AS she was preparing breakfast for her and Lia, Rosy grinned to her ears. The situation was like magic when she recalled what had transpired the previous evening, and she immediately had a romantic life. Additionally, he is not an ordinary person. She started eating right after she was done cooking. as she will wash her clothes before cleaning her room. In order to collect the dirty garments, she returned to her room. I then went back to the kitchen once more to get some water. Lia was in the kitchen preparing noodles for her hangover.
"I cooked something, Lia," she said.
"I've seen it, but I like hot soup, Rosy."
"You have a headache, right?"
"Yes, I felt different last night than when we first went to the bar, Rosy. My headache is jeez, like squeezing my brain now." She responded while stirring what was being cooked, but when she remembered what she saw last night, he faced Rosy. "You guys are together now?" she asked. 
Rosy got what she said."What are you talking about, Lia?" Of course, she won't say first if she and Matthew are already in relationships. 
"Hey! Rosy, don't lie to me; even though I was drunk last night, I know what I saw; will you admit it?"
Rosy used her mouth to pointed what she was cooking because it was about to overflow. Lia immediately turned off the fire, put the noodle in a bowl, brought it to the table, and faced Rosy again. "Are you going to talk or not, Rosy?"
"You like threatening me, huh?"
"Okay, what is it, Rosy? Tell me," Lia said slowly. 
Rosy smile."I don't know, Lia." when he told me to. Let's date for real. I just nodded."
"Who wouldn't, Rosy? You've already kissed. And I think he's a good kisser, am I right?"
Rosy nodded. It was a different kiss, and his breath was like he was swallowing perfume, even though it still had the smell of alcohol. 
"Even me, Rosy. Yes, I will go for it that your ex-Mark has nothing on him. And it's a good thing that bitch hasn't scored on you yet; he's so kind to look, but he was a maniac. Gosh, I'll hit him when I see him, Rosy, promise. even you when you see him. Give him a couple slaps in his face, huh?"
"I don't think so, Lia? For me, it seems like I don't even know him anymore, nor does she cross my mind."
"I know why—because of your handsome boyfriend, Rosy."
"No, Lia. isn't because of him. Yes, I felt so angry when I found out he was getting married because he cheated on me. Maybe that time I was just taken by his sweet words, so I accepted his love. You know we met not too long ago?"
"Yeah, that's why I wonder, why did you two become a couple all of a sudden?"
"Let's not talk about him anymore, Lia. He's out of my life now."
"So, we're talking about him? Wait, what's his name? Even though he said it last night, I can't remember."
"Matthew Montefiore."
"Whoa, even from his name, you can figure out that he was rich. Now what is your plan, Rosy?"
Rosy shook her head. She doesn't know. It's up to them what happens. If he is like his ex, who just left without saying anything. 
"Nothing? Okay, after all, you're just getting started. Well, what if he suddenly disappears, Rosy?"
"I'm used to it, Lia. Let's go drink and get drunk so I'll forget about it tomorrow."
"Like that? But I don't think so; you were immediately hit by him, right?"
Rosy didn't say a word because Lia was right—morning already when she fell asleep because she was thinking about Matthew. 
After they ate their breakfast, Matthew's mother invited them to sit in the living room so they could talk about what the older brother said earlier: that he's going to get married. 
"So, tell me what's going on here," Matthew asked immediately. 
"Okay, Matthew, I will explain to you."
Matthew looked at his mother. He thinks that she is the one who has a plan for his marriage. 
Before speaking, the lady looked at her husband. 
"Tell him, Maeva," replied the gentleman to his wife. 
"Matthew, you know I'm sick, right?"
Yeah, he knows this because he once looked at his mother when he was a doctor. It has heart disease. If it wasn't for the father, it might have disappeared from the world long ago. The father is its personal doctor. He nodded to his mother. 
"That's why we went to America, to check the condition of my heart." So the doctor said, I'm going to have a heart transplant."
Matthew looked at his father, who nodded at him. "So, Mom. What is my connection to your health?"
"Well, I agree to the heart transplant but I can't be sure. If I can survive or if I die the day of my operation, But of course I trust your father's advice, and if something happens, I will not blame anyone when I am in the afterlife. So, what I want before my surgery is to see you get married. even if I can't see my grandson for you. I'm sure you will have them like your sister and brother. because you're already married. "I'm happy even though I can't make it to my operation, Matthew!"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" "Dad, don't let that happen to you."
"Yes, I know. Matthew. As for me, I just prepared. We don't know what will happen in the future, do we?"
"Okay, Mom. If that makes you happy, fine. I agree to get married," he could tell Rosy the reason why he immediately asked them to get married; maybe she can understand him. 
Matthew's mother's face lit up when she agreed. Also, those in front of him are smiling. 
"Really, my son, Okay, I already talk to her. I know you'll like her."
Upon hearing what the mother said, he frowned. means his mother has already planned everything. "What do you mean? I will like her, Mom?" he still asked, even though the mother said clearly. 
"Yes, Matthew. She's beautiful, and she's also a model. I met her at the gala party. And we have a dinner with her."
"As with you, so with Dad?"
"Me and Gabrielle met first. You know what, Matthew, she's the sister of Gabriel Magno. The president of M&F Industry "Small worlds, right?"
What were Gabriel and her names? It's really a small world. because Gabriel and Rosy know each other. But he understood his mother. He will listen to everything he has to say first. 
