After the departure of the kondo family,

Hervé: really they seem to have a lot of money I'm proud of you Flora

Flora: (rolls her eyes)

Hortense: money is not what matters the most I'm happy that she found a man like Emmanuel, he's just perfect, kind, understanding

Flora: can we stop talking about them for a moment? It looks like you're renting them it's so embarrassing

Hervé: Uh hortense I will help you with the preparations anyway we are only Two

Patricia: (smiles) my sister will be the prettiest on her engagement day, I'll take care of everything

Flora: (stands up) I'm going to rest a bit

Hortense: we only have one week to prepare everything, I'm going to make a deposit

Hervé: yes but listen carefully the wedding will have to be spectacular compared to the engagement I don't want them to look down on us ok? Uh (gives him an envelope) I'll put some money in, that could help

Hortense: but big brother you don't have to do that

Hervé: but what are you talking about? Flora is also my daughter, isn't she? Being the man of this family I have to do my best good I will leave you now take care of yourself Patricia take care of your sister and your mom

Patricia: ok uncle

Two days had already gone by, Finally the day of the engagement... Flora had gotten ready, she was really magnificent in her red dress.

Patricia: you're so pretty, you should often dress like that, you look like an angel

Flora: (looks at herself in the mirror) yes I know I'm just perfect

Patricia: (ironically) hello modesty!

Flora: Ahh tell me, did mum spend a lot preparing for the wedding? I mean....

Patricia: yeah she got a lot out of her bank account she wants everything to be perfect you are her eldest daughter so she wants perfection

Flora: (arranges her makeup)

Patricia: I'm going to see if everything is ready to leave (she leaves)

Flora: (puts the paintbrush on the table) Mom is spending too much on a wedding that won't even last a month (sighs) I don't want her to be disappointed after all,

Hortense: (arrives) darling, are you ready?

Flora: hmm? Uh yeah I'm already ready

Hortense: you don't look well, are you okay?

Flora: why won't it be okay? I'm fine let's go now

Hortense: (smiles) okay

Later, they arrive in front of the kondo residence:

Hervé: oh my god what is that my God!

Patricia: I have never seen such a beautiful house in my entire life.

Hortense: I must admit that she is tall

Flora: (rolls her eyes) no need to get down to express your love either, Mom pretend in front of them it's sure you'll see ENT inside but at least pretend

Hervé: gold?

Flora: let's enter now They enter...

Everyone was well dressed, The house wasdecorated in such a magnificent way that it caught the eye, Marie approached to welcome Flora's family:

Mary: welcome Hortense: Oh thank you Grandmother Hortense introduces her relatives and friends to the kondo family and they do the same, They sit down:

Marie: Emmanuel is in his room with Amina Uh Bénédicte can you pick them up and tell them that our beautiful daughter is there the pastor is already ready!

Bénédicte: ok mum (she leaves)

Hervé: wow grandmother your house is really beautiful HAHAHA it looks like the castle in Jodha Akbar it's so beautiful

Mary: hahaha

BELIVE (comes): don't worry, I'll give you one so I have a beautiful daughter now

Hervé (stands up): hello sir... I guess you're Emmanuel's father

BELIVE: of course

Hervé: ah.. I didn't see you the other day

BELIVE: I had left for a business abroad

Hervé: oh.. I see

BELIVE: well Uh.. thank you for granting your daughter's hand to my son

Hervé: no you don't have to thank us, it's God who decided that way... Uh seriously, I'm impressed by the beauty of your house

BELIVE (smiles)

Flora: (Thinks: my God! But keep it quiet) In Emmanuel's room,

Bénédicte: (arrives) they arrived, Emmanuel you will be amazed Flora is just beautiful

Emmanuel: (arranges his outfit) really? I'm coming

Amina: (help) we have to go.. You are beautiful as always

Emmanuel: thank you mom

Amina: it's too late to cancel all this

Emmanuel: (leaves)

Bénédicte: who knows maybe you will be surprised by Flora?

Amina: surprise is the word Let's go now I guess if the mother in law is late people will talk Once downstairs,

Emmanuel: (touches the feet of Hortense and Hervé) hello Hortense: hello

Amina: we can start with the ceremonies

They started the ceremonies, the sharing of alliance as well as gifts for the promise of marriage, The ceremony was finished and everyone was talking and doing more Knowledge:

Ezi: Emmanuel now you know you can take the leap?

