Fix Me

{8}

He walks closer and closer to me and my heart is jumping out of my chest. I grab his hand and jerk him close to me. Me and Dylan O'Brien were scheduled to be on a date at this very moment, but since we couldn't make it out of the bedroom I guess it's cancelled.

Plus he would die for me.

The date which was planned for me wouldn't matter at the moment.

He pushed me onto his fluffy bed and started to crawl over me. But this god damn beeping noise started to bug me.

The dream was over and I woke up to face facts and reality. I was going to snuggle in for a short 5 more minutes but Geetha chechi rushed into my room.

"Vasu wake up chellam." Chechi gently said, trying to wake me up. I got out of bed still in clumsy hair walking over to my bathroom.

"Where's Mumma?" I asked.

"You have a visitor downstairs, she is making tea... so get ready quickly." She muttered. Something about the dull look on her face gave me a bad sign.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, please be quick."

Without hesitation I got myself quickly dressed. Then I rushed down the stairs and Chechi eyed me to go to the living room. There I saw my mom and my dad plus my brother Varun. They were all gathered next to a man.

Who was the man?
Turns out it was the man I had saved from an accident a couple of days ago. But what was he even doing here? I quietly took a seat next to my mom and smiled. Maybe I should feel creepy that this guy hunted me down and found out where I am living.

There was an awkward silence so I decided to make a conversation.

"How are you injuries sir?"

"Fine, thank you for asking."

Another awkward pause began until my brother spoke up.

"So this is Mr. Rahul Saxena..." he trailed.

My ears started ringing to the sudden familiarity in his name. Actually his last name. It came back to me like a boomerang all of a sudden. I was feeling Jo Jo siwa in me but not in complete happiness. The exact opposite; Terror.

"He wants you to-" My dad stopped himself. I could feel a weird tension playing between my dad and my mom's eyes.

"Look Vasu." Mr. Saxena started, "I like your personality and I think you could help someone using it."

"Who do you mean sir?" I asked. He released deep breath which seemed to have calmed him down, but made me more nervous.

"I want you to marry my son Akilan."

I blinked.

That's all I could do at that moment. Being honest, I didn't see that coming.

I swiftly shifted my eyes over to the rest of my family who looked more helpless than I. This explains Geetha chechi's bad mood this morning.

"My daughter would gladly marry your son." My dad replied with fake happiness.

"Alright then it's settled, shall we have the engagement next week?"

My dad nodded his head obediently along with my brother and mom. And now I realize how much of a mess I've gotten myself  into.
