HIS WORLD

The day I got married was the beginning of my nightmare. I never thought I would get married this way. I have always imagined romantic scenarios in my head like his calm, deep voice, sexy body..... many things. I just can't believe I married the person I hated most in my life. Let's start from the beginning..... My name is Mary. I am the first child of my family. I came from a very wealthy home, I lack nothing. My mum, Mrs Vivian Andy, am always happy. She's my mum, my dad, Mr Andy. He's the best dad in the whole world, but also strict. Let me not forget about my sister Abby. She's a cancer patient, she's always going to the hospital. It all started one sunny afternoon when my dad received a call. Since then, the house has become a sad home. Our workers started reducing, no more shopping, fancy car, and no more daddy girl. The police came to our house one morning. They arrested my dad. My dad was in police custody for three days. When he came back, he looked stressed. My dad looked at me and 'sighed'. Tears rolled down from his eyes, he said he couldn't control it. My mum petted him like a baby. Everyone was silent for ten minutes before my dad broke the news, “Mary, you are getting married in three days, your husband's family will arrive tomorrow for the preparation”. It is just like I am hearing voices. I looked at my dad. “You are joking, right? I looked at my mum too. ”Mum, say something “but the environment was like everything had been, concluded. I just had to obey the order. My dad walked to his room without a word while my mum followed him. I stood there for some minutes thinking, I slapped my chin with both my hands and laughed like a lunatic. I told myself it was a dream that when I woke up tomorrow everything would be back to normal. Waking up the next day, I saw my mum looking at me smiling. Oh my gosh, you scared the s**t out of me. Are you watching me while I sleep now? My mum just smiled, she used her hand to shove my hair into the back, then she held my hands affectionately. She looked at me.” Mary, I want you to know that we love you so much. I know you may not understand now. Believe me, when you grow up more you will understand”. I removed her hand and come down from the bed.” Seriously mum, I don’t know what you are talking about. My mum held my two shoulders and turned my face in her direction. ”Look at me Mary, very soon you will turn into a woman. You are getting married in two days. You need to stop being childish and … hold on… Hold on … mum… I raised my left hand to pause her. “I am seventeen. I can’t get married. I thought you and dad were just pranking me yesterday, so I won’t ask what happened at the station. This is not a prank or a joke. You are getting married for real.... I chucked 'like for real Yes, for real. I started using my hand to scratch my head. I screamed like I was in pain, which scared my mum. I rushed and opened the door saying"I need to talk to dad… he is joking..... It must be a prank… my mom ran after me. I couldn’t find my dad in his room, so I checked the study room. He was making a call. Immediately he saw me, he dropped his phone. I rushed in, raising my voice. Call whoever you promise to give me to. I am not getting married. Look Mary, the marriage has been analyzed and approved… My who? By who, dad? Me Mary, me your father!!!! I froze. My dad has never raised his voice at me before or looked angry the way he is now. I moved closer to my dad and looked at him, right in his eyesball. "Are you sure you are my dad? Because I have never seen a father that gives his child out at the age of seventeen. Mum, is this a normal thing or am i a bastard !!!! My father could not control his anger anymore. All I heard was the sound of a slap landing on my left cheek close to my ear because that word bastard pissed him up, which made my mum even shocked, because my dad had never raised his hand on me before. Tears rolled down from my cheek as I held my cheek with my hands. 'AM NOT GETTING MARRIED AND THAT IS FINALLY”. I stormed out of the room in tears. You should’ve done that, Andy! You should’ve raised your hands on our daughter. What do you want me to do, Vivian? What! Ague with a..... my mum cut in immediately Yes, argue Andy! Argue! You should tell her the reason why you are doing this. Tell her yourself. My dad continues with his phone call. Later in the evening, my husband's family arrived. My dad welcomed them while my mum gave them refreshments. My husband's mum, Mrs Helen, said she wanted to see me. My dad and my mum looked at themselves. My mum knocked on the door but i didn't answer. I was crying, I just couldn't help it. My mum entered my room. She looked at me, 'My angel, you are the only one that can save this family and your father' or else your father would go to jail. What? jail!! Yes. Your father's partner, Mr Fredric, ran away with the contract money. Your father needs to deliver the project or refund the money, but you know your father…he started the project using all his...and Alex... I cut in immediately.
