Mr. Smith got up from his chair and raised his glass in the air together with Mr. Lopez as both of them clank their glasses together, cheering with extreme joy, "Congratulations to the new couple for the new step in their committed life.."
The rests also clanked their glasses and shouted together, "Congratulations to the new couple.."
While everyone one was busy congratulating them, Reuben was smiling widely like a idiot whereas Veronica was utterly embarrassed and shy because of their parents' overexcitement..
"Are you being shy now honey?" Reuben whispered in her ears seeing her red cheeks.
"Shut up Bennie.." Veronica glared at him making Reuben chuckle.
Now again started the show off about their children by the parents as Mr. Smith said, "Look our daughter and son are so much happy with each other. They are so compatible and cute.."
Mr. Lopez also joined him, "Yes.. Look how affectionate they are towards each other. They are such a romantic and lovely couple."
As they were having a overactive drama, Henry's father couldn't bear the torment of his friends who were keeping on boasting about their children as he suddenly spoke, "Henry, when are you bringing a sweet daughter in law for our family?"
Henry was having some drinks when his father asked him such a question, so he couldn't do anything with the sudden blurt up but choke on his own drink, coughing like a crazy..
"Uncle.. I think Henry already found a daughter in law for you. Isn't it right Henry?" Reuben asked him in a teasing manner.
Henry glared at him and told him to close his mouth, "Shut up, you fool!! Otherwise I'll kill you..."
Whereas Reuben didn't give a damn to his threat and smirked mischievously whereas Veronica just shook her head at her boyfriend's craziness..
"Really son? Did you really find the girl of your dreams?" Henry's mother asked excitedly.
Louis who was sitting beside him , mumbled in his ears, "Bro it's the only time you could reveal about relationship without stammering as all are very much happy about my bro.. So just spill it. Just remember one thing.. NOW OR NEVER.."
Lucinda also looked at Henry and held his hand in her own. Henry turned his face to her and said in a very gentle yet comforting voice, "Lucy... Don't listen to his rubbish. I know you're still not ready to reveal about us. If you need some more time, I'll wait. Don't worry."
Feeling very lucky to get such an awesome man who cared for her, Lucinda smiled and replied, "I also want to let our parents know about us Henry. And today is the best time for it."
Henry was jumping in joy inside his heart that his love was ready to accept the relationship to their parents and other elders who were also very close to them, so he quickly squeezed her hands with his before giving her a breathtaking smile.
All the youngsters were looking at them and when they felt their gaze, they glanced at them and in return all of them gave them an assuring smile to let them know that whatever the couple would decide, they would be always with them like a supporting system..
Returning the smile towards their friends, Henry asked in a low voice, "Are you ready babe?"
Lucinda just nodded her head in acceptance and both of them stood up suddenly from their seats making all the elders gaze at them with a questioning expression..
"Mom.. Dad.. we want to say something to you." Henry announced with a firm voice but he was literally shivering from inside out of nervousness..
Same was happening to Lucinda as her hands were sweating very much but she had full trust in her boyfriend.
"What is it Henry? Is anything serious?" Lucinda's father asked becoming a little suspicious as he saw that alongside Henry, his precious daughter had also stood up with him..
Lucinda didn't reply her father and took a deep breath to calm her nerves and finally getting the confidence she did such an unpredicted action that even the youngsters also looked at her with widened eyes….
But what had she done??
Well, Lucinda just intertwined her fingers with Henry's fingers under the table very tightly and within a fraction of second, she raised their joined hands into the air in front of everyone and declared, "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunty… We are dating.."
A loud gasp left from everyone's mouth because that was very much uncertain to them to believe..
Even Henry was also completely dumbstrucked at her bold behavior...
"Are you serious?" Henry's father asked coming out of the shock.
Henry looked at his father with a smile on his face when Louis nudged him in his waist to break him out from his trance and said, "Yes Dad. We're serious. She is my girlfriend and your soon to be daughter-in-law.."
Mr. Wilson just kept staring at his daughter in rage and barked out loudly, "How could you betray me like this Lucy? I have always loved you like the most precious gem of mine.. And you are giving me this hypocrisy in return?"
Lucinda was completely shocked with the sudden outburst of her father and tears started to stream down from her eyes when she heard her father's hurtful words, "Dad.. I wanted to tell…"
"Stop it Lucinda. I don't want to hear anything from you." Lucinda's father shouted angrily, making everyone present there to get surprised because of his furious action as he never had shouted on anyone specially when it was his own daughter..
"Dad... Please listen to me." Lucinda pleaded as more tears came out from her eyes as Henry hugged her by her shoulder.
"Uncle, if you have to scold someone then I'm here. Don't yell at her please. It's not her fault at all. We just fell in love eventually. Please Uncle, don't shout on her. I can't bear to see her tears." Henry said with a stern face but still in a pleading tone..
Neil was watching everything from the start but hadn't made any noise or comment until then and enjoyed the show that was playing in front of him..
But when he saw that everything was going overboard, he stood up from his chair and said in a bored yet dominating voice, " Dad.. It's already enough. Now stop your overacting.."
