*ding dong*
Original pov~
My mom sent me to the kitchen so we could follow through with tradition where the girl comes in with coffee after a couple minutes..I guess it's like to build up the suspense or something..
Anyways, a bunch of people came into my house and I was confused who the guy with proposal was. There was about 9 people who came, a dad, a mom, a grandma, a grandpa, the dads older brother, the man that arranged this whole proposal, the guy my parents want me to marry and his younger sister.
About 15 minuets later
They spoke in Malayalam but I'll I will translate it for you
"So let's see the girl" - the dad not mine of course, my wife will get her"-my dad
My dad To my mom "will you get her"
My mom nodded and then came in the kitchen, she handed me a little tray and put 10 cups of coffee on it
"Kyanna, go pass it out"
"Mom I don't-" my mom interrupted
"Pass it out before it gets cold"
I took a deep breath and walked into our living room and handed the coffee out, one by one to each person.
"What's your occupation, Kyanna?" Asked the mother.
"This is my second year in college, I'm studying to be an oncologist"
"How much will you make year " asked the grandma
"Umm.. After 4 years of medical schools and 3 years of residency I will make $390,000 u.s dollars a year"
Her face lit up and eyes widened.
"You're really pretty, are you going to marry my brother?"- the little sister
I smiled and said "thank you and I don't know, I haven't spoke to him yet"
Suddenly this tall guy with sparkling black eyes stood up, slightly smiled and put his hand out for me to shake
"Hi I am Joshua"
"Hi, I'm Kyanna"
Most Indians (in my opinion) look kind of ugly but this boy wasn't too bad. Kyanna stop, think Shawn.
"Let's let the bride and the groom talk
privately, here come talk in this room," my mom guided Joshua and I into the mater bedroom and closed the door.
"So Joshua what do you do"
"I just graduated and am moving into a engineering, I'm also a professional dancer but my parents don't like it when I bring that up"
"Oh wow, cute and talented"
Kyanna stop, you like Shawn!
"Im really sorry about my grandma, I guess she can be a little nosy"
"Don't worry about it Joshua, my grandmother is also a little nosy"
"That's two thing we have in common"
"What's the first?"
"We're both humans"
"Uh yeah I guess?"'
"Sorry, I was trying to think of a way to say that I think you're stunning but it didn't go as planned."
" *giggles* "
"I love your laugh, Kyanna"
"Thank you, Joshua"
"You can just call me josh."
KYANNA STOP FLIRTING, YOU ARE SHAWNS GIRLFRIEND!!!
"Listen josh, I have a boyfriend and we are both really young so I don't think this marriage will work out"
"I don't care that you have a boyfriend,
I like you, and if i have to get an arranged marriage, which I do, I would like to get married to you, kyanna."
Some one knocked on the door, phew, I'm saved. "Can I come in?" -my mom
"Yes Amma, you can come in"
"Well Joshua dear, you're family is leaving, thank you for coming"
My mom and I smiled at them and waved as they got in the car. I immediately ran into my room, locked the door and started to quietly cry. My makeup was running down my face but I didn't care, I just wanted to curl up into a ball and die. Ugh. After I let all the tears out, I decide to shower because i looked like a monster. Once I got in the shower I started to cry again. I honestly have no idea why I started to cry, maybe it's because it feels like
I cheated on Shawn or maybe it's because I don't mind marrying Josh but either way, fuck tradition, I don't want an arranged marriage! I'm sick of my mother and father controlling me. I finished showering and walked into the living room. "Kyanna there you are, you took a long shower. You look puffy, you okay? Actually never mind that, I have good news, Joshua agreed to the marriage, he likes you! He also said he'll put the wedding off until you're 23/24 because that's what you want, hes so thoughtful. Are you excited?"
"Amma what do you mean?"
"You're getting married to josh"
" I never agreed to marrying josh"
"We agreed to it, we speak for you"
"Amma, I should get a say in this!"
"Your father and I know what's best for you, and Joshua is who you'll marry"
I ran off into my room and slammed the door shut. A while later I checked to see if I could change my flight to an earlier time, originally my flight is at 8:00 p.m tomorrow, so 21 hours from now, but I couldn't stand to be here. I feel controlled and trapped. I called the airport and they said they had flight for 6:45 a.m. so I changed it to that time. I packed all my things and immediately left. "Kyanna what are you doin, why do you have all the suitcases"
"Ammachee why are you up?"
"I got my inhaler. But whats going on?"
"Ammachee I'm leaving, please don't try to stop me. I can't stay here"
"Do you not like the guy? He's cute"
"Ammachee the guy is fine, but I don't want an arranged marriage, not like this, where Amma is controlling"
"Is this because of the boy? Shawn?"
"Ammachee i-" suddenly my mom walked out of her room yelling loud enough for the whole country to hear, "Boy? What boy?"
