Dreaming about favorite things, cherishing the past, people love these things. They talk about their past in a dreamy accent. Some people live in past and don't want to get out of their past but the past has changed and they have evolved but doesn't accept it.

"It's a Ferrari"
"A Ferrari! They gave you Ferrari on your graduation? No way " she said in a complete denial.
" I knew you won't believe that's why I brought it here."
"You brought it here!" She exclaimed. He just smiled.
The bus came and people start getting in it in few minutes bus stop was standing alone staring and waiting for new passengers to come. Both of them were left alone with that sad and alone bus stop.
"Where is it?" She looked around.
" Wait, let me bring it here. I just parked it a little farther." He went in opposite direction of Zoemah. She turned and watched him disappear in smog. She sighs
"Once again.... Me,nature and past. Why I'm always left alone with you? But it's okay I'm now habitual of this."
"Get in!" He stopped his Ferrari in front of her.
"No! Shouldn't you get out first?"
"Okay I'm getting out"
"Am I the first person to ride with you?" She asked.
"Yes!"
"Where your parents have gone?" She was bit ironic.
"My great mother said you ( pointing at Zoemah ) should be the first one to ride with me in this car and boom!... It will be lucky for me. That's what she thinks." He explained.
"And you agreed?"
"I didn't have another option. I have to and honestly I also want that." He winked.
"Smamah!"
" That enough Mrs.Smamah! Don't argue with me and get in." He intentionally said Mrs Smamah.
"Stop teasing me!"
He laughed,opened the gate and bowed "My lady"
"Stop this drama." She smiled and sat in the car. He bowed down towards window and look at her playfully.
" What does your parents gave you?"
"Appointment letter for job." She said coldly.
"What! That's ridiculous!"
" It's a fair gift and perfect I guess. Stop this useless discussion and set the sail"
"Aye aye captain!" He salute.
"Where are we going?"
"To the beach. It's quiet and peaceful that's why I chose it." he smiled.
He car was empty and both were sitting on the dashboard of car. The sea was waving at them and the sun was trying to hide in the sea.
"Zoemah! Can I ask you a thing?"
"Umhm!" She nodded. She was trying to keep her eyes on that drowning sun, drowning magnificently.
"Are you really happy with your family?"
" Of course! They are my family,my people why I won't be happy with them?" She turned her face towards him and gave him a satisfying smile.
"Smamah! Can I ask you something?"
"Anything!" Looks like he was waiting.
"When your mother told you that an assistant director's daughter is going to be your bride what was your reaction.? The question surprised him he looked at her,she was busy in spying the hiding sun.
"Well....I wasn't expecting this.." he took a deep breath "but if you ask I should answer. Honestly I thought mother had lost her mind your family status was indeed very low, we were the owners of business and your family were mere employees. Why on Earth mother had selected a bride for her son from the employee's family? and even their family wasn't working for us they belong to another firm. I was mad at everyone then I met you...."

"She went on a date" Mrs Swan answered.
"With whom your daughter is on date with?" Every passing moment was increasing his anger.
"With her fiance" She told her husband.
"Hadn't you gave her deadline?" He roared.
"I did " she replied.
"So where is she?" He burst out.
"I will call her"
"Get out of here and call her!"
Mrs Swan came out of study room her hand were shivering. She picked up her phone and dialed her number.

"...and honestly I ended up liking you and now I think I was an idiot,I was rejecting you, the most finest human in the......." Seems like he was going to praise her all day.
" Stop these lavish praise and thanks for being honest with me." She was serious.
"For your kind information these praises were not lavish!"
Zoemah's phone rang and her face went pale.
