Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1

Latika's POV~

"You're getting married!" My mom and dad said so happily. I faked a smile, as my world crashed down. "That's great mom, dad... Great..." Not so great. My mom left to the house phone in the kitchen to get on the phone with someone, probably the 'Wonderful Guy' Im meant to marry.... I dont want to get married at 19, this isnt fair... But when do i have a say in anything? While my mom was on the phone, crying tears of joy, my dad pulled me aside on the living room's sofa. 

"Are you okay with getting married? You knew this was going to happen sometime." No. No, im not okay with getting married, and i dont want to get married when im 19...give me time to set my future, and then get married? "I didn't know it would be this soon." was all i could get out of my mouth. "Awe, darling....It's going to be ok! I promise." He always kept his promise. But i feel like he wont keep this one. I don't even know the guy for goodness sakes! "He's coming in a bit, so yall can meet each other, why dont you go get ready?" He said, Oh, i dont know dad....probably because i dont want to meet him? "Yes dad. Ill get ready." I wiped the tears from my checks, and noticed some feel on my dad's shirt... Wow, embarassing Latika. 

I took a quick shower, after doing my hair, my body and shave my legs and underarms, I got changed. I changed into some black skinny jeans with a black top and black light PINK jacket with black vans. I blow dried my long black hair, and straightened it. I put on a foundation that fit my tan complextion. I put some brown eyeshadow blending it, and making my green eyes stand out, next some small winged liner, with mascara i then put chapstick on. Im not much of a bright lips person, if my eyes have loads of color... Then it looks like you just slapped make up on. Not cute. 

"Latika, can you please come downstairs?" I heard my mother's voice, echo in the house. "Coming!" 

I made my way downstairs, after checking overall my self in the mirror i have on my wall. I got downstairs, and saw the face i thought i would never see anymore...And i sure wasn't happy.
