In My Feelings

Dave

The next day

Last night I couldn't sleep early, I was busy thinking about the so called options dad gave me, both of them are errors

At first I decided on Mia, but I don't think I will be able to deal with her, I hate her guts, hell, I don't even want her anywhere around me, she's too lousy and disorganized, but this other girl, she is also trouble on her own and I am still mad about what she did to me

She shouldn't have done that cause I am definitely going make her pay, dad said she has this illness and now that I think of it, it has only made things easier for me, I will marry her just to teach her a permanent lesson she would never forget, and her sickness would be to my favor as I'll live my life the way I want and so would she

So I've decided to go for her, I can't wait to teach her a lesson of her life, I told mummy and dad about my decision and mummy seemed quite happy about it, it seems she likes the girl already

Whatever, I'll still get my revenge one way or another, she showered me with blessings before I left for work

Anna

I was in the kitchen, when Shalom came in

"What are you making?" She chirped

"Meat pie" I said simply not looking up from what I was doing

"Wow, can I have some" she gave me the puppy dog eyes, I shook my head and nodded at the tray of meat pies I already made

"Be careful, it's still quite hot" I said

"Sure" she said and took a bite "mmm..... This is yummy" she complimented and took another bite

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, dad asked me to call you" she said nonchalantly

"Me??" I raised a brow and she nodded

"Why??" I asked again

"I don't know but it looks like it's something important, who knows maybe he's getting you married" she chuckled and I glared at her, I removed my apron and used a napkin to clean my hands

"Where is he?" I inquired "In his study" she said while typing away on her phone "take care of my meat pies" I said and walked out, I went straight to his study

When I got there, I entered, I met him doing only God knows what

"Dad, Shalom said that you wanted to see me" I said

"What took you so long" he finally looked up from what he was doing

"Well, she just informed me about it right now" I said

"Never mind, have a sit" he said and I sat opposite him as though I was here for a job interview, he closed the files in front of him and returned his attention to me

"Well my dear, this thing I want to talk to you about is very important and maybe life changing but just know that I am not going to force into anything, if you don't want to, then it's okay with me" he paused as if to be sure that I was following what he was saying and I nodded for him to continue

"Well, Anna I don't want to offend you in anyway, but I am your father and I want what is best for you" he paused again and I waited for him to go on "Anna, you know exactly what your condition is, and you know that it'll be hard for someone in your place to get married to the person of your choice and you know the reason why, without wasting much time, I'd like to tell you that my friend and business partner, Mr. Aram is willing to get his son married to you" he announced and all of a sudden, the room fell silent, you could hear a pin drop and dad was looking at me anxiously, I broke the silence "does his son know about my condition" I asked "yes but I am not going to force you into anything, just say if you don't want this and..." "Okay" I blurted, cutting him off

"Pardon???" he looked shocked

"I said I'm okay with the marriage, I don't have a problem" I said and his face lit up immediately, he was all smiles

"Alhamdulillah" he said as he stood up and crossed over, giving me a warm hug "may GOD bless you and fulfill all of your demands my dear" he prayed for me

"Amen" I responded and excused myself, I went back to the kitchen where I met Shalom sitting on one of the high stools where I left her, STILL eating a meat pie which is definitely not the one I gave her and was pressing her phone "SHALOM, don't tell me you exhausted the meatpies I made" I said as I scanned the kitchen for any signs of my meat pies

"No no, I didn't, I only had three extra, that's all, it's just so yummy I couldn't resist" she said with an apologetic smile, which looked fake by the way

"Huh, what will I do with you" I shook my head

"Correction, what will you do without me" she grinned and I rolled my eyes

"Uhhum, you haven't told me what happened between you and dad" she inquired

"Well your prediction turned out to be true, he wants to get me married to his friend's son" I said simply

"WHAT! all of a sudden??, why!? And to which of them?? Did you agree to it??? Is it..." I interrupted

"Whoa, calm down, you don't have to panic okay, I'll answer your questions one at a time, just don't freak out" I passed her a glass of water and she gulped it down and looked at me anxiously

"Well the reason why he wants to get me married is because he thinks that for someone like me who is incapable of rang in love to like me who is incapable of falling in love to find someone who is willing to marry me is almost impossible and he thinks that his friend's son is so good and if we get married, he will take care of me, but I don't blame him and I am not complaining, he just wants what is best for me after all, and, I don't really have a say when it comes to stuffs like this" I said and she nodded silently with her now teary eyes

"Did he tell you which of them, he was talking about?" She inquired in a croaked voice

"I don't know, but I think it's the one I had a fight with" I poured some juice into a glass

"Wait what??! And you agreed to the marriage???"She looked at me with wide eyes

I looked at her quizzically "yes, why does this guy intimidate you so much, it seems his sisters did a great job of scaring you away" I mused as I sipped my juice

"I am scared for you sis, you never know what he is capable of doing especially after what happened between you two" she gasped suddenly "do you think that is the reason why he agreed to marry you?!" She said thoughtfully

"Calm down Shalom, he won't be able to do anything to me okay" I convinced her "I hope so" she said and hugged me "I wish I could do something about your illness cause you deserve so much better" she said and I let out a small smile

But for some reason, I think what she said is true because I also don't see the reason why someone like him will agree to get married to an emotionless person, but I shrugged the thought away
