I got in and started unpacking my stuffs, and was thinking that how my life changed just in one day and again my tears that were hidden started flowing out. But suddenly Ivan entered my room, I became embarrassed that someone was seeing me cry, I hurriedly rubbed my face with towel. I can see him in his earlier state only that was with a rude face.

I asked, “What happen?”

“Till when are you planning to stay here?” he said

“What?” I asked in confusion.

“What a dumb, when are you going to leave?” he directly asked with an irritating face.

I was a little surprised with his words. “Aren’t you going to reply me?” he asked like he was out of patience.

“I…I don’t know” I hesitated as I even don’t know what was going to happen with me. While he was giving me a dangerous gaze.

“Leave from here as soon as you can”, he left the room saying this, when I was wondering what the heck he was babbling.

IVAN’S POV:

My life was going to be fulfilled as I thought that now I can shift in America with my whole family but sudden appearance of a girl and her mom made my life stuck at that place only. I heard the conversation from behind the door between my mom-dad, and that aunty. My mom seems to be unhappy because of them, while my father seems like he had already taken responsibility of them.

“…I have to take responsibility of Lily as it was decided that she will be mine daughter-in-law, I have promised Jay (lily’s father) about this.” Dad said like he was out of patience, while I became dumb folded thinking that what did they took me for? how can I marry a girl with whom I have no feelings at all. I attached my ears from door.

“but she is not wife of Ivan still, so why you have to take care of her whole family matters?” said my mom pointing indirectly towards Lily’s mom.

“what do you mean by whole family matters?” now dad started shouting “even if they aren’t my relatives but they are still my bestfriends . how can I leave her when I already know what happen to Jay?”(*Lily’s mom, Lily’s dad and Mr.Raj were colleagues)

“do you even know how it will affect Ivan? We aren’t even able to go U.S, now bringing a girl just because of a mere promise?” now my mom started shouting that I can clearly hear everything from behind the door.

“mere promise?”I can sense that my dad was became red from anger.

Before my dad could say anything Lily’s mom started crying, “ please…please don’t fight because of this. I promise once I get a house to live, I will leave from here.”

It seems like she was begging my mom, and she agreed because my mom seems to be heavy-hearted but she is very soft-hearted from inside.

I rushed toward guest house before they open the door, where I see Lily was crying just like her mom, I know I am emotion-less, but I also didn’t wanna give any hope to a girl who was chosen to be my bride. I directly stated her to move out of my house as soon as possible. I even didn’t know whether she knew about being my bride or not.

Next new morning was not same as beautiful yesterday, I can sense that my mom was angry with my dad while we all five, were doing breakfast.

“Ivan, take Lily with you to your school.” Dad said which made me bite my tongue, I look toward my mom and can see that she already knew about it (that was why she was angry). “I have talked with principal of your school.”
