"Answer me, Martin." Johnson said.
"Because He was touching Alexi inappropriately and tried to kiss her. So, I... I..." Martin stuttered.
"So, you got angry and punched him?" Johnson asked and Martin nodded his head in Yes.
"Yes." Martin replied.
"Mar..." Before Johnson was going to say anything there was a knock on the door.
Johnson opened the door and saw Aunt Lucy holding suits in her hand.
"You didn't get fresh-up until now?" Lucy asked and stepped inside the room and looked at Martin.
"What are you both doing until now without getting fresh up?" Lucy asked as keeps the suits on the bed.
"Nothing, Aunt Lucy. Tell me you need anything?" Johnson asked.
"No. I just came to give you your suits and yeah. I will send your breakfast to your room. Have it and get ready for the engagement." Lucy said.
"Okay, Aunt Lucy." Johnson atelier and Lucy walked out of their bedroom and Johnson closed the door and turned back and saw Martin already escaped from him to the restroom before Johnson give him an ear full.
"I will see you in the evening, Martin." Johnson said to himself and shook his head.
Johnson and Martin almost got ready when some knocked on their door.
"Come in." Johnson said and the door got opened and Lucas, Andrew stepped into the room.
"Hey, man. You ready to get engaged?" Lucas asked.
"Yes, He is." Martin said and Johnson chuckled.
"Looks like, you guys are excited more than me." Johnson said with a small smile.
"I don't know about others but I am so excited." Martin said and Johnson smiled.
"Johnson, You should have a lot of patience. Please, don't ever try to break her heart." Andrew said and Johnson nodded head in Yes.
"Let's go down now. Everyone is waiting for you." Lucas said and everyone walked out and went to the Garden.
"Johnson, you look so handsome." Lucy said and hugged Johnson.
Johnson wore an all-black suit and to complement the suit to look by adding a white pocket square. The suit looked great on Johnson with the buttons on the side.
"Thank you, Aunt Lucy." Johnson replied with a smile.
"Johnnsoon." Anna said as he went towards him.
"Ohh... You look so beautiful." Johnson said with a smile and kissed Anna's forehead.
"Tank you." Anna said and giggled.
Just then Chitra, Quency came to the garden in their Indian traditional outfits.
"Wow, You look so beautiful Quency." Lucas said.
"Thank you." Quency replied with a small smile.
"You look so beautiful, baby." Noah said to Chitra and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you." Chitra replied while blushing.
"Ok now, where is Sam?" Lucy asked.
"She is coming." Quency said.
Just then Samantha came outside of the house to the garden.
Samantha wore a sage green embroidered net long gown with a little makeup and hair in a messy bun. Looking ravishingly.
Johnson just kept staring at her until Martin called him.
"Brother." Martin called.
"Um!" Johnson said looking at Samantha.
"SIL is so beautiful, right?" Martin asked.
"Yes, So beautiful." Johnson said still looking at Samantha and everyone laughed and then he realized that everyone is looking at him and he got embarrassed.
"It's okay, Johnson. You don't need to be embarrassed. She will be yours soon." Damon said and everyone laughed again and he again felt embarrassed.
"Come on now. Let's start the engagement." Liam said as he took Samantha's hand and bought her near to Johnson and kept her hand in Johnson's hand and stepped back.
Johnson looked at Samantha and just saw a small smile on her face but he knows that it's not her real smile but he promised himself to make her really smile soon. Very soon.
Sophia and Quency bought their rings and Johnson took the ring from Sophia's hand and kneeled down on his one leg in front of Samantha and her eyes widened in shock.
"Johnson." Samantha said.
"Will you marry me, Samantha Julie?" Johnson asked Samantha and Martin whistle.
"I know, whatever happening is really fast but I am ready to give a chance to this relationship. Will you do the same and accept to marry me?" Johnson asked with a smile even though he knows the answer is a Yes. But, still, he wants to hear Yes from her again.
"Yes." Samantha said with a small smile and everyone clapped there hands.
Johnson slides the ring on her left-hand ring finger and kissed her knuckles and Samantha took the ring from Quency's hand and slide the ring on my left-hand ring finger and again everyone clapped there hands.
Damon and Lucy came near Johnson and Samantha and congratulated them.
"Congratulations you both." Damon said and hugged Johnson and kissed Samantha's forehead and hugged her.
"Thank you, Uncle Damon." Johnson replied.
