Xavier's Pov
I don't know what I was thinking that I mailed Arunima to prepare for the upcoming annual charity event and that too when she has not even fully joined the company. Maybe I should not have done that.
À
Yes you should not have.A voice piped up in my head.Before I could think anything else my phone rang. Seeing the caller ID I lnew I could not ignore the call so I picked up.
"Hey mom" I said.
"Xavier Lucas Knight. Why were you not picking my call from a week?" I had to remove the phone away from my ear. Yeah she was that loud. None likes to get my mom angry. She can be really bad when she is angry.
"Calm down sweetheart." I could hear my dad voice from behind who was trying to cool down my mom.
She huffed," fine come over for lunch today. We are going to talk then. Take care my boy"
"I will mom. See you at lunch." I smiled and cut the call.
After a couple of hour I drove my car to my parents house.
I rang the bell and soon one of the housekeepers opened the door. "They are in the living room Mr. Xavier." the man said. Inodded and went towards living room.As soon as I reachex the living room I saw that not only my mom and dad but also my friends were present.
"What are you all doing here" I asked them.
"Mrs. Knight called us and told us that you and Advay were coming over for lunch so we also came over". Ronald answered.
"Its been a long time man" Advay and I gave each other a bro hug. Advay was a very close friend to all four of us. He also managed all our legal matters. He was more like a brohher to me. When he was 18 his parents died in a car crash but my fatrher took him under his protection as he was his friend's Mr. Singh'son. Since then he has been living with our family. So he is more like a younger brother to the four of us.
"Okay so let's go to the dining area." My mom said and turned to go. We all followed and soon the lunch was served. We all were having our lunch and having small talks when suddenly my mom said" So Advay, you have your wedding after five months right?"
"Yes aunty." He replied.
"But we have still not met the girl. We have only talked with her and had a vedio chat once . When are you going to take us to her home to meet her?" My mother asked.
"Actually aunty Simran was saying the same thing. So we have decided that after two weeks its dusshera and their uncle and aunt will also come here and it will be good that all elders will meet that day itself." He said.
"Okay fine. We will go then." My mother said. "When are you going to get married Xavier?"
I chocked on my food. "Why are you talking about me. It's Advay who is getting married. Let's focus on that first." I tried to dodge the question.
"You are already 28 Xavier. When I was your age I was already married to your mother." This time my father spoke. "Furthermore your reputation of being a playboy is not helping your position. So its better if you find a girl and get married within two months or you have to marry a girl to our liking."
"Are you like serious dad? My personal life has nothing to do with my professional life. And what if I don't get married?" I asked. I was quite frustrated now. I am 28 for gid sake. He can't control my life anymore.
"Maybe your position of CEO will be 8n jeopardy my son." He said very calmly but I was fuming with anger. But before I could reply Ronald joined in the conversation.
"You don't need to worry about that Mr. Knight. Xavier is already infatuated by a girl."
"And by girl we mean a beautiful Indian girl. I think Xavier likes Indian girl." Aliester also jumped into the conversation.
My mom beamed and clapped her hands" if Xavier likes indian girls then what about Simran's elder sister. Simran has an elder sister right Advay?" to which Advay nodded.
"I am not going to get married to a woman I don't even know" I said.
"You are not getting married Xavier. You are just going to meet her and if you like her then may thalk about marriage." She said.
I knew that I could not get out of this situation so I just nodded. But when they mentioned an Indian girl the only image that came into my mind was of Arunima.
Well finally the lunch ended with me glaring at my friends for dragging me into this mess and smiling and laughing at my misery. Such good friends I have got!(note the sarcasm)