"After that, your father and your brother met her. We were talking about you. I told her that I had another son. I showed her your picture. And I asked her if she had a boyfriend. She said she has been single for a long time because she is focusing on her career first. I know you're too picky when it comes to women, Matthew. Gabrielle, you and I may both like it. I think you two are a good match. So, I'll tell her if she likes you. No more fumbling. We arrange your engagement. When we come back here."
"What? Do you mean, all of you, decided, Who'm I going to marry?" He looked at them. He wants to get angry, but he must control himself because he's in front of his parents.
"Matthew, this is Mommy's
wish. She said her operation is 50-50. Make her happy before it's too late," his brother said.
"Well, Matthew. I like her already. I can say she's nice. And we like her. Isn't it okay that we like her?" said his sister. 
"Sis, even if you don't like the girl I'm going to marry, Still, I'm going to marry her. Because it's not you who will be with her but me, and we won't be together in the same house."
As Matthew said, the mother looked at him. She sensed that her son would oppose what she wanted. 
"Okay, but Mom liked her so much, Matthew. Mom looked so happy when they were together. Is that good that they get along right?"
"I don't know her at all." How can I marry a woman whom I have never seen? "So you guys are happy, but I'm not!"
because of what she heard from her son. The lady held her chest as suddenly as she felt a pain in her heart. 
"Maeva!" The gentleman stood up when he saw his wife holding her chest and attended to her immediately. "Are you okay, hon?" he asked. 
The lady shook her head. because the pain in her chest intensified. 
They all stood up. They approached the lady. 
"Dad, let's take Mom to the hospital," Matthew said. 
"No, I'm okay; I just feel pain," the lady objected. 
His older brother looked at Matthew carefully like his eyes said. Your fault! 
"Let's go to the room first, Maeva, so you can rest."
The lady nodded to her husband and stood up. 
"Matthew, don't leave; we'll talk when I come down," his father told him. 
"Okay, Dad," he replied. 
They sat down again. Silence prevailed for a moment between them. 
"Don't you want to follow Mommy's wishes, Matthew? Or do you have a girlfriend now?" asked his sister. 
Matthew looked at his sister. "Yes, and we just started."
"You're new, and I think you don't have deep feelings for your girlfriend, Matthew," said his older brother Michael. 
Matthew took a deep breath. Yes, he and Rosy are about to start. But for him, Rosy is the one he wants to be with forever. 
because of Matthew's sigh. "So, are you falling in love with her?"
Matthew nodded at his older brother's question. 
"Well, for me being your brother. I want you to be happy in your marriage life. Because marriage is a big responsibility, even though you have all the power and money. It's like you're going to war. Because if you can't handle your marriage properly, it isn't going to work. You lose the fight. So, for me, whatever your decision is, I will support you! "
Matthew looked at his brother. He was certain that if he married Rosy, he would handle everything for them. He didn't even know Rosy very well. But he knows in his heart that she's a good person or wife someday. But now, when he saw his mother in pain, his mind was suddenly confused. He loves his mother. He can do everything for her. Just don't come into his life.
Their father came down."Matthew, follow me." He walked toward his library office. 
Matthew immediately stood up."I'll leave you for now," he said to them. 
They nodded to him and he followed their father. 
"Sit down, Matthew."
He sat down immediately. 
"I know you have an idea of what we're talking about, Matthew."
"About Mom, or maybe the marriage that Mom talked about?"
"Both."
"So, you're going to convince me to agree to what Mommy wants, Dad?"
"Yes and no."
Matthew shook his head and smiled at what his father said."Tell me, Dad!"
"Okay, your mother's condition has worsened. She's weak; you can only see her strong because of the medicine. In fact, I don't want her to go to those wandering parties anymore. But she was happy. So, I just let her go wherever she wants. You might think I agree with your mother. No, I just want her to be happy. You are also a doctor, Matthew. I will allow you to examine your mother too. so you can see her condition. If the heart transplant hadn't been done on the right day or at the right time, I don't know what would have happened to her because until now her name has been second on the donor list around the world. So, we don't know when the operation will happen.
"So, your suggestion is that I agree with Mommy's wish to marry the girl she likes, right, Dad?"
"Well, yes. We learn to love someone, especially if it's good, Matthew."
"How can I do that, Dad? If I already have someone I love, and I know that I love her. At my age, I have finally found the woman I want to be with forever. If only Mommy wants to see his grandson before something else happens. I will, but for the woman I loved, Dad."
"How will that happen if we talk about your engagement and she agrees? We even went home together to tell the parents about the engagement. Do you want to embarrass us or call your mother a liar, Matthew?"
"Dad?" Matthew felt like crying in front of his father. 
"I know you're having a hard time. How about marrying her then divorcing her? If your mother was..." He swallowed, unable to say what he had to say. You know what I mean, Matthew."
"Dad, there is no divorce here, you know that. And do you think, Dad, that woman will agree? I don't think so."
The gentleman nodded. Maybe she's not because she hasn't even seen his son in person, only the picture, and she's already in love. "Consider Matthew for the sake of your mother. Make her happy. What makes her happy is that she got her wish to marry her."
Matthew clenched his fist. He sighed."I'm going, Dad."
"Okay, don't get drunk, because it won't help you." his father's reminder
Matthew just nodded at his father. Will he be able to do what he says? Right now, he wants to consume a bottle of hard liquor.