"I am so happy for you, Sam." Lucy said to Samantha and hugged her and Samantha nodded with a small smile.
"Congratulations my boy." Lucy said and hugged Johnson.
"Thank you, Aunt Lucy." Johnson replied.
Next Liam and Cassandra went to them and Cassandra hugged Samantha tightly and a tear falls down from Samantha's eye.
"Thank you so much, honey." Cassandra said and released Samantha from her hug and wiped her tear.
"Everything will be alright, okay." Cassandra said as she kissed Samantha's forehead and Samantha nodded her head.
"I hope you love my daughter after knowing her completely too." Liam whispered as he hugged Johnson.
"I will, Uncle Liam. I promise you." Johnson whispered back and he released him from his fatherly hug and went near Samantha and hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Congratulations, Johnson. I hope you make her fall in love with you soon." Cassandra whispered hugging Johnson.
"I will, Aunt Cassandra." Johnson replied.
"Now. Now. You are going to call us Mom and Dad from now." Cassandra said and Johnson smiled and nodded his head.
"Yes, Mom." Johnson replied with a smile and Cassandra smiled brightly at Johnson.
Next, Robert and Jessica went towards Samantha and Johnson to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, Son." Robert said and tried to hug Johnson but he stopped him.
"It's better if we shake hands." Johnson said sternly and Robert's face changed into sadness from happiness but he sighed and they shook hands.
"Thank you." Johnson replied.
Jessica hugged Samantha and whispered. "Thank you so much for coming to his life. Please keep him happy always." And hugged Samantha and Samantha nodded her head with a small smile and Johnson frowned seeing Jessica whispering something in Samantha's ear.
"Congratulations, Johnson." Jessica said with a smile and forwarded her hand for a shake and but to surprise, Johnson hugged her and she got flinched in his hug.
"I already told you to be away from her but you still not listening to me. But, If I again see you moving close to Samantha then you will regret what you did, got it?"Johnson whispered his Jessica's ear with a dangerous voice and he felt her flinch at his warning and released her from his hug.
Robert hugged Samantha and kissed her forehead and Johnson sighed seeing them still moving close to Samantha.
Next Noah and Chitra came towards them and congratulated them and then Martin, Lucas, Andrew, Quency, Sophia congratulated them.
Martin started taking our photos with everyone with the camera which he bought here with him.
Everyone is looking happy but the one on whom Johnson is keeping an eye from the start of the engagement is not happy. She didn't come near them and didn't congratulate them. She is seeing everything happening there with so much patience but still, she is keeping her anger to herself. She is none other than Alexi Julie.
Johnson excused himself and turned to go near Alexi but Martin grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"Brother, come on. Let's take your's and SIL's pictures." Martin said.
"Martin, Just let me talk with Alexi for a minute." Johnson replied and Martin turned around and saw Alexi angry face.
"Let her be like that, bro. Now, Come with me." Martin said and dragged Johnson to Samantha.
Johnson knows why Martin dragging Johnson like that because he doesn't want Johnson to talk with Alexi and get offended on her words on his special day.
"SIL, Come with me." Martin said and grabbed Samantha's hand and dragged them both to the open place.
"Stand here." Martin said and they both stood beside each other.
"Uff! Brother. You both are engaged now. Go close to SIL and keep your hands on SIL's waist and give a pose to the camera." Martin said and Johnson looked at Samantha.
"Can I?" Johnson asked Samantha and she nodded her head in Yes.
Johnson moved close to her and surrounded his arms around her waist and her body shivered with Johnson's touch and she lifted her head up to Johnson and looked at him with her small cute, innocent yet beautiful eyes.
"SIL, keep your hands around brother's neck or chest." Martin said and Samantha nodded and slowly lifted her hands up and kept her hands on Johnson chest and CLICK!
"Wow... Come on. Next pose. Brother, Hug SIL from behind." Martin said and Johnson nodded and went behind her and wrapped his hands around her small waist and bought her close to his body and Johnson felt Samantha getting relaxed with his touch.
"Bring your heads close to each other." Martin said and I moved my head close to her and breathed in her neck and she suddenly looked at Johnson with a surprised look but they both came closer to each other and would need their lips if any one of them moves forward.
"Perfect!" Martin shouted and they both looked at Martin and Samantha blushed and Johnson chuckled looking at her blushing.
They took more pictures together and then Samantha went to help others in setting the dining table in the garden.
