She finished arranging everything in the kitchen. She also brought the plastic bag into the wardrobe so she could put the dry flower in that room to keep the room fresh. She also needed to put the mothballs into each section in order to protect the clothes and accessories from being 'attacked' by creepy insects.
She quickly distributed the balls and then washed her hands with hand soap. Then, she went to have a quick shower to wash away all the tiredness in her body. It did not take long for her to be done and she went to the kitchen. Her stomach was starting to growl with hunger.
And she wanted to sleep early today.
So instead of cooking steaks, she decided to make chocolate oat smoothies. She soaked the oat and cashew nuts first and left them on the counter. Then, she went to get her phone to check if there was any message..
Then, she quickly called her mother. The first person she wanted to tell about her purchase was her parents.
"Hello, mother. Are you busy?" she asked when her mother answered the call.
"No. I am with your father in the garden," her mother replied. Although it was getting dark, the elder couple was happily tending their garden right beside their little house.
"How're the vegetables?" Ryn asked. She went back to the kitchen to check the soaking oat and cashew nuts.
"They grow so well. Next week I will post some for you, including chia seeds and flax seeds."
Ryn's face paled at the announcement. Her mother would not be serious, would she? Her mother knew she did not eat whatever her mother just mentioned. Wouldn't they go to waste if she sent them here?
Unconsciously she shivered at the thought of the parcel coming to this place. Hopefully... erm wait a minute. She was going to follow the newlywed on their honeymoon. She would not be here to receive it.
She started to smile. Those rabbit food would go bad before she could receive them so the fault was not hers.
"Wait a second. Mika is getting married in a few days, right? And you two are so close, she might bring you along for her honeymoon, right? I really don't understand the need to bring others along for the honeymoon. Where is this trend coming from? I really don't understand it. Will you bring Mika along during your honeymoon?"
"I... err... I am not the one who is getting married, mother," Ryn choked out. Where did this topic come from? And why was she even implicated in this matter? She was innocent!
After much difficulty, Ryn finally managed to distract her mother from the honeymoon trend. She took a deep breath before she said, "Mother, I have something to tell you."
Her mother gasped loudly before she could say the next words. "Are you pregnant?"
"No... mother, I am not pregnant. How could you... Mother!" she sputtered at the wild accusation. Why on Earth would her mother... Had those weird grains and vegetables decreased the brain cell in her mother's head?
"Then? Has he proposed? Wait... it is not a short-gun marriage, is it?" her mother gasped loudly, even making her father who was happily carrying their labor of love quickened his walk to approach her. He wiggled his brows, asking her silently who was it and why was his wife so excited.
"It's Ryn and she... might be..." his wife made a gesture of pregnant stomach with her other hand.
Her father's eyes went huge. His baby daughter was pregnant?
"No... no... mother. I am not pregnant and he hasn't proposed. No, don't misunderstand, please," Ryn begged.
"Fine. If you're not pregnant, are you sick, then?"
Ryn rubbed her temple. This misunderstanding was giving her a huge headache. Why couldn't her mother just listen first before she made an ȧssumption?
"Can you please let me speak first?" she asked, "Just listen first."
"Yes... yes... don't get angry or the baby will be too small," her father said quickly, worried about his grandchild.
"She said she's not pregnant," Ryn heard her mother tell her father. She silently thanked her mother for being understanding.
"Actually, I just want to tell you that I just bought a car," Ryn said hurriedly before either her parents started to think weird again.
"What? A car? You just call us just to tell you bought a car?" both the elders were still trying to digest the info. Their precious daughter called them suddenly just to tell them that she just bought a car as if it was something to celebrate. A car was essential nowadays and they also always tell their daughter to buy at least a second-hand in order to move around. It was fine when she lived close to the campus but once she moved, it would be difficult to go anywhere, especially when living in that gated community.
Although they haven't come to check the house yet, Ryn already showed them the neighborhood when she went to check the progress of the renovation. She also explained to them why she chose to buy a house there and they understood. After the scare she had after almost being kidnapped last time, living in a surrounded area with security all around could make her feel safer and they wanted her to feel safe.
They could not find any excitement. just the thought "Well, she finally stops being a stubborn mule. It's about time to buy a car."
Ryn was not hurt by the way her parents react to the news. She knew it was her fault to push the purchase to the back of her head all the time. Only today she decided that she needed to buy it. Well, at least she already told them. They could not blame her if they were unaware of this purchase.
She spent half an hour talking with her parents while at the same time making the smoothies. The oats and cashew nuts were done soaking while she was talking and she also did not want to wait any longer for her meal. She was getting hungrier but her parents seemed to still want to talk with her about their garden and what they planned to post to her.
And she tried to refuse but failed miserably. The only thing that could cheer her up was the fact that the vegetables might have gone bad when she finally returned from the honeymoon.
She washed everything she used and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She was full with the oat and nuts and now was ready to sleep.
*~*~*~*
The next day...
She woke up with a huge yawn and stretched out her arms amid the sound of the ringing alarm. Then, she stared at the wall blankly but after ten minutes, she suddenly jumped to her feet and rushed to the front.
She really bought a car. It was not a dream!
She stepped forward and squatted in front of the car. Her hand even touched the exterior of the car in marvel. Even though it was not one of the brands that Jeremy and Mika loved, she felt it was quite nice and suitable for her. It was not too big or too small for her. Enough for her when she needed to go to work as well as when she wanted to drop by at her parents' house.
It was another half an hour before she was done staring at her new car. She decided to call it White. Then, she returned back to the bedroom and reached for her mobile phone which she left to charge before she went to sleep last night.
She just remembered that she hasn't told Mika about White. So, she quickly sent the two pictures she took previously and sent them to her. She did not say hi nor put an explanation. Just those two photos.
She did not have to wait long for Mika's reaction. Her best friend's call was evidence that those two photos were enough.
"Hello, Mika. Good morning," she greeted with a grin.
"You bought a car without me?" Mika whɨnėd loudly. She ignored Jason who was sleeping beside her. The news was too serious for her to find another quiet place to call that silly best friend of hers.
"I bought it yesterday," Ryn explained.
"Without me?"
"I'm sorry. It was just a sudden decision. Besides, you're busy with the preparation," Ryn pointed it out dryly.
"Without me!"
Ryn sighed. How could she coax this childish girl that soon will become a wife?
"How about I let you be the first person into White? I'll drive you around?" Ryn suggested.
"Am I the first you tell about this?" Mika asked suspiciously.
"Well..." Ryn paused. Of course, Mika was not the first she told but then... she was not the second as well. Jeremy learned about the purchase when they were having lunch yesterday.
"Ryn~" Mika cried in hurt. How could Ryn do this to her? Has Ryn's love toward her lesser now?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
