How can I marry him? That man whom I've met recently? That man that I admit is a really good looking one? But who cares? I'm not attracted to him, I won't be and will never be!
Flashback 3 weeks ago
"Athena.. honey are you up? Or you want me to come inside?" My mother knocked at my door talking loudly enough to disturb my wonderful dream. This is our scenario every week end morning. But i think today is different, she never wakes me up at 6 am. Hello!? Who wakes up this early on Saturday?
"Urggggg. What's up now?" I mumbled rising up from my bed. "Yes mom.. I'm already up. Coming down on 5!" I said stumbling to stand up and walked to my bathroom.
Looking at my self in the mirror. I'm hardly noticeable to be the same girl I was 5 months ago. Dark circles under my eyes with my pale skin color. My hair is dry and I think i loose about 50 pounds since then. So thin and lifeless as I describe what I'm seeing in the mirror: my reflection.
Taking a quick shower then drying my hair off. I went to my closet and quicly grabbed my favorite jogging pants and hoodie jacket. My favorite pair of clothes I wore every morning on week ends when I go jogging.
"Oh honey what took you so long. I told you to....." My mom came to me rolling her eyes with both hands under her waist. Looking so furious like she's about to scold her little child.
"What do you think you're wearing young lady?" She said while pinching the side of my waist.
"Mom!!!!!" I said complaining.
"Have you forgotten? We have an important visitors coming over lunch and I need you to help me prepare. So, go up now and change for an appropriate dress before I pinch you again!" She said scolding me.
Oh yeah I forgot. She told me last night that their friends will visiting us today. But what's the fuss? There's no big deal about someone visiting us. Something's up! Today's really strange. First: my mother's really freaking the hell out trying to prepare lunch. Second: forcing me to look presentable for our visitors. Usually she never care what I wore. Ugh! She's really up to something and I have a feeling I'm not gonna like it.
"Fine mom. But let me go for a jog first. Okay?" I said raising my arms in surrender.
"No. Enough with your jogging thing today. You will help me in the kitchen, but before that you'll go up and change. Tsu now honey!" She said smashing my butt.
"Mom!!!! You know it's my eer.. ritual every morning. Besides i won't last a day not going for a jogging." I said explaining my self.
"Athena Ysabelle Miller!" She said my full name out loud. That's it! She's mad, and it's a bad thing making her angry. The last time I got her so mad was when I refused to leave my room for almost a month after my ex broke up with me and she barge in my room while I'm slepping in the morning and pour a very cold water all over me.
"Okay.Okay fine mom. But let me aleast wear what makes me feel comfortable. is that fair enough?" I said while immidiately walked past her to stop her from blocking me again.
"Oh God Athena. What did I do wrong raising you so hard headed." She said in disbelief. "Fine young lady. But you must swear you'll behave properly when our guest arrive Okay?" She said warning me.
I rolled my eyes at her and it makes her gone so mad chasing me down to the kitchen.
My mother is my best friend. I told her everything that happened to me and she listens very well. She was like my shoulder to cry on.
