CHAPTER 4
*Azzy Smith*
I really didn’t know that Nygel would personally prepare this wedding. I mean I have seen this thing on the movies and read some books, but the guys are usually just tell his servants that he is getting married with a poor girl and then the next thing you know everything is ready.
Nygel was different. He is there in every preparation of this wedding always with me, and holding my hand. Well I kind of like it, but reality always sinks in, That Nygel will marry me because he needs me, not because he loves me.
As I walk downstairs I saw some people with tape measures, I guess these are the designers. They are measuring Jeremy. He's trying to behave well, so cute.
"Mr.----" Jeremy stopped when he saw Nygel's face trying to say not to call him Mr. "I mean ..big Nygel.." Nygel laugh with what Jeremy said. "Why are they tickling me.?" Jeremy said while being ticklish.
"They are not tickling you, they are getting your measurement so that they can make a new suit for our wedding." Nygel explain.
"Why? I still have my suit that I wore in the orphanage, I can still use it." Nygel looked at me and then turn to Jeremy.
"AAhh Jeremy you are not an orphan anymore. How will I say this, you will be living with me from now on." He said.
Jeremy's eyes widen. "Really?!! I can use the swimming pool every day?!
"hahaha yes you can."
"I can play with Jaggy every day?"
"..haha yeah sure." Jeremy changed jaguar's name into jaggy.
After taking the measurements the designers left. I cooked some brunch for them; well I have been learning to cook from Mrs. Johnson. She is really nice and she TALKS! Finally I can talk to someone.
They were still in the living room when I went out side. I saw a car went in. but it wasn't Nygel's. 'Maybe he bought a new car.' I thought. A big person went out and ran to the opposite side to open the door.
A man went out he was like something prominent, I guess. Then a beautiful and elegant woman went out next. They were like in their 40's but thinking that they are rich, maybe they had buttocks,..hmm around 50's.
I was still in my pajamas when they looked at me and asked me. "Where is Nygel?" They thought I was a maid, well yeah but that was before. Before I could answer them, Mr. Jonhson hurriedly went out and said.
"Good morning Sir, Madam." He bowed his head while greeting them. I'm still behind them.
"Where is that son of mine, making decisions on his own!" The man said, he seemed angry.
What did he say? 'SON’? These people are Nygel's parents? Oh my gosh. Mr. Johnson motioned me from behind to get change quickly before they notice me.
*Nygel Del Fierro*
I saw Azzy sneaking behind the kitchen door. When she saw me she looked relief.
"Your parents are here." She said almost whispering.
I peaked outside the living room, I saw my dad talking to Mr. Johnson impatiently looking for me. I rolled my eyes and talked to Azzy.
"Ok go get change." She nodded and hurriedly went upstairs. As I went to the living room. My mom greeted me with a hug and a smile.
"My son, how have you been?"
I didn't have the chance to answer back at her because of my dad.
"What is this?" He drops the news paper and the front page was me being married, Thank God Azzy's picture is not there.
"As you can see, I'm getting married."
"And who is this girl that your marrying?" He raised his eyebrow.
"She's coming just wait for ---" I looked behind and Azzy was there, wearing the casual dress that I bought her. She looks perfect. "Meet my fiancé, Azhmaria Smith." I held her hand, and it was cold. She's nervous.
“Hi honey." My mom greeted her with a smile and a kiss to her cheek. My mom has always been supportive of my decisions.
What is your family back ground?" My dad interrupted.
*Azzy Smith*
Nygel's dad is scary. There’s a long pause and before I got the chance to answer him, Jeremy was there running towards me.
"Look look I got three stars from my teacher." he said while showing us the paper with three stars. He noticed that there are other people in the house. He got quiet.
"Oh so you got her pregnant? How much do you need just to get away from my son? Name your price." Nyge's dad said while pulling out a check from his jacket. I felt so small and being insulted like this in front of him, I feel like crying.
"She is not pregnant; this is her little brother Jeremy." Nygel defended me." Jeremy come here, and greet them." He pulled Jeremy from my back in front of his parents.
"Good afternoon sir and madam." Jeremy said. His mom smiled at Jeremy and greeted him too. Except for his father.
"We are getting married because I Love her." Nygel looked at me, It felt like his words are true.
"This is bullshit Nygel! Why all of a sudden? How about Alexis?" His dad said almost shouting. I saw Jeremy jumps when he heard Nygel's dad.
"I didn’t like her dad; you’re the only one who wants me and her to be together."
“Honey please let Nygel decide on this." His mom defended him.
“Really? Do you really think I would fall for your act? How about those other ladies that have been with? " he said to Nygel. He looked at me and went towards me."How Old are you?"
"I'm turning 19 this June 8 sir."
"What?! 18? Are you sure you’re going to marry that early! And with this son of mine who is well known of being a womanizer. Are you going to sacrifice your future for his game?"
I was shocked at this revelation. I looked at Nygel, He didn’t looked at me back.
I took and deep breathe. "I think you’re talking about a different person sir." Now all eyes are set to me, Even Nygel and Mr. Johnson. "When I met your son, I admit we are so different from each other, and we just don't click." I looked at Nygel, now he was looking at me. "But when I get know him better, I saw a different man." He smiled at me. I looked back at Nygel's dad. "He took me and my brother in. The time that I was here, I never heard anything from the people here that he is like what you think he is."
"Maybe you’re just being weak now that's why you hang around him. You don't know him that much."
"I think you’re the one who doesn't know your son." He's eyes got big like he was going to be mad. "Did you know what your son’s favorite food is?" He didn't answer me. “He likes omelette in the morning, he likes eating every meals with other people. He enjoys playing with Jaguar. He likes to tease a lot." I smiled remembering the things that we did. “He tries he's hardest to go shopping, when I know that he doesn’t do those things. So I think we are talking about two different persons here."
He's dad got speechless with my answer. I can't believe I just did that. I can feel the stare of Nygel, I saw his beautiful smile again. I think that I just did the right thing. He's mom broke the silence.
"Okay, so Azzy...right? Welcome to the family." She hugged me and I felt her warmth. She whispered. "Good job I haven’t seen my husband speechless before." Then she hugged my brother.
"I'll accept you on one condition." His dad said.
"Dad please." Nygel begged. He looked at Nygel to stop him.
"If you really love my son,.." There's a big pause. “You have to deal with all the events of our family and company, you have to the things that we do."
"I will sir." That was all I can say and they left.
*Nygel Del Fierro*
I can't believe Azzy just did that. She is one brave girl that can talk to my dad like that. She just remembered everything that I thought she wouldn’t notice. We all sat at the couch feeling of relief that my parents left. I sat beside Azzy and looked at her. I was surprised when I saw her crying.
"Why are crying?"
"Your dad is so scary...huhuhuhuhu" She sobbed so cute; I wrapped her around my arms to calm her down.
"It's alright, you did great.....Thanks." She stopped and looked at me; she was so near to my face.
"Why?"
"Because of what you just said about me, I know your just acting, and you’re really good."
I saw her expression changed and swayed me away from her. Is she mad? What did I do? I just thanked her. Ahhh girls. Then she went to her room, and shut the door close. Is this her day of the month? I just left my mind hanging with that though.
