I know Sister is not interested in this alliance, so I don’t have to worry about that, so I gave him a small nod in agreement, which only they noticed, and they smiled and said yes to them.
Finally, it is time for their leave. I know Sister is not ready for this alliance, but still, I am not feeling good, and somehow, I don’t know how to react right now, and that all thought was making me sick.
Grandfather felt my dilemma and took me aside and said,
“Princess, I know this all is very hard for you to digest, but trust me, Azar is a very good boy. He will take care of you and give you the respect you deserve. You just have to give him some time, as he is difficult as a person, but he is like a hard coconut from the outside, but he is the softest person you will find when you enter his heart. Give him a chance, please, princess. He will never disappoint you.” Grandfather’s eyes were craving my agreement.
I nodded in agreement with everything he said, but inside I was having havoc with my emotions. I don’t know what to say. He gave me a small hug and said bye, to which I replied with a smile.
I was standing with sister, and everyone was bidding goodbye to each other, and I noticed him coming towards us, and my heartbeat rose like a thousand miles per hour. ‘Now, what does this arrogant creature want?’ I thought.
He came to us and said, “So happy, Miss Morosini?”
I assume Sanya must have told him her decision when they went to the garden, and then he looked at me.
Man, his eyes are hypnotic. I just looked in there, and then he said, “Congratulations. My Queen Marstrand is waiting for their queen.”
God, his voice, and hearing My Queen from him-I don’t know why I blush so hard. And I am sure he must have noticed my red cheeks as well.
Damn, it is so embarrassing. So, I started looking here and there instantly.
After giving me a last look, she sat in the car and left.
We all came back to the living room and sat. I know they all worried about sister, and she looked confused, which I don’t know why, but then Grandpa spoke.
“Sanya dear, we are sorry Azar chose Ara instead of you, but don’t worry, we will get the best boy for you.”
Hearing that sister say, “No Grandpa, I am ok with this, and I am sorry to say that I did not like him and said no to him when we went to the garden. As you all know, my thoughts about my future and this guy were not up to the mark.” She spoke while holding her chin high.
‘Gosh, why does she sometimes behave so highly herself?’
Hearing this, my mom fumed in anger, and I was wondering what else she wanted if not this.
And Mom said, “You stupid girl, do you even know who this guy is? We all know what kind of person you want in your life. That is why we got this alliance for you, but you ruined it for yourself, and in your ego, you fool.”
I noticed disappointing looks on Father and Grandpa, and I felt bad for them.
I know if they have decided something, it must be good for us, but Sanya did not trust them, and I am sure that must have broken their hearts.
I could see Sanya was still confused, so Mom said, “He is Azar Oldenburg, the most eligible bachelor in Sweden and the Top 10 billionaire in the world, and most importantly, he is King of Marstrand, Gotaland Sweden, you idiot. But now we cannot do anything as he has already chosen Ara, and practically, she is now his fiance.”
I can see the pale face of Sanya in this news. I don’t know why, but I want to laugh, as she always thinks only she is right. How can she think Mom and Father will form the alliance for her, which is not up to her choice?
God, what have you done?
And now I understand why she was not even interested in knowing what this guy did from the beginning.
She never asked Mom and Dad about him.
And I, on the other hand, used to think she was such a good daughter. Who does not even want to know anything about that guy because she trusts our elders so much? And I laugh internally at my thoughts.
Grandpa looks at me and says, “Ara. I know this is all too much for you, but trust me, he is a very good boy. I have seen him grow up; he is very sharp, and I am sure he must have seen some good quality in you; that’s why he has chosen you.”
Hearing this Sanya speak, I said, “No, Grandpa, he just wanted to take revenge on me. As I said no to him, that is why he has chosen Ara, or else tell me what he will see in her in two hours.”
Hearing her, I suddenly felt dejected. I felt like I was a toy and someone had chosen me because he could not get the other one.
Or am I a replacement for Sanya?
Or else he must choose any of us because of Grandfather and Grandpa’s friendship.
These thoughts made my mood sour.
I started feeling nausea, and I stood up and went to drink the water.
Once I was back in my room, Sanya came to me and said, “I am sorry, Ara. You have to become my replacement, but don’t worry, I will talk to Grandpa and tell him you are not ready for this.” The word replacement is making me sick.
I looked at her and could see the sadness in her eyes, and I told her, no, Sanya, it is ok. I don’t want to hurt anyone, especially Grandpa. He was very excited about this alliance, and he still is. I cannot break his heart.”
