991 Words
Meanwhile in afternoon
After I went to work. My mom and dad was upset. Mom has been crying for the stunt I pulled. They don't know what to do so everyone shut themselves in their rooms. My very smart brother gave my mom an idea that they should find a good guy for me so I won't feel distressed. That's when they remembered that they got a call from a family few days back. So they searched for their profile and called them. She told we are so and so and reminded them because it's been few days already.
My mom asked them that, "can we come and see the bridegroom?? "
They said, "Ya sure no problem "
So my mom and dad went to their home. They were welcomed by the groom itself. For them, he seemed to be a nice guy.
(My mind voice "Oh! So this is the so called first impression ")
They entered the home and chatted for a while. And my mom showed them my picture in her phone. They all saw and was content about it. After conversing with each other, my mom and dad came to know that the groom is leaving that night to abroad. So my mom told them to come to our house today and see my daughter only if you guys are fully interested.
My mom also told them all the reasons they may find in me later beforehand itself so that she can minimize the damage.
Before leaving, she also told them that after explaining everything with me, she will call them. After that, they can come over.

After returning home, they pondered about how to explain this to me. Eventually my mom asked my dad to pick me up from my office and asked him to explain softly to me.
(My mind voice "He did try to explain softly ")

In the evening
After my dad picked me up from my office, we went straight to home. Meanwhile, I was thinking about how to retaliate about this to them.
I'm not happy about all the things happening. I'm quite enraged.
I stormed off inside the house never minding about their feelings. I sat in front of my workstation (yeah, I have one in my home in case of emergency works) and started working my pending works.
My mom peeked inside my room and came to me. She sat beside me and started to explain about the groom. I didn't bother to listen at all. Finally she said, "He is coming to meet you by 6 pm. Just consider him for my sake for the last time. And if you don't like him, I won't force you to get married at all. You can continue working also".
Finally, the words which I wanted to hear.
"This is the last time. Then you should delete my profile in all the matchmaking websites"
"Sure but you will surely like this groom"
"Yeah, whatever" I paused before saying, "Oh I won't dress up. I'll be in this work dress only"
"Okay. Be yourself. At least freshen up a little bit "
"Okay"
She went back to prepare to welcome them.
I went to freshen myself up. After washing my face, I looked myself in the mirror and thought, "What if because of my negligence, they decided to reject me then I'll feel guilty about it right. So should I dress up for the last time? "
I thought about it for some time and decided to dress up. I went to my closet and ran my hand through all the dresses in there. At last my hand landed on one of my dress that is dark pink in color. It is one of my favorite with yolk model long gown. It is a perfect fit for me. I decided to wear this dress. So I put it on and looked myself in the long mirror that I have in my room. I'm satisfied with how I look. Then next I went to do my makeup and hair. I did a little bit of touch up and applied some lip gloss and finished it. As for my long hair, I just combed it and tied it altogether and let it flow behind my back. My usual hairstyle and makeup, nothing special and not so simple. I looked myself once again in the mirror before deciding to go downstairs.
I went downstairs to see my parents and my brother busily arranging everything to welcome the groom and his family.
I'm not interested in any of this so I decided to sit on the chair and wait. I was quite arrogant that day. I felt bored while looking at them arranging everything so I took out my mobile phone and opened my favorite game,Hay Day, to play.
Meanwhile my parents are tensed but they didn't bother me to help them.
Time went by, I couldn't wait anymore but I'm too stubborn to ask my parents about their arrival.
After some time, my mom got a call. I heard some bits and pieces that they are asking for the location. My brother and mom were trying to explain them about the location but I couldn't be bothered about it.
I continued playing my game and my mom clumsily told them about the location.
My dad was waiting outside the door to welcome them.
At last they arrived. Everyone went outside to greet them and invite them back inside leaving me alone inside.
I got panicked at that moment after all this time sitting calmly. For some reason my mom came inside, I grabbed her and told her not to go outside and stay with me here. She stayed with me inside.
I hid behind my mother and waited for them to arrive. And then I heard footsteps coming towards us. But I'm very much afraid to take a look.
Finally I peeked.
