“I am not crying now… Thank you very much for talking with me, Marina… You are really a good person, I am so glad that it is you who get engaged to my Jake…” I said.
She smiled…
“Okay, Sarah… Then I will give the phone to Jake… I will talk to you later… Take care…” she said.
“Okay, dear… Take care…” I replied, smiling.
“Why did you cry, princes…” After a few seconds, Jake’s voice raised.
“I am just stupid, Jake… You know how I feel sometimes…” I said, trying to smile.
“I am so sorry, Princess… I always make you hurt…” he said sadly.
“Are you mad? You don’t have to say sorry. Didn’t I say I am just stupid? Anyway, I am so glad that you let me speak to her.” I said.
“Promise me, Sarah… You won’t cry when you see this fu**ing engagement on TV or somewhere else. You know how these people report things. They fabricate things as they require. They just need to get the highest hits on their news. So, only God knows what those bastards will report about this. But tell me, you would be strong no matter what happens.” he said.
“I promise you, Jake I will stay strong. Don’t worry…” I said.
“I have to go, princess… I will call you at night. I love you so much…” he said.
“I love you too, my babe…” I replied with a smile.
After coming home, I prepared dinner. Only Mom and Dad came for dinner as Shane hasn’t come home yet. Luke said they have a special meeting with the coach…
I was cleaning the kitchen when mom and dad were watching a movie on TV. I wanted to finish my work as soon as possible and go to sleep. I was exhausted working all day.
Suddenly, the movie paused, and someone announced that they are going to telecast special news.
I also paid attention just to know what is the special news.
“Today, a very special function was held at the Grand Hotel… It is to celebrate a new and very special relationship between the two most powerful families in the country.”
A very special bond between the two most powerful families in the country… It is about his engagement, right? I walked towards the living room to have a look.
“Today the People’s Party presidential candidate Victor McMiller’s only son Jacob McMiller getting engaged to Marina Watsons, the granddaughter of the current president his excellency David Watsons. Let’s move on to the live telecast from the Grand Hotel…” There was him… Smiling brightly and looks like a Greek God! He looks so damn handsome! So divine handsome!
He was on a magnificently decorated stage… His mom and dad were also with him… All three of them look wonderful together…
Then Marina walked up to the stage from the audience with her mom, dad, and grandfather.
She also looked so beautiful!
Then all of them got on to the stage… Jake and Marina came a bit forward… They look amazing together…
Our president David Watsons did a small speech, but I didn’t get any of the things he said. I was just staring at Jake and Marina…
Just think of me as his sister… Marina’s words were echoing in my mind…
But I couldn’t help thinking about how perfectly they match together…
Then the most magical moment of ring exchanging came… Jake put a ring on her finger… Without even knowing, I was touching the ring he put in my finger… I didn’t wear the ring on my ring finger to avoid being questioned about it. I was wearing it on my middle finger…
Then she put a ring on his finger… He had to take off the ring I put in his finger, right?
Simultaneously the front door was opened, and Shane entered the house.
“See, darling this is your friend, isn’t it? Did you know that he is Victor McMiller’s only son? However, I think this beautiful girl matches him perfectly. This must be a match made in heaven…” mom said, looking at Shane… Shane’s eyes traveled to the TV and at the same time… Jake kissed her on lips…
Though, I knew very clearly all these are just a drama, that moment I felt really depressed… I couldn’t bear seeing him kissing her in front of the whole world… It is true, that it is barely a kiss… He just pecked her lips… But… “God! They are so adorable, aren’t they honey…” mom again asked from Shane.
But Shane’s eyes were glued on my face…
I couldn’t stand these anymore, especially my mom’s comments on how flawlessly they match each other…
I climbed the stairs as quickly as I can to get into my room.
“What is wrong with her… Why she ran away…” I heard mom’s voice behind me…
I shut the door behind me and collapsed on tot he bed, sobbing…
I promised him that I would stay strong and I wouldn’t cry… But I couldn’t help it…
I know I am so stupid… I don’t have to act this childish… But I was totally out of control… I was sobbing like crazy…
“Sarah…” Shane’s voice raised outside the door.
I didn’t say anything. But when I heard his voice, my sobbing just got worst…
Since there was no response from me, he opened the door and entered…
“What the hell is this?” he asked, trying to pull me towards him.
I couldn’t clearly understand if he is angry or he is surprised…
“Sarah…” he tried again to make me turn to him…
I was holding to my pillow so hard and sobbing…
“What the fu**? Look at me, Sarah…” then he made me turned to him using both of his hands…
He was staring at my flushed face for a few seconds… His eyes clearly said that even he didn’t have a clear idea of what he should do next.
“Tell me, what is all this about? He loves you, doesn’t he? Then what has fuc*ing happened?” he asked.
“Did you know he is Victor McMiller’s son? Did you know about this stupid engagement?” he asked again.
I didn’t know how to answer him. I was overwhelmed…
“Sarah…” he said, sitting next to me and holding my hand.
