I was trying to bring out my phone to read the message when I bumped someone. I looked up at him and he was looking at me,he was in a tuxedo and really looking good but his hair was not well combed. He must be really rich cause his aura smelt money and evil,I muttered sorry but he only smirked walking out on me and I left the environment.

I boarded a cab and through the drive home,I wondered and I kept thinking about the guy I bumped into.

I don't know why my mind keeps drifting back to that guy,is not that he is as handsome as my Richard.

Richard is more presentable than him even though Richard rarely wear suit,tuxedo but he is still good,girls always drool over him and I wondered why God blessed me with such a great guy,he has his flaws yet I love him unconditionally.

This guy would be a part of my life with the way my mind and instinct keeps drifting to him.

I got home and settled,I checked on mum and she was asleep.

I went to my room to catch some sleep when my phone rang and Richard picture displayed.

I picked it and we talked for what seems like a hour to him and a minute to me. I hung up when he was going to attend a dinner conference and when I asked him his outfit it always the same,top and jeans.

He talked Bout my refusal to get married and I gave him my word that I am going no where. I had a short nap after taking my late lunch.

I woke up around 5:pm and I was really tired. I went downstairs to fetch something to eat.

Almost done with my food,dad came back from work and I wondered why he came late today.

I welcomed him,mum also came down to welcome him.

"Darling when are we going to discuss with Lily on that matter" mum asked but I sense a kind I'd mixed emotions in her voice.

"Well that will be when I have a shower and change" Dad replied and he went upstairs. Mum and I were left alone,I turned on the TV to my Favorite channel and I started watching.

About some minutes later my phone beeped it was Jennifer's call and I picked it.

"How are you,hope you are fine"she queried

"of course I am good and you"

"Good also,I am with Anderson now"

"Wow that's nice,what are you doing if I may ask"

"That question is really silly you are asking what two grown ups are doing,anyways what about your counseling"

"Hmm I have gone there and it was really good,I really like the counsellor"

"That's good to hear,pray you get married very soon" Here goes that matters again.

"let's talk later"I said with a grin

"OK bye"

"bye"I hang up and glued my eyes on the TV.

Dad came downstairs and cleared his throat for attention. Mum sat on the couch with her leg crossed and dad sat near her,I face them with my leg crossed.

"Lily hope you are ready for this discussion"

"Yes Dad" I replied

"well we have two things to tell you" mum chirped in

"And what is it about?" I asked

"Lily" my dad began "I and your mum watched You grow up since you were a child,and I personally know you too well. We want the best for you,you are the only seed of our union you have no siblings and no other relative. So I and your mum was thinking of adopting a child" he looked at me and I looked away.

"You might be thinking of the reason why your mum can't give birth instead of adopting well your mum has low chances of giving birth so adoption is the best option".

He looked at me expecting me to say something,I looked at mum who was almost crying.

"Well dad,I understand that's decision,but it sound weird to me, I'm okay the I am well if Mom insists on adopting then am fine with that. it's only that's it would be difficult adjusting to that,so I don't quite agree with that but if Mom insists then who am I,I would have to adjust to it".

" okay Lily well the second matter is about your life"

"my life,what happened to my life" I asked tensely

" you are no longer a child" mom interrupted

" what we are you trying to say is that you are not getting younger,when are you going to get married"dad asked

That's question got me shocked,what did they think to this level did they hear rumours . why now for the past 3 years Richard and I I've been dating, my parents never talked about this.

"well we haven't discussed it" I lied because Richard has been pestering And discussing this issue with me but I turn it down.

"Then you need to" mom said

"do you know he's parent"

I don't know his parents anytime I told him to take me to his parents he would refuse saying the time hasn't come.

" I don't know them" dad

"How on earth is that possible" mom asked

Making me Flinch

"you don't know your supposed fiance parents and you are comfortable".

"mom I have tried talking to him but he won't listen,he said that it is not yet time for me to know them"

"but it was time for him to know your parents" mom retorted sharply

"dad,mom I said trying to calm them down they have never yelled or raised their voices at me before and I won't Let it happen now. "I am sorry but it isn't my fault,I have tried talking to him but he gave a deafening ear"

" you don't know any of he's relatives do you"dad queried anger in his voice.

"no but I know his sister"

"That sound pleasant to the ear,I want you and Richard to come to this house during the weekend,things like this needs to be ironed out".

"OK dad I will tell him"

"You must know his parents for God's sake" Dad said with finality in his voice.
