IF ONLY

Chapter 2

Azad's pov

I slowly pull away from her swollen lips panting, I held her hands tight in mine.

"so how have you been?" i ask the girl in front of me

"oh common let's just continue making out, what's the use of talking?" i laugh softly at her

"nope I have to go, but we'll continue this next time" she whines disagreeing with my decision, but I end up leaving.

******

Arriving home, I tiptoed slowly into the house trying to walk as quiet as possible.

"where the hell have you been? it's 2:00 am in the morning for God's sake." my mom's voice came from the living room.

"by the smell of smoke and booze on him, I'll say he came back from the club again." my dad answered with a calm look on his face which was unusual

"come sit, we have to talk." i entered the living room and sat on the rug leaning on the couch behind me which was facing the  Royal single chair my mom was sitting on.

I was waiting for my parents to start complaining about my bad attitude, it's what they're always ranting about. This time my dad says something that blew my mind, something that'll change my whole life.

"you're getting married." oh hell No

"what are you taking about? I don't remember talking to you about being interested in any girl."

"of course not I chose her for you, and before you decline it just know if you do you lose the company." that quickly sobered me up form my slight drunk state

"but baba you can't, I don't even know this girl. For all I know she's an ugly girl with a shitty personality, please reconsider it?" i beg my dad for the first time in a long time

"that's my final decision Azad, it either you marry who I've chose for you or you lose your place at the company." i felt a bile rise up my throat, and for the first time in a long time I know that this was out of my control. My dad has me right where he wants me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

******

I was losing it, I can't believe my dad is trying to tie me down by marrying me off, On top of that he threatened Me.
I was presently In the living room with my dad talking to the girls uncle who's also her guardian, apparently she lost her dad.

"the wedding is a month from now" my dad announced snapping me out of my little trans.

"are you okay with that?" the strange big bellied asks me

"yup, overjoyed" i reply barely able to keep the fake smile on my face as real as possible. after he left, It's just my dad and I.

"well you've heard it all, start preparing yourself because I won't let you embarrass me" i nod courtly silently seething, I don't know who this girl is but I'll make her pay for all this.

******

I was now at syde resort with by friends Bala and hamdi, I met Bala back when I was in primary 3 and hamdi jss1. We just stuck together after that...

"i still can't believe you're getting married, I mean you're the last person I thought would settle down." bala said sounding shocked

"the worst part is he doesn't even know what she looks like, at least not until the day of their wedding." hamdi replied with a smirk, he was enjoying this a little too much.

"well it doesn't matter does it? One thing I'm sure of is that girl will wish she wasn't born, I'll make sure of that" i add clenching my teeth so hard my jaw ticks.

"oh come on don't blame the poor girl, for all you know she might have been forced to marry you as well." bala suggested

"excuse you have you seen me? I'm sure she saw how handsome, ric, and undeniably attractive I am and decided she wants me." a smirk played on my lips

Hamdi and bala both rolled their eyes, "you're so conceited it hurts." hamdi smack my shoulder playfully and we laughed it off.

Arriving home mama was sitting with her sisters chatting and laughing, 9 boxes were sitting around as they arranged it.

"you're back early today? Just in time. Your boxes just arrived, we're trying to fit all the stuff in them" aunty balaraba smiled widely while talking

"I'm tired aunty, I know you'll take care of it." i reply swallowing hard

"well then, why don't you go upstairs I have a surprise for you" i nod smiling at mama before bolting upstairs

Imagine my surprise when I was standing face to face with ya Ayman and lablah. She screeched before Jumping on me, hugging me tight.

"oh you've gotten heavy you brat, but gosh have I missed you" i held her tight feeling a bit emotional

"you like exaggerating things, I've lost wight." she says rolling her eyes.

"uhmm, sure. You shouldn't behave like that you know, you should be a gentleman seeing you're getting married in a month." Ayman teased his eyes shining with amusement

"I am aren't I?" my mind races at the horrible fate that befall me
