The Story of Us
Chapter-1
Rosanna Marie Watson clenched her Hermes silk scarf tightly out of nervousness. She hated these ‘WE NEED TO TALK’ sessions with her father, James Watson, because there were only two reasons for these talks; first, James Watson had his occasional dose of feeling that Rosanna needed to take her life a bit more seriously about which he gave her these occasional pep talks. The second reason was the scarier one; he called for these discussions if she had done something wrong or made some stupid, minor mistake. She remembered their last ‘WE NEED TO TALK’ session, her father had been upset because she had taken a stamp from his study to post a letter, apparently it had been James Watson’s recently acquired stamp for his stamp collection moreover it was a super rare stamp and worth 3 million pounds. She remembered saying- Jeez! Seriously, who pays that kind of money for a tiny 2 by 2 stamp!
But this time she had a gut feeling that it was going to worse because this time she was guilty of doing an itsy bit more than her usual minor mistakes. Thinking of what her father would say she flashed back to this whole affair’s roots.

Two days ago James Watson had called his beloved daughter to his study. He’d done a lot of thinking about Rosanna’s future, and he was pretty satisfied with what he had decided.
He knew Rosanna’s reaction would be explosive, but he also knew his decision was for her welfare. Poor Rosanna, he thought, she has been through a lot this past year. I have to be tactful about this. Soon as she came in, James bracing himself for his daughter’s reaction he started speaking,
‘Rosanna honey, I need to talk about something important.’
‘Yes?’ she frowned. She had a feeling her father was up to something.
‘Sugar, you were fifteen when your mom died. But she loved you a lot. She had planned so much for you. From which school you were to go to, to what to get you for each of your birthday. Everything.’ he started. She smiled first, but then grew suspicious as her dad usually reminded her of her mother only when he wanted her to do something which she wouldn’t do on normal circumstances without the dose of emotional blackmail.
‘Daddy what do you want?’ she demanded her hands on her hips and her eyes narrowing.
‘Why would you think I would want something from you and there is a secret motive behind all this?’ he said feigning a pretty impressive aghast expression.
But she knew her father better; she further pursued him, ‘So you want nothing from me?’ she said her lips twitching as she fought a smile.
‘Now, I didn’t say that, did I?’
‘Daddy if you are about to make some outrageous request like asking me go to some prissy society party, forget it!’ she protested.
‘Honey will you listen to me for a minute?’
‘Just go on with it, will you?’ she said making no attempt to hide her irritation.
‘Sure… Your mother had preplanned your life, like I said. And well she wanted you to get married after you turn 24 but before you turn 25. The same time she got married, her mother got married and even her grandmother got married after they turned 24 but before they turned 25.’ He said all of it in a rush.
