"So, you've talked about this arrangement between your daughter and my son?"

"No, but I will, but I'm pretty sure she'll understand, sir."

"I have only one request. Please, don't let this marriage fail. He has been through so much. Because, I believe that only your daughter that can change him and turn him into my son, Andy."

"Alright sir, I'll work on it."

That night at Mrs. (Y/M/N) house

"Mom, I'm home!"

"Dinner's ready, sweetheart!"

I kissed my mother's cheeks.

"Oh man, look at this! Mac and cheese, my favorite! Thank you, mom!"

"How's work sweetie?"

"Hm? Everything's under control mom. Alright, let's eat!"

While I was eating, my mom look so... Idk, confused?

"What's wrong mom? Everything's okay?"

She sighed.

"Sweetheart, I want to discuss something with you. You know how much I love you, right?"

"Uh, okay, this is strange. But mom, seriously, is everything okay?"

"I made an agreement."

Whoa. Okay.

"An agreement? With who? About... What?" I gulped.

"An agreement for your marriage. With Mr. Barber's son."

"WHAT!? Mom, you must be kidding me, right? Are you joking!? Who the fuck is Mr. Barber?! And his son!? Who is he? Mom, please don't do this! You still have a chance to solve all of this problem!"

"No sweetheart, I can't! I have to do this! For your own good!"

"For my own good, really!? By forcing your daughter to marry someone she's never met?!"

"No sweetie, you don't understand!"

"I don't understand? Mom, I'm an adult! I have the right to determine my own life! You can't do this! Please, don't do this!"

"Sweetheart, before your father died, he advised me to make an arrangement marriage between you and his best friend's son. And he knew that was the right choice. And the Barber's family have agreed to this. I'm so sorry, sweetheart."

"So, you mean that father planned all of this before his death?"

She nodded.

I slumped into the cold kitchen floor and cried out loud and my mom hugged me.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart," she whispered in my ear.

After a while, I decided to take a shower, clean up and calm myself down. After showering, I decided to talk about this arrangement with my mom.

Knock, knock...

"Mom, can I come in?"

"Oh sure, come sit down with me."

"I will do it."

"Do what?"

"The arrangement. I'll marry him, Mr. Barber's son."

She seemed didn't believe my words for a second.

"A-are you sure? I-I mean, I can—"

I cut her off.

"Really mom, I'll do it. For you, dad, and of course, for my own good."

She smiled, altough the smile didn't reach her eyes. And then, she hugged me.
