Kehinde's POV
My mom instructed me to stand and I dare not hesitate or refuse to do it,like who are you to disobey an African mother,so I stood immediately just as my brother did.
I was feeling vulnerable as I felt a particular pair of eyes on me,I turned to look at the girl and she was blushing?!,why was she blushing?, I think she was blushing for my brother of course he is very handsome, I rolled my eyes. Girls.
Well the girl and her brother are identical twins too,but she is cute and beautiful, while her brother had black eyes she had light brown eyes, pointed nose and black shoulder length hair,it was her natural hair,I mean I have not seen a girl with natural long hair in Nigeria,most girls fix their hair just like how my mom did hers.
Taiye's POV
The family at my front were just too nice, I don't know if they're really nice or they were just being nice because of our wealth only God knows.
Mr Nnamdi,I think is same age with my dad, black eyes and bald head, I think he is okay. Mrs Nnamdi is a fine woman, black eyes and black curly hair which was tied up.
The children are too identical thank goodness they are different gender if not I'll be confused,but the girl had a special thing,she had light brown eyes they were very clear and also beautiful.
Those eyes were scanning me before but now those eyes are on my brother, then our eyes met for a second,she looked away immediately and I saw her blush,that caught me by surprise but I was too angry to understand anything.
The reason for my anger was that I am literally forced to get married, I can't even believe my parents,at this modern age my parents are making me get married?!, I have tried to explain to them but they won't listen. I even reported them to grandma and my parents did not change. I have been wondering why they refuse to change,I had a mother - son talk with mom but she refused to say anything,she kept changing the topic and I left frustrated. I know that there must be a reason for them to get us married at this age.
"Mr jeong!" My father's voice brought me back to the present, I did not hear anything they discussed and I couldn't care less.
"Please take Christy to the second living room and introduce her to Esther" my dad instructed Mr jeong and the girl that happened to be 'Christy' followed hesitantly. I'm sure she's also not feeling good about the marriage,I felt pity for her,I think she has said goodbye to her childhood. So sad.

Christy's POV
The adults were having fun while the kids were sulking,they were discussing God knows what and I wanted to cry and scream,my brother was not bothered cause WHY NOT,I wish was a boy. But at least I found out that Mr Ajileye's full name was Eli Darasimi Ajileye and Mrs Ajileye's full name was Mary Gbemisola Ajileye. They talked and talked and laughed and laughed and alas I heard Mr Ajileye mention my name I don't even know how he already know my name but it's not my business, all I know is that I'm getting married at the age of fifteen, the first amongst my friends to get married,I feel sick.
Mr Ajileye instructed the good looking Asian man to take me somewhere and introduce me to someone,I was feeling dizzy and I did not want to move from where I was but the look my dad gave me made me rethink and I stood up slowly and followed the Asian man showing everyone my fake smile.
"I think Christy is happy" Mrs Ajileye said smiling widely,I rolled my eyes 'How Ignorant', I wanted to scratch her fine face with my nails and tell her that she is stupid for saying that but I did not because I think my smile deceived her.
I was led to another living room which also had same decorations as the other one where my parents are,the difference was that there was no glass table instead there were side stool beside each cushion,it was beautiful and I was too annoyed to appreciate the beauty.
"Miss Christy we are here" the Asian man's voice brought me back to reality.
"Here is Okeke Esther,she is also getting married" I heard him speak again and for a moment I was surprised that he did not have that Asian accent.
"Please get friendly with each other, for the meantime I'll get you girls something to drink" The Asian man spoke again and I was starting to like his British accent, he's Asian but speaks like a Britain.
"Thank you Asian man" I said and nodded.
"No, don't call me Asian man call me Mr Jeong" the Asian man replied smiling.
"Ok Mr Jeong " I said giving him a smile too,he nodded and left.
I felt comfortable around him because he was friendly,by the time I adjust I'll ask him a lot of questions about the Asians trust me I won't let him rest. I felt someone stare at me and I turned my back instinctively and behold a beautiful girl with purple blouse and jean trousers looking at me, I almost screamed because her aura was something else.
"Hi,my name is Nnamdi Christiana but you can call me Christy for short, I'm fifteen and I'm here to get married" I introduced myself not knowing what else to do.
"Hello Christy I'm Okeke Esther, I'm sixteen and I'm also here to get married" she said giving an awkward smile. We stood there looking at each other and next thing we started laughing hard,we laughed and laughed.
"That introduction was something else" Esther started.
"I know right?,I don't know how else to put it so I decided to add that marrying part"
"Haha,if I were in your shoes I'll do the same "
"Hahaha,Lord have mercy "
"So why are you getting married at your age"
"I should ask you same"I replied her.
"Aww, I like as you kids are getting along" Mr Jeong said, dropping the tray of two different drinks on the stool nearest to him.
"Trust me kids,your parents will never ditch you for anything,you are very precious to them they are helping you,so don't be sad,we will never hurt you kids too" Mr Jeong tried to assure us, something in me was telling me to trust him and I did willingly maybe because he was Asian or maybe because his voice was nice ha!.
"Then the adults should not address us as 'Kids' anymore since we are doing an adult thing" Esther said jokingly and I smiled.
"Yeah!, it's the weird culture, I'll be leaving now since I have many things to do please do have your drinks and no fighting thank you" Mr Jeong said and disappeared. For a second I thought Mr Jeong smile disappeared but since I was enjoying Esther's company I did not push it.
"You like coke?" Esther asked me.
"Yeah Alot"
"I love fanta, it's simply the best"
"Good for you,wait! How did Mr Jeong know the drink we like"
"iiaaahhh, I think he guessed"
"No! I think our parents told them all our likes and dislikes"
"So? It's not a big deal, that's even great"
"I don't like it,but there's nothing I can do about it "
"Ok?!, Do you know BTS?"
"Yesssssssss!"
"Great who is your bias,mine is V"
"I like JUNGKOOK" I replied Esther and we chatted away our sorrows. We got along so well that we forgot we were getting married at a young age.
