Julia got up from her seat and stopped Stella and asked questioningly, "Stella, where's my other shoe?" Julia pointed the shoe at her sister but she ran away.
She followed her, calling her mother. Stella's mother took the food in her hand and took it to the courtyard where many colored flowers were blooming and in the center, there was a dining table with six chairs around it.
She entered through the courtyard door holding the tea in her hands and spoke:
"Mom, you realize you just called him Alexander?"
Julia came into the courtyard and while placing the dishes on the table, she looked at her sister with a laugh. Stella asked her sister questioningly, " You knew all along?"
Julia looked at her and indicated no. Stella looked at her mother and Julia in disgust and said: "I can't believe you two. You'd rather let me become a zombie bride."
Julia looked at her and said: "You've never been able to keep any job for more than three weeks, You have no ambition."
"Keep quiet," Stella spoke while grinding her teeth.
Her mother looked Julia up and down and spoke: "look at your sister, she's always been very professional and inspirational. I am so proud of you."
"Thanks, Mom," Julia said with her smiley face:
Stella said harshly: "Oh, alright...My sister is perfect and I'm not." Julia was putting tea on cups from the teapot and they both started eating.
Stella said to her mother: "I don't understand how you can eat right now?"
Her mother replied to her while taking a bite: "Why shouldn't I eat? Running around finding you a husband saps my all energy...So far it's only Alexander...oh goodness. Alexander who wants to marry you"
Stella said to herself: "Impossible...This is a nightmare...wake me up..."
She looked at her mother's and her sister's faces and said: "Dad will never allow it, understand?" She immediately called her father and said: Baba?
As she left the courtyard, Julia and her mother started laughing together and said to each other: "She believes every word" and they both started singing...
"Mockingbird, mockingbird... mockingbird" and started dancing with their hands.
Her mother suddenly quieted and said to Julia "We'd better stop her. Your father doesn't know anything yet." They both got up and ran toward the stairs.
Her father has blue eyes, is half bald, wears tea-shade glasses, and has a distinctive beard.
Stella was going to her father's room while saying: "Baba?... Baba?
Suddenly, her father open his room and said: "Sweetie, you look upset. Tell me what's wrong?"
She said to her father: "Baba, you'd never allow me to marry Zender, would you?"
He said: "Of course!
Suddenly Julia and her mother came and stand behind her and...And they started to understand her father with the signs.
Her father said to Stella: "Look at me. He's a splendid choice and I like him."
She said to him: "But baba, I can't marry him, I don't like him."
Suddenly she heard her mum's voice: "What's wrong with him? He's got a job...and good manners."
As she turned her face back to her mom, her father started, "I agree...Your mother's right and looks at me. Why do you look at your mother? When you're talking to me? I'm right in front of you. I know him well...and he's from our neighborhood. Uh...he's respectful and very friendly. He visits us on special occasions and birthdays...You will marry him...full stop" and he left.
Stella turned her face furiously and said to her mother: "This battle is far from over!" and she immediately called her father.
She went downstairs to the yard looking for her father, followed by her mother and sister
Stella looked at them all and spoke: "Now I get it,"
Stella stared at his father and spoke: "You're just doing this because I don't have a proper job." Saying this she looked at her mother and sister and spoke: "Now I get it, I'll find a job, I can and I will, you'll...Right now. And she left.
As Stella left there, her father looked at his wife in shock and said: "What's happening, petal?" and asked angrily: "Is Alexander's family coming over tonight?
She replied: "No, only tomorrow evening. Her mother just wants to eat ice cream and I agreed. We've been neighbors for years." She said angrily: "But I won't allow our daughter to marry a zombie.
"So?" his father asked, raising one of his eyebrows.
She replied: " I'm just motivating her to find and keep a proper job. She said looking angrily at her husband: " You'll also stop supporting her in this grocer thing, do you hear me?"
Her father replied, "Alright, Tuval, but relax now. Your voice sounds strange and your big eyes get this big...Slow down a bit. We've been married for years...but I get terrified when you get like this, petal."
Hearing this, Tuval laughed and started blushing.
As soon as Stella left the house, Molly saw her
Molly was Stella's best friend, who had a French bob haircut and a chubby figure, wearing a blue dungaree dress.
She came towards her and spoke and came towards her and spoke: "Stella, Have you heard? I'm so happy for you, Stella. She walked with her and spoke: "Alexander is getting married because they're handing out treats in front of the shop."
She looked at Molly in annoyance and spoke angrily: "That's because he's about to marry me. My family's already agreed and they're making it official tomorrow night. I can't marry a zombie. I must find a job, and soon."
She said laughing: "Alright, Mission job-hunting for Stella...What skills do you have? Let's start at the butcher and greengrocer."
Stella replied angrily: " That won't help. I have to get married because I'm working in my baba's shop. I must find a good, fancy job, but I don't know where to start...I have no experience."
Molly suddenly replied: "wait a bit, I think I have something, I recall your sister saying that they need someone...who can run some errands for their company. Maybe she can arrange an intro.
She spoke with her mouth on the other side: "Julia?... She would never do that. Molly said raising her shoulders: "why not? Have you asked her?"
She looked at Molly with a smile and said:" not yet",...she might say "yes", and said: " I must run!"
