Hurting Because of YOU

2

---Atif's POV---

"Are you ready yet?" Dad asked.

I mentally replied that I would never be ready.

"Coming," I said.

Today was a big presentation and soon I would be the CEO.

I'm so excited but nervous at the same time.

I went downstairs and he smiled, like he was proud, which made me happy.

We soon left and got to the office.

"You got this," he said. "All the best."

I took a deep breath and went inside.

I started the presentation and everyone seemed to be liking it. That made me relax and I carried on.

Eventually, it came to an end and everyone applauded.

Thank God they liked it.

I went back to my office and one of my close friends, who I consider to be like my best friend, came in.

"Hey Mitul," I said.

"Hey, guess what?" He asked and dad walked in.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm getting married," he said.

He didn't sound excited about it, but he wasn't upset either.

"Arranged?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Okay, well we have work to do," I said.

I wasn't interested in the of marriage. Just can't see myself doing it.

"Congratulations!" Dad said to him.

"Thanks, but I don't even know the girl," he said.

"You will eventually," Dad said.

"Dad, we have work to do," I said.

"Ya ya. I know," Dad said. "Your gonna die single."

Mitul laughed at that as dad left.

I glared at him and he apologized. With that we got to work.
