Dress from Lorenzo
Blanca thought about it for a while. She was still unsure whether to accept or postpone Lorenzo’s offer.
At that moment, Lorenzo sent another message. “Blanca, you can come, right?”
“Oh, my god! Lorenzo has asked me again. What should I answer?” Blanca was still really confused.
“Ah! Just think positive!” Blanca decided.
“There’s nothing wrong with accepting the invitation and going to the dinner. How about if they really have changed and they’ve accepted me, but I postpone it? Of course, that will delay my wedding.” Blanca thought.
“But, what if it’s a trap?” Her another thought made her hesitate again.
“Just face it! We will know the fact later.” Blanca decided to accept the invitation and come to that dinner.
“How can I not come to that dinner? Of course, they will think that I’m rude and won’t respect that.” Blanca commented from her heart.
Blanca immediately sent a message. “Yes, I can.”
“Where?” Blanca asked for the location.
“At my parents’ house,” Lorenzo answered.
“I don’t know your parents’ house. So, how do I get there?” Blanca asked.
“Just take it easy! I’ll give you the address or I’ll pick you and your family up,” said Lorenzo.
“We can discuss it later. Anyway, your parents can come to the dinner too, right, Blanca?” Lorenzo confirmed.
“I don’t know. I’ll ask my parents later!” said Blanca.
“Okay. Let me know as soon as possible!” Lorenzo pleaded.
“Okay,” Blanca replied.
Blanca immediately looked for her father’s contact number and called him. She waited for a while until she heard his voice. “Hello, Blanca!”
“Hello, Dad!” greeted Blanca.
“What’s wrong, Blanca?” Her father asked. Blanca immediately told him what Lorenzo had told her earlier.
“So, can mom and dad come?” asked Blanca.
“I can, but I don’t know about your mom. Please wait!” Blanca’s father asked Blanca to wait.
Blanca waited for a while. Not long after, Blanca heard her mother’s voice, which greeted her. “Hi, Blanca!”
Blanca’s mother made sure the phone was still connected to Blanca. Meanwhile, Blanca, who heard her mother’s voice, immediately said, “Yes, Mom.”
“So, Mom, can you come to the house of Lorenzo’s parents the day after tomorrow at eight o’clock in the evening?”
“Yes,” replied Blanca’s mother.
“Just take it easy, Blanca! I can come.” Blanca’s mother tried to calm her down.
“By the way, congratulations!” Blanca’s mother congratulated her.
“Yes. Congratulations!” The response was from Blanca’s father, which Blanca could hear.
“Soon you’ll be engaged, and you’ll get married. I can’t wait to see you have kids or a kidd,” said Blanca’s mother happily.
“Ah! It’s still a long time, Mom,” complained Blanca.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“We’ll only plan it. I don’t know when we’re going to get married and when we’re going to get engaged.” Blanca complained again.
Blanca complained because she felt that her relationship might not be approved of.
“Eh, don’t say that! It’s only a short time from planning to engagement and marriage. It won’t take long,” said Blanca’s mother.
“Trust your mom, Blanca! Time flies so fast.” Blanca’s mother said it again.
Blanca could only say. “Yes. That’s true.”
“So, that’s the information for now. I will tell you more about other things later. I still don’t know whether we’ll go there alone or Lorenzo will take us.” Blanca said.
“Yeah. Just take your time, Blanca! It’s still two days away.” Her mom said to calm Blanca down.
“Goodbye, Mom, Dad!”
“Goodbye, Blanca!” Blanca immediately ended the call and informed Lorenzo that her parents could attend. “Lorenzo, my parents can come.”
After getting that information, Lorenzo felt happy. He immediately replied. “I’ll tell my mother and my father later!”
“By the way, how about if I pick you up at seven in the evening the day after tomorrow? What do you think?” Lorenzo offered.
“So your parents go to your house first. Then, we’ll go together to my parents’ house at seven in the evening.” Lorenzo said.
“That’s a great idea. I agree.”
“I’ll tell my parents later!” replied Blanca as she informed her parents of the departure plan.
“Okay.”

The next day, while Blanca was doing her homework, she heard a knock on the door. Blanca immediately shouted. “Please wait!”
Blanca opened the door and saw a courier in front of her house. The courier said “There’s a package for you!”
“Who is the sender?” asked Blanca in confusion, because, as far as she knew, no one had sent her a package and she hadn’t bought anything online currently.
A frown appeared on her forehead. The courier immediately read the sender’s name. It turned out that the sender is Ontero Boutique (one of the famous boutiques known for the beauty of every product they produce, but the prices are fantastic).
