“So this is Julian, The Julian, the man that has won my daughter’s heart and finally made her believe what I have spent years trying to convince her. That she is beautiful.”
“Mom!”
“Just saying thank you to the boy.”
She hugs Julian. And he smiles awkwardly at her.
“Dad” I go to him and give him a big hug, I’ve missed them so much, and a tear escapes
“Is that my daughter, my Malaya. I mean I know it’s been more than a year,but the change. No jeans, No hoodie. You look beautiful”
Julian shakes my dad’s hand, and my Dad gives him a stern look. I laugh, because my dad is normally a big cuddly bear.
We make our way inside the house.
For the next few days, we are extremely busy, preparing for the wedding that would be taking place. My sister and brother come by as well, everyone is really excited. My family loves Julian
My sister and mom tell me that I am so lucky, because he is such a gentleman. And they both have told me that from just watching him and the way he looks at me. That they can see that the guy really loves me.
That is such a good reassurance because I really worry that I’m not good enough for him, and maybe he sees that, but turns out that the guy is really blind, either that, or he just doesn’t care that he settles for mediocre when he could have gotten way better.
