Ayaan’s POV

               Rachael and I were fighting about some Bollywood stuff and making a chaos  suddenly dad announced  that in evening we are going to meet my in-laws. This sentence made me want to puke my guts out. We immediately stopped fighting and we all were looking at dad as he is some kind of alien along with my mom Rachael and her  mom. My mom was almost going to faint but gained composure as it is not very uncommon for Indian parents to suddenly declare their children’s wedding. Arrange marriage happens often in India its very common but still I am still confused about many things and my dad’s announcement always comes at  bad timings.

          I was waiting for the word "Got you" but that never came. "Pa' stop joking around " I said but dad was looking dead serious."Papa are you serious , I am not ready for a marriage and take responsibility." I  shouted. "Pa' I am still studying, I still need to make my career first, have a stable job then I will think about my marriage."

        "Do you think I don't know what are you doing here I am your dad, son I know your each step here I have my connections here too. You never entered your college and used you allowances to setup a stupid bakery shop here with Rachael." I got stunned in my place along with Rachael. “ I always wanted you to take your decisions independently and there you are making decisions for your self.”

       “ I  let you do what you want but your grandpa  promised his bestfriend that their grandchildren  will get married when they are at their perfect age and I got a call at the beginning of this year from my godfather’s son who is my best friend as well that his child is at right to get married. I asked for more time as  you were mama’s boy at that time and I think I have given enough time for you to be able to run business  along with your soon to be husband”, he stated  proudly . I don’t get what is he feeling proud about. Suddenly I fell Rachel’s strong gaze on me as it is drilling hole in my skin, just then I realized what it is all about. Whaaaat!!! A husband?? Before fainting I asked my friend to drill a hole for me so that I can hide there forever and in meantime I heard my mom’s dramatic sobbing.

Author’s POV

       Andrew was shocked as well after he was told that he is gonna meet his in laws today. He was kinda expecting this because his parents will use any situation in making  benefit to their business. He internally cursed his grandpa for making such promise to his friend and for taking the decision of giving  entire fortune of Parker’s empire to soon to be bride. Now he never hoped that he could change the decision  of his parents because he knows that it is highly impossible.

       There Ayaan was still confused as he didn’t have an idea where his life is leading him too. Nonethless he turned into a sharp looking young man this evening thanks to his friend. His thoughts revolved around that rich man and Chris. He questioned himself was he really destined to be a bride to a man and convinced himself maybe this is it for this life.

         Rachel found Ayaan lost in thoughts and tried to cheer him up, she said “Thanks to your brown eyes and slender body, if not for them you would have had more chances to be rejected by your fiancé this evening..hahaha.” That made Ayaan remember a typical matchmaking scene in Indian serials, he got goosebumps all over his body. He slowly asked his friend in hope , “ Do you think that he will reject me?? I never thought about it. Rachel, if it happens drill a yet big hole for me.” “Then what did you expect he will shed happy tears by seeing you. We even don’t know if he was gay. If he is not then he might as well be in shock like you and accepted this meeting for the sake of his parents. Ayaan its not good for you. You know right if happens against your will, I am just one call away, okay?” Rachel spoke assuringly.

        “Are  you ready, son?” Raj asked as he came into the room. “As if I have another choice, I don’t understand you are very addicted to fulfilling dead man’s wish while neglecting your son who is still alive.” Ayaan cried out . Tears started falling without his permission. “Its not how you speak about your grandpa, Ayaan”, Raj shouted in anger. Rachel tried to console his friend but Ayaan shrugged off and sat in the car.

Rachel’s POV

      I never thought that I would get to see a live drama. The worst part is that it involved my family. Yes I consider Ayaan as my little brother. After my fathers death my mother had only Tina as a family she is like my second mom. Raj and Tina always sees us both as their family. My mom got some share of dads for business partners as she never wanted to be a partner in the business she cant handle. She believes its all pretending that goes  in wealthy families. I feel the same too. I felt bad for Ayaan. All I could do was making him look handsome so that the billionare’s son would accept him according to Uncle's will.  I know Ayaan is so cute and kind person no one can reject his cute charm but I am worried about him. I known for the fact that if Raj Uncle want something he gets it for sure. If that  billionaire asshole hurt my brother he would face the consequences. If this guy is the right one for my Ayaan I would be more than happy.

    We all sat in the car and headed towards a mansion in the outskirts of the city. I wondered why they are staying in the lonely place but realized wealthy people has weird tastes.
