Destiny : Play Of Fate

the marriage contract

TRISTON

" Annie be my date for dance....." I said

as we were dancing suddenly people started screaming " FIRE, .....RUN".

I look toward building in which my family enter few moments ago..... I run towards building but Annie grasp my hand holding it tight . "let me go Annie everyone is there let me go ....all will die ....let me go....let me go.... " "wake up TRIS"..........

"WAKE UP".... I open my eyes to see Luke and rich on my side waking me up.

" that dream again" Luke

asked concern entering his eye. " 11 years tris... it happens 11 years ago " stop blaming yourself for that it wasn't your mistake. " But I send them in that building it was my fault " " No bro it wasn't your fault....and we love you.. you know how expensive is my love .dont waste it" Richard said pouting. me and Luke roll our eyes and said "SHUT UP RICH" I know its rude but you dont know this drama king yet.

11 years since that incident, 11 years without our parents , 11 years just we 3 brothers and my grand maa, 11 years without my Annie and I dont know she is alive or not and dont know about her sis Ginny. we brother became inseparable since that incident.

" BRO...... I said I'm hungry and I want something made by you not that cook" whined my 16 year old brother. when he is going to actually grow up I thought looking at Luke fully knowing his thoughts mirror mine.... " aren't you on diet" question Luke. " today is my slip day and I want to eat pizza made by 3 of us .... so come in kitchen "

after the pizza and some more drama of our drama king I get ready for important meeting with Steel for a major buiseness deal. this is important buiseness deal for me it will get my buiseness to another level . I hope Mrs steel do this deal with me ........... I call Smith my secretary and tell him to meet me at Mrs steels office directly as going to my office will be late now. Smith was there before I get there.

" is everything ok with presentation....have you cross check everything? " ..."yes sir"

" Mr Crick. ..the rising billionaire nice to meet you...have a seat" Mrs steel greet as I enter her office. "its nice to meet you too Mrs Steel " we talk about business for some time then Mrs Steel said something which shock me to core......

" You have excellent reputation for buiseness and I love to do a business with you ...but this deal come with contract.....a marriage contract"

"WHAT" I said shockingly. A lot of things going through my head ..... a promise I gave to Anisha My annie ... I know it was promise given in play when we were 15 but it does mean something to me and I still miss her I know she might not be alive but how can I forget her how.....but this deal was important not for only me but my family too. I know they said they love me whether I have money or not but it requires to be safe. it's not about me it's about them and I know for sure annie understand wherever she might be family comes first to her also.

" I know what are you thinking..how terrible mom iam to do that to my own daughter but I have only one child and I'm single mom ......and I want her in good hand and everyone knows how you value your family.and she will be family after marriage....and she agrees to these ..." " I agree" I said even though I don't know who her daughter is ..cause it didn't matter all I know is it's not my Annie. and she might become my wife but she can't have my heart. So i will sent Tia to meet you at your office tomorrow so you can talk about wedding. good to meet you again we will sign contract after the marriage.

" WHAT.......You can't do these to me .if you marry then who will cook for me ...who will help me in homework...where I go in night when I get terrified....you dont think about me ....No I won't allowed you to marry ..." babble rich as I break the news about my wedding. " shut up rich it isn't about you and he us going to marry not die " said Luke thank God for sensible brother. " Yes it's not about me it's about my SSIL " Said rich SSIL is a nickname of annie for rich and he haven't told anyone its full form. " I know you promised her .." " how do you know what I promise her .....did you eavesdrop on us?" " everyone in family know it even gabrie and Sasha " said Luke. gabrie is our maid from last year and sasha is girlfriend of rich and sis of annie. But it didn't matter the matter is " how do you know about promise , you were very small then"

I asked .. " relax bro it is captured on recorder of that event." yes the event I haven't see the recording of that event it was day everything change.

" look rich I know I made promise to her that I will marry her when we grow up but it was childish promise ..... and I don't know if she is alive or not. we have to think practically." I said. Luke come to me give me bro hug and said " You can't Marry for business tris it's not necessary " " Luke is right Tris a marriage without love is river without water" said granny as she enters my room. " love is long dead for me granny.....and you know that..anyway this topic ends here ..where were you since morning?" I asked granny.

"interviewing secretary for you as Smith is quitting to start his own business "

ohh I forgot he is quitting this month and i want secretary from next month.

hope granny will find best secretary for me.

I went in my room buried in my thought.

thinking about a little picnic happens 2 week before the incident...... me, Annie, Ginny, Lucas , Richard, Tanya , Sasha were playing..........suddenly sasha tripped and fell off I run to her and picked her up she hug me........seeing this our drama king hug Annie and said "Bro don't love me but you do love me right SSIL."

"What SSIL" I asked him he just made a face at me and run off. his calling her SSIL brings lots memories back....

and a promise that wasn't actual promise it was a play drama we decided to do that was part of drama we were going to show but fire ruined it all.

we were practicing the play as fire broke in building we were outside luckily Luke and Richard were out of building with granny and annie and Genny to was with me but they get lost in riot

as I leave her hand she was gone and I couldn't find her. the fire might not my mistake but loosing her was my mistake.

Lucas and Genny was 10and 8 years old respectively and sasha and Rich 6 yrs old both of them remember nothing about the fire. but I can't forgot that day which turn my life upside down. the ringing of my phone brought me back to present. " Triston Crick" " Hey I'm Tia , Tia steel mom told me to meet you tomorrow where are we meeting?" "to my office at 10 am" I cut my phone without waiting for reply. ya l know that's rude ....but this is me rude, arrogant, bossy choose your pick.
