Erika POV
It was such a lovely morning... As i opened the window
what a wonderful view.
I quickly went to the bathroom to do my business, before going downstairs
"Good Morning Mom,How was your night? am fine and you? " She asked
me.
"Sweet" I replied.
It was my little daily routine to exchange greeting
everyday.
"So what's for break fast today? " I asked mom
"Pancakes" mom said battling her eyelashes.
I quickly started arranging the dining table.
"Good Morning princess" Dad said
"Moring Dad" I gave him a peck.
"What's going on Dad these days you seem worn out... Is
anything disturbing you?? You know you can share with
me!!" I asked him in a serious tone.
"No princess.. Everything is fine. Who said that i am worried"
he quickly replied.
I don't know but something is bothering my parents.. They
are not showing but something is there.
I don't know I kind of having a feeling that something very
bad is going to happen. I quickly shook away my
thoughts and began eating my breakfast.
"bye mom Bye dad."
Getting in the car and driving in full speed is something i
like.
As i reached the main door of my university i was greeted
by my lovely best friend Roseline Luca. Who was tapping
her sandal and glaring away in my direction.
"Hey baby.. Whats up" I asked her.
"Good Morning Ri... I guess we were supoosed to meet
half an hour before but obviously someone forgot" she
was damn angry.
"I am sorryyyyyyy" I made my best puppy face.
"Okay i forgive you." She hugged me
"You know Bee i am having this weird feeling that
something bad will happen and that is sure" I told her.
"Listen Ri first of all you cant be sure of anything.
And second thing stop thinking so
negetive. Now com'on lets go to class." Rose told me
wisely.
After five hours of non stop lecture it was time to head
home.
I wasn't able to find rose and I was too tired to wait for
her so I quickly send her text that I am going home and
I'll meet her tomorrow.
After half an hour of driving I reached home.
"Am home" I shouted.
"dad why are you home and that to at this time?? " I asked
suspiciously because the house was decorated very well
and mom was going from here to there.
"Welcom back.. Yes I am home early because
today is you're engagement." Dad replied
"Ya.. Sure dad why not!!" I also played along with Dad.
"No Erika we are not lying indeed today's your
engagement." Mum replied coming close to me.
"No.. This cant be true.. This is a prank.. Com'on dad just
now i came from school and i'm in no mood of this kinda
thing." I replied casually plopping down on sofa.
"Erika james we are not lying and we are very much
serious about this. Now go and freshen up your dress and
everything is on the bed... Quick!!" Mum replied sternly.
"Dad this isn't true...you people are lying I mean com'on I
am in my final year and I never dreamt of this hapening
suddenly and that to behind my back.Like i dont even
know who the guy is?? I am not doing any engagement..
Thats it" I raised both my hands and to say that I was
angry would be an understatement.
"Young lady.. Watch your voice and control your tounge..
We have decided what was better for you.Today is your
engagement and tomorrow is your wedding ... And mind you
if you plan running away or any kind of other thing. Now
up to your room" Mom was shouting.
I quickly ran to my room and cried my heart out. I called
Rosevand told her everything she was beyond shock.
Even i was not believing dat my own parents could do
this? There is something which they are not telling me.
Mom called Rosaline and she was staying with me till my
Wedding. Can't believe I can't have a Normal Wedding.
Rose helped me in getting ready. I was wearing a pink
Ball gown with a sliver heel an a matching hairpin.. With a tint of light make
up and pale pink lips. My house was hustling and bustling
with guests. I always imagined my wedding
and each an every function to be spent happily but not
like this not against my wish. Dad came to my room. By
seeing dad rose went downstairs leaving me alone with
dad.
" my daughter is looking very beautiful.
Dylan is a very lucky guy I must say." Dad said taking my
hand in his hand. "I know you have many questions
running in your mind right now but have patience and trust, we will reply to your questions but at the right time.
Till then keep smiling. Dont make us feel bad. " dad was
very guilty.
"No dad please dont say this you both have not raised me
with such low morals I can never let down both of you.
You dont worry about today
i've accepted my fate. " I told dad.
"My baby.." Mum came and hugged me and we both
started crying.
Soon Rose came to take me downstairs. I was feeling
very conscious.
"Hey i am Daisy your sister in-law.. And
i must say brother is very lucky to have you as his
wife. You are very pretty." Daisy told me.
"Now dont trouble my daughter in law Daisy..
we are blessed to have you in our family. I am Grace
Donovan your mother in law. " she raised her hand an bless me.
Soon ring exchanging ceremony took place.. Everyone
was happy enjoying the moment. Many people came to
to congratulate me I was tired from smiling
fake
.
After three long hours I was finally in my own room and in
my PJs. Before jumping on the Bed, An going to the Dream land
