Claimed By Him With Love

Part 32

******

I have got ten to twelve messages from James.

He was really an impatient man.

I didn't reply to him.

Because I have already told him, I needed time.

I was having dinner with my parents.

My father was looking neutral, he was having his meal in silence but my mother was looking at me now and then.

She had a confused expression.

Does she know about the marriage being called off?

You should inform them now.

"Liza why are you not eating anything?" My father said and I was jolted out by the sudden interruption.

"Yeah... I.."

"You need to eat dear, you should be looking the best in your wedding." He gave a bright smile.

He was looking fragile. He was getting thin day by day.

I gave a weak smile. My mother gave me a sad look.

"I... I am full I think... " I said and got up.

"Liza, atleast eat something before going to bed." My mother warn.

"Yeah.. I will take something later." I said and went to my room.

God! Liz.. you have to told them some how.

I think I should talk to mom..

Suddenly there was a knock, and my mother enters afterwards.

A smile came up on my lips only by looking at her.

"I know there is something Liz." She said and came to hug me.

A lone tear dropped from my eyes.

"Are you not happy with this marriage?" She asked me looking concerned.

I bite my lips.

"Mom.. I am not marrying Robert." Her eyes widen but then narrowed.

She didn't say anything but waiting for me to say more.

"Actually... " I was counting on my words.

"James proposed me." I said looking at my nails.

"What?"

"Yes. He proposed me two days ago."

"And you are rejecting Robert just because James proposed you a few days ago before your wedding?" She asked horrified.

"Yeah.."

"How stupid that sounds Liza? You are choosing the only person who has made you cry for two years over a good friend?" She asked in a stern voice.

A good friend? Only if you knew mom..

Robert was never a good friend... I shouldn't have believed him after he spiked my drink almost two years ago.

"Mom..we both don't want this marriage..I mean I and Robert." I said.

She was about to say something but she huffed in anger and went out of my room.

She was angry.

But I was feeling better then.

I sighed and sat down on my bed.

My phone started ringing.

And I ended it. I was not in the mood to talk to anyone and especially to that man.

He left a message then.

*Have you talked to your parents?*

*Have you called off the marriage?*

I was not replying to him since two days but then I thought to reply to him before he come to my house and declared the news himself.

*It's complicated James but I have assured you that I am not going to marry Robert then please stop bothering me all the time. Don't you have any work to do? You are in my town since a week, don't you have anything else to do? Oh! Don't tell me I have become more important to you than your work? Is it?*

I hit the send option.

I was mad at him.

He didn't reply but was calling me.

I didn't pick up the call. I switched it off and went to sleep.

******

How could anyone sleep when there is too much going on in their life?

After tossing in my bed for hours I got up and went to the kitchen to have something.

I felt a lot better after eating something.

I went to my room and switched on my phone.

*My work is more important than anything.*

You stup...

*But..you are important too.*

God! If I haven't read the next message I was about to reply to him that I don't want to marry him anymore.

*And I will be going back after you have answered my proposal.*

There was no more messages. I kept the phone on the side table and went to sleep.
