" kya hua?" Dad asked with a smile.

" Mumma fixed the wedding date for the next month and didn't even ask me once " I said in a disappointed tone.

Papa looked at mummy and then smiled at me again.

" Ok or" dad said

I looked at dad, I didn't understand what he meant. Was he trying to say that mumma did the right thing?

"Papa and Mumma  if you are thinking that just like you both convinced me to marry Akshay, you will convince me to marry him next month itself" I said in a fit of rage.

"How can you take such big decisions for my life without asking me?" I continued.

I was filled with anger. Mom and Dad were listening to me calmly and I was venting out my anger.

" TARA !! Now listen to us once"Dad said as he made me sit on the couch again.

I sat on the couch, Papa sat on my left side and Mumma on my right side.

Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said " One day you have to get married, right? "

"But... " I was to say

"No, answer my question first." Dad  Interrupted me

I sighed "yes!! "

"Tara I can understand you that you don't want to get married so early but Akshay is a good boy so there shouldn't be any problem"Papa said lovingly in a low voice.

" And when both the families are ready, you and Akshay are ready, then what difference does it make to me whether the marriage takes place after a year or a month?" Papa continued.

I was quietly listening to his points. I knew that he would do whatever he wanted. I was not going to get my way.

Mumma took my right hand in her hand and caressed it lovingly with her palm.

"But dad, it's my final year of college, what about that?" I asked to dad while looked at him.

"You can continue college after marriage, it's not a big deal my princess" Papa said this with a lovely smile and also convinced me.

dad and Mumma said their piece and looked at me with the same sparkle and hopeful eyes, waiting to know my answer.

"Princess, there is no compulsion, we will not decide anything unless you say yes" Papa said while caressing my head.

Now I feel as if I am stuck in a sea surge

If I refuse then mom and dad will be hurt and I don't want this and what can I do, I don't see any other option.
