an idea is a start.
for two weeks now i have feared this dreadful day. i knew it was coming but i had hoped that it wouldn't be this soon. lord why me? for some time now i knew of my Inevitable fate. you see my parents or should i say my father had chosen my life for me from birth. he died a year ago and his dying wish was for me to marry the man he chose for me. i am totally against the idea but arguing is futile. my mother is hell bent on going through with it. "it was your father's last wish" she would say. i hate when she say it like that. makes me feel like i did something wrong. well can't change it no matter what so i best just deal with it. mother say he's not so bad. "he's nice, handsome, and smartt" she say. i dont think she understand what to look for in a guy. she don't get that it's not just about looks or smarts, their more. plenty more.
"hiro come here please. you have a visitor" she called.
i let out a sigh and tried to ignore he but she kept calling.
"hiro come now." she yelled. i could hear the anger in her voice at this point. i smiled to myself. i told myself that i would not talk to her or anyone for that matter again. a promise that i knew i would not be able to keep. it sounded right in my head. i slowly walk down the stairs. i thought it was alida my so call best friend but to my surprise it wasn't. it was a man not much older than me standing in my living room. as i walked in he stopped talking to mother and turn to me with a great big smile on his face.
"hi there miss hiro" he said. that kind of made me feel older than i actually is. i didn't say anything to him. i turned to mom with an annoyed look. seeing that she said " this is william your fiance". my mouth literally fell open. i wanted to scream 'you called me down here for that how much time did i tell you i aint getting married' i swallowed the words and just turn to leave. before i could go he grabbed my arm and said " wait i know am the last person you want to see but i think we should at least get to know each other" i pulled my arm away and continued up the stairs to my room. behind me i could hear mother apologizing and yelling at me all at the same time.
a while later i heared a knock at my door. when i opened it up it was him standing there. he smiled and apologized.
"i don't think we got off on the right foot..." i cut him off before he was finish.
"look if mother sent you hear just go back am not in the mood. ok. why aren't you mad about this hole marriage thing?"
"well that's because i really like you hiro. i've always liked you."
"yeah sure. don't give me that crap"
"you dont believe me? "
"heck no"
"well i'll prove it"
"how"
"well that part you might not want to do" i almost slamed the door in his face at that point.
"i propose we date for a while get to know each other and the worksand if that don't prove i love you then i'll do all i can to to call off the engagement but if you honestly feel the same for me we get married."
"what is wrong with you? why would someone so young want to go through the tortures of marrisge?"
"what's your answer?"
"how long?"
"about six months we have to date for"
"why so long?"
"more time to get to know each other."
"what if we start arguing constantly?"
"well we could call it quits but you have to really try though. you can't just argue for the fun of it."
"i'll have to think about it"
"ok. i'll stop by tomorrow for the answer. until the good day."
"yeah. whatever." i closed the door as he leaves. i guess he does seem nice but he could be pretending. i like a challenge though. this could be interesting.
