Here you are girl".Patricia stepped into Kavya's room " I heard ." She sat down next to her friend on the large bed " And just like that, I'm loosing control of my life. Classic". She sinks deeper into the bed " Don't say that, your mom loves you. Whatever she does is for your own good. Come on Kavya, you of all people should know that". She said, while stroking Kavya's head. " A marriage." she snaps "An arranged fuckin marriage" She yells. Patricia stood and walked towards the table for a class of water . "Breathe, girl." She hands the glass to her Kavya looked up at her, her voice barely a whisper. " I can't believe this is happening to me, THE Kavya." " Can't blame her ," Kavaya shot her a look " Okay maybe she went a little overboard " Kavya laughed bitterly. "You think I've built everything just to be handed over to someone I don't even know?" "No," Patricia said. "But maybe this guy is just as pissed off about it as you are." Kavya leaned deeper into her bed,eyes narrowed. " Oh I highly doubt that, I'm sure Gerald Van Dyke must be please about this whole arrangement, elated even-- Patricia Screeches " Gerald? the Gerald of V.D groups? OMG babes you've just hit a jackpot" " Will you stop fanning over him? " She throws a pillow at her " He's so hot," she giggles catching the pillow " Really stop, you're not helping". Get's out of bed. " His coming with his family for dinner next week." She sighs Walking towards her friend " I'm sorry Kavya, truly I am. It's all happening so fast." She wraps her arms around Kavya. Van Dyke's mansion " She's pretty," He sets the picture aside " Not to mention hardworking, ambitious and confident". Mr Charles, Gerald's father chips in " You know how I feel about women, I'm sorry dad but I can't go through with this". " Oh son", He spoke calmly " I understand you, which is why I've gone to great lengths in insuring I find the perfect bride for you" " I won't do this and you can't make me" She spoke firmly " Kavya's mother and I have known each other since our college days. She's an amazing woman. She has been through so much yet, she raised an incredible daughter and an amazing business woman". " I am doing so well, infact I'm one of the top CEOs in the world, so I don't need a spoilt princess who would ruin my life" " This is about your mother and I, isn't it"? "You gave her a kidney, you gave her a better life, damn it dad, you gave that bitch everything! " He bellows."Yet she chose to run off with your business partner" "Gerald you will get married to Kavya and that is final, she's not your mother or my ex wife." He stood up with his hands behind his back " This union isn't just for business but also for your legacy" He sighs " I'm a grown man". He stood up facing his father " You can't order me around pops Laughs dryly " Perhaps, but I'm still your father". He gently makes his way to leave " We'll be having dinner at her place next week,You'll get to meet Kavya and her mother. I highly suggest you propose to her--- " That won't happen " interrupting his father. " Oh well, prepare to organize the grandest funeral America has ever seen then" " What are you saying dad?" There was a hint of panic in his voice " If you insist on going against this marriage and becoming a bachelor for the rest of your life then, it will be over my dead body". " Dad come on " He moves towards his dad "If you do not marry Kavy, His voice hanging in the air " I will donate my last kidney to the hospital".