Hortense: course?

Ezi: (nodded) Uh I heard that after the engagement anything goes!

Mary: what do you mean?

Ezi: What I mean is that Emmanuel and Flora can sleep together without a problem

Amina: but what are you talking about? are you drunk?

Emmanuel: (laughs)

Aimée: (arrives) good evening everyone.

Amina: Beloved! Wow it's been a long time how are you honey?

Aimée: I'm fine sorry to be so late but I had an urgent operation

Emmanuel: don't worry, it's not that bad

Aimée: (looks at Flora) congratulations!

Flora: (smiles)

Aimée: Emmanuel can we talk alone?

Emmanuel : Uh yes why not let's go

They go a little further, Ezi approaches Flora

Ezi: you should be careful with her, Emmanuel is enoughz close to her and they have a complicity of sick

Flora: you seem to have forgotten that between me and Emmanuel it's a contract and nothing more

Ezi: Really? But well soon you will be his wife and I think it is important for you to know it

Flora: thank you but you can keep your information for yourself,

Ezi: and me trying to be nice Between Aimee and Emmanuel..

Emmanuel: you wanted to talk to me, are you okay at the hospital?

Aimee: (nods her head)

Emmanuel: so what did you want to talk to me about?

Aimée: we studied together for 10 years now and worked together for 8 years, don't tell me you never noticed anything

Emmanuel: (lost) I don't quite understand

Aimée: Emmanuel you are aware that I have always had feelings for you (tears in my eyes) of course I was never expressive but all the same Why did you decide to marry a girl when... Sorry I am realize that I don't even have the right to tell you all this because... 'Cause you're just a friend aren't you?

Emmanuel: (looks down) I'm sorry Aimée

Suddenly Flora arrives..

Emmanuel: I'm sorry to have made you believe that something could happen between us but no! I'm with Flora and I plan to stay, I think you're not going well tonight, you should go home, we'll see you tomorrow at the hospital Loved but...

Flora: (approaches) I think he told you everything, It was quite simple, wasn't it? He's not interested (folds his arms) you seem smart and interesting looking for a man who will appreciate you not someone else's man

Aimée: (ironical smile) it's not because you're in a relationship with him that he belongs to you, I'll do my best to make him realize my love for him... I'm sure that you don't even like him, Emmanuel, we'll see you tomorrow at the hospital and sorry to have ruined your evening (leaves)

Emmanuel: wow.. What news

Flora: (looks at him) we should go down people will suspect something

Emmanuel: you are right (move forward) The evening ends in laughter and joy,

Several days passed and we were finally the day before the wedding it was the wedding ceremony several women were around Flora and applied makeup to her -you are so pretty, and this makeup will beautify your skin

Flora: (Think since when have these women been so nice to us? Hmmm it seems like knowing that my in-laws are rich makes even the worst of them sweet)

Patricia: Richala? On hearing this name

Flora gets up and turns,

Richala: (approaches with a smile) Congratulations Sister

Flora: what are you doing here? (she says coldly) Richala: recently engaged, sorry but I couldn't come because I wasn't invited don.. (Shows him a jar of turmeric) I prepared it myself according to the beliefs if a little sister applies turmeric on his sister it will open its doors to marriage (smiling)

Flora: (smileironic) I must say that you are really surprising, Get out of here before I forget that you are the daughter of the man whose blood runs in my veins

Richala: Flora...

Flora: don't even dare say my name!

Hortense: Flora but why are you yelling at her? (makes her sit down)

Flora ma...

.

Hortense: no shut up now you're going to end up attracting bad vibes to yourself.... And then she's right, what happened years ago had nothing to do with her so leave it the

Flora: (furious)

Hortense: please do it for me it would make me happy

Flora: (pause)

Hortense: I take that as a yes

Richala: (smiling) thank you aunt! She squats down and applies turmeric on Flora who was very angry. Meanwhile in a coffee restaurant Aimée and Amina were talking

Aimée: (smiles) you made me come here I guess there's something

Amina: you are a smart girl and I like you! But the way you act wasn't really rational

Aimee: sorry?

Amina: confessed her feelings like that to Emmanuel hum no!

Aimee: you...

Amina: it's not the most important how I know but what I'm going to offer you today (smiles) I have a proposal for you that will allow us to get rid of Flora It's that we can do whatever tonight she leaves on her own what do you say?

Aimee: (intrigued)
