Arranged ??

chapter twenty three

Sia's Dad rang the doorbell...
The door openethatowing Julie's bright face...
Sia's dad at first thought he came to the wrong house...!

He was too confident about Taehyung, he knew he would never do something like what he heard from his daughter...

Is this Taehyung's ho-
His words were cut off by her answering him immediately

Yes...... Come in
Julie said... Sia's dad followed her to the hall...
And the hall was a mess. There were some beer bottles and glasses, some foods fell on the floor,

His nose scrunched in disgust,

I am so sorry, you have to see this mess... I have told to Taehyung so many times not to party inside the home, he never listens...!
She said making place on the couch

Who are you? Where is Taehyung?
Sia's dad asked

Taehyung is inside the bathroom,
I am his gi- friend... Just friend...!
She said,

He asked her some more questions and then left the house as Taehyung didn't show up...

~~~

Taehyung opened his eyes, bright sunlight falling on him... He looked beside him Jimin sleeping,

He tried to wake up him but it wasn't helpful... Jimin just changed his sleeping position...

Taehyung heard some voice, he was sure no one's here it's just him and Jimin...

He slowly got up and went to the hall and saw Julie closing the door...

He was confused to see her here again...

Who was that? And what are you doing here?

~~~

Sia's dad sighed after hearing all, that happened...! Everyone in that room remained silent not knowing what gonna happen next...!

So you two never lived like a real couple?
He asked standing in front of his daughter

She shook her head holding her tears back

You...
Sighed again
I am sorry Sia
Her dad said kneeling in front of her

And everyone's face changed, as like they just saw an alien... Or a person with two heads...

Did he just say sorry?
Aera whispered in Nima's ear

I thought I am hearing things
Nima whispered back

Appa...
Sia said in shock too

I am sorry... I couldn't be a good father at all... I couldn't understand what my kids expecting... What they want... I just thought about my responsibility is to give you a better half and even I failed in that...!
He said looking down
Sia kind of felt sad looking, her dad like that...!

It's my fault too... Appa I should have fought for what I wanted... Instead of accepting something stupid!
She said

You can do what you want Sia...
Dad said putting his hands on her cheek
For the first time Sia felt happy, she put her hands on dad's hand small tears dropping from her eyes

Do whatever career you want...
About Taehyug, I will take care of that..! Just be happy
He said he

Waw... After doing all this... He is saying this... The genius of the year award goes to-
Aera whispered and Nima slapped her back to stop talking

I should talk to his parents
He said

No... Don't... I don't want them to know... Let Taehyung tell he wants to.
I don't want to hurt them
Sia said with a low voice, looking down

And then he hugged her to console...

What in the world happened to him?
Nima whispered to Aera

I am thinking the same...!
I. Don't believe this is Not the uncle I know...
Aera whispered back both looked at each other and shrugged...

~~

Sia's father left after making sure that Sia is gonna be alright here...

Now all three sitting on the couch staring at the wall, as it is Sunday there is no work...

Sia, you sure it's your dad?
Nima asked

Yes, I have the same doubt, like I thought he would say “what you did... Now, what are others gonna say about our family, what about our prestige... Blah blah blah blah ”
Aera said standing up and making all hand movements and giving extra expressions...

I was shocked too...! Even I was expecting something like that
Sia shrugged
I even expected to get slapped by him just like in dramas...
She said making big puppy eyes...

Oops... Now what?
AEra and Nima said simultaneously

Need to resign.. And look for a new job.
Sia said

Don't worry about your job... you can work in our office... you need to work hard to get a contract though...!
Aera said....
Sia's phone started to make a sound

And it was Taehyung who was calling

She thought for a minute if she should receive or not, and then decided to answer it anyway

Hello

Sia...

Haa...

Sia, please come back... I will explain everything, let's just clear all misunderstandings...

Tae- Taehyung... Is there anything left to explain? I already know everything... I don't want to hear-

Please...
Taehyung said in a begging voice

Fine... Tomorrow?
She asked

No... Today.... like right now...
He said in a low voice, Sia sighed before saying Yes...
