AISHA'S POV

We arrived at Mico's house at 6:00 pm and I'm really nervous. It's just that, my mom doesn't want ne to hide things from her especially when she will know my secrets from others.

That really bothers her a lot.

"You're cold" Gelo said looking worried and pale.

Is this our judgement day?

We entered the house and it's empty, we saw a shadow from the dining room and we went there

They're here

They are laughing and drinking champagne

"Darling, you're here" My mom said then she smiled.

God. My mom can make me feel guilty at all cost

"Yes mom" I said and kissed her on her cheeks

"Where's dad?" I asked and mom looked at Tito Hunter (Mico's father)

"He went to Gelo's house to fetch his parents"

My mom said and we sat in front of Tito Hunter and his wife. And my mom

Where's Mico and Stacey?

"Where's Mico?" I told her and she shrugged

"Maybe he's contacting our visitors for tomorrow's engagement party. Mico is trying to cancel the engagement party because Katherine will find out"

"You knew" I said and I can feel my eyes tearing up

"Hunter invited me to his son's wedding. I'm absolutely disappointed to you Aisha. This is not you. Why would you do such a thing?" She asked calmly

"To keep the surprise confidential, mom. I'm really sorry" I heard her sighed

"You know what? When I found out that you're getting married we flew all the way from London to stop you. Aisha, you're an intellectual person. You won't marry someone you just met." She said

"But when your dad and I found out that you are getting married to the son of my closest friend. We didn't bother to stop you." My mom said and took a deep breath

"I'm a bit disappointed that you lied to us, Aisha. Also to you, Gelo" She said and Gelo looked at me

"But it looks like that you have a different connection now?" She said and she smiled

"We're together, mom" I said and looked at Gelo and he seems like he doesn't believe me

"Since when?" My mom asked

"Since today. November 15, 2019 6:20 pm" I said and Gelo hugged me

"I'm happy that the both of you are now official. Medyo guminhawa yung pakiramdam ko. But Aisha, please don't do such thing again" She said and I nodded

I walked towards her and kissed her forehead

My mom's really gentle

Gelo's mom and dad came so was my dad looking very angry

"I'm mad at you, Aisha. Why would you do that?" My dad said and I just hugged him.

He hugged me back

"That's the last time you'll lie to me, Aisha. That's not good" He said and I nodded

"Tita, I'm really sorry" She just nodded

"It's okay hija. I'm also expecting that Gelo's messing with us. He doesn't have any girlfriend tapos bigla na lang ikakasal sya. That's not possible" Tita said and tito nodded
