The engagement affair part 5....... 18+

Emelia stepped out of the train and onto the platform.
All through the journey she had sulked. Why should she
care about someone she didn’t even KNOW? Not to talk
of even marrying him? Their damn tradition could go to
blazes for all she cared. She had decided long ago she
wasn’t going to go along with it. She had Oleg and no
one and no stupid tradition could take what they had
away. Who was this Nataniel anyway? Well, she was
going to find out in a few hours.
She walked out of the station and looked around for her
sister. Oleg had been quite unhappy when he heard she
was going to meet this Nataniel guy. She had had a
tough time convincing him that all she was going to do
was tell him off and make it known to her dad and step
mum she wasn’t going to marry him. What she and Oleg
had was too precious to lose over some dumb tradition.
In fact, she had invited him to come along but he
couldn’t make it. They had a plan for him to show up
sometimes later in the week. That at least made him a
bit happier.
Sofia saw her sister walking out of the station. She
immediately beeped her horn twice, flashing her
headlights to get her attention. Emelia dragged her box
and plopped it into the trunk. She opened the door and
sat down beside her sister with a huff.
“So how are you?” Sofia asked her as they pulled into
traffic.
“I’m fine.” Emelia grumbled, staring out of the window.
“Your husband arrived yesterday.”
“He’s not my husband.”
“Look Emelia, we’ve been through this several times
already.” Sofia said gently. “I know how you feel. I felt
the same way during my time, but I later learned to love
him.”
“And where has that gotten you right now?” Emelia
asked dryly.
Sofia winced, but kept her composure. “Look, all I’m
saying is give the guy a chance. He’s a nice kid.”
“Oh really? If he’s such a nice kid why not keep him for
yourself? You’re the one who needs a man in her life
right now, don’t you?”
Sofia disregarded the insult. She focused on the road
ahead of her.
