A Marriage Based On A Promise.

Chapter 2

Layla's POV,

I have never thought that I would have to do this but this is the bitter truth of my life and I will have to suffer with this situation. While packing my stuff I was thinking this when Emer came into my room and said angrily-

" What are you doing, Layla? why are you packing your all stuff and what he is doing here? " Ooh! I got it he again came to pressurise you to marry his son, Right?

Without listening to me he started shouting at my uncle so I stopped him first and asked my uncle to wait for me in his car. As soon as Uncle Diego left, Emer held my hand and asked-" What the hell is happening here, and how can you agree to go with him?"

Emer, just calm down! Why are you getting so angry? I have decided that I will marry Roman and that's it. As soon as I said this he started unpacking my stuff and said angrily-" I think you have gone mad! I am your best friend and I will never let it happen. You are trying to become your life hell and I will not allow you to do this."

Stop it, Emer! I don't want to listen to anything. Uncle Diego is like my father and I can't let him die. I was continuously trying to convince him but he didn't. He shut my door with a bang and left from there.

Tears started flowing from my eyes as soon as he left my room. He has been my best friend since my childhood and I know he is worried about me but I can't do anything. So I wiped my tears and after locking my house I came to the car where Uncle Diego was already waiting for me.

The driver picked up my stuff and put it in the trunk and after that, we left for his house. I was continuously crying because Today I was going to an unknown place after burying all my memories here.

After a while, When the driver stopped the car I looked outside and was shocked after watching the luxurious bungalow. Before today I had never seen a bungalow like this, it is such a beautiful place. I was looking at the bungalow when Uncle Diego opened the door of the car and said-

" Come my daughter from today this is your house, come inside." I was still shocked because I never thought about it even in my dreams that I could live in such a beautiful palace.

As soon as I reached inside, Uncle Diego's wife came in front of me who was looking very horrible by her expressions. As she was coming closer to me, my heart was beating faster. " Where had you gone since morning? We were all worried about you. And Who is this girl and what is she doing in our house? "

As soon as she saw me, his wife started asking questions and I was quietly listening to her. But without answering his wife's questions he asked her-" Where is Roman? " But when she didn't reply to him then he said while shouting at her-" Are you deaf? I am asking you something. Where the hell is Roman? "

Uncle had just shouted when Roman also arrived. " What happened, Dad? Why are you shouting at my mumma? " As soon as he entered, my eyes were fixed on him. He is more handsome than I imagined. I was looking at him when Uncle said to me-" You come with me, daughter. I show you your room."

And Roman, you meet me at my office right now with your mom, I want to talk to you both. Telling both of them he brought me to the guest room and said-" You take rest, sweetheart and take it, this is your bridal gown. I have decided to get you married tomorrow so take a rest and I will send your dinner to your room. "

He left my room and I was still looking at the bedroom. This is really a luxurious place but still, I missed my own house. And I am worried about tomorrow when Aunt Josefa will know about me then how she will treat me.

I was feeling very tired, so as soon as I lay down on the bed, I did not even realize when I fell asleep.

The Next Early Morning,

I woke up to some noises coming from outside my room. It was 8:00 am morning, so I left my bed and came outside to find out what was happening outside.

Uncle Diego had made all the preparations for my marriage but just as I had thought, Aunt Josefa would never accept me as her daughter-in-law, and the same was happening. They both were fighting together because of me.

As soon as she looked at me, she came towards me and was about to slap me when Uncle Diego held her hand and said-" I don't want any trouble here if you don't want to marry your son to Layla then get out of my house and remember one thing I will evict you from my property. "

Listening to him I was scared because I didn't want this, so I started trying to calm him and said-" Uncle please be calm, please don't fight, if she doesn't want me here then I will not live here but please you calm down. "

After saying this as soon as I was about to leave, Roman came there and said-" Dad, I am ready to marry her. I will do everything that you will ask me to do but please treat my mother well."

'This is what I expected from you my son, I hope your mother also understands this soon.' After saying this to Roman, he asks me to get ready so I come back to my room.

I have never thought that my marriage would be organised like this but I have to accept the reality. While thinking this my eyes become moist and I wipe my tears and come straight to the washroom.

After taking a shower I came out of the washroom and took my gown from the wardrobe. The gown was so pretty as well as expensive.

I miss you so much Mumma, I had never thought that I would have to get married without you at all. I was thinking this when my door knocks.

"Layla, Are you ready? Father Josef, has come, so please come fast."

This is Uncle Diego's voice, So without delay, I got ready and came outside where only a few members were present and I was shocked after seeing that.

"So you want to get Roman married to this uneducated girl, Uncle, what was your compulsion that you had to make this village girl your daughter-in-law? Just look at her face once, does anyone get ready like this on the wedding day?"

As soon as I came out of the room, a tall girl looked at me and started saying these things which were very embarrassing for me. But while ignoring these things I went and stood near Father Joseph but Uncle Diego held my hand and replied to her-

" Anna, who told you that she is uneducated? She is my daughter and if you don't like her then you can leave. And as far as I remember, I have not invited you to my son's wedding, so if you have any problem with this wedding then you can leave.

As soon as he said this, Anna glared at me, picked up her purse and went away from there."

'What is this dad? You insulted her, She is my best friend how can you misbehave with her?' As soon as she leaves, Roman says to his father with aggression.

When she was insulting your would-be wife that time you have to say this not yet. Just forget it and come I don't want any type of delay now.

"Please make silence and you both bride and groom come near to me." Listening to Father, we both came near to him. Do you, Roman take Layla as lawfully wedded wife? As soon as Father Josef asked this to him, he started looking at my face.

After a while, he replied-" Yes, I do her as my wife." Okay, 'Do you Layla, take Roman as your wedded husband?'

"Yes, I do."

(You both please sign in this register!) After which one by one we signed in that register which was the proof of our marriage.

From today you both are a married couple and the last thing, The groom have to kiss her wife. Listening to Father josef he kissed on my forehead and left from there.

"Layla, you must be tired, go and rest in your room. I will come and meet you in your room."

After listening to Uncle Diego I came back to my room and after lock the door I came in front of the mirror and start looking at myself.

I threw away my gown and started crying bitterly. Every day here will be like a prison for me, whoever wants to will say whatever he wants to me. No one understands me except Uncle Diego. While crying, darkness started appearing before my eyes and I fell on the bed.
