Mr&Mrs...Whatever!

Chapter 8

*Usha Pov*

I think I am about to faint, so I sat on the couch and took a few deep breaths. I put a very sweet smile on my face and looked up at them.

"Mom! My answer is still 'No'." I said sweetly.

"We will not hear your answer until you meet him. Tomorrow you can decide clearly after meeting him." Mom said even more sweetly.

"Ok! I will reject him when I meet him then." I said getting up.

"We even need the reason for your rejection." Dad said making me flop on the couch.

"But that's unfair. This is my first proposal and you guys are acting like if I don't get settled with this, then I will never get married in my life." I said glaring at both.

"That's because this is the best proposal." Dad said with a hard expression.

"Maybe not best for me." I said shrugging.

"Usha! His father is our college best friend. We got together with him after so many years and that too for your proposal." He said and I actually don't understand what he is trying to tell me.

"So?" I asked him confused.

"Just meet him tomorrow. That's the best thing, and we are more than sure that this will be settled." Mom replied.

"Are they coming here or do we have to go there?" I asked them after few minutes of silence.

"We are actually going to our village. It is our family's home town, and we will meet in your uncle's house." Dad replied smiling.

"You mean Deepu will be there with me?" I asked him suddenly feeling good that at least one thing was happening as well.

"Yeah! They are so happy about this proposal too." Mom said.

"Why?" I asked him completely confused. I mean, why they would be happy for my marriage proposal.

"This proposal was actually sent to Deepthi and somehow you got it." Dad replied but didn't give me any details.

I will think about it later and present I just want to come out of this problem. Looking at their faces, I can tell that they so want this to happen as per their plan.

"I will go and sleep." Saying this I again stood up.

"By 9am we need to be in the village. You can ask for the leave later." Dad said.

I ignored him and went inside my room. Who cares about the leave right now when my life is more important here?

I immediately called Abhay, but he is not lifting his phone. After a few tries, he finally picked up saying, "Hello?"

"I am doomed here." I said in panic mode.

"I really can't talk right now Usha. I am very busy." He said in a hurry.

"What do you mean you are busy? The situation here is really serious." I said, trying to make him understand.

"It's Shruthi! She is having another breakdown, and I am actually with her at present. I will talk to you later." He said not at all hearing my words.

Shruthi! Is it always going to be about her? I thought, frowning.

"You may lose me because of this problem, Abhay. Can't you at least hear it?" I asked him pleadingly.

"I will listen tomorrow freely. For now, she needs me so bye and can't you understand the seriousness of the matter here." he shouted making me gasp.

"Look Usha! I am..." he started to say, but I cut him off shouting "Go.To.Hell."
