"One Cheeseburger, one Lasagna, one Caesar Salad and . . . Violet what's yours?"

"Tuna Sandwich with additional Tuna Salad . Thanks a lot Thea, I'll go look for a table" said Violet making her way out from the queue while scrolling through her phone . Dressed in her Trench coat with a floral dress underneath, sporting a ponytail and black wedge heels .

"Violet! Girl I'm so hungry . We really should have a farewell party for you today" said by a girl dressed in black short skirt, red high heels, and red hoodie . She came up to and walked by Violet's side

"Nah it's ok Melody, at least I get to have our last meal together here at the Food Hall . Oops sorry . This place is always so full . I hope this never change" Violet accidentally b.u.mped onto someone .

"We'll miss you! Really! Won't you stay just for one day?" Melody reached and pulled Violet's arm .

"I really can't, sorry Melody . There's one table free by the window . C'mon!" Violet dragged Melody to the table .

"Girls here's our food! Really Violet, can't you extend for one day? I mean tomorrow's our graduation and you're missing out . What's so important that you have to rush back home?" Thea placed their orders .

"I actually don't know much, my family's going to an important event and my dad wants all of us to attend . And besides, I'm the only one here and my family won't be able to attend in my graduation anyways . My siblings overseas are already on their flight home as we speak . Here read this . " After Violet pa.s.sed her phone, she carefully inserted the Tuna Salad in her Sandwich . And ate with much delight .

"What's this Violet? (Clears throat) 'My Dearest Prettiest Baby Girl, Mommy and Daddy wants to apologize for not being able to attend your graduation . And Daddy would like to ask you to head back home tonight, I've already booked your flight . Daddy will make it up to you . There's a very important event that we have to attend to . It's really important baby girl . Please for Daddy? Daddy misses you so much and also mommy too . See you soonest my treasure . With Lots of love and joy, The Best Dad in the whole world . ' Wow . Your Dad is as mushy and clingy as ever" Melody read the message aloud .

"Really? Is that really it? We've known each other for years . And I know you like the back of my hand" Thea mockingly poke Violet's stuffed cheeks .

"I side with Thea! Girl! We know you! The only reason that's even more important for you is that your dying to see that boyfriend of yours back home" snickered Melody .

"No-not re-really" stammered Violet .

"As if, ever since he left here 6 months ago to go back home I know you've been itching to follow . And now you have a reason to . Are you finally making it official? Are you introducing him to the family?" said Thea without stopping and breathing .

"Yeah and what's up with you guys? Why all the secrecy? Why hide your relations.h.i.+p?" Melody inquired .

"I give up, can't really escape from you guys . Sighhh . I really do miss him . We rarely talk this past 3 months . Especially this month, I only get to talk to him once a week . Not just because of the time difference, he's too busy and I'm busy . He took over their family's business . We seem to have difficulty in finding each other free time . Long-distance relations.h.i.+p is so hard" Violet lamented .

"Really? You had it hard girl . But why did you guys hid your relations.h.i.+p? I implore you to answer since you're leaving us here hahaha" Thea pointed to Violet .

"Um . . well . . how do I say this . . . You know how my family can be protective"

"They're over the top" Melody interjected .

"Yeah . . . . well yeah . My Dad and brothers forbade me from dating or else they'll kill him . I know they're joking but they'll definitely won't stop at being mischievous . You how annoying my brothers are . And as for him, he wanted to introduce me personally to his family first" dejectedly said to the two .
