For-Getting You

Chapter 55. The Engagement

Troy's POV

"You look great" patting my friend's shoulder I grab his attention,

He smiles timidly,

"What were you thinking? It's your engagement stop thinking about girls now or Mary will kill you" I know what's on his mind he is thinking about Erika he always wanted us to get engage on same day, but now she can't come back so it's better not to think about it,

Yeah I'm saying it the one whose everything has been stopped on that very moment, I can't come out from the deep hole of my past, I live in it and there's just darkness that's why I don't want anyone else to even look into it,

That's why I didn't say it to him or he'll be like if you think like that then move on and I can't do that,

"Now who's thinking" I chuckled at his words,

"Seriously brother I'm very happy for you finally you are giving Mary what she deserves she have waited a lot because of you" a genuine smile crept on my face.

"And I'm happy for you" his reply made me confused, Is he really happy with my engagement with Diana, I'm sure he is not "Don't bother your brain Troy I'm not talking about Diana, I'm happy for you because of Keira I can't explain how I felt hearing that you love her from you that little word is back on your mind on your mouth, it's back in your heart now I'm certain that it will seek it's way in your life I'm certain Troy" saying he gave me an hug, I hugged him back he is emotional soul and makes me one too,

"Now stop or people will think that you are my daughter" I chuckled "Now I'll go and check on my sister" he nod smiling.

I knock on the huge wooden door I have to admit that Erik's house is a masterpiece, I remember when the first time I visited here with Erik it was not this beautiful but after becoming capable the first thing he did was it's renovation, he really loves this place he is attached to it, my friend is also like me emotionally attached to few things and people strongly.

"Come in" Mary's voice comes behind the door someone can tell even from her voice how excited she is, she has whole right to, I can't imagine how they both will be in their marriage.

Pushing the door slowly I enter her room, Mary standing in front of mirror taking a selfie, seeing me she turns around her eyes wide in happiness.

"Wow look at you Mary I couldn't even recognize you" I joked giving an fake surprise expression,

Jokingly she slaps my arm "Let's see if you'll recognize her" what does she means,

"You look beautiful Mary"

"Thank You I know this red color always suits me" she says swaying her red ball gown,

I nod my hand rubs her head blessing her "This happiness suits you May God always keeps you this way" her small frame hugged me cutely.

"Thank You Troy I wish the same for you" her voice low she wipes off her tears "These will ruin my mascara" she babbles "Troy can you do one thing for me"

I don't know why but I feel it's something related to Keira,

"This is for Keira could you please go and give her this" see I was right.

"I think I look like a butler to you" I'm not falling in their trap now.

"Oh come on Troy please I could have gave her this myself but I need to see Erik please won't you do such a little thing for me" she makes a perfect puppy eyes she acts just like a kid.

Huffing I take the small velvet box from her hand as she squeals joyously hugging me "Thank You you are the best"

"I know" frowning I left her room.
