Chapter 3

For Umber Penelope today is her very special day, for a shy girl like her to make a bold move for her future was everything. Even Caroline and Danielle couldn't believe the tiny kid of a daughter she was yesterday has now grown up so mature today.

"You see our little daughter has shut herself inside her bedroom today is she sick dear?" Asked Caroline, her mother while her grey old eyes glared through the newspaper and the white coffee mug in the other. Sipping her black coffee she narrowed her gaze over to her husband's ash eyes waiting for an answer.

"Caroline, you must have not been aware but our little one is not a little one anymore and she might be getting ready for her date today." Continued Danielle casually.

"Date! And our daughter? How come I not imagine?

Let me guess, Olivia informed me they were a total of four members in her team, a Pakistani Muslim girl named Zareena, a Chinese American named Wynn, and Tyler the redhead like her.

Olivia had stated to me out of everyone she recruited so far the Asian American is beyond intelligent and then comes the Pakistani girl with her scores even our daughter was not that bad in her scores and the least would I wish would be that damn good for nothing Tyler. I was so impressed by Wynn that I even requested my buddy Olivia to secretly arrange them ties but the bitch disobeyed me," joked Caroline.

"Tell me, Danielle. It's Wynn and not Tyler." Spoke Caroline.

"If that's the case, then prepare for the disappointment dear, I know my daughter since she was a kid and I can predict her choices and could even say what she prefers and it is sadly Tyler. But I agree it's our daughter's happiness," Spoke Danielle.

"Damn Umber, you are totally on your mom. Instead of all the good options I had for picking up my husband. I choose him the equally dumb one." Joked Caroline trying to make puns on Danielle.

"Caroline, you always.."

On the other hand, the parents were arguing the little mature princess locked up in her room nervously trying to put on a decent amount of makeup for the first time. Umber was not much of a fan of makeup and who required her friend, Zareena's pull to apply makeup. Stood by herself in her glitter but plain red high gown for the makeup.

The girl's selection of the red dress was not her own but the dad's mentioning that made her change her mind about the date.

Simply Danielle was glad to see his daughter's choice during her first date.

Umber still remembered her father's words while they had a chat about the dress during the day.

"Umber,
I can't believe my only little kiddo grew up this fast. Even tho due to our work requirements, we as your parents were not much involved with your parenting and had to rely a lot on Joycee.

But today on an occasion like this, this old man of yours is gonna help you pick up the dress. Umber have you done it yet, you said your date night was today are you prepared yet?" Asked Danielle to his daughter Umber.

"Not yet, I simply can't decide," replied Umber.

"Not yet, Umber you sadly are like me and unlike your mom. You know your mom had a quick and firm decision on everything she does. She prepared the date night herself without giving me a chance too and I was a lot relieved. She is quick decision-making, bold, and has an extroverted personality unlike you. Something on her pick was so unique even for our age that made her beauty shine apart uniquely. The moment my eyes laid on her attire, I knew I loved her. Such uniqueness and me being the opposite of her and more similar to you, then we somehow ended up along. Marrying and having a baby who is shy, introverted, and humble like me. You even got my eyes and her hair. You only got her hair and the rest from me." Planned her father to his only child.

"Now that you haven't decided on a date dress yet can we go out and select any last-moment dress," asked Danielle while their ash eyes stared at each other.

"Dad, we can't now. Especially I can't put myself mentally through this date dress shopping. Realizing that it's my date is alone making me sick. Let alone the shopping and everything. Dad if I worry about it I will be sick till night." Spoke Umber with her ash eyes scrunched up to show her emotions. Her dad had his eyes the same way while he spoke.

"Then how do you think you would be going dear?" Questioned Danielle.

"You said mom had a unique choice for her time and you loved her attire," spoke Umber softly with her charming voice.

"Umber, are you thinking of wearing her date dress for your date." Spoke her dad purely out of expressions.

So that's how she ended up wearing her mother's date dress on her date. Which was casually very outdated but not for her which was even more valuable.

The peach foundation she plumped so smoothly to enhance her colored skin, the red lipstick matching the gown, the blush styled modernly to bring up the appearance, and her eyeliner made her a beauty pageant. Her brown wavy hair let loose to pull out her beauty to the extreme.

"Mom,
Dad,
Am I beautiful?" asked she as she rushed down the stairs for the shoes.

"Is Christmas round the clock yet," spoke Caroline, bringing down her confidence all at once.

Both Danielle and Caroline exchanged their gaze, especially with sarcasm knowing that she roasted her own choice indirectly.

"The Santa Clause's at our home yet." Continued Caroline making her daughter sad and yet to cry on her date night. Danielle was pretty concerned for his daughter already.

"Blood flows thick,
See the daughter and the dad react the same on a pun.
Idiots, you never change.
How can my daughter look bad on what I selected for my time?

Umber you rock, don't worry about your looks. You are enough beautiful my dear and either way you should have expressed yourself." spoke Caroline trying to pump up the atmosphere.

"Mommy,
It's just a date night and I know driving. I have been working and living independently but with you both so I feel it's not any big deal for me to pull this off.

After all, it was Tyler who pulled up the initiative and that's why I made some effort in return." Cleared Umber.

"That's kid not that dimwit after all the last time I lectured him at home worked well." complimented Danielle in return.

"You were part of the squad?" questioned Caroline as her grey eyes narrowed down to her husband.

"Your romantic personality still never fades with time like for me. You not only secretively fill our daughter's ears with nonsense perhaps you did the same for the poor boy. At least I feel could be much better than you coz I can't even trust my genes now due to you," taunted Caroline sarcastically yet again.

"I knew that only kid who work with her when our daughter first mentioned her love for him. At least I am the one she approached me before you," spoke Danielle, proving his superiority.

"Like peas in a pod, a father and a daughter who are like-minded. What was I expecting." Backfired Caroline with her huge sarcasm.

"Mom, Dad. It's my date night today and I have grown up already. I can take care of myself now that I am capable to earn. Can I have permission to leave." spoke Umber reaching for her car keys.

"Drive safely dear, come home on time, and share your GPS location with Dad. You might be grown up but for us, you are always our kid." Instructed her mother Caroline while waving her off.
