Eco's POV

"So what did you decide?" My dad asks while gulping, he's definitely scared of my answer.

"I decided to marry uncle Sidney's son, dad. I think he's a good person." I tell him without fuzzing, I'm not in the mood today since I'm already tired.

"What? Really? That's sad!" He don't hide his disappointment, "though I don't really like this decision, I'm no one to interfere in your life decisions especially something that relates to you marriage. I'm not gonna go against you but just keep all your senses together and be a better person. I don't want Sidney or his son regret marrying you afterwards. Remember this marriage shouldn't bring any hindrance or distance between Sidney and mine friendship."

"Promises, dad!" I raise my hand as a gesture and laugh when he shakes his head.

"Then, I'll message Sidney and let him know your decision." Dad says and I nod.

"Okay, dad. I'm going to sleep now." I state with a yawn and stand up while walking towards the stairs.

"What about dinner?" Dad yells from his position.

"Put the food in the fridge, I'll just reheat it and eat whenever I wake up and feel hungry." I shout back.

"God knows how and when you're going to change! What if you continue to be like this even after marriage? Your husband's place will not be like this. You have to sit and eat with everyone. At least have some timing to eat!" Dad keeps saying but I just don't mind him.

I'm dead tired, I really want to take a shower and relax.

Going into my room, I take a quick bathe and put on the clothes before taking a selfie and posting it with a tag 'tired! Night night😴'. Hopefully this gets bombarded with many likes and comments before I get up after my nap. Keeping the phone on the night stand and plugging it to the charger, I lay down on the bed and sleep.

I wake up when loud banging is heard on the door. It completely disturbed me from my sleep and woke me up. Sitting on the bed, I unplug my phone and see the time. It's nearing 10. My supposed short nap turned into a overnight sleep. As the banging won't stop, I head to the door and open it to see my dad standing there.

"For more how long are you going to sleep?" He questions while keeping his hands on his waist.

"Didn't plan, just go with the flow." I yawn after answering him and turn around as I walk back into my room.

Sitting on the bed, I unlock my phone and check the status of my last post. It makes me smile when I find many likes and comments already.

"I'm talking here and you're busy with your phone. Are you going to be like this even after marriage? I'm telling you they'll kick you out within a day if you're like this. Better don't marry in the first place. Why to embarrass ourselves further, right?" Dad annoys as he sits in front of me on the couch.

"I'm just checking the status for my last post, dad. Don't keep saying about marriage cancellation." I sigh and keep my phone a side, "now tell me what you want to talk? I'm all ears."

"I messaged Sidney yesterday about your decision, that you agreed to marry his son. He called me a while ago and said we'll meet so that we can discuss about the wedding, plan and make arrangements. I'm going in an hour, will you come along with me or no?" He explains about the plan.

"Well, it's my wedding and I want everything to go according to my plan. So I'm obviously coming. Apart from that I don't really have any work, it's fine I guess." I shrug off.

"Oh, you're talking as if you work any other time. All you do is engross yourself in your phone, so obsessed with your posts and curse the shit out of people for not liking and commenting your posts. I know you're so busy." Dad comments with a look.
