" Sir, I don't think she would consider our proposal and benefits, " John said.
"Why doesn't she?" Austin seems irritated.
" She has no idea whom she is refusing," Austin said.
" Sir, you need to hear what she says every time," John said.
" Call her, in front of me," Austin said.
" She has blocked me," John said.
" Take my phone, " Austin said and John dialed her number.
" She is not picking up the call," John said.
"Make her mind cracked with these calls, " Austin smirks.
" As you say, " John said again and again, right after one, he jammed her phone with calls, but she was not picking up any.
John makes her head shed out of her senses.
" Who is it," She asks with her melodious voice.
" Hello, Ms. How are you doing? " John asks politely.
" Please, why are you doing this to me", Faith said.
"Ms. Faith I want to tell you the benefits that you are going to have," He said and Faith cuts the call.
" Look how rude she turn," John said and Austin's veins got popped.
"How dare she," Austin was in his full bloom, no one did this before Faith.
"There is not her fault, she may be in her class," John said.
"So let's see her classroom," Austin said and they got out of the room.
" Sir, this is not right, we should stay", John said.
"No, let's take the revenge," Austin said.
Faith was in her room, and Brandon was on the call.
" Where did you leave?" He asks.
" Nowhere, I was here," She smiled.
"You start telling a lie," Brandon said.
" I am sorry, " She said and looks down.
"So you got your admission, and didn't feels like you need to tell me?" Brandon asks and her color goes pale.
" You... You didn't get time to talk to me," She said and Brandon smirked.
"So you consider me," Brandon said.
" I.... I am so sorry, " she let out with a wavering voice.
" Brandon I am so sorry, I.... I am getting late," Faith said and he smirks.
"No, Faith, not today, you said I don't get enough time for you, So today we will give enough time to each other," he said.
" Are you not angry?" She asks.
" Why should I, why?" He chuckled.
" I am dying, " he growled abruptly and she close her eyes.
" Brandon, I said I am sorry, Dad wants me to go here," Faith said.
"So you don't want Dad wants," He said and she nods.
" I can't see your nod," He said.
" Ye.... Yes....," she said.
" Oh my innocent Faith," he said.
" I don't know what to do with you." He asks.
" Tell me, what is the solution, you are going out of control," he said and she pay heed without saying anything.
"There is only one solution," He makes her startle
" I am coming back," he said and gulled her fear.
" You are not going today, anywhere, stay home, stay safe," he said and cuts the call.
Faith burst into tears, and clutch her hair.
" Faith, time is going out, come out", Marry knocks on her door. she clears her voice and lets out.
"Marry, I don't want to go today, ":Faith said.
"What happens to my daughter, let me see," Marry said but she does not open the door.
" I am all okay, I didn't complete my assignment," She said.
" Okay, my love, but are you okay? " She asks.
" Yes, I am alright, " she replied.
"Okay love," she said and leave, Faith felt so helpless and gloomy again, she was getting fierce on herself. She doesn't know why she doing this, he is not here but still, this fear is killing her, she felt pathetic and impossible.
Austin was sitting in Faith's principal office, the principal was standing in front of him, and adoring his coming.
"Mr. Wayne this is a miracle to see you, that was my dream to meet you," the principal said.
" Let's come to the point", Austin gives a sign to John.
" Mr. Richard we want to meet Mr. Faith Anderson studying in this college," John said.
" Yes, I know her she is really a bright student, and her father is Mr. Blake which is really beneficial for our college", He said.
" Not father, guardian, keep in mind guardian, " Austin interrupts.
" Yes, I mean guardian," the principal nods.
" Please give me a sec," the principal uses his landline but the receptionist tells him that Ms. Anderson is absent today.
"Sir, I am so sorry but she is absent today, she never get absent from class in six months this is her first absence", The principal said.
"Maybe she knows, " Austin said.
"How could she sir? " John smiles.
"You are thinking too much," John said and Austin nods.
"I just want to meet her," Austin said.
" Maybe she is out of our reach, " John said.
"Nothing is out of my reach, keep in mind nothing," Austin glared.
" Thank you, " John said and they directly get out of the office.
" I will teach her how to behave by hook or crook," Austin said.
" Sir, she didn't even misbehave," she didn't even get into talk, John said.
" John no one ever refused me then how could she, and stop teaching me," Austin kept walking, the principal scrolled his phone to Mr. Blake but because of a burden, he can't get him at the right time.
The whole day, Faith didn't come out of her room, she didn't eat anything the whole day she was staring at the mirror, and praying for his stay.
A sudden knock comes and makes her startled.
" Love, Mr. Blake is here, " Marry said and her lips got crammed with a wide smile.
