***ALENA’S P.O.V***
I was looking around when I heard mom and Dad taking “Did you talk to the father?”
“Yes I did. They will be here tonight. Don’t worry about anything, everything will be as we want it to be.”
Dad nods at it what are they taking about why father will be here. What is it?
“I want this marriage to happen quietly. No one should know about it, no one and I don’t want anyone to even have a piece. Of news regarding this thing.”
Marriage. No, they want me to get married to someone. God, what the hell is it that’s happening?
I went down to mom as she was done talking to Dad. “Mom, what is it, what are you talking about, that mom's marriage, mom, that can’t happen, mom.”
“Alena, please relax, just relax, okay, you have to calm down.”
“But mom.”
“Alena, you have to go to college. We will talk about it after you come back.”
She just said it and left. I don’t understand what they are thinking or what’s going on in their head. I took a deep breath. God, what is it?
I went to the college canteen and sat there. “Hey love what happened. Why are you so upset? Is everything alright?”
Max came and. Asked me, I nodded at him with a, “No max. Not is correct. I am sorry, but it’s true.”
“Alena, what is it? I don’t understand what the problem is.”
“Mom and Dad want me to get married. I just can’t get it. What the hell is everything that’s been going on here? I don’t want to marry anyone.”
I said, I am really upset right now and disappointed and just don’t know what else to do.
I took a deep breath and looked at Max.
“I love you max, and I don’t want to be with you, that’s it.”
I said, “Alena, don’t worry about it, you know what. I don’t think that is what you are thinking.”
I looked at him with a question in my eyes. “What do you mean What”
“As far as I can understand, your family will have a grand wedding for you and not this simple one, and if there is something like that, then it’s something else that you are not able to understand.”
“What do you mean by that I heard them talking about the wedding?”
“Alena, sometimes things are not as you see them. Sometimes we think that what we are seeing or how it all is, that’s the way, but no, it’s not the truth. Maybe there is something else.”
I am genuinely confused right now about what he is talking about and what he is thinking. I don’t know he is not understanding if
“Max, why don’t you understand anything, why listen? Let’s get married. That’s the only solution we have left with.”
I said. He looked at me, then said, “Alena, I am sorry we can’t do that.”
As he said that he couldn't marry me, it was like my whole world collapsed.
"Max, what are you talking about? You don't want to marry me? Why max, why?"
I asked him. I just I don't know what to say and what not. "I am sorry Alena, it's not what you are thinking, it's just that I want to marry you but only with your family's permission and no one else's. I don't want them to think that I did something because of your father's money."
I held his hand. "Max, that will not happen. I know what others think. I don't care about that."
I just looked at it. I just didn't get it at all. "Max, I love you and that's all that matters to me. The only thing that matters to me is just this only and nothing else."
I said," I just know that, it hurts a lot. I just want one thing. He is him in my life and nothing else. There is nothing else that I want.
I just know one thing: I want it. I want him, I want him to be a part of my life. That's all that I want.
He came and looked at me. "Alena, I love you. I love you the most, my dear. I know that it will all be fine. I love you a lot, and the only thing that I want is that I want to stay with you. I am not going to marry someone else."
I said," I know one thing very well. That the only thing that I want right now in my life is him. I can't just let him go away from me. I can't let my parents decide something unfortunate for me.
"Alena, listens to me. I know you love me a lot, but at the same time, you have to respect your family, and they love you so much. This thing is definitely going to come that I didn't as dub as I should have been, and I know that definitely don't, but I love you, my dear and I don't want to hurt you by anything or your family."
I got tears in my eyes listing this all he just thinks so much about my family, who don't even know about his existence. It is a thing that if he does anything, then it's going to hurt my family and my family. I should talk to them.
"Max, I promise you that I will only marry you and nothing else. It's only going to be you. I will talk to them and make them understand that whatever they are talking about or whatever they think it's all not good."
He held my hand. "I will wait for that, dear, I will wait for you peacefully, okay don't worry, I am here, and I am going to be there for you."
I smiled at him. I have to talk to them. I accept that, whoever it would have been, it would definitely be their choice, but we can't help it every time.
