Still in the garden Emily and aunty Ann are busy with the barbecue.There is a garden table laid in the lawn and an elderly lady Betty and a young man in his late thirties sit at the table eating and drinking wine.
Betty--"You two should have a sit down here with us and start eating there is plenty of food already and wine too."
Ann--"I'll be in a minute Betty.Do you want some more wine?"
Emily--"I am comming.I am so hungry I can eat a horse."
Bill--"Come on Emily I have poured you a glass of wine.This chicken drumstick is delicious."
Emily go to the table and sit down next to Bill.
Emily--"Thanks Bill and how are you keeping these days?You haven't been around for a while.Where have you been?"
Bill--"My job takes me away from home most of the time but I like travelling so I don't mind."
Emily--"Of course you work for the newspapers.It must be an exciting job and pretty rewarding."
Bill--"Rewarding yes but I want to settle down now I am not getting younger every day.I am pushing fourty you know."
Emily--"Well life begins at fourty thats what they say.Consider youself only in your prime yet."
Bill--"Of course life begins at fourty but so is lumbago too.I wish I am married and with children."
Emily--"Don't worry that day will arrive sooner than you think Bill.Just keep wishing and it will come true."
Bill--"I just hope I an not wishing in vain."
Betty--"Thats what Ann and me were talking about the other day.We think you two should settled down together."
Emily--"What do you mean we.How do I get involve in it?I am not ready to be married yet."
Ann--"What Betty meant to say is,me and her have been friends for a long time and know each other very well and own large properties in this village.You and Bill known each other since childhood.If you two get married we will be a very well off families and happy too."
Emily--"Aunty Ann how do you know I would be happy marrying Bill.No offence to you Bill.I like you very much as a friend but I have only one who I love and he is a doctor.I cannot marry anyone without love.It would be cheating myself and the one I marry."
Ann--"You are not being realistic Emily darling.That doctor you are dreaming is nowhere to be found."
Emily--"Aunty Ann it was faith that made us fall inlove and faith will help me find him again.I am a great believer in Karma and faith."
Ann--"Where will you go to find him you dont have a clue where he live."
Emily--"I know in my heart I will find him one day but don't ask me how."
Emily get up and walk away from the table leaving the others dumbfounded.
