OhmFluke A Day II

14 August 2021

A Continuation from 11/8/2021

Ohm was sitting in the living room, waiting for his father to come back. When he returned home from the shopping mall, his father told him to wait for his return because Fluke's father had called him to talk about something. He got a feeling what the talk was about but he merely nodded his head and waited.

It's been more than 2 hours and his father still hasn't come back.

He was just watching a movie on the television when he heard his father's car outside. He quickly turned the television off and went out the front door, almost giddily waiting for his father to come out of the car.

"What happened?" He asked his father once the old man stepped out of the car.

"The marriage's off. Hope you're happy now." His father said, shaking his head in disappointment before entering the house.

Ohm let out a sign before storming inside to his father. "Can I have Uncle's number?"

His father turned to look at him and frowned. "Why?"

"I need to talk to him." He replied, extending his hand for the phone.

"What more do you want to talk about?"

"Please dad, let me talk to him. I want to make things right."

"Ohm, pl—"

"I don't want the marriage to be cancelled dad! I made a mistake! I know! But nobody wants to hear me explain, or, or to hear me apologise. Everybody just makes decisions for me but what am I? Why is what I want not important?!" He burst out.

His father nodded. "Alright, let's talk to him. And I'm sorry son, I didn't mean to not take your thoughts into account."

Ohm let out a sigh and shook his head. "It's okay dad, I should've known that whatever you decide for me is always for my best interest. I may not agree but I know you're only thinking of what's best for me."

The father and son duo talked a bit before they finally decided to give Fluke's father a call. Thank goodness the latter was available so they left their house to go and talk to him.

Fluke was in his room with Earth when one of the servants told him that his father was looking for him. He looked at his best friend who shook his head before both exited the room to go to the living room.

"What is it Papa?" Fluke asked as soon as he sat down on the couch in front of his father.

The old man looked at his only son and let out a small smile.

"The wedding's going to happen, Fluke."

"What?! But da—"

"Sorry Fluke, but I'm not cancelling it. It's going to be 2 months from now." He said in finality before getting up from the couch and leaving the room. He knows Fluke will be sad but he was doing this for his happiness, which he will get.

You better make sure you commit to your promise Ohm.

After the short talk with his father, Fluke hasn't left his room for the past 2 days. Earth had tried to take him out but the other wasn't moving. The servant will send food but sometimes it wasn't even touched.

Fluke's father was starting to get worried. He didn't know what to do, Fluke has never acted this way and he was starting to think it was a bad idea.

After a month and a half, Fluke was in his room, like he always is when the door was knocked. He let out a sigh and didn't answer, knowing it was just the servant about to send in his lunch.
