AUTHOR'S POV:

"What happened, lali ? You seem lost. Is something wrong?" Jennie asked with concern as they sat in his car, making their way towards Anantrakul Mansion.

"You were Right nini!" Lalice said, focusing on the road but his face was pale.
"What happened lali? You are scaring me, stop the car at the side and talk please" He stops the car at the reserve area and looks at her.

"What happened baby?" She asked, cupping his face.
"There is something wrong!" He said.
"What's wrong? Tell me properly" she asked worriedly.
"P'sam......P'becky there is something wrong between them" he said.

"Why are you saying that lali? You yourself said to me that they are normal then why suddenly?"

"When I came out of the house to come here I heard bro-sis's conversation, they are not like a normal couple nini, I was wrong,
Sis was saying something about sleeping uncomfortably on the couch" His voice sounded sad.

He tells her the conversation happened between Becky and Sam.

"We can't jump to the conclusion, Avy Relax! Maybe they fought"
"No! There was not a slight hint of fighting it was something else..I can't tell in words"

"Then how will we find what's between them?" Jennie asked in confusion.
"Let's talk grandpa, he must know. He asked bro to marry sis , if bro was not ready then grandpa would have known, we will ask him in the nigh after I come back home" he said to
which she nodded.

In the Evening...

At robert's room..

"Grandpa we want to talk about something with you" lalice said with hesitation to ask him or not.

"Yes ask"

"Umm.. grandpa when you fixed Phi sam's marriage with P'becky were they happy..? I mean to
say th----" he got cut by Robert in the middle.
"So you guys noticed?" Robert asked to which lalice looked down and nodded slightly.

"I will not rush around the bushes, lalice, you are now big enough to understand what's going on in your surroundings, and it has to happen someday."

"What do you mean grandpa?" Jen asked in confusion.
"What I mean is...Yes there is nothing right between them." He replied seriously, making the couple shocked.

"Then why didn't we get to know about it in these months?" Lalice asked in shock.

"Didn't you notice your Phi avoiding staying home?" Robert's voice came out in sarcasm.

"They had an arranged marriage, it was my decision and I'm not a bit guilty of that, Sam was not happy with the idea of marriage, it was me who asked him or you can say order
him".

"Grandpa, how can you do that? You know na they are not happy together, why did you kill their happiness?" Lalice asked, hurt laced in his voice.

"Who said they are not happy?" The couple frowned at his question more like a reply.

"Do you ever feel that they are not happy together? They will understand they are happy or not when they will stay close, it's nothing like that my child, it just they are strangers who
are not trying to become known"

"Sam is thinking he lost his freedom, he had some expectations with his better half, but you tell me lalice can you get a better Sister in law than Rebecca? Would we have got a better daughter-in-law than her?" He asked to which lalice shook his head in negative.

"But grandpa what about bro an---" lalice got cut in the middle by Robert.
"Whether Sam accepts it or not, he is dependent on Becky unknowingly, if they try, their relationship will work, but for Sam,being a perfect husband means fulfilling responsibilities. But I know becky doesn't want to be someone's responsibility only, because they are fulfilled as a work which a person thinks they have to do no matter if they want or not. But she desires a partner who willingly gives her opportunities and does things
for her out of genuine desire, not as a burden."

"Sam is stubborn he can only be tamed by becky, his life is messed up which only Becky can take on the right track".

"Trust me kid becky is far better than his expectations, the only thing is they have to realize it, I have seen them caring for eachother, joseph told me about the office incident if Sam wanted he would have ignored but he didn't, they need to spend more time together
then they will realize, time is great, magic happens in seconds" Robert smile at them while they listen to his every words attentively.

Soon they heard the sound of the door knob and looked to find rose coming inside.
"Arey you guys still here?" She asked, raising her right eyebrow.
"We were just leaving grandma! Good night guys" lalice said and they both left the room.

"Are you stressed about bro lali?" Jennie asked him when they entered their room.
"What do you think nini? P'sam has always been my mentor, he is my best friend than being brother, I can
share everything with him so I feel bad that he didn't get chosen to marry someone he adores."

"But in these 4 months P'becky has pampered me a lot, I have seen true love and respect for us in her eyes, she always hides bro's absence like nothing happened between them and no doubt she is best for bro, but is he good for her? Maybe she too had some expectations."

"I feel bad for both of them, they are not happy together" lalice said, he was hurt that he didn't even know what was going on in his favorite people's life.

"Lali baby but what grandpa said was also right, they need to work right, without trying they can't lose hopes, even we can't reach a conclusion!"
Jennie said cupping his cheeks.

"You are right nini I know they are perfect for eachother, only sis can make bro better, they need to understand it but for that they need to come close and talk, but how will they?"

They both thought for some seconds.
"I have an idea!" Jennie jumped from her place excitedly.

"What is it?" Lalice asked curiously.
