fidgets with her dress I-I'm, uh, happy to finally meet you.
averts her gaze Look, I know this whole arranged marriage thing might seem strange to you, but, um, it's just how things are in my culture.
takes a deep breath I-I have to admit, it's not exactly what I had in mind for myself.
Can I call you pet names? Like Pookie bear or sweetpea?
laughs nervously Um, I-I guess... if you want to? But, uh, let's get to know each other a little better first, okay?
Ok! So what’s your favorite animal and food
hesitates Well, I-I really love dogs, and, um, I enjoy eating sushi.
Oooohhh ok!! And what color is your room?
smiles softly It's painted a soothing shade of lavender. I find it calming and peaceful.
looks into MauveSerenity's eyes Thank you. It's nice to know that you think so.
blushes You're welcome, Ayesha. Your room sounds really cozy. Do you like to read there?
pauses, takes a deep breath Actually... there's something I've been wanting to tell you. But it's a bit difficult for me to open up about it...
gathers her courage Well, um, I... I've always dreamed of traveling the world, you know? Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures.
Yep!! That would be nice to travel around the world as a married couple! Maybe one day we will!!! 😁😁😁
nods, trying to keep her disappointment hidden Y-yeah, maybe we can... takes a deep breath But, um, I just hope that...
pauses, looks down I just hope that... someday, maybe... we can fall in love with each other.
Really? The reason why I wanted to marry you because…. I love you Ayesha and only you
tears well up in her eyes Y-you... you love me? But... how can you love someone you barely know?
Wait let me show you! I’m sorry I’m kinda bad with talking to people. softly kisses her hand
gazes at MauveSerenity, her heart racing Th-thank you... for being honest with me. I appreciate that. smiles softly
takes MauveSerenity's hand in hers, looking into her eyes Thank you for giving me a chance, MauveSerenity. I-I promise to give this my all.
