Chapter-2 Think about Marriage

KAITLYN'S POV

Here, I am sitting with my phone. Scrolling it here and there on social media. What else can I do?

I have packed everything. The trip is just for two days. And I am excited. "Kaitlyn, come down. Carla is here." Mom yelled from downstairs.

"Coming," I said. I ran downstairs.

"Carla," I shouted, hugging her.

She is my high school friend. Not that best friend but still she is close to me. "Darling, you look gorgeous." She winked at me.

"Let's go, it's time," I told her.

The servants gave me my suitcase and I went out of the house.

"Hey, please take your car," Carla said

"Why?"

"Amelia was going to take her car but now, she refused. And after all, you are the one who has a car among us." She explained

"Fine, I will be back," I said

I ran inside the house and took the car keys. I bid goodbye to mom and dad again and came out.

We sat inside the car. After driving for a few minutes, Amelia and Angelina joined us. They are in a cab.

I was still driving.

"Umm, Kaitlyn. I wanna talk about something." She said

"Go on, what are you waiting for?" I said, still my eyes fixed on the road.

First of all, it's all dark here. Because the farmhouse is in the way of forests. It's an open and fresh area.

"Kaitlyn, I have two things to tell you." She said

"Umm-hmm" I nodded

"Umm, huh! I am dating Nicole. And the second thing is that I want to be a journalist but mom and dad are against this."

"What? You are dating that idiot. Huh? You are a fool, Carla. I warned you about this. I told you that he is a playboy. He proposed to me also." I said to her,

"Kaitlyn, anyone can change themselves when they are in love. And Nicole is changing himself for me."

I nodded and then sighed.

"Nicole has promised me. He will leave every bad thing which he used to do." She said with a smile.

"Fine, if you say this. But why are your parents not allowing you to do journalism?" I asked her. "Don't know!" She shrugged her shoulders.

"Don't know? Do you even tell them about your choice?" I said

"Yeah, I explained this to them but they are just not allowing me." She took a deep breath. "You are lucky, Kaitlyn. You have parents who support you at every step."

"Shut up! Don't compare now! They are your parents. They have a good future for you. Don't you think so?"

"Correct! I will talk to them again." She said

"Good!"

We were in the car when she sang.

"I can swear, I can joke

I say what's on my mind

If I drink, if I smoke

I keep up with the guys.

And you see

Me holding up my

Middle finger to the world

F*ck your ribbons

And your pearls

Cause I'm not

Just a pretty girl"

She stopped and looked at me.

"Isn't it suiting my condition?" She laughed

"Maybe" I nodded

As we reached the farmhouse. We ran inside. Angelina welcomed us as if it was her farmhouse. She switched on the lights.

It was all a wooden interior with ancient royal paintings.

Angelina started the songs. They even didn't allow me to sit and pulled me to dance. I also started to enjoy it. I was shouting the song, laughing, and giggling like a small kid. Ugh, I am like this. Sorry!

As we were tired. We sat on the couch placed in the hall. We started to watch a movie as time passed.

It's around 2:30 a.m. I am not sleepy but here these three girls are sleeping. I switched off the lights and came out of the house.

I sat on the grass, staring at the shining stars on this night.

Does love change people? Can a person change themselves for their love?

What nonsense? It's nothing. Carla is madly trusting him. She should at least think about her future. If Nicole would not be the one for her. She would regret her life decision.

I closed my eyes when suddenly, an email popped on my phone. I checked it. Oh my, oh my goodness!!! It's an offer from the biggest fashion design company. Yes! Yes! Yes! I got excited and ran inside the house.

"Carla! Amelia! Angelina! Come on, get up!" I shouted, jumping here and there. "Girls, get up!" I shouted in excitement.

They got up from their precious sleep. They looked at me, confusedly.

"What girls? I mean, you know what? I got an offer from the biggest fashion design company. I am so hell-excited." I shouted.

They looked at me with angry witches' faces.

"Huh? What? Aren't you girls happy for me?" I asked them.

"We should have been on the seventh sky if you wouldn't break our sleep," Amelia yelled at me.

"One – One-second girls! Fine, I am sorry but you know that...that it's my dream to be a fashion designer. I don't want to lose that opportunity. I got excited." I lowered my head in embarrassment, biting my lower lip.

"It's okay! Well, congratulations, Kaitlyn Forester." Angelina hugged me.

They congratulated me.

"Huh, girls. Till now, I want to give them my interview. It's Monday morning." I told them. "Good!" They exclaimed

Suddenly, I got a call from my dad. This is late!!! Oh, I forgot to call him. He must be worried for me.

"Hey, dad!" I said as I picked up the call.

"What, Kaitlyn? You didn't even call me."

"Sorry! Sorry, dad! I...I forgot, sorry."

"Huh! Okay!" He relaxed. He seemed relieved after hearing my voice.

"Dad, I am enjoying it so much here," I exclaimed.

"Good! Umm, I want to talk about something."

"Yes, dad" I replied

"Kaitlyn, what do you think about marriage?" He asked me.

My eyes widened at the question I just heard. He never asked anything like this. Now, suddenly?

I took some deep breaths. I am not ready for marriage. It is a very big decision. I don't know how to handle the responsibilities.

"Dad?" I said.

"Please, tell me"

"Hmm, dad. I never thought about all this. I even think it's too early for me. Now, don't tell me you are finding a guy for me, please." I chuckled.

"Hmm-huh? Yeah!" He hesitated.

"Everything okay?" I asked him.

"Of course, all good!" Saying this, he ended the call.

What's wrong with my parents?
