After a whole hectic day Jay's shift was over he went to his car and drove back home.
As it was late at night he tiptoed to the door to keep silence and not disturb anybody. As he entered the lights turned on making him flinch. He saw his dad sitting on the dining table and his mom approaching him . Jay gulped. Looking at his dad's poker face and mom's awkwardness he knew it's something serious. He approached his dad taking a seat on the chair. It was kinda serious atmosphere. He gave his mom a worried look raising an eyebrow questioning her. His mom slowly winked at him assuring everything was alright. Jay turned his head towards his dad.
Jay: Dad you're still awake.(laughing nervously)
Dad: I need to talk to you,son.(stern voice)
Jay took a glass of water and took a sip.
Jay: what is it dad? (He took another sip)
Dad: you're going to marry Mr. Park's daughter.
Jay chocked on the water.
Jay: what! Why?
Dad: no questions further!
Jay: why ? I don't want to marry!
Dad: do you have a girlfriend?
Jay:(thinking for a while) yes my setheschope!
Dad: (facepalming) here goes my nerdy son!
Jay: I'm done, and I'm not gonna marry that arrogant girl.
Dad: you need to get married , you're getting old and Mr. Park's daughter is not arrogant. Why do you always point her?
Jay rolls his eyes in annoyance and gave a done look to his father.
Jay's pov
Well I didn't introduce myself. Hell yeah I'm a nerd and I'm 25. First of all no one likes me. My every effort ends up being compared with that brat and Max. My big glasses and a simple attire makes everyone hate me and treat me with awful words. I have always being bullied my whole life as a nerd . And yeah this Mr. Park's daughter " Martha" is a rich spoiled brat of course and her attitude is the worst. But she acts like an innocent creature in front of everyone. Mr. Park and my dad are business partners as they collaborated few years ago and became best friends. And whenever we have a business party or a dinner that brat ,she'll really make me feel useless. And gather her friends to bully me. However people throw hate on my looks I love what I am. And I won't ruin my life marrying her. No way.! It's not like I hate my dad or my dad is strict , we are more like buddies and he respects my decisions. But this decision is the worst decesion ever.
I look at my dad for the last time and get up and start to get towards my room. My mom looks at me with concern.
Dad: I'm not finished yet! You are going with us to meet them. And that's final.
Jay: no way!
I shout. And slam my room's door hard. However I know if I don't agree my dad has his own ways. Ashhh.. I'm ruined. I need to do something. I throwed myself on the bed. The next day I wake up . Again that nightmare. I wonder when I'll get rid of it. My past is terrible.
I freshen up and just rushed out of the house not wanting my dad to catch me. I took my car and drove off with full speed. Hush.... I'm safe. I reach the hospital and move to the cabin.
Well after may hours of giving treatment and critical surgeries it was afternoon. I reached to the canteen.There they are my two monkeys Emma and Noah .
I share everything with them. I told them everything.
Noah: so you're going to marry that spoiled brat.
Jay: no I don't want to.
Emma: then run away from the wedding.
I give her"are you serious!" look.
Suddenly I hear a mocking voice behind.
Max: I really pity you . NERD!(laughing)
I just ignore him as I got a call and hell yes it's my dad. I pick up the call and my dad ordered me to come to Mr.Park's house. to meet that brat.
I wave my idiots a bye and a disgusted look to Max. And walk off. As I walk past the street I see a girl and a boy quarrelling. It's none other than that brat and maybe that boy is her boyfriend. Hearing their fights makes me sure it's her boyfriend. And I don't want to listen further I don't even care. But I think I can call off the wedding. I take a video of both of them . My smart brain. But looking at my dad's stubbornness I find it difficult to prove this., cause he won't believe as this brat is decent in front of my dad. But still let's try!
I finally reached the house. I found my mom dad sitting on the couch. I reached there and saw Mr and Mrs. Park sitting across , I greet them. and after a while that brat reached here masking an innocent face on her ugly attitude, she gave me a disgusted look and fake smiled at my parents. After our parents where chitchatting for a while. My dad started to talk something about business. Well I don't poke my nose in business as I was never interested in it. After high school my dad expected me to go with his business but I took my career in medication and science. And now my little sister 'candis' is going to take over the company but she still needs experience so she's doing jobs for it and she's fully into business. But they were somewhat talking about a company. "The Ace" like the name it's recently being a popular and powerful company defeating the other companies.
Dad: didn't we rejected that company before!
Mr. Park: yeah! It was years ago. Time changes! But they haven't revealed the CEO of the company and nobody in the media could find it.
Dad: and even the security in the company is high. Nobody can trespass without any ID .
Mr. Park: it's really going to be a tough competition!
