My broken shades

RUNNING AWAY

CHAPTER-19

RUNNING AWAY

Liya's P.O.V

I woke up at 9.00 am, someone was unlocking my room's door. I sat up on my bed and waited to see who it was. "Get in! Fast! We don't have time" Jim said to Lucy, Joe, and Matt. After seeing them I again laid down not wanting to talk to anyone. Once everyone was in Jim locked the door from inside. Lucy jumped on me and the guys sat on the edge of the bed. Joe was the one to start the conversation "Mr. Thomas wants you to get married to Chris, and if I say the truth, what's wrong if we both get married?" I chuckled and said "hah! Maybe he thinks you are not capable of me!... By the way Jim how did you get the spare keys?" He shrugged and said "God knows! Maybe I became a thief for my sister!" Matt saw us with disgust "can we talk about the most important topic, please" he said. Lucy and I both exchange a look and started laughing, she said "aww! Matt, are you getting bored?" Jim seemed to be pissed off, "can we be serious? We don't have much time" All of us agreed with him and then he asked us our opinions for stopping this forceful marriage. 

Heck! None of them came up with any ideas! I huffed and said, "let's go!" All of them asked me at the same time "WHERE!" I looked at them and said "if you all don't have any idea, we both can run away... And guess what, I challenged dad that I will run away!" I hoped that they will agree but they said "no! we must face the problems rather than running away" I huffed and got up from my bed. "Looks like then I have to get married to Chris... To be honest he is handsome" I said. Lucy said, agreeing with me "of course he is, and I am so jealous of you Liya that you are getting married to him!" The guys looked jealous!... Then we all tried our best to serious, I couldn't believe that I was enjoying the moment when I had to cry or do something like that...

Only thirty minutes were left for Robet to return with a fashionista said, Jim. All of them hugged me and left! Again I have to stay here in the prison. I walked to the bathroom and, took a hot shower. Huff! Nothing to do, I checked my mobile just for timepass and found plenty of messages from CHRIS! UGHH! I hate him, he was asking me to choose the dress for him to wear at his wedding, oh I mean my wedding...OUR WEDDING! Hope everything works as we planned! I took the screenshots and sent them to Joe... I heard someone unlocking the door and jumped on the bed acting like I was reading my novel. It was the fashionista and Robet. The fashionist had all white color dresses, I know brides wear white gowns, etc. but I am not interested in those crazy types of dresses... After all, they all are the same. I chose the long-delayed gown with long butterfly sleeves. It looked better than the others at least. 

***(1 DAY LATER)***

I wore the gown and started applying some makeup stuff. I shivered when I heard a sudden voice from behind. "May I?"I turned back to see who was it "auntie! What a pleasant surprise! How come you are here? Wait leave that, did you see the bastard with whom dad wants me to get married?" She chuckled and said "yeah, I saw him but the most important thing, is just get ready, you have to leave at any time. And anytime means anytime! By the way, did you write any goodbye note to your dad?" I nodded and showed her the note which was kept on the table, she read it loudly "Dad, Hope you will be happy to see that I won the challenge... Bye!" We both chuckled and Lucy brought a girl in our room. She was Chris's ex. We asked her to help us get out of this matter and hopefully, she agreed. We all then went on our ways to proceed with the plan.

I walked out being excited for seeing the disaster that is going to happen! As soon as I reached the church I found Lucy and Roseanna already in a taxi. I showed them thumbs up and walked inside with auntie. Chris and Roseanna were together since they were sixteen and they broke up recently three months before because Chris was not interested in her anymore. Playboy! Wow great. I walked there and the father of the church asked "Mr. Chris Strokes and Ms. Liya Bence, have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?" Chris replied, "I have". The father turned to me waiting for my answer. Auntie whispered in my ear "answer Liya" I slowly opened my mouth to say my answer "I-I ha... excuse me! I need some personal time" the father nodded and I left without waiting for anyone. I texted Lucy "let her in just in five minutes."  I then walked back slowly where the father and Chris were standing. I said sorry so that it doesn't look awkward. The father again asked me the question and within seconds before I reply Roseanna was standing on the entrance clapping loudly. The game begins now! I widened my eyes acting like I was shocked. "Good Chris in fact awesome! You left me because you are not interested in me now, but what do you see in this b***h!" I chuckled lowly. "What the heck is happening here? And who the hell is she to say me a b***h. If you wanted to do my insult, there were many other ways to do so but great that you planned to do my insult in a church" I said. He held my hand trying to explain to me but I forcefully pushed him.

Running away from your problems is a race you will never win,

 so just face them head-on, and overcome them.

 If you build the guts to do something, anything,

 then you better save enough to face the consequences.  {A short proverb based on the episode.}
