Episode 5?
? Elena’s POV ?
Today’s a good day for me, I made a very handsome amount of money, my aunt will be so happy. Right now, I’m taking a walk with Harry.
I turn back and see his friend walking about ten feet from us, and he’s busy looking around cautiously.
I nudge Harry slightly and he gave his attention to me.
“Why is your friend always serious?” I asked.
He turns to look at his friend, then back to me.
“I don’t know either” he answered.
“Is he always with you? Everytime I see you he’s with you, why is it like that?” I asked.
“Well, that’s because he’s my apprentice. He learns plumbing from me”
I nod what he said makes sense.
My eyes unconsciously glance at his clothing, if he is a plumber how can he afford this kind of clothes? These clothes are expensive.
“Harry, you said you are a plumber, correct?” He nods. “Then why don’t you look like one?”
“I’m not sure I get what you mean” he said.
“Plumbers don’t dress the way you do. The clothes you wear scream money”
He clears his throat, then smile.
“Well, you can say I’m living fine, since I work for royals and other rich people. The money I make is quite enough to provide me with anything I want” he explained.
He’s right. Since he works for the rich, I suppose he’d be kinda rich too.
We arrive at a park. I stopped and points to bench.
“We should sit here for a while” I said.
“Ok”
We sit down and watch the kids as they play and jump excitedly. Seeing them so happy like this, takes me back to the memory lane.
I remember when my parents will bring me to parks on every birthday and Christmas, we’d play, go on slides, swings and merry go round, and even ride on the ferris wheel.
I feel Harry tap my shoulder. I looked at him with a small smile.
“What are you thinking?” He asks.
I sigh.
“You know, I used to love having fun like this when I was a kid, even more than some kids here. Every time we come to the park, my dad will let us ride on all the toys, but he wouldn’t let us ride on the ferris wheel. Cause he’s scared of heights” I paused and burst out laughing.
Harry just stays silent and laugh at my joke.
“My mom and I used to threaten him that we’re gonna fall off and he’ll be like, ‘stop, come down. I swear I’m never gonna let you get in that thing’ and he’ll start having head ache from all the screaming” I said.
” So.. did he really stopped you from riding the wheel?” Harry asked.
I shake my head.
“No. Because even though he hates the wheel, it’s still my favorite. He’d let me go on it just to make me happy” I said.
Then we stayed silent. I don’t know why I even told Harry about that, but I feel happy sharing that memory with him.
Harry clears his throat and face me.
“Elena, you are in the right age for marriage. Don’t you think of it some times?”
I looked at him strangely. Why would he suddenly ask me about marriage?.
Marriage is not on my agenda right now.
But if it’s with Harry, I swear I’ll marry without any regrets.
Wait…. I take that back. Why will even think of marrying Harry, a guy like him is so out of my league.
Harry is handsome, and even though I like him, I shouldn’t dream of marrying him, because that would never happen.
“Marriage is far from my thoughts now” I said.
“Why? Don’t you wanna have a family of your own? And have little Elenas running around you?” He asked wagging his brows.
I smiled at the thought, it’s a cute scene.
“I do wanna get married and have my own family. But look at me, who’d want to marry me?”
“I don’t understand” he furrows his brows.
” I’m not classy, I’m not beautiful and sxy, and most of all I’m beyond poor. So who’d be mad to marry me?”
“Me” he said.
My heart skip when I hear him say that. I look at him as if he’s lost his mind, or maybe he didn’t hear what I ask him properly.
“What? You have bad taste in women then” I said.
He takes my hand in his and ksses my knuckles.
“Quite the contrary. I have very good taste in women. Elena, you might think you’re ugly, but I tell you. You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, I like women like you who doesn’t chase after money. I’d kill to marry you, I’d do anything to have you by my side”
My heart beat increase. I know I like him, no, I love him at first sight.
But I didn’t expect him to say things like this so early in our friendship.
He must be joking.
I quickly remove my hand from his and chuckles nervously.
“Harry, let’s not talk about marriage. We don’t know each other that well, and besides marriage is not something we can joke about” I told him.
He stays silent then a very large grin appears on his face.
“How about you come to my grandma’s birthday party and sing for her, then I can introduce you to everyone in my family” he said.
I gasped loudly.
” Harry, marriage is between two people that love each. And besides you haven’t even court me yet”
He smiles.
” That’s what I’ve been doing for the past few days, I’ve been courting and getting to know you better. And believe me I know everything I need to know already. Also there’s a saying, you know what you want when you see it”
Marriage? I’ll have to talk to my aunt about this.
” So are you coming with me to my grandma’s birthday party?”
“Are you gonna pay me for my service?” I asked.
” Yes, definitely”
When money is involved, I’m involved.
“I’m in!” I said.