Just they were talking ,we heard some footsteps coming from upstairs. A girl came down walking through the stairs as my eyes fell on her I was in shock. I mean complete shock. She was the same girl from yesterday who quarrelled with Dr. Jameson. But she was really different than yesterday. She was a wearing a hoodie and jeans and her hairs tied in a bun and a pair of big specks across her face more like Harry Potter. You can call"NERD"! I was hella shocked. Was she the twin ? A doppelganger?
I was in my thoughts and she reached down walking towards us , she seemed quite uncomfortable until I realized I was staring at her like a creep , I diverted my gaze.
But who was she? And I never saw her in years. She gave a smile to my parents greeting them.
Dad: I guess she is Amy?
Mr. Park: yeah right! (Akwardly smiling)
She's the spoiled brat's sister. Oh God I'm gone. But looking at Mr. Park's expression it felt a little akward.
Looking at Amy my mom asked out of her curiosity.
Mom: well where have you been these years?
Amy: well I completed my studies in boarding school. And I came back last month. (Small smile)
Hearing the name of the boarding school I was pretty sure she's a spoiled brat too. Oh my pathetic life. The atmosphere was quite akward. But nothing seemed to bother Amy.
After a minute of silence. Mr. Park spoke.
Mr. Park: I don't think there's any problem with our kids to marry each other?
Martha: not at all!
Martha spoke with her fake smile and glared at me as if I say yes she will kill me at that very moment.
My dad looked at me signalling to agree with him. I wanted to scream at the very moment. Noooooo! But the next thing I spoke shook everyone. I spoke in one breath.
Me : umm.. I have a problem. I can't marry Martha. I like Amy.
Shoot! What the heck did I spoke? What on Earth did I spoke a moment earlier? I'm finished. I digged my own grave.!
Everyone was shocked, Amy looked at me raising an eyebrow with confusion whereas Martha smiled secretly. Somehow I managed a stern face and spoke again.
Me: Mr. Park if you don't mind can I talk to her?
Mr. Park spoke akwardly.
Mr. Park: umm.. sure..!
I stood up and dragged Amy to the backyard with the speed of the light. I stopped at a place. But I doubted what should I tell her.? Cause for her, I saw her a while ago and I asked for her. But I'm still not sure if she's the same girl I saw yesterday. But still I calmly looked at her.
Me: do you mind if I marry you? Would you accept me?
I looked at her face trying to analyze what she would say. I expected that she will give a tight slap on my stupidity. But I just freaked out that time. But she thinked for a moment and then looked at me and only said one word.
Amy: fine!
She left.
I sigh. Inhaling some air I went in. I found my parents discussing something it's more like a gossip. Then they turn to me and give an akward look. I divert my gaze to Amy who's standing in the corner like a statue literally not bothered with anything. She gave me a blank look. Then my dad spoke.
Dad: Amy do you agree with my son?
Amy: yes.(blank face)
Dad: Martha do you agree with it.?
Here starts the melodrama. Shedding her crocodile tears., She spoke..
Martha:(giving a sad face) there's no problem dad and I'm really happy for my sister.
My dad gave a apologetic look. And I can tell she was adding spice to the drama with her emotional face.
She gives a dramatic look at Amy. Amy rolls her eyes in annoyance. Somehow we both are same. We don't like this brat. And by Amy's face it was confirmed that we both want to get rid of this spoiled brat.
After this decision we stepped to left the house. As I reached the door I could see Martha mouthing"good choice nerd!" And Amy still wore her blank face. My dad was stunned by my decision. I went to the hospital and my parents went home. I wasn't in the mood of discussing. After that I came home at night. I stepped in the house. I found my mom sitting on the couch waiting for me. Her eyes fell on me. She stands up to heat the cooked food and gestures me to sit. After eating my dinner it was silent for a while, my mom spoke..
Mom: well why did you chose her(Amy) you even don't know her?
Me: I told you I would do anything but won't marry that spoiled brat. And on the top of that she(Martha) already has a boyfriend.
She sighed.
Mom: so why didn't you tell me before.?
I answered in a sarcastic way.
Me: as if dad has faith in me.!
Mom: as father as son! Stubborn! Look baby I'm just warning you, it's your decision but just don't ruin Amy's life ok!
Me: she agreed on her own.!
Mom: fine! It's your decision just later don't regret it! Cause marriage isn't a child's play. And what if Amy is a spoiled brat.?
With that she left leaving the kitchen and walking towards her room. Listening her words I really droved in a doubt what if she is a spoiled brat? What if she takes some kind of revenge on me? Cause I'm in doubt if she was forced by her parents to agree. Then I would obviously part my ways from her after some months.! Ughhhhh.... My complicated life.! With that I go upstairs and drop myself on the bed and drift to sleep..
