What a pleasant evening it is. As I was driving my open jeep while feeling the cool fresh air filled with the earthy scent on my face and trying to calm my nerves. I reached there at 7:15 entering the café. My eyes started searching his face, then I spotted him seating at the back, near the window talking on his phone as if sensing someone's gaze on him he looked in my direction and made his way towards me giving me a charming smile.
"Hey, Beautiful"
"Hi, sorry I am late"
"No problem, this way"
He puts his hand on the small of my back and lead me to a table by the window. He pulled out the chair for me and adjusted it before moving away and sitting across from me , I watched his interchange with the waiter. After the order arrived the waiter left us alone.
"I like this place. Have you been here before? " His voice was steady as he watched her looking around.
"No, I haven't. But it seems nice. " I looked at the interior the café was nice with wooden furniture and floor and its best for a hangout session. I'll definitely come here again with my friends.
"So what you wanted to talk about" I asked not wanting to prolong this meeting.
"Us" he said with a look in his eyes that I can't understand or don't want to understand at all.
"What about us ?" I asked a little skeptical about where the hell this conversation is going.
"Our marriage of course. What else" he asked with a questioning gaze.
Oh Hell no, I was expecting him to say no to this alliance straight out at our first meeting but no he got me all types of confused what the hell is wrong with him. Why won't he say no to this forced f*****g marriage and what does he expect from me to jump on his offer or to be f*****g pleased that I am going to marry him with his reputation. He should be rude and blatantly say no but no he is ready to take a step further. He is scaring me now. Okay now is the time to put an end to this I don't want to spend anymore time with him.
"Yeah I also wanted to talk about it and make everything clear" I said in monotone.
"Yeah go ahead ask me anything you want to ask after all there should be no secrets between soon to be husband and wife" he said with a teasing smile.
"I can't marry you" I said with a nonchalant face.
It was the wrong thing to say. I watched a look come over his face that almost scared me. A dark expression took over his face his onyx eyes almost dark with anger, his jaw set in a hard line and his fist clenched on the table. The shift in his features was riveting.
"Why" he said the word with gritted teeth like he was controlling himself from snapping.
Okay I have to make him see sense and deal with the final blow carefully. I have to make it seems like its all my fault and he has nothing to do with it. I have to soothe his ego so he don't go all crazy on me for hurting his ego and s**t. I have read way too many novels to know how men turn to be when they can't have what they want.
"Look it doesn't have anything to do with you. Its all on me. I can't marry you because its your name. Your name is the same of my ex boyfriend and whenever I look at you I can't help but remember him. I am really sorry but its hard for me. I hope you understand and to make this easy you don't have to tell say anything to your parents or mine. I'll talk to them and make them understand that its you who can't marry me because you didn't like me. It will all be good then no one will question you about anything. I try to make him understand. Okay time to leave or more like flee now.
I stood up taking my bag with me.
"I have to be somewhere so I think I'll tale my leave. Its was nice meeting you'' and I turn and walk out from there he didn't try to stop me or demand any further explanation maybe he was too shocked to react or maybe my luck is good or whatever is the reason of his non expressiveness is I am glad he wasn't difficult to deal with. Or so she thought she wasn't aware of the havoc that she created just now.
I was stunned will be the understatement of the world she remember her ex boyfriend every time she looked at me. How f*****g dare she compare me to her ex or think of him in my presence. Its f*****g funny if she thought I would accept every f*****g word she said and sit still. And what did she said about telling to our parents that I didn't like her. She really got me twisted with rage. I really f*****g want to kill that bastard of her ex right now and erase his memory from her brain so that she won't think of him ever. Did she really think I will let her go that easily after she messed up with my brain like that. I was a second away from grabbing her and dragging her out of here to some secluded dark corner to show her that I am not even a thing like her ex. She have to let her ex go I'll erase his every f*****g memory from her brain and fill her brain, heart and soul with my memories so that I will be the only thought that fill up her pretty little head. I have to go home and tell dad to start the preparations for the wedding. You will be mine soon.
At night when she entered her house she straight up ran to her parents room and told them everything excluding the part of the ex. She told them he was a playboy and what were even her parents thinking agreeing to this alliance her parents were shocked with all the details and straight up called kabir father to tell him no for this alliance. They were polite with the refusal and didn't use insulting words for his son.
