"So, that was a joke, reputation of our company is a sick joke for you! Ever considered your existence as a joke? If not you should because you're nothing just a joke. I don't know, why are we having this conversation. You are free to leave. Leave!"

"Bu-"

"I said leave and we are not having any further discussion regarding this, it's my final decision."

With a roll of the eye ,I decided to leave the room just for my own bright future, but in all seriousness this lady needs help.

What a perfect end to an evenly perfect day, I thought to myself. With a deep sigh, I decided to call it a day and decided to do something fruitful.

Quickly changing into a black payjama and white top, I hopped on my bed to watch another episode of "How I met your mother", and yes when I say, it's fruitful; you got to believe me.

Such love stories with a touch of comedy makes me wonder whether a world like this exists or not ; am I that stupid to be trapped in the fantasies of the world that has never existed in the first place. While placing my laptop on my stomach and filling my mouth with popcorns, I almost forgot my shitty day and time, but I say almost.

Whenever I try to relax,she has to ring me up.I tried ignoring her call for maybe a hundered times but she being a persistent ass , didn't give up on calling and that's what got me worried, maybe she is dying and this is her last call, maybe she got mugged, what if she saw a ghost, what if she slipped of a banana peel, what if she set her house on fire , possibilities are endless. She is capable of anything; anything here means anything. I wonder why my brain can't function normally for even a second.

"Hellllloooooooooooooooooooooooo bitchface", that made me keep my phone at arm's distance.

"What makes you think, I want to talk to you today after your days of hiding?", I said.

"Maybe my ability to lighten up your gloomy day", she stated.

Okay that made me smile a bit okay little bit more than a bit, "What, just spill.You don't even know how's my day going?"

"Well as a matter of fact that you are all over the news labelled as rich spoiled brat say it all.I see you getting used to stardom. I assume it's surely rainbows"

That didn't even shock as I am already ready for the consequences of that little show I had put earlier.

My heart melt at the thought that someone genuinely cares for me, it made me feel wanted.

"Thanks for checking on me, Isa. It means a lot. Now let's talk some other day, Have a nice day ahead. Bye love!"

"Ahhh,Stop, Stop , Stop  that's not the only reason why I called, I have something exciting to share." excitement in her voice says, she's upto something. God knows what's in the devil mind's of her.

"You found a hot celebrity that you want to date? Grow up, it won't happen."

"God dammit, Just hear me out. I'm getting married and it's in two weeks."

By this time, I was too engrossed in getting my work done, you know usual munching on my food and looking at the laptop screen. I was so distracted I just replied, "Ahh that's nice. Okay have a good day.

But something inside my mind said Hold on hold on Marriage, fucking marriage to whom and what sort of fucking crack head would marry her. But knowing her this must be a prank too, na bit she sounded serious.

My trail of thoughts was disturbed when she fake coughed to gain my attention.

"I cleared my throat to speak but only words came out of my mind were, Shut the fuck up you, hoe!"

"No, Agg. I'm serious I'm getting married and this is an arranged marriage. I feel like it's time for me to mature up a bit and get my shit together."

"Who gets married to get their shit together, you Dumbass?"

"I am and maybe it's the wiset thing to do. If grandpa is choosing a guy for me, he must be good. I am done with years of random dating and looking for the "Perfect One". Maybe it's the high time. Also, I'm extremely sorry about getting away from your life for so long. I just wanted some peace and mental stability, I hope you understand."

"Look, I am no one to force you to be with me all the time. I understand we are adults, if you want peace you get that peace. Mental health comes first. In no way it will effect our friendship. " After inhaling a deep breath I yelled, "THAT DOESN'T MEAN GO MARRY A GUY AND SHIT". Are you sure?, My voice softened towards the end.

"I get it, I get it you care for me and all but this is right for me. I want to get married."

"Then I am no one to complain, you better get to know him well and lead a happy life with him", I said like a proud parent.

"Enough with the wise words, now listen, clear all your schedule for next fourteen days, in first week of August. I'm having a cruise wedding and you are the organiser."

"Okay, first of all, who" does such long wedding and why me.

Cause you are my bestfriend and a future event organiser. Secondly, wedding is just for a week, it's you who will get onboard from the first stop, we'll join you on the second stop. I'm giving you a week to prepare the best wedding, you can prepare for a friend, like it shouldn't be anything less than a fairy tales. Your tickets are booked, I have sent you the list of things I want and mailed you the quotation, hope you use the same mail, that stupid one.

"Haha funny," I said while  quickly getting my laptop. Indeed she did mail me stuff. She came with her receipts. Looking at the budget quotation made my eyes popped, it enough for anyone to get married twenty time. Guy much be rich, I thought.

"But tell me about the guy?"

"I'll share everything with you on the cruise, it's two weeks from now. Til then you better get some good ideas."

"But-

Shhh

But-

Shhhhhhhhhh

I heard the line go blank.

With that I plopped my head on the pillow closed my eyes. Life sure got its interesting ways and for sure nobody wants to me complete my sentence in this life.
