Chapter 2 At the party

The driver was already at the airport patiently waiting for Jenny, he had been there for about 30 minutes ago, he was just standing beside the black van, crossing his legs with his hands folded around his waist.

By this time Jenny's plane just landed, and she was still waiting for her luggage so they could get home, she collected her luggage and just as she stepped out the first person who embraced her was her mother, she handed her a bouquet, she took the bouquet and quickly embraced her mum it was long they embraced themselves, the driver was patiently waiting for them to finish so they could get home, but Mrs. Britney delayed Jenny at the airport because she wanted everything to be set before they arrive, it was a surprise so everything had to be in place before their arrival, Mrs. Britney was admiring her daughter telling her how much she missed her, how she had become a grown-up woman, and how the past eight years without her was just miserable, she told Jenny, as she received her call in the morning she couldn't believe her baby was going to back home. Jenny was equally happy to be back home as she was going to be constantly around the love of her life Liam who was equally working at the Ayanne's hospital. As they were talking, Mrs. Britney's phone rang, it was the chief maid, she was informing her that everything was set, the guest was already around and they were already waiting for them. Immediately, Mrs. Britney and Jenny left for the house, Jenny wasn't aware there was going to be a party but she was expecting one because she already knew the type of parents she had. It was already 8 pm in the evening when they left for the house, on their arrival the whole house was dark, no light was perceived at the Ayanne's house and Jenny wondered why the lights were off but couldn't imagine something was happening, she obediently followed her mum to the parlor. Everything sounded as usual and once they entered the house the lights were on, what a shock for Jenny who taught that was all about her arrival after staying out of the house for close to eight years, the surprise kept a bright smile on her face, she was glad to see her old friends, family and family friends, she was equally glad to see her cousin Sasha. She toyed around to see those who were present at her surprised party organized by her parents, she met her boyfriend's younger brother, she met her parents-in-law to be, they warmly welcomed her she stayed with them for about 20 minutes and continued walking around, everybody knew in the hall that she was walking around to greet the guest, but that wasn't true, Jenny was searching for some particular person and that was Liam, she searched for him everywhere including the terrace, but Liam was nowhere to be found, and started asking her self what might have blocked Liam making him absent at her party. She rushed to her mum, looking at her it showed she was about to pour some tears, her mum who already knew what was going on just pretended Liam had a lot to do at the hospital, and couldn't be present at the party. When Britney said that to her daughter, Jenny's nerves calmed down, and she told her mother first thing tomorrow she was gonna be at the hospital to ask Liam if the patients were more important than her, Mrs. Britney agreed to Jenny's suggestion and proposed they should leave for the hospital together, Jenny accepted and went back inside to meet her friends and the rest of the guests, just as she entered her father was behind her, she didn't have to turn to know it was her father, already from the perfume, she knew it was her lovely dad, she turned and embraced her dad warmly, she was happy to meet again with him after 8 years of complete separation. Mr. Felix handed over his gift to Jenny, she opened it right in front of her dad and discovered it was an expensive wristwatch, immediately she removed the one she was putting on and wore her dad's own. The wristwatch was beautiful, it was glowing on her hands, she looked at her hands for about 10 minutes, and embraced her dad again, she was beautifully rocking her gift. Her cousin Sasha came from behind and saw the watch Jenny was putting on, even she was not comfortable with it she had no choice other than to compliment the watch positively, Jenny thanked her cousin, as the two cousins were discussing, one of the waitresses came forth and told Jenny that Mrs. Zheng was calling for her, she rushed to go meet her, Mrs. Zheng offered her some hot drink and proposed she sit with her so they could have some few words, Jenny accepted her invitation and sat close to her, Mrs. Zheng asked how was the United States and how she was coping there been far away from her family and her close friends, Jenny answered all questions, as she replied she was doing good, Mrs. Zheng equally apologized for the absent of Liam, but Jenny told her not to border about that, and that the party was not that important. Jenny said this was because she never wanted her mother-in-law to be stressed, deep inside of her, Liam's absence was bothering her, she was disturbed but could not freely express her mind. It was already 11 pm and the guests were already leaving for their various homes, Jenny's friends embraced her and she accompanied them to the gate, she equally accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Yang to the gate until when they entered their car, she returned to her room, her bed was dressed with a beautiful pink bed sheet, pink was her favorite color, the order came from her mother as she wanted her daughter to feel good in her room after spending 8 years without sleeping there
