"But Dad! I don't want to be married yet! For God's sake, I'm only 21 years old and I just still in college!" I am acting like a kid having some tantrums but I don't care if they are trying to change my life.
Right now, I am begging my Mom and Dad while we are having dinner and I barely touched my food ever since they told me the news of me getting married to some complete stranger.
"But you are gonna graduate this month, right? So that means it is totally fine. Besides your soon-to-be husband also just got home from Russia." Mom spoke, excitement in her eyes and voice.
"From Russia? Why?" I asked, curiously.
"Oh, he's a Russian chef." She stated "His name is Stephan Draco. Does it ring a bell to you?"
My eyebrows frowned as I thought of the name.
Stephan Draco
Oh I remember, I've seen him before in a magazine. He's one of the hottest male alive and one of the richest to be in fact. At only 16, he already had his own restaurant and at 19, he was married to this supermodel, Christina and then just a few months later, his wife died in an accident but she was not alone when that happened, she was with his brother. Rumors says that they have been cheating behind Stephan's back but don't judge immediately.
There are only three sides in a story. Stephan's side, Christina's side and the truth.
But still, I don't want to be married!
Number one, I am too young to get married.
Number two, getting married is not in my list of priority at the moment because I want to enjoy my singlehood alone without any men in my life.
Number three, I don't want to be a rebound.
Number four, He is not the husband material type of men.
And lastly, number five, we don't love each other and nothing is gonna happen since he is he is not my type and I'm sure that I am not his type, either.
"But this marriage has always been in our tradition. You will marry the guy that was destined for you." Mom said, drinking her glass of mine.
"Whoa, destiny? That guy is a hundred percent not my destiny because you two and his parents are forcing us to be together even if it is not good" I grimaced.
"Your Dad and I were also fixed marriage but look at us, we made it work and we love each other and so are you and your brother." She placed a hand on top of mine that was above the table. "Trust us on this"
"God, I can't believe that this happening to me." I whispered to the air and just looked down on my plat and think about it if this has any good outcomes.
Then I was gonna talk again when suddenly both of their phone rang causing them to alert quickly and answered them. This is actually what me and my family needs. Family bonding.
My Dad already stood up and left us while talking business on his phone as he head to his office. Then Mom stood next as she seems to be enjoying her conversation in the other line. "I will go on ahead, sweetie. Finish your meal" she told me before completely leaving me in the dining room.
Silence quickly enveloped in the large room of this dining area, all the thing that was left was me, and the four maids behind me who were standing like statues and will only move when I asked them to.
I wasn't in the mood to eat so I just stand up and head to my room immediately and look myself up. I tried to call my friend Jasmine but she was not answering it. That girl is probably partying again or maybe out with some guy.