“But I didn’t order the package, and I don’t recognize the sender.” Blanca said this in confusion.
“But the address is here, Miss.” “I’m just delivering the package,” said the courier.
Hurriedly, the courier asked for permission to leave. “I’m sorry! I must leave first. I have to deliver other packages.”
“Oh. Okay. Thank you!” Blanca thanked him while she carried the package into her home.
She wondered. Sometimes, her eyes looked at the phone she was holding because she wanted to see if there was any history of orders, purchases, or deliveries that day. It turned out that there was absolutely no history of packages being delivered that day.
Then, Blanca closed the door. Afterwards, she opened the package carefully.
Afterwards, she saw a red ball gown in the package, a white card, and a pink card.
She immediately read the cards, starting with the white one. The white card is a thank-you card that thanked her for ordering. On the pink card, there were some sentences written.
“Dear, Blanca
I hope this dress reaches your home, and I hope it fits you perfectly. I would like to see you wearing this dress at our family dinner. Once it arrives at your home, I hope you will try it on immediately and contact me so that it can be returned to the boutique as soon as possible if it doesn’t fit. If it can’t be returned, we can buy another dress according to your wishes.
Love,
Sans Lorenzo”
Receiving the card, Blanca was immediately confused. She asked in her heart.
“Lorenzo? Ordered this dress for me? Why didn’t Lorenzo ask for the size yesterday or a few days ago, and why didn’t Lorenzo tell me that a package was coming to my house?”
“Is this package really from Lorenzo? I’m not sure. It can be from someone else.” Blanca was unsure and doubted that the package was from Lorenzo.
“I think I’d better check with Lorenzo first.” So, Blanca immediately called Lorenzo.
She waited a few moments for the phone to connect, and she greeted Lorenzo quickly. “Hi, Honey!”
“Hi, Honey!” greeted Lorenzo.
“Did you really send a red ball gown for me?” asked Blanca in confusion.
“Huh? A red ball gown?”
Lorenzo was very surprised because he only ordered it a few hours ago at the boutique, but it had already arrived at Blanca’s home. Meanwhile, hearing Lorenzo’s words, Blanca felt even more certain that the sender of the dress was not Lorenzo. The problem was that if the sender of the dress is Lorenzo, there’s no way Lorenzo would ask such a question.
“Yes. A red ball gown.”
Blanca replied. Blanca immediately told him what had just happened.
“Please read the sender!” Lorenzo asked Blanca to read the sender because Blanca could have received the dress from someone else. Blanca immediately read the name of the sender.
“Oh. Ontero Boutique.” Lorenzo nodded his head.
“Yes. The red ball gown is mine. I ordered it for you earlier because I was confused about what dress you should use.” Lorenzo confirmed this, which made Blanca feel calm and able to breathe freely.
“Thank you, Lorenzo!” Blanca immediately thanked him.
“Have you tried it on yet?” asked Lorenzo excitedly, as he couldn’t wait to see Blanca in the dress he gave her.
“Not yet.” Blanca replied.
“Please let me know if you have tried it!” Lorenzo pleaded.
“Yes. I’ll take a picture and send it to you!” said Blanca excitedly.
“Okay. I’ll wait!” said Lorenzo.
“Or do you want me to video call with you?” asked Blanca excitedly.
“Sure!”
“Please wait!” Blanca asked Lorenzo to wait.
She went straight to her bedroom and undressed. Then, she wore the dress Lorenzo had given her and made a video call with Lorenzo.
“Lorenzo, look!” Blanca said excitedly.
“It’s so beautiful!” Blanca praised.
“Yes, the dress is so beautiful.” Lorenzo agreed with Blanca.
“I look so pretty,” Blanca commented.
“You’re beautiful, Honey, with or without the dress,” Lorenzo cooed.
Blanca’s cheeks flushed, and she smiled because she was happy to get those sweet words. So, she thanked him. “Thank you, Honey!”
“You’re welcome, honey. Please wear it when you come to our family dinner!” Lorenzo pleaded.
“Of course, honey! I will wear it.”
“Okay, Honey! I’m sorry! I must work.” Lorenzo asked for permission.
“It’s okay.”
“Goodbye, Honey!”
“Goodbye, Honey!” Lorenzo ended the call, and he continued working again.
Meanwhile, Blanca ironed the dress and hung it up in her room. She was really excited, and she couldn’t wait for the dinner.
“What’s tomorrow will be? I really can’t wait.” She said it in her heart.
