The idea of writing this book came when I thought about all the stuff my father was hiding from us. And I created the person to make it funny. Although the book is a fiction adventure, some lines written really happened. Everyone wants be in a serious relationship. This is the case of a young woman in this story. Jeannette was a fiancée. Her man lied to her for five years, and she never realized that. But as the sign speaks, she discovers it in an atrocious situation. Many women are attracted by the appearance of men and give themselves without knowing their true face. Most of the women in this society can call a man sweetheart or my love if she sees the man with a good car or cash. Three best friends had understood this in this story, but one of them does not like the idea of lying to the girl because he was hurt by her wife. He knew” I love you” is just three words, but no one deserves to hear that. He advises to his friends that they have to say it when they feel it.

Like Any Other Women

Jeannette, a gifted young woman, works as a designer in a clothing line. Like other women, she would like to get married with her boyfriend, Cleton. Jeannette and Cleton have been sharing the same apartment for three years. Cleton was a good lawyer who earned much money than her wife. Cleton was talkative, but when Jeannette tried to talk about marriage, he changed his mood. For a while, Jeannette stopped that kind of conversation, and they had no problem in their relationship until her best friend, Prisca, advised her to keep demanding at Cleton for marriage. Spending three years with a man in the same house without him asking her for marriage is suspect.

Propose to him to marry you in the year, Prisca said to Jeannette. If he said no, then pretend like you’re going to leave so you will see his reaction.

Those were simple words from Prisca, but Jeannette made it a subject in their home. Every day, she was telling Cleton, We have spent five years together. Three years we share the same apartment. I’m a girl. I deserve a ring like other. I don’t ask you much. All I need is to be honored.

Cleton held her shoulders and said, Calm down, my darling. I already told you, it’s not the right time. Be patient. You know I love you more than anyone in this world. I’m waiting for the right time to do it, and people are going to call you Mrs. Cleton.

Please do it fast, said Jeannette. People criticized me so much. I’m impatient to get your name.

Don’t be influenced by others, and let them talk, said Cleton. We know how much we love each other.

I know, said Jeannette. But it will cost you none if you do it.

You’re going to have a greater marriage than those people who criticized you. After that, we’ll go visit Paris for two weeks.

Despite all the sweet words Cleton said to Jeannette, she did not stop pressuring him about marriage. As the pressure was too much, Cleton decided to do her will. Four months later, Jeannette was so excited when Cleton told her, We’re going to get married soon.

With an engagement ring, Jeannette walked head up in work and was proud to tell people she gets married in a few weeks.

Sign Talk

So many times Cleton has reported the wedding date. A week before their marriage, Jeannette calls Cleton and tell him to join her where everything has started.

When Cleton picked up the phone, he said, Why are you so excited? And why you want me to come over?

I have a gift for you.

I’m still working, said Cleton.

Jeannette watched the clock and said to herself, He never works after 6:00 p.m.

When Cleton reached, he saw the table was full. Jeannette had already ordered food as she knew what he likes the most.

While they eat chicken, Jeannette apologizes to Cleton as she forced him to come.

With a fake smile, Cleton says, It’s okay. I was with a client, but she understood when I tell her my future wife needs me. It was also an important case, but I report that just for you.

Again, sorry, said Jeannette.

Don’t worry. You’re more important than my job. So where is the gift?

Jeannette took out a watch from her purse and said, "When I was young, men lied to me so much. But you’re different.

Since we’re together, you never cheat on me. I really love you with all my heart. Take this watch as a gift before our wedding. I got it from my father, and he got it from his grandfather. It’s a watch of faithfulness. I promised to myself to give it to the man of my life.

Cleton whispered, We aren’t married yet, and it looks also old. You know well I like certain brands. Which brand is it?

Jeannette looks at him with timid eyes.

You know well I’m kidding, said Cleton. I have also a gift for you. Mine cost me an arm. He checked his pocket and said, "Oh! Sorry, I forgot it in the car.

It doesn’t matter, said Jeannette. You can give it to me later. First, try mine, I want to see how it looks like on you.

Let me bring mine and try it at the same time. Cleton kissed Jeannette and said, I will be back.

He went to his car, and took a valuable pair of earrings he had bought before coming. When he closed the door, a man who was pursued by the police asked him for the car keys.

With a gun pointed to his face, Cleton looked at his beautiful car and said, No, I can’t.

The thief, agitated with the gun, looks back and sees the police coming. I’m going to shoot you, please give me that.
