His Rua

10. Marry me

"I must have done too many sins in my previous life"

Rua

I came out from the library as my phone buzzed. I stare at the screen with an anxious feeling looking at the caller ID wishing it would vanish.

"Don't say anything,Rua"

My inner demon reminds me as i picked up the phone.

"Hello papa ji"

I speak up in a plain voice, waiting for it to end as soon as possible.

"Hello beta!" His voice told me he is definitely happy about something.

"Kaise hai app?"

(How are you)

Putting aside the uneasy feelings I tried to make a conversation but like always I felt a void in my chest with a strong a urge to run far away from him.

"Mai badiya, tum btao kaise ho?"

(I'm really good you, what about you?")

"Sahi hu"

(Fine)

I replied and try to think why he called me today. He never do until it's something very important.

"Agle hafte ghar aa jaa. Ek bhot accha rishta mila h tere liye"

(Come home next week, I'll found a good really good match for you)

My heart sinks listening to him. He never keeps his words. I knew this would happen but this soon?

"Muje nahi karni shaadi abhi"

(I don't want to get married this soon)

"Muje koi faltu bakbass ya natak nahi chaiye, agle shanivaar tk ghar aa jaana"

(I don't want to listen any rubbish or see any drama, I want you home till next Saturday")

He announced his decision, completely ignoring my words. It's always been like this and i just don't know if it will always be like this only.

The more i try to to run from these things, the more i get tangled, the more I get blamed.

I don't whom i wronged so badly that the burden is still due and getting heavy with each day.

I must have done too many sins in my previous life

Thinking about my pathetic life i sit down at a place feeling something heavy on my chest. I hugged my knees as water spilled from my eyes and get mixed with rain water, completely destroying it's trace making me think how it all will end.

"You can't be week Rua, let's resist it this time"

My demon concerned over my state, i hardly have water in my eyes and whenever i have it, I despise it the most.

More water drops spill from my eyes to get mix with the raindrops and i don't dare to wipe them, it's just water, nobody cares.

I was thinking how to end this upcoming chaos for forever when a pair of shoes came in front of my eyes and the rain seems to slow down over my head.

Fuck!

I look up to see the person who witnessed my moments of weakness, my that state that i don't like to witnessed myself. Moving my eyes from the pair of shoes i arch my neck to look at the owner, who set down on his knees to match my level but still he was towering me.
