It'll Come Naturally

Leena looked up in surprise, trapped in his words. No second chance? She planned to stall for time, but maybe she should re-think it.

The afternoon sunshine streamed in through fluttering leaves and touched Kevin's face. He looked even more dazzling in the radiant sunlight. He leaned back against the tree in silence, his cold eyes fastened on Leena's tightly furrowed little face. He waited for her final answer.

"OK. If I don't show up that day, that means my answer is no. But If I do show up, we can be married, and I get all the freedom you promised." Leena wasn't like other girls, who wanted a blissful married life. Instead what she wanted was what most people wouldn't care about or even disdained: freedom.

"You have my word on that." Kevin had no idea if she would come or not, but he granted her request without hesitation.

These two clinched a deal about their marriage in such a short time. Daisy would never have guessed it but when she saw them after work, she could sense there was something odd between them.

"What happened between you two?" Daisy asked as soon as they got into the car. She wasn't the gossiping type and just asked this out of concern. The looks on their faces were too weird.

Sis, whose car is this?" Leena tried to change the subject. She didn't mean to hide anything. She just didn't know how to explain this. And if sis knew it, Edward was going to find out. Soon after that Mr. Cold would get wind
