From the way Soda was shaking it seemed like I would murder him any minute. But to both of our surprise, I wasn't even angry. I thought maybe he was right . It was both of their mistake, and it wouldn't be fair for Sandy to suffer alone, because she was a girl. Plus, Soda dropped out, so marriage wouldn't make a very big difference. I'd let Soda take his own decision.

"MmmmmDarry, you can let me know how you feel about this, And trust me, you and Pony are the most important to me, I will never take a step that will upset you. I mean, well. I know I already did something wrong, but I won't marry Sandy if you tell me not to. I'm sorry Darry. I really didn't mean to. You believe me , don't you?" Soda asked. His innocent face made ,me want to cry.

" And one more thing Dar'? "

" Yeah?" I said, trying to keep my tears back .

"Please whether I marry Sandy or not, don't tell Pony about this. Look, if he gets to know, I'll always feel very small in front of him." I hoped Soda wouldn't start crying , because then I would also.

"Sure little-buddy, he won't know. And the thing about marrying Sandy...uh.. I don't know.. it's your life so it's actually your choice.. I won't say anything."

" Dar', do you mean I can marry her! " He asked shocked

"I guess."

" Oh, Dar'! thanks a lot, I love you." He said excitedly and went out of the room. I was glad to see him happy after all these days he was upset.

Soda looked very cheerful the next day. He loved Sandy a lot. He was willing to marry her even when we all thought she was pregnant with some other guy.

" Dar' guess what? Even Sandy's parent agreed to get us married. I'm so happy, Dar', I can't even explain it in words. So umm...since Sandy's family agreed as well uh.. aren't you gonna start making preparations.

I just kept looking at Soda while he was busy talking. He sounded like he did when he was much younger.

" Don't worry little buddy, it will be done soon. You seem to be in a hurry for your wedding, huh?" I said smiling.

He smiled back. It's not that. Actually Sandy's a little impatient and its a little more than three months since she's pregnant so, you know what I mean, if I'm gonna marry her anyways then what's the difference."
