Will they find a way to reclaim love and commitment in their own lives, or will they succumb to the societal pressures that have tarnished the institution of marriage?Excerpt:-“If you think I'm gonna marry that man, then sorry, I'm not!” She said to her father.“You are, Silvia.” Her father declared.“I have a man!” She said.“What?” Her parents chorused.“You have a man. You should have told us earlier instead of letting us go through all that trouble.” Alan said.“We've been dating for some while now and he proposed to me recently and I accepted it.” She showed them an engagement ring on her finger, which she bought before coming to the mansion.“It's beautiful. How come you weren't wearing it yesterday?” Her mother asked.“I didn't wear it yesterday.” She answered simply.“Then why did you go through the trouble of attending the dinner date?, you could have just told us,” Her mother added.“I wanted to see the man you were setting me up with. I was so angry because I knew I was taken already. I didn't want to tell you guys yet, I didn't want to introduce him to you guys till a couple of days time. You spoilt the surprise.” Silvia explained.“Oh I see. So when can we meet this lucky man?, do we know him?” Alan said.“Uh-Uhm...no you don't. You'll meet him in a couple of days time, he's a really busy man.” She almost stuttered.“Okay, dear. We'll be waiting.” Her mother said. What has she done?, how was she going to get a man that will be willing to marry her in just a couple of days time.
