Velasco, Anmela Eris 10056

My tears flowed as I stared at my name.

I am finally a nurse! My long dream has come true!

Alem screamed and screamed as we both passed. I was just stunned as the tears streamed to my face.

Is this true? I passed? I really passed! My sleepless night, tiring days and all of my sacrifices paid off.

This is for my family, for myself and to our future family with Laurent as my husband.

“Congratulations, Baby Girl.”

I turned to the speaker and my tears flowed even more because he was holding a bunch of flowers. He was wearing a white polo long sleeve, tucked in black slacks and black shoes. His hair was fixed like superman. He had a big body with a handsome face that made everybody scream and thrilled by his features.

Sorry, Girls. He is mine.

I slowly stepped my feet going to him. In my third steps, my jaw almost dropped when behind him mom and dad came out. I covered my mouth and my tears dripped extremely.

I ran so fast and when I reached them, I hugged them so much.

“Congrats, Anmela.” They said as they hugged me tightly.

I looked at Laurent while I was embracing them. I opened my mouth to form a ‘Thank you’ speech to him without sound.

He has always given me surprises.

We were very happy while having a conversation with my mom and dad. They had so many questions and I answered them all with a smile. Laurent walked over to me. I looked at him with a radiating grin, showing him how happy I was to this day.

I used to think that I was crazy about my love for him, but I think he was more crazy in love with me because of all his efforts just to make me happy.

I could still remember him saying, ‘Don’t give your whole world to me.’ But to be honest, he was the one who gave his whole world to me.

Although I have not talked to her parents yet. I have not met them yet but I did not ask him about them. Obviously, he had his reason why he did not take me to his parents yet.

“Mom, you should eat more. I can do it by myself,” I said as I watched mom putting some food on my plate. He was like Laurent, pampering me.

We were in a restaurant now with mom, dad and Laurent. I said just brought us to a cheap restaurant, but he insisted so in the end we ate here.

“Son, eat a lot,” Dad brought food to Laurent’s plate. Laurent had a small smile on his lips as he watched him do that.

“Thank you for what you did for us, my child.” I thought my mother said that to me, but I was wrong, she was actually telling that to Laurent.

“It’s nothing. Just for you and Anmela,” he said with a smile.

“I can tell that Anmela is in the right man.” Dad had a spark of so much gratitude for Laurent.

From the start of our relationship, they were so proud of Laurent. Not because he was rich or what, but he was an amazing man. I never experienced mistreating since he became my boyfriend.

Yeah, he is a jealous man, but he does not hurt me ever since.

They were funny to watch because they got along together. They called him ‘son’ even though we were not yet married.

So proud of how Lauremt got the heart of my family.

“Please don’t think that it’s because of money why we want you with Anmela. We’re not thinking like that, we want you because you’re a good child.” I could see the sincerity in mom’s eyes as she spelled that out.

“I know that. I saw it,” Laurent replied with a spark of happiness. He glanced at me for a second and then continued. “Your daughter is like you. Even if I insist on buying a condo or other material things, in the end I will lose in the battle of giving her something because she prefers hard work first before getting what she wants. I observed that whatever she is doing, she needs to give all her sweat and blood… she is not depending on me, on others. She is a brave and independent woman.”

“I remember when I dragged her to the expensive restaurant. Actually, that was her invitation. She paid the bill even though it took all of her salary, then tomorrow, she just cooked eggs. I felt so bad for her.” Laurent chuckled a bit, he was so cute. “You know what? She didn’t borrow money from me. She sacrificed the whole month just because of eating in the restaurant-for giving me such a wonderful date.”

I looked at him in surprise with the tears welling up to the corner of my eyes.

He hates telling a story, but this time, he talked long and told the story that was not that meaningful to me. For Laurent, it was the best thing that I did for him.

I did not know that those positives were his thoughts to me. It was heartwarming to know that he could see the sincerity in my heart. He looked at me with proudness, not just to me, but to my parents who raised me, who molded me like this.

“I’m so proud of you, Anmela Eris.” Mom could not talk so well as she cried out. She grabbed a table napkin and wiped her tears. “We raised her as a good individual.”

“Me too. So proud of you, my daughter. Didn’t you know how much those words coming from Laurent made my heart happy.” Dad held my hand and pinched it in a gentle way. “You see, Laurent? She’s the only one here, but she managed to finish her study. She chose a kind hearted man like you. That made me proud of myself, too, by telling all of the good morals to Anmela. We can now die.”

“Dad!” I was holding my tears back. I stood up and hugged them both.

“We are thankful to you, Laurent. You’re always with her. It’s nice that she has someone to be with when she’s alone.” Dad showed Laurent how he was thanking him by giving him food again.

“If you only knew, a day doesn’t end without me seeing her,” Laurent said enthusiastically.

“When do you plan to get married?” Dad asked while sipping an orange juice.

Suddenly, I saw Laurent’s stunned expression. It seemed like he drowned in deep thoughts. I was scared of his actions because I did not know the reason why I suddenly saw the fear in his eyes. I saw him swallow a few times and it took a while before he spoke again.

“We haven’t talked yet,” he replied, having difficulty in his throat.

What changed his mood?

The shiver crept into my chest. I remembered what Lauressa and Resttan had said before about something I would never understand. I wanted to push that aside but I think it was too important.

Something about family.

I could feel my heart beating fast because after that question Laurent’s emotions seemed to change. He became quiet and seemed to be swimming in deep thought. I wanted to ask but I was afraid of his answer.

Is he already married? That is why he’s so scared to marry me?

Something scary.
