Chapter Six: Once In A Blue Moon

Chapter 6- Once In A Blue Moon 

Brianna: 

My father and I sealed our deal. 

After that, we heard someone applauding slowly. We turned to face the person who was slowly applauding. It was mother. 

"Quite a show you put up back there, dear." Mother mocked father, "Did you really have to bring that up this dinner?" 

"Brit and I barely see each other and talk to each other, Selene. Tonight's dinner was a once in a blue moon chance. When did you want me to bring that topic up?" 

"I don't know." Mother shrugged, "Maybe I was hoping you'd never bring it up. As you said, Dominic, tonight's dinner was a once in a blue moon chance. I was hoping we could enjoy it as a family." 

"Wow. Quite a family you have. Your first son walked out of dinner. That must have set your hopes of having a happy family dinner higher." 

My mother gave me a quick worried look and back to father, "Brinton's heart already got broken tonight. Can we not argue in front of Brianna? Please?" 

"About time you realise that." Father said and walked out, too. 

What can I say? Like father, like son. 

When he left, mother approached me and she put her arm around me, "Are you okay?" 

"Yes, I'm fine, mother." I answered and gave her a little smile, "If you'll excuse me." I excused myself and she let go of me. 

I went to room and sat on my bed. I don't really feel like working right now, as much as I want to finish my duties. 

I admitted to myself that just like mother and Brinton, I was actually hoping for a happy family dinner tonight. But, I guess we can't have everything we hope for, right? 

I can't get process everything that just happened tonight. Espcially the fact that my father wants me to marry Victor. 

Victor and I were informed that we're engaged years ago, but tonight was different. I wonder how much time I have left to fix this mess. 

What if he tells us to get instantly married tomorrow so that he could find matches for my siblings as soon as possible? 

What am I thinking? Maybe father's right. Maybe I have gone mad. 

Of course my father won't ask Victor and I to get instantly married. Of course, he's going to want a grand wedding, making it known to the entire world that his first born is married to Mr. Victor Andrelsen Mejes III. 

I really wonder how much time I have to figure this out. I wonder how much time I have to get out of this mess I got myself into. I wonder if I can even ever fix this mess. 

What have I done? 

Victor? Seriously? 

Well, I guess, marrying Victor is better than marrying a stranger. At least, he's someone I feel comfortable with. At least I know I can count on him to make my days better when I'm having a bad day. 

But then, maybe I'd prefer marrying a stranger because I don't want her to get hurt. I don't myself to be the reason for her heart to get broken.

I don't want to marry Victor. But I don't want my siblings marrying someone they don't love either. Especially Brietta. 

Among the four of us, Brietta had always been quite the hopeless romantic. 

I smiled at the thought. Memories of her quoting love quotes when we were younger came to mind.
