Arranged marriage no way

Early morning with the cool breeze and the sun still rising the waves kissed the shore. Weather like this on a beach would brighten anybody's mood except for a girl who sat on the huge rocks with her head on her knees and her hands pulling out her hair. If anyone knew her, they could tell that she's never been so stressed cause anika sharma had been a chirpy and bubbly girl. She had been sitting there like that for a while now, lost in her mind, unaware of the world. She didn't even notice when the waves tried to touch the rocks. A guy walked upto her

Guy: If you want to get your hair off your head, you'll have to pull harder

Anika looked up at the person who disturbed her when she was already in a bad mood. He stared analyzing her face

Anika: leave me alone

Guy: sure as you wish

But he didn't leave, instead he sat beside her and kept on looking at her

Anika: i asked you to leave me alone

Guy: I'm not disturbing you, I'm sitting here quietly. You can continue pulling your hair out

Anika: dude what's your problem

Guy: exactly, what is your problem? It's such a pleasant morning, the weather is pleasant yet here you are with puffy eyes all stressed up

Anika: why should i tell you? Infact why am i even talking to you

Guy: you know it is said that sometimes discussing your problems with a strangers can be better than discussing with friends. Gives you answers that didn't exist in your little bubble of life

Anika: do you think listening to your philosophy I'll spill out

Guy: well you can try my philosophy, maybe i can help you. What troubles you on such a good day

Anika: this is not a good day, infact this is the worst day of my life

Guy: ohh, do you mind telling me why

Anika: I'm not going to tell you anything

Guy: let me guess, is it related to your work

Anika didn't react

Guy: umm, love life issues or family problems

She didn't react again

Guy: marriage... She flinched when she heard that and he got his answer

Guy: i believe it has something to do with your marriage

Anika: stop it, i don't want to talk about it

Guy: arranged marriage it is then i suppose

Anika: stop your guess work okay, I'll tell you if you keep quiet now

He acted as if zipping his lips

Anika: my parents want me to get married to a guy i don't even know. How can i spend my entire life with a stranger

Guy: What's his name

Anika: i don't know, some Mr. Oberoi

Guy: cmon this is the 21st century your parents must have told you about him (he said smiling)

Anika: yeah obviously, he's my father's friend's son so my family knows him. I've never met him. My sister gauri e-mailed me his picture and biodata but i was so pissed off that i deleted it without checking the mail.

Guy: so you don't want to get married right now

Anika: i don't have any issues with getting married. It's just that I didn't want it this way, you know. What about my dreams?
