Chapter 8

Red, I could only see Red I was raging like a bull, if that uncle of her would appear in front of me right now I would kill that greedy bastard, didn't he felt any sympathy for his own niece, how could he do this to her, she looks so young, so innocent so fragile but he abused her and was going to marry her off with another filthy bastard. How could he. Her every tear was making my heart ache, how much she had suffered in such a young age, how much. I wanted to console her, hug her, I wanted to let her know that no matter what I would always be there to protect her...

But I was so mad on her uncle that I snapped at her, when everyone was there to make her feel good, I shouted on her and blamed her like everything was her fault, no it was not. None of this was her fault but still I made her upset I am such a Jerk.

Wait, wait Mason, what are you even thinking, You are feeling bad for her, when you hardly know her, what are you doing trusting another women, so that you can suffer one more heartbreak. How could you do that Mason, you can't, this is a trap. Like this only they play with Man's emotion. They seem to be innocent but they are not. Yes you need to stay away from her far away from her. She is no one. I was busy fighting with my inner turmoil, I didn't notice when my mom sat beside me with an envelope in her hand, I gave her a warm smile and she smiled back..

Jenna – see honey, these are the pictures of some girls that I have shortlisted. They all belong to very good family and are highly educated. You see, whoever you like we will fix a meeting with her and then will proceed further. I am so happy you said yes..

I don't know what else she was blabbering, I am too numb to react, oh god!! I was too busy all the day that I totally forgot about this problem Damn it, Now what will you do Mason, think something boy, think...

After two years my Mother has finally accepted her husband’s death and was trying to move on. The only bad part about this was she was using me to move on.

She wants me to get married and just for her sake, I even said yes. I mean could have I done. I was so happy seeing her finally coming back to normal that I couldn’t help but agree on whatever she asked without thinking the consequences and now here we are..

Mason – Mom please I don't want to see these pictures please just put them aside...

Jenna – But why Son, if you won't see pictures, how will you choose a girl for you...

Mason – I don't need to choose Mom, I have already chosen a girl for me..

Oh shit!! What did I just do, I am in deep shit Man, Mom had her mouth wide open with shock, yeah obviously she would be shocked, yesterday I was not even ready for marriage and now here I am telling her that I like someone and why on earth I am thinking about that Spencer, by saying I like a girl. Oh come on Mason concentrate. Mom is still in shock, but there were 2 more people who were standing like they have seen a ghost. Daniel and Caleb oh god no!!

Mom followed my gaze and saw Daniel and Caleb standing there, she immediately smiled at them.

Jenna – You two here, at this hour? Did Nancy threw you out of the house sweety?

Caleb – Yeah something like that Jenna. Nancy’s childhood friend is there, so girls decided to have a girls night in, and we are kind of kicked out...

Wow, seriously so I have to bear them both now, well good for me, I could have at least someone to talk to and discuss this also I think I need to apologize for my rude behavior earlier. I took this as an opportunity to end this marriage discussion and wished Mom a good night as I want to spend some time with my friends. She left from there tossing the girl's discussion aside, which she really wanna talk about. Well I need to come up with something.

Daniel – Hey Buddy, what did you say to Mom, are you really in love again or what?

Mason- Don't be crazy boy, Mom was continuously pestering me to meet some of the girls, I could only think of this to avoid all this.

Caleb – Wow smartass, What an idea, to get out from one trouble you jumped into another with your own will. Now when Mom will ask to meet her future daughter in law, what you gonna do about it?

I am already tensed and this man is not helping the matter at all..

Mason – Shut up will you.

Caleb – Yeah why not as you say.

Mason – Stop irritating me and sorry for what happened at your house last evening, I didn't mean to...

Caleb- It's fine man I understand..

Daniel – well, I think you need to rest buddy, You seems worn out and don't worry, we all will figure out something by tomorrow, Before Jenna wakes up we all will gather at this man’ place. Then we will consult the girls and will make some plan. Let's just retire to bed now.

Yeah Daniel is right, I need a sleep and a free mind which do not consist any thought of that stranger.. I wished them good night and move to my room. I changed in my comfy clothes and lied down on my bed trying to sleep but that stranger in a bridal gown didn't leave my thoughts.
