You Of All People 10 3 Days Ago

"One Cheeseburger, one Lasagna, one Caesar Salad and... Violet what's yours?"

"Tuna Sandwich with additional Tuna Salad. Thanks a lot Thea, I'll go look for a table" said Violet making her way out from the queue while scrolling through her phone. Dressed in her Trench coat with a floral dress underneath, sporting a ponytail and black wedge heels.

"Violet! Girl I'm so hungry. We really should have a farewell party for you today" said by a girl dressed in black short skirt, red high heels, and red hoodie. She came up to and walked by Violet's side

"Nah it's ok Melody, at least I get to have our last meal together here at the Food Hall. Oops sorry. This place is always so full. I hope this never change" Violet accidentally b.u.mped onto someone.

"We'll miss you! Really! Won't you stay just for one day?" Melody reached and pulled Violet's arm.

"I really can't, sorry Melody. There's one table free by the window. C'mon!" Violet dragged Melody to the table.

"Girls here's our food! Really Violet, can't you extend for one day? I mean tomorrow's our graduation and you're missing out. What's so important that you have to rush back home?" Thea placed their orders.

"I actually don't know much, my family's going to an important event and my dad wants all of us to attend. And besides, I'm the only one here and my family won't be able to attend in my graduation anyways. My siblings overseas are already on their flight home as we speak. Here read this." After Violet pa.s.sed her phone, she carefully inserted the Tuna Salad in her Sandwich. And ate with much delight.

"What's this Violet? (Clears throat) 'My Dearest Prettiest Baby Girl, Mommy and Daddy wants to apologize for not being able to attend your graduation. And Daddy would like to ask you to head back home tonight, I've already booked your flight. Daddy will make it up to you. There's a very important event that we have to attend to. It's really important baby girl. Please for Daddy? Daddy misses you so much and also mommy too. See you soonest my treasure. With Lots of love and joy, The Best Dad in the whole world.' Wow. Your Dad is as mushy and clingy as ever" Melody read the message aloud.

"Really? Is that really it? We've known each other for years. And I know you like the back of my hand" Thea mockingly poke Violet's stuffed cheeks.

"I side with Thea! Girl! We know you! The only reason that's even more important for you is that your dying to see that boyfriend of yours back home" snickered Melody.

"No-not re-really" stammered Violet.

"As if, ever since he left here 6 months ago to go back home I know you've been itching to follow. And now you have a reason to. Are you finally making it official? Are you introducing him to the family?" said Thea without stopping and breathing.

"Yeah and what's up with you guys? Why all the secrecy? Why hide your relationship?" Melody inquired.

"I give up, can't really escape from you guys. Sighhh. I really do miss him. We rarely talk this past 3 months. Especially this month, I only get to talk to him once a week. Not just because of the time difference, he's too busy and I'm busy. He took over their family's business. We seem to have difficulty in finding each other free time. Long-distance relationship is so hard" Violet lamented.

"Really? You had it hard girl. But why did you guys hid your relationship? I implore you to answer since you're leaving us here hahaha" Thea pointed to Violet.

"Um.. well.. how do I say this... You know how my family can be protective"

"They're over the top" Melody interjected.

"Yeah.... well yeah. My Dad and brothers forbade me from dating or else they'll kill him. I know they're joking but they'll definitely won't stop at being mischievous. You how annoying my brothers are. And as for him, he wanted to introduce me personally to his family first" dejectedly said to the two.