I just have to do it. I don't know how I will be doing it. I just want one thing. He is in my life.
I got up from my chair, and then hugged Max. "I will give you a call as soon as I talk to them. Just remember this that I love it a lot."
With that, I made my way to my car, I talked about it and then made my way to my house. I got them in the car. The whole house was decorated by a new bride. I took a breath and then got the guys to talk to my mom about it. I went to her
"Mom, there is something that I want to talk about from you, your mom. I know that it could be like it will be wrong, but mom, this wedding I am not ready to marry I am not even know."
I said it with all the courage that I had. I just said it. I know that it was a bit mean, but I have to say it after all.
"Who told you that it was your wedding? Don't worry, we are not so cruel."
She said it with a laugh. Not my wedding. What does that supposed to mean? Then if it's not my wedding, then whose wedding is it?
"Mom whose wedding is it, then who is getting married mom?"
I asked her. She looked at me, "Your brother and Tatia."
"What?"
I was shocked as I heard it, my brother and Tatia. These are Andrew and Tatia.
"I just don't get it. What did you say to a person who has not even grown up properly, mom? Do they both know that something like this is going to happen to them know?"
Mom looked at me angry. "What is your problem, Alena, can't you keep quiet? I get it that you are hurt, or you want something you want if it's not like that, you can't control it now. I don't want you to interfere."
Mom said she couldn't see that. They are both small. They just know that they can't make them marry.
They are both small. I went to my father, "Dad, what is it dad, what is this are you both doing why are you doing it Dad, why you both cant see that they both are not just small, they are both very small Dad."
I said to him "Alena, I got what you are trying to say, but this is all about business, and sometimes we have to do things for business."
"Business I got it Dad, but they both have to do it. No Dad. He can't necessarily be Dad. They are both small. If they both want to be with each other in the future, then what will we do, Dad?"
" Alena, I can understand your concern, but at the same time, there are things where we can't use our hearts and they both have to marry each other, it's not just because of our friendship, it's because of this business and this world needs it."
I don't get it that what they think and what they are doing in this underworld is so many that it asks for so many things. Her brother, no. He is also out of town.
"But Dad, please dad, at least you should."
He got up and smiled at me. "That day will never come when Andrew will hate Tatia. He will always love her. We will make sure that you will make sure of that right."
He just said it and left. Comon Dad, you can't do this with these little punks.
I went to my room. I saw my phone ring "Max, what will I tell him now?"
I took a deep breath then picked up his phone.
On phone call
*Hello*
* He was scared of you. Is everything alright if they agree with us or not?*
* It's not about us. They don't want us to get married. They want Tatia and Andrew to be married for their business. I never expected that they'd ever do that.
*I said definitely I am not able to understand what I am supposed to say and what not.*
*but that is great in a way. They both know each other. They are
Together. Then what's the problem with that?*
* That is the only problem. I mean they are small if they love someone else and then, just because of this marriage, they have to be with each other without love.*
*Alena, then you have to talk to Tatia and Andrew. Maybe they will do something if they do not agree to marry each other. Then, no one will be able to do anything, then they will be forced into something that's not required.*
*cool I will try this also because I tried talking to mom and dad, but it was just of no use. They were like I should be quiet right now. I do not understand it.*
* It's okay, Alena, go and talk to them. Maybe you will be able to understand everything how or what they want. Then nothing wrong will happen. I trust you, Alena, that you will not let anything wrong happen.*
*thanks max*
End of Phone call
After talking to Max, it just gave me a sense of relaxation, that. Yes, whatever it is, I am okay with that. Cool, then I will go and talk to Tatia.
Because Andrew could get scared of Dad, he could not get scared of anyone.
I got up and then made my way to Tatia's house.
As I entered, I saw her parents. "Alena dear, how are you?"
"How can you do this with your daughter's aunt? What has she done for you? She has always tried to be a good daughter, and you have just."
I said it with disappointment.
"Alena, how many times do I have to tell you that you should not interfere in this matter? Why don't you get it?"
