Chapter 101
Please marry me... Please marry me... Please marry me...
The words keep playing in an infinite loop in her head ever since he said them. She hadn't given him an answer yet...she couldn't...she had been dumbstruck by his proposal. She couldn't properly place his thoughts - whether it was empathy towards her and her sufferings or a release for his own.
I promise to give it my all... I promise to give it my all... I promise to give it my all...
Her eyes closed and her head fell back on the headboard where she was sitting on the bed. Ever since the meeting with him, neither had she been able to erase his words from her mind, nor had she been able to focus on getting anything else done. She seemed to have drifted in her own little world...which had no place for anyone or anything else except her and his words.
Please marry me... Please marry me... Please marry me...
His words reverberated again. She didn't know what to do. Nothing she did would empty her mind that was now filled with his words. She was a little annoyed...realizing the effect he had on her. She didn't necessarily like it...specially because she barely knew him. She had seen him a few times and interacted with him even lesser. Yet, his words had refused to leave her...
The ball is in your court... The ball is in your court... The ball is in your court...
It hadn't been long since she had met him...only a couple days. He had left the decision to her, which made it even harder for her. He had not contacted her during this time. She kept looking at her phone from time to time...waiting for what, she didn't quite know. She didn't expect him to call or text, but something made her look forward to something. She tried to reason it out, but did it anyway.
Please marry me... Please marry me... Please marry me...
She heard a knock on the door and it cracked open just a little bit. Her mother peeked in and she nodded, asking her to come in. Her mother came in, her father in tow. She knew why they were here. But she had no answer for them yet. They sat down next to her on the bed and asked her if she had decided anything. Just as she was about to reply in negative, her phone beeped...
Beep: Hey
It was from him. Against all odds, against her own mind and against her wish, she nodded to her parents in affirmation for the marriage. Their excitation levels shot up all of a sudden and both hugged her and left the room to share the good news with the parties involved... leaving her alone to wonder why she did what she did...
