They arrived at the airport and moved toward exit after receiving their bags, Sonya breathe in the fresh air of the new country and look around admiring the surroundings.

“This is not her dream country but with what she is looking at she feels satisfied" she thought happily.

“Can we go if you are done looking” Simon said to get back her attention.

“Ys, but where are we staying?”

“Just follow me” he said and dragged her along with him. They arrived at a house and a lady opened the door, she hugged Simon and they enter the house with Sonya following behind curious about who the lady is.

“This my cousin Sonya and Sonya meet Amy, my girlfriend” he introduced.

"Nice to meet you and.. you are beautiful” Amy said and hugged her.

“Nice to meet you too and have heard a lot about you” she said and turned her head to Simon with a questioning look.

“Really? I hope is not something bad” Amy asked and glance at Simon.

"Not at all, mostly about how beautiful you are” she flattered and smiled at Amy.

"Are you not going to invite us in properly?” Simon asked cutting in their conversation.

"Oh sorry my bad, come in" she said and guide them in to the living room.

“Whoa! You have a lovely place” Sonya said and sat down on the couch.

“Thanks, so why don’t you go inside and freshen up first so we can grab something to eat, am sure you must be famished”

“Okay thanks" Sonya said and stood up with her bag.

“here follow me” Amy said and lead the way for them.

After taking a hot bath and changing her clothes, Sonya decided to check her phone to see if there is any message for her. as she was checking her phone, Simon rode in.

“Hey girl, are you done yet?” he asked.

“Yes i am, but first sit down lets talk” Simon sat down.

“How and when do you get together with Amy and when do you guys start seeing each other?” she asked curiously.

“Really, anyone who saw the way you talked back then will think you already know her. i thought you said you've heard a lot about her” Simon answered her with another question.

“This is not the time to answer my question with another question, answer me am serious” she said

“Okay fine, we met each other back at school and we started dating but after sometimes she returned back to her country but we still keep in touch with each other” he explained.

“So are you serious with her. she asked doubtfully.

“Yes i am if am not i wont let you meet her” Simon said.

“I hope so” she said and stood up from the bed. Simon wanted to say something else but decided to forgo it.

“Let's go, am famished” he said instead and they walked to the living room together.

“You are done” Amy said to them as she continued to set the dishes on the table.

“let me help” Sonya said and walked toward her.

“Don’t bother, this is the last one. just sit down” she said and they all sat down to eat. after sometimes, Amy broke the silence.

"Simon, about the party I told you, it is tomorrow and the wedding is also tomorrow at 2 p.m so i plan to set out at 4 for the wedding and attend the other one later. But since you are here, why don’t you attend on my behalf” Simon looked up from his food.

“Am sorry what are you talking about?” he asked confused..

“Are you joking with me? i just told you about this the day before yesterday” Amy said obviously not happy with the fact that he forgot about their discussion.

“Oh those online friends of yours” he said and try to remember the other details.

“forget it i will just say it again, you always do that and am used to it” she said and try not to show her disappointment.

“oh those couple that you met online right?” he said as he remembers other details"

“yes mister” Amy answered.

“what are you guys talking about?” Sonya chipped in.

“mind your business and continue eating" Simon cautioned her.

“how can you talk to her like that?” Amy scold him and faced Sonya.

"Since you are here, I will just use the opportunity to invite you to join my chat room" she said and drop her spoon to focus on what she has to say.

"there is this one time your dear cousin broke up with me and a friend introduced the app to me. It's like a game but it's a chatting game where you interact and meet with lots of people and also if you are looking for someone to talk to” Amy explain.

“really? What is the name?” She asked interested.

"The name is XXX. And the main theme of the game is that you won't know who you are talking to. But there is a thing, although is for those who are trying to start a relationship with each other but you can have someone as a private friend. All of your chats will be personal but apart from that all other chat is public for everyone in your chat room to see"

Amy was happy that someone is interested and happily continue to explain it to her.

“if you want to join you can create an account for yourself now and also your dear cousin..." She was interrupted by Simon

“that is okay no need to say further” Simon cuts in.

“Why? You don't want me to know that you are playing a game like that” Sonya said and laugh at him.

“so are you coming with me or not” Amy said going back to the main issue. after Sonya`s laughter die down.

“i don’t think i will be able to i have something to do before we leave next tomorrow and i don’t know how long it will take” he explained.

“so, you are not coming?” she asked and he nodded his head and make an apology expression with his face.

“i will go with Sonya then” Amy said as a matter of finality.

“yes i will go i love attending weddings.” she said excitedly.

"then its a deal. Simon wanted to protest but seeing Sonya’s happy face he decided to keep quiet. Since he didn't say anything they begin to make plans and also Sonya downloaded the app to join also.