I said, I got it. I completely got it that I can't interfere. "Cool mom, you are saying that I can't interfere, but have you all asked Tatia and Andrew what they both want to do if they want to be with each other or not."
Mom held my hand. "Alena stopped creating scenes. They are kids, and we know what we are doing."
"No, I wish you all had known what you were all doing. What if, in the future?
Tatia will start up someone else or what if Amdrew starts to do it and Tatia is stuck there, no one will be happy?"
I was just saying when Tatia's father lost to Dad and said "Mathew, I know that you love and adore Alena a lot, but I don't think that we should have this father here there any moment."
I went to him and I was shocked. "Uncle, how come you can choose something like this. Why don't you see the future? Don't one know the future, uncle, be the one suffering, and you will all regret this decision that you are all making today."
No one is at all interested in me or what I am saying. I got it. I completely got it that they have all just made up, have all not going to listen to it all.
I said, I just know it very well. I didn't give up. "Uncle, forget about everything, tell me that you will be able to live in a piece if your one-and-only daughter is not be happy with her life partner."
Uncle looked at Dad. "We will both make sure that Andrew will always love Tatia and Tatia will always love Andrew. We will make sure of that, as a child definitely could definitely be wrong, but we will do it right."
Mom said she was right and is so confident that she will make it all right. "So you all just feel that you will all be able to make them happy. Great, don't think that there is any point in arguing with Alexander who knows about what you are all planning to do."
I said," I wish that you had been here, Alexander. I know even if I call you will never pick my call,
"Alena doesn't worry about Alexander. He is here to take care of him, and we will do that very well."
I was just quiet when Tatia came. "What's going on here, please all of you, just a humble request. Don't lie. We know that there is something that you. What are you all hiding from us? What is all it is?"
Tatia was asking question but no one said anything, "Mom why don't you tell her yourself what it is?"
Mom glared at me. "Tatia, I will tell you later. Okay, just relax now."
God, for how long are they going to hide it from everyone? "Alena, no one here is willing to tell us anything, but I believe that as a big sister you will tell me what it is. Please, Alena, don't keep quiet or lie. They are all doing what it is. That's the truth."
The way Tatia was asking me, it's not that I am going to lie to her, no I am not going to do that, not at all.
"Tatia, they all want you and Amdrew to get married. They want you both to get married today."
"Alnea." as I said it, mom shouted at me. Definitely they could be angry at me, but the person to whom these are all happening should at least know it.
"What marriage me and Andrew no that cant happen."
Tatia immediately said no one said anything in return. "Yes, definitely I can't marry her. She is just a good friend but not pretty enough to be my wife. I am not going to marry her."
As Andrew said this, Dad looked at him with anger, "No way, I am sorry. I am extremely sorry, but just let me tell you one thing, that this will happen, and I didn't ask for your permission Andrew, you have to marry her."
What kind of pressure is this that they both don't want to be with each other, but our parents are forcing them to be together. How come they can act like this?
"I am sorry, mom, Dad, uncle, but I can't marry Andrew. But he can't because he is fat. But it's because, what if we both like someone else, then what we do will hate each other hate"
Tatia said she is smart and calm at the same time. I just hope that they will listen to her.
Her father said to her,"I know my love and I got your point, but if there is something that I feel that your, Sandra, mom feels that your uncle feels it can be wrong, it's not something that will not make you happy. I believe that the one who is best for you is him."
Her father told her, I was just looking at Tatia, Who was not satisfied with any of the answers or any of the statements. Definitely she is At a point where she is being hurt and in a spot where it's hurting her.
"I got it, I definitely got your point, but it is that I want to marry someone for whom I will fall for, whom I will love Dad, and if, in the future, it will be Andrew, then it will be great would marry each other at that time."
I smiled at her, her innocence. I wish that Alexander would also have been like his sister., Who knows what she wants.
Just because I am not pure blood, I am not from this kingdom, he was rejected because he didn't want to lose his power and did his Mafia chair.
I just want his sister to marry a common person who falls for her and loses her power of this authority.
Definitely I am concerned, but at the same time, I want pain for him, exactly the same pain which he had been through when he slept with me and, the next day, announced Summer as his girlfriend.