But she knows she doesn't have to pretend any sorrow, She abruptly opens the door. She runs to downstairs and saw him sitting on the couch in the hall.
" Hello, my daughter what happened to you?" Mr. Blake asks and she hugs him with tears.
" Again him....," Mr. Blake makes an irritated face.
" Nope....," she let out.
"Liar, " He said.
" Sit here, relax, look at me," he makes her comfortable and Faith let out everything about the morning.
"Faith this is your fault, tell him this is your opinion as you did, he also gives respect to your opinion," Mr. Blake said.
" Don't worry, he is not going to come until you are done", Mr. Blake said.
" We talked in the morning, and everything was fine, he is at a party, " Mr. Blake tells her and she frowned
" But he said don't come out of your room to me," Faith looks extremely innocent.
"He said and you follow, why don't you purpose your opinion in front, "
"The school I have chosen for him is related to business and personal management, he is managing himself, but Faith you are not letting him", Mr. Blake said.
" But if I don't obey, he would come back and will restrict me from doing my studies,", She let out and Blake chuckles.
" He will come soon and will see you becoming a doctor, don't worry, this is going to happen, but how could it be if you don't eat and spend your day like this?" Mr. Blake asks.
"You love him, he loves you nothing is impossible, if he really loves you he will understand I have talked to him and now the matter is done, but you need to focus, try to say no to him,"
" He is my only child, and I just want him to learn the best and become the finest person,"
"But will never happen when you give him everything he wants," He said and Faith nods.
"Now eat something and get focus on your exams," He said.
"Without the energy, you can't score the best," she nods.
" Who tells you everything? Do Brandon?" Faith asks.
" No that lady who is your mother, she is not your mother by blood but by heart, thank her later", Mr. Blake said.
" Let's have dinner together," he said.
"Yes, this is a perfect idea," Marry spoke out, they have dinner together, and afterward, Mr. Blake leaves for his important meeting.
" Don't get absent for this lame person, be focused you have messed many things up today," He said before going and Faith nods.
" Now you clear?" Marry asks.
" Thank you marry, thank you so much," she gets her warm squeeze.
"Thank me later, I have a dress for you, " Marry show her a beautiful red dress.
" This is fascinating, " She let out with bright lips.
"You got to wear this tomorrow," Marry said.
"Why..... something special?" She asks.
" No, but I just want you to dress like a princess, you never dress that way you want, 'cause of Brandon but now this is your time, " Marry said.
" You are right, Marry I need to groom myself, I look like someone who is from backward, even I can't speak to someone so abruptly as others do,"
" I saw a huge difference in my personality, as compared to others, I saw everyone is so advanced and better than me, '
" But I feel like someone from a backward area, the woman who doesn't get an education and is treated like sheep and cows, " Faith makes her chuckle.
" No woman is like that, women are getting successful more than men now a day," Marry said.
" No, Marry, you don't know there are people who treat a woman that way, I have searched about this and in many countries not in Western but in Asia, the condition is worst, "
" Women are not treated finely, they are treated like same as animals," Faith said.
" My dear, I never pay heed to these countries so I don't know much about them," Marry said.
"So you need to see how people are surviving here, how people are getting killed, I don't know when this going to stop,"
" I don't know why people abduct others, why people hurt others, I don't know why these things got held". Faith asks.
" This is your thinking, but people are okay with this, don't think about all this, concentrate on your goal, there is someone who wants you as sheep and cow, " Marry warns her and she nods.
The next morning comes Faith was waiting for his call, but he didn't make any.
" I have to get on," Faith is dressed in the beautiful red dress that marriage gives her,
That was a red wrap dress having full sleeves and good length covering her mid-thigh and coming to cross her knees.
She does little makeup today for the first time in her life, Marry buys her but she never used it, and hides it from Brandon.
She looks perfect and fantabulous.
She was ready to go and had such delightful anticipation to have makeup and fascinating dressing.
" Someone looks breathe taking," Marry said.
" Marry, I have to go", she said with a pleasant smile.
" But breakfast," Marry asks.
" If my lipstick got smudged?" She said innocently and making her chuckle.
" It would not come here, " Marry said but still, she doubts cause she doesn't want to smudge it.
" Marry, I always did that, please don't force me, I will take something from the university," she said and runs.
"Children.....," Marry said and Faith got out, the car was ready, and stands in front of her door.
"Good morning Ms. Anderson", he let out and Faith went suspicious.
" Who is here? Where is Walter?" She asks.
"He got sick so he doesn't come today," he said and Faith nods.
" Very good morning to you, " She replied and he starts the car.
Faith opens her books and got engulfed in her books, she doesn't know where the car is going and which path it taking.
