Arabella POVs
Waking up in the morning after hearing my mother’s morning shout. I did my routine and brushed my hair looking in the mirror. From the mirror I can see Ms.Bed calling me to comfort her. My poor bed must be lonely all day. I can hear her sweet words. “Come here Arabella. I feel to lonely. You must be tired too. Let us rest for a bit. See I’m soft. You will feel at ease. Come hear my dear baby. Let us travel to mars peacefully. Nobody, just us, all day!” Shaking my head at Ms.bed I walked down. “Arabella do you have any appointments today?” My mom inquired with a smile. Something g is fishy Arabella. My mom would never asked me about my whereabouts. You have to get out of here right now. Not answering her question I dialed my assistant.”Clare! I would like to arrange the meeting with Mr. Martin ASAP. I will be in the office in the next ten minutes!”,I informed her and stood up. “Mom..I’m busy got to go see you later.” Kissing her cheek I’m about to escape from the place. “Stand right there Arabella Collins.” My dad’s stern voice made me stay rooted to my spot. Some big bomb is about to go off. Get ready for the war Arabella! “Take a seat”, he told me while I obeyed calmly. But inside I’m literally screaming and braking things at the table. “I have arranged a wedding proposal for you.”, he told while I relaxed. Text me the details dad. “It’s just a meeting. You should have informed my assistant”. I said relaxing in my seat stopping my leg which is dancing below the table in tension. “It’s a wedding Arabella. Not a meeting”, his words made me blink at him. I blinked at me dad and my mom. They both reflected my action. So my brain started processing his words seriously! Still processing! My brain buffed due to poor communication. Processing fast! Processed very fast! Still no comment. My brain declared its decision. I laughed hard clutching my stomach. I feel more chair still I can’t stop laughing. I rolled on the floor still clutching my stomach to stop my laughing.”What happens baby? Are you okay?”, my mom’s worried face made me stop a little. “Dad..I’m hearing words right now. I must say this is hilarious out of all my misinterpretation”, I laughed still remembering the joke that’s taking place. “Your dad is not joking baby”, my mom said placing her hand on my shoulder in worry. She is scared that I might go crazy. “Mom..stop. It’s not funny, but I must admit this prank goes on top of the list. This is hilarious!”, I said smiling. “Arabella collins. Be serious!”, my dad sighed. “Dad…I don’t get it. I really don’t.”, I asked being honest. “You are 23 dear. You have to get married.” My mom words made me dodge her hand from my shoulder. “This…is insane”, I said shaking my head in disbelief. “You are still immature. We are worried about your state princess. We want you in safe hands where someone would take care of you after us.”, his words made me upset. “Dad. I just wanted some time to myself. Of course I know I’m wrong. I do regret. I apologized and I behave. Calling me immature is making me upset. Yes I’m 23 but there is no rule that a women needs to get married before 23. I’m sorry dad. A women wedding has nothing to do with her age and her personality. I’m leaving”, I said and walked to the door. He called me immature and he wanted me to marry a random man to get mature. “Take your time, but I really want to see my little princess get married. I’m sorry I called you immature. I know you are grown enough to look after yourself. I’m selfish. I want you to give it a thought princess”, my father’s sad voice made me gulp. He is using your weaknesses Arabella. Don’t let it get in your head! Not answering him I walked to my car. I saw Isabella’s name in my caller Id. Rejecting it I took a drive to the town, one hour away from the city to find some peace. The coffee aroma relaxed my senses as soon as I entered the cafe. “Morning my dear niece.”, Aunt Emma greeted me with a smile. Aunt Emma is my father’s sister. She is such a sweetheart. I love her a lot. I look more like her. It’s not my words. It’s my father’s. “Morning aunt Em”, I hugged her. “Is something wrong dear?”, she asked worried. “Your brother arranged a marriage for me.”, I sighed. She started laughing loud attracting the customer’s attention in the cafe. “Um..I’m sorry…my niece said something really funny”, she told in a fit of laughter making the crowd laughing seeing her reaction. God..she is an amazing soul. “That very funny dear.”, she slapped my arm playfully. “Ouch! That hurts Em.”, I glared at her. “Don’t act. Now tell me what happened?”, she asked again. “I told you already”, saying I took a seat and ordered my favorite chocolate milkshake. I really really love chocolate milkshake and chocolate is my to favorite thing. I don’t think there would be any any human in the world hates chocolate milkshake. If there is one then they might not be human. After taking a sip my muscles relaxed. “Are you serious?”, she asked again as I ignored her. “Yes”, sipping on my drink as my tongue swirled in bliss. Chocolate milkshake’s are the best!!! “So what’s your answer?”, she asked composing herself. “I left”, I said getting annoyed at myself why I haven’t given a strong reply to my father. “You don’t want to hurt your dad”, she answered my untold question. “This time I’m not going to give in Em.”, I said determined in my voice. “You know that would never happen. You are too much of a daddy’s girl. Whatever your dad wish you would definitely do it for him.”, she said with happiness swirling in her eyes. “Don’t tell me you are excited about this marriage thing”, I deadpanned. “I’m excited like hell”, clapping her hands she jumped up and did a little danced. There is no way I’m like her. She is crazy. “You are crazy Em”, shaking my head I stood up. “Of course I would be crazy if i wanted to see my favorite niece getting married”, she showed he dimples. God…seeing her happiness a smile brought on my lips. Will my dad and mom would be excited like her if I chose to say yes? Arabella Collins! Don’t be crazy. You are not getting married. That’s final. Taking my car I drove to my office. I immersed myself in work. But my mind was wandering around a single thought. How to protest my family? How to protest my wedding? God this is insane!!! Wish I was reborn in mars and continue my life there!!!
