He sat up, eyes fixed on me, and challenged me with the question.

“I did not forget our agreement. The problem is my family has been pressuring me to get married due to my age. My parents are getting old, so I do not want them to worry for me anymore.”

“Okay. Agree. We’ll end our relationship when I get a boyfriend.”

I was relieved as that was a huge load off my mind. I fell asleep while thinking about how to get myself a decent man in the shortest time possible.
