Arranged Marriage

Chapter 16

Ariana's POV

"Ryan. Ryan. Ryan. Why can't they just give me a break from Ryan?", I looked questioned the person into the mirror which showed the reflection of me.

Tears couldn't stop rolling down from my eyes, I looked at the person in the mirror and realized that this person looked broken and dying.

I questioned her with cracky tone "I thought you had forgotten him. If you did, then why are you crying?".

Every corner and every detail in this orphanage really reminded me a lot of Ryan. I really missed him so much. He used to accompany me here every week.

He used to be my everything but he's my past now.

I tried to calm myself down by whispering and muttering something to myself to make me better. I kept reminding myself "Ariana, breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe.".

I wiped my tears away and encouraged the person in the mirror in a good spirit "Ariana, don't cry anymore. Ryan is your past, you should've forgotten him and moved on.".

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared behind me and interrupted my thought , he questioned me worriedly "Ariana, are you okay?".

I widened my eyes and saw him standing behind me looking at me worriedly in the mirror.

I looked away from him and the mirror immediately by bending my head and wiped my tears instantly.

He approached me and questioned me in concern but sounded impatient and irritated "Ariana, what's wrong with you?".

I faked chuckling without having any eye contact with him, while focusing on the sink "Justin, this is a female washroom. You shouldn't enter here.".

His voice was stern and serious when he shook me off and replied to me "I don't care. Just tell me what's happening?".

I turned away from him facing the wall, I giggled and lied "Justin, I am fine. Just a little emotional seeing these children who had lost their families and homes.".

He furrowed his eyebrows and raised his voice at me "Ariana, don't lie to me. Your voice is cracky and shaky. Why are you crying?".

I had tried my best to stop crying but I failed miserably. Those tears were still attacking my eyes without any mercy especially after Justin's appearance.

I really didn't want to show him my weak side.

I remained silent without any reply to him which caused him yelling at me impatiently "Ariana, what's wrong with you? Tell me please. Don't kill me with silence.".

I buried my face and letting those tears rolling from my eyes silently, cried silently.

He carried on by questioning me in an annoying tone "Who's the Ryan guy? Is he your ex boyfriend?".

I begged to Justin in cracky and shaky tone while still trying to manage my tears "Justin, please leave me alone.".

He tightened his grip as he's growing impatient, he grabbed my wrist forcefully and spin me around from facing the wall to him.
