Unexpected Fate

Chapter 9

4. Xavier's pov.

"Raya? Raya?" – I continuously called her, while shaking her shoulder but she was already unconscious in my arm.

"Ryan calls the doctor immediately." – Raya's dad said. I carry her to her bedroom and gently lay her on the bed and took her hand in my hand as sat beside her.

Raya's mom is a crying mess and my mother helps her to calm down. Ryan waiting for the doctor at the front door. Our dads also have worried expressions on their faces. Jena came and sits the other side of the bed while crying. I look at her and pat her head to calm her down. She also loves her so much. Jena always admires Raya from childhood. She always wanted to be just like her.

The doctor came and checks up on her. I stand by her study table whole the time and watch. Then the doctor turns around towards us "there is nothing to worry about. I think the patient was got shocked by something and she did not take it well. That's why this is happening. I give her an injection so it will help her to calm down and she also could get some sleep. If anything serious happened then call me." And leave.

We all leave her to rest except Jena because she wanted to take care of her. We go to the living room and sit down. Then Ryan starts angrily "why you both do not tell me about this before? If you told me before then I could handle the situation. She is a very delicate person and you both you know that."

His dad sighs and said – "we know our daughter Ryan. We might not be her real parents but we raised her. But in this situation, we could not have time to tell her slowly. Your mom and I already decided that we tell her after her eighteen birthdays, as we didn't want to ruin that day. Her life is in danger. She could get kidnapped at any time soon. So we have to do something about it before it's getting late. And the first step is telling her all about this. So that she at least know current the situation. "

"But why don't you tell me. I'm her brother. I've full right to know everything about my princess."

"We know baby. But we wanted to tell you both together. So that you both can support each other and also your sister does not feel betrayed. And you didn't feel bad for not being able to tell her the truth after knowing all about it. You both are our children Ryan. We know you both so well." – His mother tells him and he nods his head in understanding.

I personally think, what they did is the right thing to do. Because they are their parent and the situation is very delicate.

"Yes, Ryan, your father is right here. Raya is a very good daughter to us as well. We have to do something. And I have a proposal about it." – My father said. We all look at him waiting for what he wants to tell us.

"What is it John?" – Ryan's mother asked

"I want Raya's hand for my son."

After hearing this we look towards my mother surprised who said this with a smile.

"What are you talking about Lily? We could not do this to you and your family, especially to Xavier. He is like 2nd son to us; you are like family to us. I don't think this a good idea."- Ryan's father replies while shaking his head.

"You are not doing anything to us Ray. Raya is our 2nd daughter and she has a very kind heart. She always gives respect to us. And I and Lily always wanted Raya as our daughter-in-law. And about Xavier, Who does not want a girl like Raya to be their future wife?" – My dad said and mom smiled at him.

"Yes, John is right. Whenever we see both of them together, we always wanted them to marry. Because they are young right now, we thought we should wait about more two years and see if they get together or not. But now, when we got to know about this situation, then we thought it could be an opportunity to have her as our daughter-in-law." – Mom explains their inner wishes to us.

In this all-time, I sat there quietly and process everything that, they were said. They are discussing me, in front of me like I'm not in the room! This is really embarrassing.

And the look on Ryan's face looks like he also agrees with them.

Then they all look at me with hopeful eyes. Ryan asked "what do you want Xav? If you don't want this then tell us now. We don't pressurize you. Feel free to tell your own thoughts."

I recall all that's moments we shared a few hours ago. I didn't want to kiss her intentionally in that classroom. It was a hit-in-the-moment. We got carried away. When she ran away I was released that, I have kissed Raya and it was her first kiss and also I kind of enjoyed it. I have kissed multiple times before but I did not feel this way before.

Then she ignores me and I got mad. I know this is hard for her because she is not like other girls. She feels shy about this matter and also she didn't like me that way but still, she could at least sit beside me in the classes, which we have together. But no, she thought it would be best to ignore the situation, ignore ME, her best friend.

But then I see her in the parking lot cursing at herself. Because she knows there was no one in the school right now to give her a ride, without me. Smiling in myself I stand beside her, said I could drop her off.

When she hears my voice, she freezes in her spot then turns towards me and we stare at each other. Her grayish-blue eyes look so bright. I just wanted to lost in her eyes.

'Why I did not see her beauty before' I thought in my mind. When I realize that the thoughts are wrong I avert my eyes from her and tell her to follow me.

But when she went to kiss my cheek in a habituate manner for opening the car door for her, I could not hold myself back. I turned my head to press my lips with her and kissed her with my passion. I pure my all irritation and anger into that kiss. I wanted to punish her for ignoring me. She did not kiss me back immediately but after some time she could not resist. She also kisses me with passion, which I didn't even know that she could kiss like that. She is like a pro.

When we broke the kiss I tell her we should forget about the kiss and also I did not regret it. And she replied to me that she did not regret it also. I felt relieved to hear that but when she agreed with me about forgetting our moment and I feel hurt. I wanted to tell her, we should not forget about it. But what was done it was done. If we would be meant to each other then it would be.

But now hearing everything about her I don't want to leave her. I don't want her to marry someone else other than me. I did not like the idea that she could be kissing someone else, she could be sharing her all fear, all sadness, all tension to anyone but me. But I should not be selfish. It is her life. She has every right to decide about her future.

With so many thoughts in my mind, I reply "I could not want to think anything about it right now. Please give me some time and Raya's too. Because we all have to take care of her at in this moments. And also let me think about it."
