While everyone was eating, Myna decided to bring up the thought she shared with Eleanor earlier.
"So Girls, I am thinking to go on a trip tomorrow morning and enjoy ourselves till new year's day. What do you think?" Myna said.
"No!"
"No!"
Nathaira and Tiffany said in unison.
"Why?" Myna asked feeling dismayed.
"Mason is always sticking to me these days. If I go, he would follow me," Tiffany said like a lost puppy.
"I will be celebrating my first Christmas and New year with Oliver after getting into a relationship. I don't want to miss him," Nathaira said. Something lit in Myna's head when she heard Nathaira's words.
"That reminds me this is my first Christmas and New year with Valene too," Myna said as she took a big scoop into her mouth. She became sullen all of a sudden and felt that food turned tasteless.
Suddenly, a bulb lit in her head. "How about we all go to an island along with our respective partners. Even if you don't have partners it's fine. Or we can go to resorts and enjoy ourselves there," Myna said.
"That's a good idea," Nathaira said as she ate a broccoli piece.
"Indeed," Tiffany said.
"I will ask Oliver right now. But where shall we go?" Nathaira asked.
"Island?" Eleanor said.
"You are pregnant if there is an emergency we need to be able to reach the hospital," Nathaira said with worry.
"There are two doctors with us," Eleanor defended.
"If you want we can plan another trip after you gave birth. But right now, let's go to resorts." Myna said in support of Nathaira.
"But still… you and Tiffany are doctors," Eleanor said with a pout.
"We are true. But we are not gynecologists," Tiffany said.
"If you want we can go to one of yours, or Parkinson's or we can go to Arrowglen and enjoy the luxuries of Nathaira's boyfriend," Tiffany suggested.
"Yesh! We will go to Arrowglen and enjoy it there. Let's not limit ourselves to resorts but we will go everywhere. Nathaira would be our guide. What do you say, girls?" Myna asked like an excited kid.
"That is good too. This way… Nathaira won't have to worry about skipping the meeting with Oliver's parents. Oliver doesn't need to be disappointed further. Hey! Wait! I heard Oliver met your family. Are you keeping secrets with us?" Eleanor asked with a raised brow.
Nathaira blushed at Eleanor's words. "He met but it isn't official yet. We will marry when both families meet each other," Nathaira said forgetting the fact that she was giving out the information.
"Woah!" Myna, Tiffany, and Eleanor squealed when they heard Nathaira's words.
"So, you both went ahead and are having a wedding. Wow," Myna said.
"Myna, I think tonight's bill should be on Nathaira's head," Tiffany said.
"Nope! When she has a boyfriend, Why shall she pay? Let's call him. He will come and pay," Eleanor said.
"Guys! I just remembered, Oliver dropped her. If I am right, he must be waiting for her somewhere near," Tiffany said.
"That makes the job easier," Eleanor said.
"Hey! I will pay for this meal. Why do you need to bother my Man," Nathaira said as she blushed. She liked them teasing her like this but she didn't say it out.
[So, this is like how it feels to have a friend.] she thought.
"Okay, Guys, Let's not tease the poor girl anymore. Talk to your partners and let them know about our plans. We don't have time if we are leaving tomorrow. We have to pack and tell our families and make your men agree to it. After your men are known for workaholics," Eleanor said.
Nathaira nodded her head and took her phone out. "Myna, call Mason too," Eleanor said with a wink making her blush.
"Aww… someone is blushing," Nathaira said as she joined Eleanor in teasing Tiffany.
"Ayya, I need to capture it capture this and make an album for her wedding with Mason," Myna said.
Before Tiffany could react to her words, Myna already took a snap of Tiffany's expression.
"If you get Mason into our trip, I will delete that," Myna said.
"Tiffany, I will delete that for you. You call Mason. And Myna… you call Valene," Eleanor said.
Tiffany nodded her head and took her phone out to call Mason. And Myna decided to call Valene.
While Nathaira already called Oliver.
"Hello, Oliver," Nathaira said.
