Saifah's P.O.V

He heard people saying how small the world is. And that it's round and if you keep walking you're bound to meet the same person again. And for once, he can finally see some truth to it.

He knows where they are going. What is supposed to happen. And who they will be meeting. At least that's what he thought. While it's true that he has been expecting to be introduced to his fiancé for some time now, he didn't know it's actually him. Then he remember the bookstore, the quote and the brown pen. He is not sure if he's the one who wrote the quote. But one thing's certain: it stirred something in him.

As such he was pleasantly surprised at the turn of events. And though it didn't change his initial opposition against the arranged marriage, his good feelings were enough to put him in a relatively good mood while the elders were discussing and explaining to them the arrangement.

But the same thing can't be said about the person in front of him. Who seemed tensed and looks like he is going to dash to the door and runaway in any minute. Still he find him nice to look at though he'll probably look better if he wasn't being a big bundle of nerves.

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted when his supposed future father-in-law cleared his throat and asked his son to take him and have a tour of the garden.

His fiancé doesn't seem to like the idea but complied anyway.
