Marriage
The beginning
A group of young men chilling and chatting inside a cozy cafe
Guy 1
"Can't believe finally you're getting married?"
Guy 2
"What else I literally fell from the stairs when I heard the news.? "
Guy 2
Bro,tell me Its a lie!
Evan
" Only if I could. Alas it's the truth. "
Guy 3
"You were that man who used to say. Marriage is boring.. I can never spend my life with one girl... I can't handle so much responsibility family, kids bla bla "
Guy 1
'' Dude, Are you sure? You change your girlfriend every month. I think your current girlfriend lasted the long of all.. 6 months. "
Guy 4
" Hey ; don't take stress there's something called extra marital affair. "
The table at the corner were filled with such talks, suddenly the man who had been the topic of sensation, his eyebrows crunched looking down at the phone. He picked up the call, right after that his face went pale he hurriedly got up leaving
Evan
"Guys, I gotta go. It's emergency. "
Saying that he left the warm place, it wasn't raining anymore instead of waiting for a cab he decided to start walking. A scent of refreshing rain was heavy in the air.
Evan
Me? I'm Evan, a crackhead stubborn *** from birth. There are two laws in my life -I do what I want to - and second one is to follow the first one in any circumstances.
Evan
But right now I think I'm doing or gonna be doing the worst thing in my life fulfilling my ailing grandfather's wish who is in death bed and his only last wish is to watch me getting married. My grandfather is the most important person to me in my giant family there isn't any mean I'm going against his wish. I just want him to get well soon and be on his feet again even if It costs my life.
Evan
Right then my phone rang I was supposing it to be a call from home no it wasn't. It was from Reina. I disconnected the call not ready to hear what she says. I hate noisy girls break up means it's over. Isn't it straight enough for her to understand crying and all that dramas. We weren't in love with each other or something,she was with me for my money nah my dad's money.
Evan
Yes I'm a 30 years old grown *** man who lives on his fathers cheque book though he has a good degree which can easily buy a job with handsome money. But why'd I..I gotta family with a bunch of earning man. It's not like I've to feed my wife or children. Marriage isn't my cup of tea, whole life with a girl.
Evan
Impossible, you guys are telling a man who won't listen to his.. dad's, uncles' one hour morning lecture everyday to join their family business will take over a woman's responsibility and built a family with her. Screw me. My family had already chosen a girl and in the past few days praises of her were flying all over the house. The girls I date will never ever get approved by my family.
Evan
By the way what was her name who had already charmed my whole family... Umm..Cella.,Bella, Jemma.. No no was it Ima...Devil knows.
Approval
The cab halted in front of a house name plated "Tetrazi Villa"
Evan got down looking forth in annoyance
Evan
Here comes "My Sweet Home " - Or My foot.
He stretched his arms and cracked his muscles
Evan
.After all I've to prepare myself for what is going to happen inside
Evan
The guard was standing there already opening the gate wide for me.I smiled at him. Poor he, he really works hard only if he had a rich dad like mine
Inhaling a deep breath he stepped inside
Evan
The living room is busy as always, kids running here and there. Our house remains noisy 365/24.. like a fish market
Evan
The atmosphere was telling me that all the distinguished and elderly members of my family are in my GrandFather's Room and I should be going there
The chatty room suddenly became silent with his presence
Evan
Uhh. I forgot.. From old to young everyone in this house is afraid of my temper, they know when I lose it.... The doom is forth
Evan
Take their silence as an example. I hate shitty talks
Evan's mother rushed towards him
Evan's mum
You are here. Hurry, go near Gramps. He's been asking for you since then
Evan
Ignoring everyone else I walked near my Grandfather, who was currently lying down in bed trapped with machine and tubes.
Evan
I can't bear to see the stern commando, who'd always stand straight and strong, in this position..... helpless and sick
Evan
He indicated me to come near him. I followed
Evan
He whispered in my ears, " Little Evan, I don't think I'll be able to make it for too long. Won't you let me see your wedding? "
Evan
Right then something crunched inside my stomach. "No, Gramps. Don't say like this ; I won't let anything happen to you. " I said holding his hand firmly.
