Engagement Ceremony

"David Carter? He's so famous but how come I never heard of him?.... Well, it's normal though. But now I'm more surprised why does he wanna marry me?.... Agghh,my head...",Luna is reading the file and talking on her own.

"Why she's making this face?..... So now you know who I am.",says David.

"Huh?", looking up she sees David is looking at her. "He's looking so damn attractive... Godly handsome...."

"....",David keeps looking at Luna. His eyes stops at her only.

"Yeah...",says Luna looking at his eyes.

"She's looking stunningly gorgeous....",David says.

"Mr. David?.... Is something wrong? Am I not looking good?",she asks getting nervous as he's looking at her.

(Coughing)

"No it's ok. You're looking not so bad. Don't need to be worried. Let's go.", saying so he asks for her hand.

"...",she stares at him. Holding his hand she feels like she's less nervous now.

"But Mr David where are we going now?",she asks.

"At a party... But remember if something happens there that you'll be nervous at then you don't need to be nervous at all. I'm with you ok?",says David.

"Umm,ok. Mr. David.",says she.

"Wait, you're gonna call me Mr. David?",says he.

"Umm yeah. Or I don't know what to call you. Mr. David is...",she says.

"Call me David!",he says.

"Huh?",she looks at him.

"Let's go.",he holds her hand tightly.

Luna never felt this way for anyone else before. Not even for her ex Andrew but she doesn't know why it's happening.

Going to the party hall Luna sees everything is well decorated. It seems like a royal family's gonna have some announcement later.

"Wow who's this man? He's looking so handsome... Seems it's her girlfriend. She's so gorgeous... Who are they... See the girl is looking so pretty.... He's so attractive....", people are talking about them.

Though Luna is a bit nervous but David is with her, holding her hand. She's looking at him.

"Oh you're here my son.",says Bane Carter.

"Hi Mr. Bane Carter.",says David still holding Luna's hand.

"Who's this girl with you? Don't spoil today's event. It's your engagement.",says Mr. Bane.

David smiles devilishly. "Ofcourse it's my engagement. Don't worry I won't spoil it nor I'll let anybody spoil my engagement.",says David.

"..... Then why you're holding her hand?",Bane Carter asks.

"His engagement? What does he mean?...",Luna thinks in her mind.

"Hello David. You're here. Nice to meet you.",says Mr. Jones.

"Hi Mr. Jones. Nice to meet you too.",says David.

Luna can't understand what is going on. What David is trying to do.

Helena also comes there but looking at Luna she became furious but because of David she can't say something but deep down she's damn jealous.

"Who's she? David.",Mr. Jones asks.

"It's... She's his secretary.", before David could say something Mr. Bane says.

David looks at him angrily but holds onto his rage as he has better plan for him.

"Ohh I see.",says Mr. Jones.

"His secretary?",Luna tries to move away,to go away from him.

But holding her hand more tightly he says,"Luna look at me!"

"Mr. David. Congrats but I think when you're gonna engaged with someone else you shouldn't hold onto another girl.",says Luna.

"Luna wait for me.",says David looking at her eyes.

Getting a call he says,"Is everything ready?"

"Yes Boss. Now let's see who's gonna create problems in your engagement.",says Sydney who's standing at a distant.

"Ok.",says David.

Helena smiles looking at Luna thinking that she won. She thinks that as David came here so he won't be able to do something even though he wants. She thinks David will listen to Bane Carter.

David tells Sydney to start in a gesture. Mrs. Carter is looking at Bane Carter though she didn't agree at the first time but Mr. Jones said he'll sign the buisness deal only when David will agree to marry Helena so Mrs. Carter's nail got broken at the first before it could attack on others.

"Ladies and gentlemen we're greatful that you all came here tonight..... Now the engagement ceremony will start.", everybody starts to applause.

Luna is looking at David from a distant. Mr. Bane can't wait for the engagement as once he'll put the ring on Helena's hand then there won't be a way that he'll be able to decline the fact.

But the spotlight falls on Luna and in the light she's looking like a goddess. Everybody is stunned.

David goes to her and holding her hand he puts the ring on her finger. Luna looks at him as she's shocked but also happy.

She can't understand how to react now. Everybody is looking at them, waiting for her to put the ring on David's finger.

"Now your turn.",says David.

Sydney is standing besides them. Luna takes the ring and puts it oh his finger. Everybody claps,the party hall is in chaos.

David kisses on Luna's forehead infront of everyone. Luna can't believe that she's engaged now, she's committed to him. According to their deal nobody would know about their marriage,Luna felt quite sad  because even though it's a contract marriage but they'll be legally wife and husband. 

"Congratulations you two.",says Sydney. Luna smiles.

But there are some people who are looking at them with extreme jealousy and anger.

"Thanks to everyone for attending my engagement ceremony. Please enjoy.",says David to everyone present in the party hall.

"What is this? Mr. Bane. You've lied to us, you've insulted us inviting here tonight. I'll never forget this insult. You'll regret it later.",Mr. Jones leaves the party hall along with his wife and his daughter.

Going to David Mr. Bane says,"So it was all your planning? You've insulted your Dad and your family!!! How could you?"

"....",David stays silent. He doesn't think it's important to answer of those questions.
