" I...I rea... lik....like y...ou" I stuttered while confessing my love to him in front of his friends
He laughed at me " Aww little Anna got a crush on me . But did you look at yourself in a mirror, how can you expect me to date a girl like you. Y...
"Mom please, let me talk to Dad " I bewailed I am home and the only thing that has occupied my head right now is this marriage. I need my answers and no one is properly telling me why this is all happening. I saw my mom coming from my dad's office and at that time I knew dad's home. But Mom is not letting me meet him. "No, " she said without any emotions "Mom, you can't do this. I want to talk right now, right here " I cried "I said no, Sanjana " she yelled at me, I was gaping at her face, she was looking like the witch moms in the Indian TV serials. Tears pooled in my eyes. The office door opened and my dad came out looking at the scene unfolded, he looked at both of us and calmly said "Anna meet me in my office now" he ordered I glanced at my mom and she said nothing and moved towards her room.
I knocked on my father's door and heard "come in ". I walked into my father's house office, the Turkish style setting of the office, the interior, everything was perfect, not even a single speck of dust just as my dad liked.

I stared at my father while he was busy signing some papers. I can't believe, how can he be so calm after throwing me into this whirlwind. "I know what you're thinking, princess," he said without looking up "Ohh really Dad if you know what I'm thinking then why did you do this " I desperately asked him "I know princess, you want to know why I suddenly announced your engagement " he finally looked up "Then please Dad, tell me why did you this, you know marriage was never on my list " I breathe out "Take a seat Anna " he said gesturing me towards the seat I shake my head and "No I'm fine here " "Anna " he warned I begrudgingly took a seat "I know Anna, you have so many things already planned but you can do this after marriage too, " he said so casually like What "Are you serious Dad? For god sake I'm only 21, you can't marry me off like that ." I argued not liking that he was not giving me the answer that I want "Anna calm down and listen to me, this marriage is for your good " he couldn't be more serious "What the hell Dad? How this marriage is for my good? You are marrying me off to the person who hates me and I hate him too. And now don't make it about me. I know this marriage is your good, not mine " I emphasized "you"
He massaged his head hearing my allegations "Anna, think whatever you want to think. I know what I'm saying is true and yes get one thing straight you want it or not but you're getting married in a month. Go and start preparations for your weddings " he said back to signing papers while I was horrified hearing his words "What! No no Dad no, you can't do this. I can't do this. Dad I still wanna live my life, please Dad, please. You didn't even give the proper explanation of why you're doing this. At least tell me the truth." I sobbed "What I said is enough explanation, you don't need to know more about this " he said nonchalantly "Are you serious Dad? You're putting my life in this mess and now you're telling me that what I know is enough? No Dad no it's not enough. This is my life and I have full right to know about everything you're hiding things from me ." I am bawling my eyes out and he is not even looking at me. At this stage, I'm asking myself do my parents care. They don't even blink their eyes while here I'm crying and wasting my energy on them. Looks like Kavya was right when she used to say that I'm adopted in a joking manner. Now I feel like what she said must be true. "Anna, I'm busy right now. And please close the door before leaving " he ordered continued doing his work I am beyond shocked by this behaviour of him. I feel like my life is falling apart and the worst part is that my family is playing the biggest role in my downfall. I closed his door with a loud thud, I know my father hates it when someone loudly closes the door. But this time he didn't say anything. I was crying in my room and I heard a knock, Shiv popped his head, and I tearfully said "Go away, leave me alone". Shiv didn't say anything, he just came in and hugged me while I was sitting. I lost all my energy from crying so I didn't fight him, I just stayed. He stroked my hair for a few minutes while hugging me making my head feel better. "Shiv, what's my fault ?" I asked sleepily tired from all this bullshit "Nothing baby nothing, go to sleep " he said stroking my head as sleep took over me. I felt someone place me on the bed and pull the blanket over me. I knew it was Shiv but I can't fight anymore, I'm tired. Even Maddie is worried for me, she even tried to talk to my parents but when my family is not listening to me then how come they will listen to her?
