Jerry parked the car infront of the modern villa house. His friends were amazed by looking at the designed.
They wondered who is the owner of the house.
And somehow as if God heard their thoughts, someone they really know appeared infront of the house, holding a dog.
"Lia Jasmine?" They asked in sync.
She's in the same university as them.
Without knowing that, Lia is already looking at them, confused. She put down her dog and walked towards the gate.
Jerry and Marco took this chance to go outside, since they are going to ask a permission to interview her parents. leaving Abel and Zayn inside the car.
Lia opened the door gate.
"Hi" Said Marco while smiling, he always make sure that Lia never feels awkward with him.
It is because he likes her friend.
Meanwhile Jerry just stand there, shy and full of awkward because he got rejected by her.
"I know why you guys come here...My dad is inside"
"Come and follow me. Don't mind my dogs, they don't bite" She said without even looking at her back, she hate that friend of group except for Marco.

"One last question...What do you do for living?" Jerry asked, focus on his research about people who live in his neighbourhood.
"I'm an interior designer..."
On the other hand, 3 of his other friend were just seat down and enjoy their hot drinks with some biscuits for them.
After done with the interview, Mr Liew look at them one by one. As if he was scanning their face.
"What is your name again?" He asked while looking at Abel.
"Abel Sebastian"
He then put a smile on.
"Would you like to be my son-in-law?"
Hearing that makes all of them in the living room silence. Abel coughed.
"What was that again?" He asked, making sure he heard it well by what Mr Liew asked him.
"I would like you to be my son-in-law"

"If i were you i will surely say 'yes' instead of making things complicated" Zayn said, being jealous over his friend. Who wouldn't be jealous, he got an offered to marry Lia Jasmine, she's from the rich family.
Zayn stared at him. If only he have the same religion as Lia, Maybe her father might asked him instead of Abel.
"The fact that...why did her father suddenly wants his daughter to marry in such a young age?"
"None of us wanted to know that now. You do really know her father is rich and Lia is well-known at our university. I suggested you to agree on this marriage. This will help you and your family too." Says Marco, trying to be mature in such situation.
They know that Abel's family financial is not stable. And by marrying Lia, maybe he could at least help his family.
Abel sighed.
He put down his face onto the pillow and kicking his feet on the air.
They all looked at each other.
For them, Abel is so lucky to be Mr Liew son-in-law.
In Abel thoughts, this will only lead problem to his life.
They were too young since they were just 24 years old. He bet Lia would be disagreed about this too.
And living the rest of his life with Lia? The girl with such a cold treatment? A big no for him.
"Welp...we will not disturb you but think about it...you have already given Mr Liew your parents number. I bet he's already called them"
Marco said then leave Abel alone in the dorm.
"And please do let Jerry know to not tell anyone about what is going on between Abel and Lia....this needs to be private" Marco whispered at Zayn before both of them seperated their ways.

Lia was walking down the hallway, alone by herself. Some students who walk passed by her kept on looking because she's not an art student.
She stopped her step and read the signboard.
She sighed and looked down.
Confused whether she should come in or just wait for him to come outside.
As she looks up she was startled by his appearance.
Abel.
"I knew you would come here to meet me, come follow me"
She glared at him as he lead the way. Abel brought her to the back of the building art class. No one was there unless them.
Lia looked around, it was clean and the wall was painted and drew by the art student. Clearly shows how they took good care of the building.
He leaned his back on the wall with his hand in his pocket, he looked at Lia, waited for her to talk.
"Are you really sure about this?"
"I have no choice"
"You do have, you could have just say no."
Abel scoffed. He then move closer to Lia. They both stared at each other.
"Well...i heard that our engagement have been already discussed" He winked and move away from Lia.
If he stays longer, he might get slap in the face.
She stared at him in disbelief, she do know about how her father discussed their engagement without her agreement. As if her world fall apart, she don't want to be married with some random student in her university.
Without her realizing, a single tear drop from her eyes.
Abel who saw that just keep quiet, he was studying Lia.
