A Failed Arrange Marriage Setup

A Chance Encounter

Eva Rose woke up early in the morning, her routine well-practiced and precise. As the sun's rays gently kissed her face, she reached for her phone to turn off the alarm and immediately checked her work emails. Her fingers danced across the screen as she joined the daily scrum meeting and gave updates on her current projects.

After her morning meeting, she headed to the bathroom to freshen up. A quick shower and she was ready to tackle the day ahead. Back at her desk, Eva delved into her work, taking occasional breaks to stretch her legs and clear her mind.

At lunchtime, Eva prepared a simple yet satisfying meal and enjoyed it in the comfort of her home. The workday continued, with Eva diligently working on her tasks until it was time to log off at 7 pm or sometimes 9 pm

Finally free from work, Eva relaxed by scrolling through her social media feeds, catching up with friends and family. Time seemed to fly, and before she knew it, it was already 10 pm. She hurriedly had her dinner and went for a calming evening walk.

On weekends, Eva made sure to treat herself. She spent time at the malls, shopping for little luxuries and pampering herself with some self-care. When she wasn't indulging in retail therapy, she would catch up on her favorite series or meet friends for coffee.

One weekend, while Eva was leisurely enjoying her morning, her phone rang. It was her father, sharing pictures of a guy along with his biodata. Her initial reaction was disinterest, but she later decided to give it a read. As she went through the biodata, something caught her eye – Jason Falcon's expectations aligned with her thoughts and values.

Intrigued, Eva considered taking the conversation forward. A few weeks later, on a Friday evening, she received a text from an unknown number introducing himself as Jason Falcon. Nervous and anxious, Eva replied that she was busy, though secretly she was merely anxious about the call. But when her friend asked about her weekend plans, she remembered the conversation and quickly reached out to Jason, asking if they could talk.

As Jason's call popped up on Eva's phone screen, her heart raced with nervous anticipation. She hesitantly answered the call, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. From the moment Jason spoke, his soft and comforting voice put her at ease. His nervousness was evident too, and he started with a simple topic—the weather. Eva chuckled inwardly, finding his attempt to break the ice endearing.

As the conversation flowed, Jason skillfully navigated through various topics, engaging Eva in discussions about her life, experiences, and aspirations. Eva found herself opening up, sharing stories of her joyful years back in her home country with her close friends. She spoke passionately about her job, her dedication to her work, and her love for learning and growing in her career.

Jason, being genuinely curious about Eva's expectations from marriage and her future plans, asked thoughtful questions. He wanted to know what she envisioned for her life and how he could be a part of it. Eva appreciated his interest and felt a growing connection with this kind-hearted stranger.

As the minutes turned into an hour and forty minutes, Eva realized she had never been so comfortable speaking to someone she barely knew. Her nerves had settled, and she felt a sense of comfort and ease while conversing with Jason. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and she was amazed at how Jason made her feel so relaxed and understood.

Eva, being an introvert, rarely initiated or enjoyed long phone calls, but with Jason, it was different. She wanted to continue talking and discover more about him. The way he asked deep and meaningful questions made her feel valued, and she found herself willingly sharing her thoughts and emotions.

When the call eventually ended, they exchanged warm goodbyes, both eager to speak again. Eva couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of happiness and excitement after the call. She immediately rushed to her friend and excitedly shared every detail of her conversation with Jason Falcon.

Later that evening, Eva texted him, "Hey hi! Can I ask you something?" Her heart fluttered as she awaited his response. She was overwhelmed with positive emotions, feeling a connection that she hadn't anticipated. In her heart, she hoped that this newfound connection with Jason would lead to something meaningful and beautiful. Her phone chimed as a text from Mr. Falcon popped on screen.
