~Same School

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 day, 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.”

“But uncle I don’t think it’s necessary for me to go school, I can work from now on.” I became happy for first time hearing Lily. “ I had already passed out my 10th board, and I know programming and drawings, so I think I can easily get a job.”

‘yeah you will get a job just don’t agree on going to school, I don’t want my image to get down because of you’ I was wondering in my mind.

“no, you just can’t say no, you are going to school, do you want that your uncle should take his words back from the principal, I always used to stick to my words.” My dad should really get an Oscar award.

“but isn’t the principal your friend, he will listen to you…” I try to interrupted but failed seeing my dad’s glare.

“no…that is not what I mean…but I think I should think about that.” Lily said.

“ Lily, you should listen to your uncle” Lily’s mom said “you are too young to enter the business line, first study well and you will get much more benefits ahead”.

“okay then…” she stared at me with a scared look, seems like she wasn’t wanting to go with me but I really started enjoying it.
