I walked outside and got in my brothers car. His car always makes me calm.
"Why are you so late?" asked my brother.
"Abhik, just please drive me to class."
"What's wrong Akanksha? Your glasses are fogging up, are you crying?" My brothers always the one worrying about me, I love that so much. He's the only one who cares about what I think.
"Abhik, did you hear that mom and dad are planning a marriage for me?"
"Yeah, I even know the guy. He's amazing."
"Then why didn't you tell me?!" I shouted.
"Mom and dad said they would tell you, they told me not to."
"Abhik, I don't want an arranged marriage. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a random stranger."
"Akanksha, meet the guy first, I'm sure you'll love him. If you don't, I'll help stop the marriage. Just don't cry."
"Thanks bro. Now start the car, I've got to get to class."
