Christy's POV
Few minutes later
I forgot my sorrows because Esther was telling me funny things that the BTS members had done,the way she explained it was so funny and I was a laughing mess, I was crying and laughing the same time,to be honest Esther is fun to be with.
It was all fun until my soon to be mother in-law came in with Mr Jeong 3 feet behind her.
"Awwwnnnn you girls are getting along, I love it" Mrs Ajileye said.
"Yeah, it's fun to be with Christy" Esther said smiling.
"That's good to hear,so now Christy will go and say goodbye to her family, you girls will meet with the boys so as to know each other a little, I'm l heard clearly?!" Mrs Ajileye informed and also asked,I think.
"Yes ma" we answered in unison.
" Good,now Jeong take Christy to her family and show her her room when she is done with bidding her family good bye" Mrs Ajileye told Mr Jeong.
"Ok ma, Christy can we?" Mr Jeong asked.
I started moving on my own,only following Mr Jeong behind like a chick following mother hen.
My family was waiting outside, I ran and hugged my mother so tight.
"So you are giving me away at this age?" I asked my mom while tears flowed freely from my eyes downwards.
"No my child, I'll never do that infact we will never do that, it's for your own good my child " my mother was consoling me.
"Adannaya, I will miss you and I promise to we will visit you almost every time" my dad spoke this time.
"Mpa" I whispered and released my mom from my firm grip and went ahead to hug my dad very tight,after some seconds I freed him and faced my twin brother who was at my father's right side, what I saw was a shock to me because my brother was crying too,sooo unexpected.
"So why is our John Cena crying?"I asked partially smiling.
"You can be annoying but I'll miss you so much sis?!,I promise to come on our birthday " I heard Christian say and 'my oh my' he was dead serious.
"I'll miss you too bro" I told him, sometimes I see him as my baby brother,I sure will miss him.
"Ozugo Christy,we will be going now if not we will flood the compound with our tears,hehe" my dad said entering the driver seat of his car,my mom kissed me on my forehead, smiled and turned to enter the passenger's seat, I hugged my brother before he entered the car.
I watched my dad reverse the car and drive straight to the gate,I turned around only when I could not see the car again.
Mr Jeong showed me my bedroom,well I'm staying in the same room with Esther because she is scared of being alone, at least that's what Mr Jeong told me. I became friends with Mr Jeong and we chatted,he helped me arrange my clothes and I learned that he was from a small town in south Korea,he is also a butler but specially for Kehinde, I cannot remember the name of the town because it's hard to pronounce and remember,but I'll learn it one day.
"I'll leave you kids alone, please be friends and respect yourselves so that they'll be peace okay?!", Mrs Ajileye said.
"Alright mom" the twins said.
"Yes ma!", Esther said.
"Ah! Call me mom" Mrs Ajileye said
"Ok mom" I said.
Right now we are in the garden,well this is the place Mrs Ajileye chose for the meeting and I love it here, the cool evening breeze is blowing gently and I am feeling refreshed, the nice smell of scent leaf filled the air around the garden,the garden was more like a farm but a special kind of farm. Different types of plants were planted there but scent leaf was more and I like it, the carpet grass made the ground very soft for my feet.
"Great!,now Taiye and Esther go to the right, Kehinde and Christy to the left. I'll be leaving now,see you later" Mrs Ajileye said and disappeared in a blink of an eye, Mrs Ajileye is so nice and I feel good when she's around.
We did as we were told,so Taiye and Esther were at the right side of the garden while I and Kehinde at the left.
"Hi Christy!" I heard Kehinde speak,I loved the voice.
"Hi Kehinde!" I also said and gave an awkward smile.
"So how are you feeling about getting married.....to me" he asked grinning.
This kind of Kehinde with his gray eyes is a shameless one,how can he speak of the situation like it was one easy thing, I look right and I could see tension between Taiye and Esther but there was no tension between Kehinde and I and I'm grateful to the almighty for that. I faced Kehinde who was sitting beside me.
"I feel good!", I lied. Kehinde frowned.
"Whoa unexpected!, I thought you were going to be scared or am I too handsome that you cannot ignore?!" Kehinde asked looking really serious.
"Whoa whoa calm down Mr nation wide handsome, of course I'm scared like why won't I be, I'm getting married at the age of fifteen which girl will not be scared and you are handsome but not too handsome, have you seen my best friend?,he is too handsome" I said regretting the last two sentences I said because Kehinde's eyes was expressing what I call 'anger'.
"I'll love to see that your best friend" Kehinde said looking as if he was spacing out.
"Kehinde your eyes are showing too much emotion stop it", I said trying to understand the boy.
He looked at me and blinked then he's face became blank.
"I.... I don't do it on purpose and I can't stop it" he said after some seconds.
"Ok?!... Can I ask you questions?, you can also ask if you feel like" I suggested so that there will be no tension in the air.
"Sure go on" Kehinde permitted.
"Did you choose me yourself or did your parents help you choose?"
"Neither. Actually your names were written in two small pieces of papers then it was shuffled and my brother picked first then I picked,so he happened to pick Esther and I ended up with you".
"How did you and your father manage to have grey eyes?"
"It's a long story but to cut the long story short my grandfather who happens to be a Yoruba man travelled to an Asian country 'south Korea to be particular' for work,he fell in love with my grandma an Asian woman and she had grey eyes. In conclusion my father inherited it from my grandma and I inherited it from him,my dad is a half cast".
"Well, you have beautiful eyes but how did Mr Jeong end up in your house?"
"As you know my grandma is a Korean, when I was thirteen my grandma introduced me to BTS, I was not interested but one of their songs got me,so I asked grandma to bring the one they are calling SUGA to Nigeria because I loved his personality,of course that's not possible so she sent Mr Jeong instead, I was disappointed though but Mr Jeong is the best,he stays with us in our house and he is now my best friend and adviser".
"Wow!,so you like BTS?"
"I liked them because of their songs but not anymore, it's only their songs I'm in love with, trust me I'm not interested in the members at all".
"So who do you like now?"
"Dunsin,Nathaniel and juice wrld"
"Weird?,how did your grandma introduce them to you when you are in Nigeria ".
"Sometimes we travel to south Korea during the holidays and sometimes she comes to Nigeria too,I love my grandma so much"
"Whoa you and your brother are really lucky, Kehinde how old are you?!"
"I feel as if you are interrogating me but nevertheless I'm eighteen,you?"
"That's because I'm curious,I'm fifteen"
"Wow, you are too young to get married" Kehinde said and I became sad again,but at least we are communicating very well,he is nice but he's aura is saying the opposite.
Adannaya - her father's daughter.
Mpa - father.
Ozugo - it's okay.
They are all igbo language.
