Ciara's POV

Since we entered the room Emily has not uttered a single word,she is just there sipping from her teacup,lost in her thoughts. I wonder what at all has brought her spirit so down.

"Hey Emily"

"Hello"
I call her once more whiles waving my hands at her face before she finally hears my call.

"what is wrong with you ? you've been quiet ever since we came to my room."

" it's better if you tell me what's wrong than to keep it in you or you don't trust me enough to tell me" I say trying to get what she is keeping in her out

" don't say that Ciara you are my bestfriend,why won't I trust you?  that is the main reason why i came here in the first place. To tell you everything"she says

"Okay then"i say pleased

"So what's wrong"I ask

"It's just about my sister,Melanie."she begins

"Oh okay.........so what's up with her"

"She brought Samuel to the house."she continues

"Okay and what happened"
I ask curious to hear the rest of the story

"Samuel came to ask her hand in marriage"she tells me still sad.

"Wow such good news .I always knew those two will end up getting married.They are soo cute together.But I don't understand why this is the reason to this sadness."I say still in doubt

"The thing is that my father didn't approve of the marriage. I know you will be wondering why. The thing is that Samuel's family has this history which is quiet appalling and they are having some financial problems presently so it's like a taboo for her to even think about marriage with him."she explains

"Okay...........so why did she even get involved with him in the first place If she knew that they don't have a future together." I ask still in doubt.

"According to her ,Samuel and her were just friends but their friendship developed into something much deeper and she fell in love with him without even noticing what she has gotten herself into."She explains further

"So what is your dad's decision then"I ask

"My dad said he is not ready to accept him as his son in law. He also said if she marries him then he will just disown her forever and never would she be allowed to step foot in our house"she says

"But that is not fair I dont think they should suffer the consequences of what happened in the past ".
I say feeling very sad for Melanie because she is such a nice person and i don't think she deserves this unfair treatment.

"So do your Mother accept this disowning something?"
I ask

"I really know that she doesn't agree to what dad said ,because afterall Melanie is her first daughter and she wouldn't like it if she is to cut all ties with her but then what can she do?,it's her duty as a wife to agree with whatever her husband says so she is quiet helpless ".she explains with sorrow.

"Wow these duties and traditions are just not fair. What if the husband's decision is meant to cause division in the family?  this is soo unfair.
I now understand your mood. I would have felt very sad if i had a sister who is going through such pain ."I tell her sincerely

"Hmmm...........now I dont even feel happy when i go home because the place is too tensed and i hate to see my sister cry everyday."she says

"So what is Melanie planning on doing."I ask