Before Oliver could respond, Eleanor snatched her phone.
"Hello! Mr. Oliver, there is an emergency! Please come to our right away, if you Love Nathaira," Eleanor said and Switched off Nathaira's phone.
"What the hell!?! Eleanor!?! Why are you making him anxious!?" Nathaira asked who was still in shock at the turn of events.
Meanwhile…
Oliver decided to have his dinner in the same restaurant and wait for Nathaira after strolling around the streets aimlessly. Just then Nathaira's call came. Before could reply, he heard Eleanor's voice. His face was covered with gentle features along with a pleasant smile. But before he could say something or greet her, he heard her saying something serious. Hearing Eleanor's voice, he realized something was wrong with Nathaira. Did something happen to her?
Ahh… god! He just ran inside without minding others' stares. Opening the door for their private room with a bang, he saw Nathaira was having an unpleasant expression. Walking towards her, he pulled her into his arms
"Did something happen to you, baby?" Oliver asked with a concerned expression.
"Nothing, Happened to her. We realized she cheated us by keeping secrets!" Eleanor said as she started her million-dollar act. Myna got the hint and acted along with her.
"Yes! She cheated us on our first meet! Hmph!" Myna said as she huffed and turned her head to the side.
"What the hell did she do?" Oliver asked feeling anxious. He was happy when Nathaira said she was invited by Myna, Eleanor, and Tiffany to the dinner. She almost danced in joy saying that she was going to make friends. Now… these people were saying something that made him worry. He doesn't want Nathaira to be disappointed and sad.
"She hid the fact that you both are going to get married after meeting your parents in Arrowglen!" Eleanor said with an exaggerated expression.
"What!?" Oliver asked with a shocked expression. He thought something big has happened but this is so silly.
"Yeah! How could she do that? When we asked her to call you to pay the bill for tonight's meal as compensation. She already started acting like a dutiful wife. She even said we are spending your money. How could she do that?!" Myna said.
"So, what do I need to do to compensate you all and reform your union?" Oliver asked in a gentle tone.
"Now, I know why Nathaira fell for you!" Eleanor said with stars in her eyes. For some reason, she felt like she and Oliver were connected.
"Why?" Oliver asked curiously.
"Because your voice is gentle," Eleanor said.
"I felt like… I heard my brother's voice," Myna said as she looked at Oliver's face.
Everyone whipped their heads to her side and looked at her strangely.
"What!? Apart from his black eyes, he looks like my brother. I haven't seen in him years. I guess, he will look like Oliver now. If he uses a green lens then he would be looking the same as my brother.
Oliver smiled at her adoringly. "Don't worry you can call me brother," he said.
"Really?" Myna asked with stars in her eyes.
"Yes. Not only you even Eleanor and Tiffany could call me that," Oliver said. Happiness filled in his chest when he saw these women act like this.
"Yay!" Myna jumped in joy. Eleanor felt something strange again. She wasn't attracted to him sexually, but she felt the same feeling she got with Martin.
"Okay… okay… now how do you want me to compensate?" Oliver said. Oliver's words brought her out of her thoughts.
"Pay the bill. And tomorrow, we all are planning for a trip till the new year in Arrowglen. You should arrange everything for us there and be our tour guide," Tiffany said as she cleared her throat.
"Ok, Fine," He said.
"Anything else?" he asked.
"For now there is nothing. We will ask in the future." Myna said.
Oliver's eyes softened at her silly behavior. [She didn't change still.] he thought as he smiled genuinely after a long time.
"Oliver!!" he heard an angry yell from the side. Turning his head, he saw Nathaira was angry at him.
"Your gentle gaze, your smile, and everything should belong to me!" Nathaira said as she held his collar. He nodded his head with a smile.
Meanwhile,
Unknown to everyone, Myna sent a message to someone which said, [Job done. Action can be taken.]
—-----------
After dinner everyone left with the plans they decided to do for the next day.. Myna and Eleanor were about to reach the car when they saw a certain man leaning against their car door with a phone in his hands that shocked Eleanor.
