Over You

Chapter 23

I was playing in my room since boredom strike me again, It's saturday morning, I'm done eating my breakfast and done my bath. I woke up early today, since I want to trek. But unfortunately laziness struck me, so I cancelled trekking and here I am playing video games in my room. I was so focus in my game when I here a knock in my door

"Come in!" I shout. The door opened and Mrs. Joo went inside. Still, playing tekken in my Ps5 when she start talking.

"Ma'am, Mr. Marco called, he said you'll be having dinner with them tonight at approximately 7:00 p.m. He said you should be wearing a formal dress since He have invited some guests with him, and the venue will be in Duke's"  I pause the game. Did I hear it right. father have guests with him tonight. I have this bad feeling that tonight will be the start of my fate. I don't want to assume things but I'd rather expect the unexpected rather than letting my guard down, at least in that way it will help me to lessen the misery. I was snapped out in my thought when Mrs. Joo spoke again "Ma'am do you want me to prepare your dress?" she asked.

"yes please, I want a black dress for tonight. And thank you for letting me know Mrs. Joo" she bowed and left the room. I heave a sigh. "I wish I had just trekked if I only knew it would hapoen now" I said to myself. Tonight
I want to wear black, I want to mourn, I lost someone. And that someone is me.

Who invented arrange marriage? I swear If I gonna know that someone I will choke him or her to death, even if he's dead already. I don't care if he'll be double dead or triple dead. I just want to choke him for revenge, from violating our human rights.

Again I don't want to assume things and I've been preparing myself into this, I know this will be my fate in the end. But please God, not now. Not today. Atleast let me graduate in my senior year, or let me finished college. I'm still my Senior High yet urrrghhh! I crampled my hair due to frustration, I turned off my game and slump in my bed. I put my arm over my forehead and I didn't realize that I am now crying.

I woke up from headache I'm feeling, I didn't notice I fell asleep. I looked at the wall clock 4:30 p.m. 2hrs and 30 mins. Before dinner, I was shocked. I didn't realize I slept that long. My stomach growl. Oh, I haven't taken my lunch, yet it's almost dinner. I went to the kitchen to grab some chocolate milk, it's enough for me to sustain my stomach before dinner.

I went to the garden and saw Mrs. Joo watering the plants, she put down the hose and walks towards me. She bowed.

"Ma'am good afternoon, you're lunch meal is ready, its on the dining table, do you want me to reheat it or cook another food for you? I went to your room earlier but you seem asleep" she said.

"oww, it's okay. It's almost dinner time actually, so don't bother anymore. Anyways have you eaten already?" I asked.

"yes ma'am, and by the way your dress is ready for tonight's dinner, it's in your walk-in closet, hanging. And Mr. Oh will be the one to fetch you here" she stated. I just nod. she bow and walked back to water the plants.

I almost forgot that we have family dinner tonight. I went to the pool to swim. It's one of my stress reliever, when I swim I focus to finished the lap instead of focusing on the main problem. After 15 laps of freestyle in the pool with 50m in length, I put my bathrobe and went to shower room.

I'm now in Duke's lobby waiting for my parents to arrive, they're just on the top floor which is the penthouse but I'm too lazy to go up there. I glimpse at my Serpenti Misteriosi Romani Bvlgari watch. 6:48 p.m. I want to go home. I wouldn't lie, I'm freaking nervous, really nervous, not because we have guests but the possibility of the this dinner will go through. I heave a sigh. "nothing to worry okay, it's just dinner nothing more nothing less" I murmur to myself. A receptionist greet me.
