It was a relief to even hear her voice, but she was not ready to listen to anything… I have never seen her being this stubborn… She said things that could break my heart into pieces… But I could understand one thing apparently… She is just pretending to ignore me and confident about her decision… My poor baby is crying inside though she showed a brave face…
I think she took this decision without even waiting for me to get recovered because she is afraid of my life… She might think that Andrew is behind my accident, and she wants to protect me… Yeah… That must be the reason… That is how my little princess is… So selfless and caring…
Without even thinking twice, I started to remove the wires and tubes that were connected to my body. Fu** the treatments, I must protect my love first…
“What the fu** are you going to do?” Luke screamed, and at the same moment, dad entered the room…
“Jake!!!” he shouted, coming towards me.
Sarah’s POV
Our engagement was organized at the same hotel where Luke’s birthday party was held. That hotel is the biggest and most expensive one in the area. So my mom wanted to have it there, no matter how much I dislike it.
For me, having the engagement in that hotel was torture. This whole engagement is itself torture that’s true, but having it in a place where I had some heart touching memories of my Jake is unbearable.
But I let them have it in their way, what else I could do?
Andrew had booked me a room in that hotel to get ready. He had arranged the makeup artists, hairdressers, and everyone to make me look gorgeous for the occasion. They took some time, making me look elegant… When I see myself from the mirror, it was hard to even believe I am that gorgeous!
They all left the room, leaving me alone. It was around 6.45, and our function was planned to begin at 7. How happy and excited I would be if this engagement is between my Jake and me? At least I was lucky enough to get engaged to him secretly before all these dramas happen. Now, there is only one ambition I have that is to reveal Andrew’s real face to everyone!!!
I was thinking about my plan when someone opened the door…
“Sarah…” with that voice, I even forgot where I was and what I was about to do…
Jake’s POV
“Jacob, What the hell are you going to do?” dad asked, coming towards me. His voice was firm, and that tone made me stop the stupid thing I was doing.
I need to go there. I need to meet my Princess, but how am I going to explain that to dad? They had to go through a lot because of this accident. So how can I ask them to let me go that far even before I fully recovered? However, I have to do this, I have to let them know about Sarah and me first, then ask them to let me go. I can’t lose my princess… I don’t have a life without her been part of it.
“Dad, Tomorrow is my birthday. Can I get my birthday wish earlier?” I asked, putting the trump card.
Dad’s face changed a bit… He seemed confused, but he nodded in agreement.
Just then, mom also entered the room. That’s good. If dad tried to oppose, mom would be able to change his decision.
“Jake said he needs his birthday wish earlier.” dad said, looking at mom.
Mom smiled, looking at me.
“Really. That’s strange. Usually, you refuse any gifts.” mom said.
“Yes, mom, but this time I need this. Honestly, this is the only thing I want from you two.” I said.
Mom and dad looked at each other confusedly.
“I love a girl…” I said the thing I was so afraid to tell in front of them for all this time. But at that moment, I was a thousand percent confident and fearless…
Mom and dad again looked at each other… Mom’s face became bright while dad’s face got darken. Just like I thought. But I am not going to stop now.
“She is just a normal girl from a common family. She is not a beauty queen, but for me, she is the most beautiful girl in the whole world. She is smart and has a good heart.”
“Don’t go around the bush, Jake. Just tell us what do you need. Do you need our approval for this girl? We can’t give approval to a girl just like this, ask her to come and meet us. We can promise you that we won’t even think about her family background or social status.” dad said. As always, he is direct and honest. He hates when people don’t speak to the point. He wants everyone to tell the truth and be as direct as him.
Anyway, his character saved me from a really awkward explanation.
“Yes, Dad, I need your approval. But that is not my birthday wish. I have a small problem, and I need your support to solve that, that is my wish. After that, you can meet her and see if she can be a part of my life. I have no doubts that you both would love her.” I said. “So, what is the problem you have now?” dad asked.
“Sarah… Well… That’s her name… Sarah thinks it is Andrew, who is behind my accident.”
“What, Andrew? You mean our Andrew?” mom asked shockingly.
“Yes, mom…”
“Why she thinks like that?” dad asked.
“It is really complicated, dad… Andrew is also in love with her.” I said.
“So she thinks since Andrew is in love with her, he tried to kill you? That is ridiculous. Andrew is just an i***t, but he can’t harm even a mosquito.” dad said firmly.
You know nothing about him, dad… He is so evil than you think.
“I also don’t think Andrew will ever try to hurt you…” mom agreed with dad.
They both think it is Andrew’s dad who is cruel. According to them, Andrew is just a pawn in his game.
“Actually, Andrew had threatened her that he will hurt me if she doesn’t agree to marry him,” I said.
“What!” mom exclaimed.
“I said he is an i***t. He was just trying to make her afraid.” dad said quickly.
“Dad actually so many things happened during the past few months that make us believe he is capable of even killing me. That’s why she thinks it is him who is responsible for the accident.” I said.
“What are those things you referred, Jake? Why don’t I know about any of them?” dad asked.
“Dad… Please… I beg you… I will tell you everything later. I don’t have much time now…” I said anxiously.
“Okay, what you need us to do now?”
“When I was in the coma, Andrew has convinced her to marry him, threatening her with my life.”
“So she agreed to marry him?” mom asked. She looked sad…
“Yes, mom, she has agreed to that to protect me, and she is now even refusing to talk to me. She pretends like she took this decision because she thinks I cheat on her.””
“What? Did you cheat on her?” mom asked angrily.
“No, mom… I didn’t… That is a long story too… I will tell you later. However, I know she talks about this cheating thing just to avoid me. I need to talk to her and let her know that I know the true reason behind her behavior and stop her from doing this stupid thing. I have to hurry up because she is getting engaged to Andrew today evening.” I said. I know I put my poor parents in utter confusion. This is not the way I wanted to talk to them about Sarah… But now, I don’t have any other options. I have to hurry up… “Today evening!!!” mom again exclaimed.
