Ill do it , Mom .
Ill marry the guy you chose for me , I said .
In the darkness of the living room , my voice sounded stiff and melancholic .
Mom was shocked to hear that I was agreeing to the marriage alliance she previously proposed .
I thought you didnt want to do it ? Why are you agreeing to it now ? Marriage isnt a game , Vicky .
It doesnt matter if you dont want to get married .
I just want you to be happy .
You need to be sure about what youre doing .
Dont make rash decisions .
Tearing up at her words , I replied , Ive thought things through , Mom .
You guys can proceed with the wedding preparations .
Mom knew I was upset .
After a moment of silence , she started comforting me , saying , Your dad and I have always known that your relationship with Isaac wouldnt last .
Youve been with him for so many years now , but he has refused to make things official between you two or even let the families meet each other .
This time , her words cut me like a knife .
Alas , everyone else could see the situation clearly .
I was the only clueless one .
Your dad and I both agreed that Henry Langford would make an excellent husband for you .
While we cant make guarantees about everything , at the very least, we can assure you that he is a fine young man of decent character and comes from a distinguished family , too .
You deserve the best , Vicky .
Taking a deep breath , I replied , Thanks , Mom .
I trust your and Dads judgment .
Shall I arrange for you and Henry to meet each other sometime soon ? Mom asked .
Its fine .
You guys can just go ahead and plan the wedding , I answered .
Once the call ended , Isaac Emerson appeared behind me with a small cake in hand .
He asked me curiously , What wedding ? Whos getting married ? It was my wedding .
I was getting married .
I silently responded to his question as I couldnt bring myself to say the words out loud .
Shaking my head , I replied , Its nothing .
A friend of mine is getting married .

Once I said that , I saw the way his expression relaxed noticeably , and that made me feel bitter .