Evan
After a while I stood up ; facing everyone ( It's over)
Evan
I AGREE FOR THIS MARRIAGE
Evan
In moments everyones face formed into a huge smile,they were boiling with happiness, hugging each other. My mother jumped out screaming
Evan's mum
Somebody bring the sweets
Evan
I walked out of the room. The young one's started shouting more loudly as if they were the one getting married.
Evan
I slammed the door close,I badly need a cigarette now. The noise outside kept increasing every moment
Evan
Good. Celebration of my sacrificial is going on.

She!!
Tetrazi family is one of the typical, traditional joint family. Allesino Tetrazi ( Evan's Grandfather) believes in living and eating together, so that none of his child's left behind. As a result his three sons live together under the same roof and two daughters in their respective in-laws. They do come visit him often. As a former soldier he's quite a stern man of his words. Till now, none of his children dared to go against his words.
Evan is the eldest son of his 2nd son. Evan reminds him of his youth.
He was just like him stubborn and ill tempered. Probably that's the reason he is biased towards that child
Evan
Currentlly, I'm feeling like heavens cause my huge family with their team went out, apparently at my would be in- laws house
Evan
I know the feeling won't last long as they'll be coming back anytime soon.
Evan
*SPEAK OF THE DEVILS*
Evan
I could hear screaching sounds of gate opening and car horns
Evan
I concentrated on my laptop, I feed on my dad's money doesn't mean I'm completely idle. I do have some work
Evan
Right than I heard a knock on my door; I didn't bother ro response but that someone kept knocking
Evan
The only person with so much audacity in this house is that brat.
Emad Tetrazi - Younger brother of Evan ; who is in his sweet age of 19
Emad
Bro, hurry up. Open the door. I've got an important news
Evan
That thick skinned ***...won't listen to my one.
Cursing he moved near the door
Evan said with hella annoyance
Emad walked inside the room breathing heavily
Emad
Huh..You sure you're gonna marry her
Evan
Seriously... this was your important..
Evan couldn't finish the sentence Emad said.
Emad
Don't Marry her. She doesn't deserve you.
Evan
I know that I'm too good for her, of couse it's her luck that she's gonna get such a handsome hunk as her husband without any hardship.
Emad
She deserves someone better than you
Emad
Yeah. Sis -in- law is so sweet and good. Even though she's 24, she looks younger than me..
Emad
You won't believe she's a professor of St.Morris School and College, that also Mathematics in such a young age.
Emad
She ~ A working woman, who is fulfilling all the responsibility of herself, each and every member of her huge family is dependent on her specially her father. She has been taking care of them so nicely. Like from young to old everyone was saying if they are in any problem would approach to MYRA and she'd solve them.... Surely doesn't deserve someone like you an irresponsible fella, problem creator, playboy, angry old man as well as top useless particle
Evan
What the...? First of all... Who on earth are you calling sister in law? Second of all did she hypnotise you... or something.. Emad the one who hates women is singing praise of a girl
Evan
Third of all, the words you uttered just now..if you don't have the wish of death... leave within 10 seconds
Emad
Fine. I'm going I am just worried about my poor sis -in- law.
Emad
Here there is a photo and bio data of her's
Take a look
Evan
Those things are going in the thrash can.
Emad left the room murmuring something
The pieces of papers kept lying in the table untouched for hours
Evan
Finally I got up from the laptop screen, lightning up a cigarette I went out in the balcony for some fresh air. It's midnight the streets are silent. One or two dogs are barking down in the empty alley.
Evan
Finishing it, I came back inside unbuttoned my shirt..was about to dig in the bed.. my eyes fell on the things in the table left by Emad
Evan
I took them just to throw in the bin. Right after my eyes struck on the picture, my heart leaped a beat and I was in a trance staring down at the girl... After a few minutes I came back in senses
Evan
Geez. What's wrong with me? What the hell I was doing?
Evan
I got on the bed reading the bio data. Just a glance. After all I'm getting married to her..It's not that I'm interested in her or something
Evan
Myra Jones. Prof. of Mathematics in St.Morris school and College - The best institution in the state.Hmmm..
Evan
Myra. The name sounds good. Interesting
Evan
Wait! Evan..What was it!
