Next day, no one talked about the pizza, so I also went mute. After finishing every house chores I left for my work.

Today morning I had to complete cupcakes order for one of my important customer's son's birthday. Everyone said it came out very well and looking so tidy. I'm so happy with their comments. Everytime their words encourage me to do more. 😍

These days, friendship between Ryan and I are going smoothly. He's no more a grumpy person who scares me with his looks. Mostly Ruhi, Ryan and I are spending our time on gossiping when we're free. Also we share things about happening in our lives, mostly them not me. Because I don't want everyone's to know about my imperfect family. I know I'm not being honest with them but still I'm not comfortable to share them everything.

Evening when I was getting ready to go home I got a call from Karthik's Number.

"H... Hello...."

"Appa wants you to be at home before 7 pm. So come early" saying that in cold voice he disconnected the call. I looked at the phone's screen and thought what's this time? Why he sounded so cold. I just wanted to punch is not so handsome face and shout ' I am not your maid, you bastard'. But I know that's not going to be possible. So quickly I left the place.

Now I'm sitting between strangers and my so called family who are talking about my marriage which I have not even known little bit, until I come to home this evening. Where all went wrong once again!!!

Okay let me replay everything! after the Karthik's phone call I came to home around 6.45 pm. Seeing me father told me to get ready by wearing a saree, which is in first place I don't like to wear because of my insecurities. Since he refused to telling me more details I left to my room to get ready. An hour later Kavya called me to come out and when I came they gave me a tray filled with silver coffee cups. "A.... Appa what's this?".

"Don't ask any question okay. Wearing a smile greet everyone and serve this coffee to guests who are seated in living room. And I'm warning you... Don't dare to open your stupid mouth infront of them. Kavya bring her" telling that my father left.

As he said I greeted the guests with 'Vanakkam🙏' and served them coffee. When I was leaving they asked me to sit with them. Appa warned me through his eyes to do whatever they asking.

So this is how I ended up among this strangers who are talking about my life changing matter but I don't have any simple idea. Even I didn't dare to look at the groom's face whose voice sounded so rough. Listening to their talk only I heard that groom was 12 years elder than me. What that fuck! 😲😞 But my father said just one thing "Age doesn't matter Mr. Ram. You have accepted the proposal. That's the matter." hearing him, only one doubt I got...... Is he really my own father?!?!?!

Those strangers left the house after arranging an date for the engagement. But no one tried to asked my opinion about the marriage or my consent. They're telling that it's my marriage but Where am I in this matter? It's all about them and their decisions. So where am I here?

When I turned to go back to my bedroom Karthik was standing there folding his arms together near his chest and looking at my face with a blank emotion. I know he won't utter a simple word rather than giving me that look. So left the area to get rid of this bundle of frustrating clothes. 😬

Preparing myself and boosting up some courage I came to living room to talk with my father regarding this marriage. Because I didn't ask from him to find a groom for me and I'm sure he won't bother with this useless things because of me. So I should ask him what's the reason behind this sudden arrangement.

I saw him writing something on book and Kavya was near him telling him something. Karthik sitting there just like that. Go! Go! Kayal... This is your chance. If you choose to be like dumb hereafter, this people will ruin your life completely. No one is going to save your life other than you. Taking a huge breath I went his near.

"A.... Appa..." I called him slowly.

Hearing my voice heaving a huge sigh he looked at me frustratingly and asked no no snapped "What?!"

"Appa, I... I don't want this m.....marriage. "

At once he got up from sofa like he got a current shock and asked " What, say it again?"

"I don't want this m....marriage. Atleast for n..now"

"ohhhh" he laughed sarcastically. "Did you think I arranged this marriage thinking you as my daughter. No, I arranged it immediately because then only my daughter Kavya's marriage will happen without any problem. Yesterday, If Mrs. Susila didn't keep that condition infront of me, I didn't have any purpose to do this time and money wasting thing. Did you understand? "

Whhhhhhaaaaattttt!!!!!!!! 😲😟 Susila Aunty!

He continued" Did you know what we spoke privately? At the end she accepted my proposal. Since her second son, Siddarth just now broke up with his long term girlfriend, he's not ready for any relationship. But she talked with her first son, Sager and he too gave his consent for this marriage.

The unexpected thing was she strictly told me, if Kavya's marriage should happen with Sager, I have to find a groom for you too and she wanted to do your both's wedding in the same day and in the same hall.

If I am going to find a groom for you it will take ages because of your imperfections and what about my daughter's life. That's why I thought to arrange it with my colleagues younger brother. Already they have seen you when they have visited here so there won't be any problem . Recently I heard that they're urgently searching a bride for him. So when I asked them, they also accepted my proposal without any further delay. See today itself they came and talked everything. Then why couldn't you accept the marriage when that family ready to accept a low life like you as their daughter in law? Ah? "he shouted like a mad person.

" A... Appa... Please Appa...I'm begging you I d.....don't want this m...marriage. I... I will talk with a....aunty" I pleaded him folding my hands 🙏. tears are flowing from eyes after listening to his cruel words.

"Stop bithch! What's your problem marrying him. He's a business man who's having steel factory. After the marriage he planned to move to Dubai.. You want money right? He'll bath you with diamonds and golds if you married him. So what's your damn issue? Or are you going to live your whole life here being burden. For your lucky time they accepted you. Otherwise no one will agree to marry a cow like you. " by shouting he got cough. So Kavya brought him near to sofa

" Appa please don't get tension. You are BP patient. It's not good for your health. "Saying she gave the water bottle to father.

" Kayal why are you being like this? You know his health condition then why are making him tension. Please accept the proposal without any tantrums " Kavya scolded me in frustration. I shocked listening to her. How could she this much selfish. Atleast I thought as a girl she will understand and support me. But now I understood that I'm still fooling myself believing them.

" K.. Kavya how could you say that? Like you I'm also his daughter right? I also don't want to bother Appa....."

"Nooo..... Nooo, you are not my daughter! Stop calling me that! " my words cut off by my father's high pitch voice.

Immediately Karthik went near to him and persuade him saying, " Appa cool down. Now don't talk anything..." but shrugging off his hold indicating his index finger towards me, Appa said👉 , " You are not my biological daughter and you are not belong to this family.... "
