back to the toilet's door, "Ok no problem dad come in''
She opened the door for him and let him in. They sat on the bed and her dad was smiling, "Ok darling I came to talk to you about something important "
Ash was listening from the toilet door.
"Listen me honey I want for you to live a happy life after I die. I have made you choose from many handsome boys to marry, why are you refusing them? All I want to know is your reason baby. "
Angel started to understand why her dad came, it is because he wants to show her a new husband, "Oh dad I know that you want me to marry but I want to marry the person I want, the person I love, I want a person who wants me to live with him, who loves me with no exceptions."
Her dad showed a small sad face, "And where we can find that person? Hey wait''
His face turned to curiosity, "Do you have someone in your mind?"
Angel's face became shied a little bit, "Well yes, there is someone whom I like from when I was a child, but he doesn't know that I like him. Sorry dad but I can't tell you who he is. But in fact, you know him, you see him every day.''
Ash was shocked by what he heard, she was mentioning him, which means she loves him and she wants him. A big smile lit his face.
Her dad started to think of whom she was talking about, he stood and turned towards the door, "Ok darling as you wish, but don't forget we are having dinner with my friend tomorrow ok?''
She smiled, "Ok dad I will not forget.''
Ash had forgot about the dinner, he started to ask himself, "should I tell her about the dinner's secret or no? Oh my God, if I didn't tell her maybe her dad will force her to marry that guy and everything will be gone. but also if I told her she will cancel it and her dad will think that there is something wrong and he will discover that I told her and he will kill me. What should I do?''
His voice became louder
"I don't want to lose her" he started stamping the door with his hands, "Should I tell her or not?"
And with a loud shout "I also love her, I don't want her to be for anyone than me''
And with a hard stamp on the door suddenly he broke the door open and fell on his nose, "Ouch, why should this happen to me whenever I think of her"
Then he looked up and he was shocked by seeing Angel standing in front of him folding arms and smiling a half smile, "that was a good fall and you have been saved because you just fell when my dad just closed the door and who is she that you don't want to lose her ?and what is the secret? Now let's talk seriously I know that you know something and I want to hear it from you now. Tell me Ash or I wouldn't let you get out from my room''
He stood and looked around, "Ok, ok calm down but before I tell you, you tell me. Did your dad left to work?''
Angel smiled again, "Yes he left just now"
Ash looked around and said, "Ok close your eyes and count from one up to three and I will tell you''
She closed her eyes and started counting, "One"
Ash smiled and counted with her, "Two"
They were so excited, "Threee"
And in a second Ash opened the door and rushed out of the room to down the stairs running. Angel opened her eyes from the sound and ran after him, "Hey you, are you crazy? I will kill you"
Ash was laughing while he was stepping down the stairs and Angel was also behind him. He was faster than her, he got inside his room and locked it from inside his breath was caught, "Ha I tricked you Angel, don't try, I will not tell you the secret''
At last Angel arrived his room and knocked hard, "U stupid, fool and crazy I will show you. I will not move from your door an inch until you tell me.''
And she sat on the doorstep and breathed hardly but her luck was bad that her breathe started to stop and she needed water
"Ash help me, I can't breathe"
Ash heard her and ran to the door and opened the door, he lifted her on his hands and put her on his bed. He rushed and brought water and she drank a sip. Slowly her breath started to recover.
Here Ash calmed down. He was sitting beside the bed on the floor and his face was near hers. She turned her face to him and with a low voice, "Thanks, you are as before helping everyone and also a fast runner''
Both of them smiled. After an hour, she slept and at that moment Ash's eyes brightened when he examined her white face. He was thinking, "what a girl she is. She is near to the perfectness she is cute, nice, intelligent, funny, and most of all lovely."
Ash was in his highest happiness level but suddenly his face changed to seriousness, "after now I should tell her. I can't let her go on this marriage and whatever happens, let it happen .I should take risk for my only love''
He shook her hands gently to wake her up, "Angel, hey Angel wake up sweetie''
Slowly Angel's eyes opened, she woke up and with a sleepy voice, "Yes Ash what's the matter? Did my dad came?''
Ash's voice became serious and low, "listen me Angel, I will tell you the secret but you should listen me until the end and don't show any loud reactions"
Angel sat on the bed properly and opened her eyes widely, "Ok tell me hurry up''
Ash bent his head, "Ok listen, the dinner you are going tomorrow, your father has lied on you in half of the story. Your father is going to show you one of the noble sons to let you marry him. And the problem here that even if you didn't like him your father will let you marry him by force. But I have a plan if you don't want to marry him. I can help you to run away from the house just for tomorrow."
Angel's face was very shocked from what she heard but she retrieved and asked, "Are you going to run away with me?"
Ash was surprised by the question, "No I can't you know that I am just a gardener in this house and if I escaped with u, your father will think about me another thoughts and I don't want any problems."
Angel smiled, "so I will not run away, I can't run away without you because I need a guard for me."
Ash didn't concentrate on most of what she said, "So what should we do now?''
Angel thought for a second and bounced, "I have got an idea, but you should be part of the plan to let it work. Ok?''
Ash knocked ok, she started explaining, "look I'm going to the dinner like I didn't knew anything. But in this dinner you will be with me and we will act like nothing is there. Then rest of the plan I will do it myself and I will tell you later about the rest.''
He heard her until the end, he was confused by what he heard but just accepted for her satisfaction.
Angel stood up and turned to Ash smiling, "Ok Ash, see you tomorrow wear a nice suit, we are going to an important place so look handsome."
She walked towards the door and stopped again and turned, "By the way how did you know all about this?''
"The day I slept in your room was because of hearing him. After we watched the movie, I wanted to return to my room and I heard your dad's sound. On that time I heard him talking all the story with the guy's dad. I thought of not telling you but when I saw you, I thought of your life and I told you.''
She turned and walked towards him, he was standing surprised when she came nearer to him. She became very close to him and kissed him on his cheeks and went out of the room with no react. Ash was not believing himself, he was thinking that he was in a dream.
The day ended, Ash was worried and excited about the next day. Will it be a lucky good day or a bad Friday? He was closing his eyes and thinking of the coming surprises and challenges.
Angel closed her eyes smiling and excited about the next day and how she and Ash will be together.
Will Ash and Angel meet and become one of the love stories famous legends?
