The light of my heart?

Chapter 7: ~Their problems~

She was about to say something to her friend, but thanks to an annoying sound her words were interrupted.

With an annoyed expression, she got up from her bed to look for her cell phone and turn off the alarm that informed her that it was another day.

Sigh.- uff, why is it always the same ?! .- he said to himself.- you always have to be the one who interrupts me in my dreams!, Aggg.- he threw the mobile towards the sofa in the room of the.

With little desire to go to high school he got up to slowly proceed to enlist, everything was going well but hearing his mother call him from the first floor he began to hurry. Ready he took his backpack and ran down the stairs without thinking about the consequences, halfway through the laces of his shoes were untied causing him to stumble.

Luckily for him, he fell with two steps to go to get to the ground floor, so the pain was not that great. At that time, when he saw around him, he felt ashamed, since his mother and father were watching him silently with a disapproving gesture, so he just got up from the ground without saying anything and left his house almost in a hurry.

-Why do they always look at me like that ?! .- he thought .- they always expect the best of me ....- he said to himself still keeping the rhythm of his walk.- when in reality ...

He tried to show the best smile he could to everyone who passed him to keep the tears from falling. But unfortunately it was useless to him in those moments, since he always carried that load on his back, the pain of not being able to please his strict parents.

With a fake smile he just stopped running to take a calmer pace, since around him they looked at him strangely. He wanted not to think about his parents but his mind was stronger and he betrayed him by reminding him of all the reproaches of his parents.

"Why don't you have a partner? Hmm, you're falling behind"

"You are just a child who does not know how to do anything well ..."

"Put aside that sentimentality, you embarrass me !!"

"Ethan stop the nonsense, life is difficult, and you should know it child, you always want to solve everything with a smile ... how stupid".

"Your grades are bad! You should always look for the best ..."

"Learn to walk well that you always stumble, I am ashamed to say that you are my son"

"Are you stupid or what ?!, nor can you leave a simple plate in the sink"

"You are a disgrace, you should not have my last name. I wish I had heeded, have another child to make up for your nonsense".

Those words echoed in Ethan's head like an echo that he had no end, his legs began to tremble and in the end he let see the sentimental side of him.

-I always tried, no matter how hard I try ... always what I do is a fiasco, ...- he said to himself with tears in his eyes.- the truth is that I don't understand them ...

The tears that he suppressed so much finally came out, the truth is that Ethan was very bad under the pressure of his parents, and these had become more frequent when he had to return home due to the pain in his chest.

-How I want to sleep to put this aside ...- he thought.

He was still devastated when he remembered the hurtful words of his parents, but when he saw that there were only a few streets to go to his school, he quickly tried to dry the tears to only reveal a smile that hid all the pain from him.

Poor young man, his efforts to be better than his parents were in vain, since they always asked him to be serious and stone-hearted, but he was the opposite: kind, sentimental, optimistic and cheerful.

When he finally reached the entrance, he met his friends, who began to make him laugh with his comments, since they had seen him and knew what he had to go through day by day with that couple who called themselves the parents of the blond.

While in the other part of the country, after a long day at the high school where the young brunette was studying, she had to do her homework and then get ready to go to work, but because of fatigue she fell asleep after finishing her homework.

Her cell phone rang to which she quickly answered the call, full of concern, to realize that it was her boss who was calling her to give her a request to write down, when she finished the call and noted the request in a daughter in her notebook, she began to change of clothes to run from your house to your workplace.

It was 8 o'clock when she arrived despite the fact that 2 hours ago she should have presented, she seemed that that day she had gotten up on her left foot after what she had been through in her high school. For her luck, her boss did not lecture her or pay her less, on the contrary, she understood that she had a too heavy day even because of her sudden tachycardia due to heat and stress.

She passed the orders that had arrived and even what the customers had asked her to eat, having a few free minutes she walked to where the water dispenser was to pour herself water and take some tablets from her pants bag.

"Hmm, I hope the pills will go away from the chest pain," she thought as she looked at the tablet the doctor had recommended.

The working hours passed too quickly, her requests kept raining down and exhausted her.

The shift ended, it was already 1 in the morning when she arrived at her house, before going to sleep she took a bath to remove the smell of food and prepared her backpack with the corresponding schedule of the day and ironed the uniform .

After doing everything she had to do, it was already 2 o'clock and so she went to bed, wishing that the next day would be better by letting herself fall into the arms of Morpheus as quickly as possible due to fatigue.

~ In the dream ~

It seemed like a slightly dark place, but by following the torches that illuminated that place, he managed to get out and realize that it was not a simple house in which he was, but that it was a huge temple, rather it was the same pyramid that Ethan He had taken her a few dreams ago.

Those views could leave anyone speechless, but Amanda was a bit confused by that scene that was in front of her, but luckily for her, Sey arrived.

-Amm Sey, what am I doing here? .- she asked a little worried.

- Oh Miss Amy, you shouldn't be scared.- she replied with a smile.- Today will be the happiest day of her life.

Those words caused fear in Amanda, since she knew what that man was referring to, because those words were always repeated by her mother before her marital problems happened:

"Ay Amy, the happiest day for a woman is when she gets married, and also when she is about to have a child"

Was it true ?, When to tie yourself to someone is to be happy ?, Those thoughts ran through the girl's mind, but were interrupted by her companion who was still happy.

-My Lady, it is better that you start preparing. - she said to start making small leaps.- her fiancé will soon arrive to prepare.

Amanda was still a bit confused, but Sey took her by the shoulders of her and called three women who only took her to a room where they began to do her makeup and dress her by force.

When they finished, the brunette just left the room hoping to run away. But to her bad luck when she saw the bottom of the steps, she noticed that she was already ready for "the wedding", but she took courage and ran to descend that temple. Upon reaching a crowd, she met her loved ones and her friends who, upon seeing her, began to congratulate her.

- Mom, I ...

-Oh, daughter, don't say anything.- she interrupted a little smiling.- I see that you already have someone who is going to love you, and I also know that this is for the good of all.

- But...

Her words were interrupted again but this time by her friends who hugged her.

-Amm, why are you happy?.- Amanda asked a little confused.

-Amy, it shows that he is perfect for you. - Daniela replied to her question.

- H-how ?! I don't understand how you dare to say that if you haven't even seen it.- I speak a little annoyed.

- Ay Amy, they took him to get dressed for half an hour.- Sara answered.

- Aww Amy, look at you.- she said with a twinkle in her eyes.- You look like a princess and with the boy ... uff, he's perfect for you.- Wendy finished speaking.

Amanda did not know what to do in those moments since each word from her friends made her want to cry in frustration, but when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she only observed another of her friends, waiting for her to speak, but when listening to her was surprised.

- Why don't you let her talk? Apparently Amy is not so sure about this.- Sofia spoke.

-I-I ...- she said with a broken voice.- no ... I w-w-want ...

- Amy, don't cry.- Daniela said to wipe away the tears that began to run down Amanda's cheeks.- that this day must be special.

- How do you want me to not do it? !! .- Amanda replied.- I don't even know who my future husband is, besides I don't feel anything for him !!

Amanda's friends were silent as she decided to run away, not caring that she was wearing a not so foggy white dress and heels, leaving behind petals from the flower headband that she wore in her hair along with a long veil. which was rippled by the wind.

- Why should they decide for me? I ... I .... I DON'T WANT TO MARRY AN UNKNOWN, LESS LESS IF I FEEL NOTHING FOR HIM !!
