No words came out of her mouth, this was the height, Lee was mad before, and now he is in rage, anger, and bitterness full his senses, to him, this is inhumanity to his princess and he is ready to spill fire.
Tell me, who the heck gave this order?
Father, I made a mistake and this is my punishment.
Interesting, your punishment, fine then but the truth is, you will not go back there.
Hon!
Not a word. Prime minister Lee stood, and Alexia grabbed his hand.
Father, please, tell me to do anything, anything but don't ask me to leave the military, ask for anything in return and I will gladly do it.
Then get married, get married to the person I want you to meet. Alexia's tears drop, she had never seen her father so mad, mad that he is not going to look at her tears or feel pity for her.
She felt rooted to the floor and thought she is helpless, not that, Beck love her, if all this haven't happened, her father wouldn't have gotten mad and wanted to push her into the hands of someone she doesn't love.
Damn Xander and Jessica! For the first time in months, she calls down evil for both of them if they were present her life would have been different, she will not have been in this situation.
Slowly her mother had walked to her, pick the scarf, and wrapped it around her head.
Stop crying already, the young man, is not all bad, you know him, he is no stranger to you, and try to understand your father, his love for you didn't depreciate, he is only trying to protect you.
How come I don't see it that way? He only doesn't trust my judgment anymore. Alexia's tears drop, and all Emily could do was hug her daughter.
The next day, by noon, Alexia groom to meet the man, who is supposed to be her date, Alexia didn't want to go and she thought of ways to make the young man, just disappeared, the only way, she could think of was to appear in front of him bare, that will stir him and make him tear without her having to say a word to him.
Although Alexia's mother had insisted she wears a veil to cover her head, she plays cunning, saying if he loves her, he will not see her bare head as something not worthy to behold his sight.
She planned all the scenes that the man will put up if he sees her like that, he is going to freak out.
Who is? I don't want to see her again, she is way too ugly. Her silly thought kept giving her the irritating face of the man, that she didn't know when she bump into Bernard.
Sorry, miss!
Gen Bernard!!! Alexis called smiling at him.
How are you? Whoa, you did open your shaved head, it's lovely, and it looks great on you.
You are trying to make me feel better.
Aren't you proud of your new look? Gen. Bernard asked he doesn't see any reason that the young lady will open her shaved hair if she is not proud of it but her expression show the opposite of her actions. If you are not proud of it, why did you open it?
The thing is, father wanted me to meet some dude that I have no idea of, I just wanted to irk him, my shaved hair will irritate him and he was going to scream and probably used the next available exit to get off my face and then I will go home without disobeying my father because he is the one that left not me.
Bernard looks at her, as she pulled his hand into the restaurant, the young man is short of words, he doesn't know what to say, he has no idea how this little thing he loves, brain work.
What do you think? It's a good idea, right? Alexia's voice pulled him from his thoughts, he looks at her confused. Don't tell me, you aren't paying attention to words.
Sorry, what did you say?
Never mind, what do you think the guy will do as soon as he sees my shaved her?
He will like you, you don't need the hair to look perfect, you are great with or without the hair, you are perfect, and your eyes, lips, and nose are probably placed on your face enough to make a man fall in love with you forever.
Alexia stared at him blankly, she didn't know what to reply to him, what if the man she is going to meet will feel the same about her as the Gen.
Hey kids, I see you've met each other and it seems like you two know each other. Alexia looks at the elderly woman and then at Gen Bernard.
What is going on? She asked.
Come on dear, my name is Mrs. Edgar, the mother of Bernard. She stretch out her hand, now he remembers the words of her mother that she know the person, she closed her eyes to push the thought from her head that person is no other person but Gen Bernard
Gen Bernard, are you one, I am to meet? She asked trying to convince herself that, he is not the one.
Do you two know each other? Mrs. Edgar's voice distracted her, she turned her gaze to look at her and then nodded.
Good then, I don't have to make an introduction, I am sure that, you two will...
Excuse me ma, can I talk to him alone, at least, you have make sure that we meet.
Sure dear, I will leave you two. She gave Alexia a small smile and then turned to her son. Son when you are done talking, you should bring the natural beauty princess home.
If it would have been another day and a different situation, Alexia will blush because these two had given her self-esteem unknowingly, for days she had been feeling down and avoiding Beck, because she thinks that, Beck must have hated her more because of her shaved hair and she is not bold enough to face him, and also due to the face that he had watched her dance shamelessly in front of those soldiers.
Was it my dad that talked you into this? That was Alexia's first words as soon as Mrs. Edgar disappeared through the exit door.
Gen Bernard's boldness flew right through the window, he doesn't even know where to start, he starts blankly at her.
Take me home. Alexia said as she walked out of the restaurant, Bernard held her wrist as he caught up with her.
