High School: Way to Forever -
Chapter 155: Betrothed!
Cold waves of wind were blowing in her direction as the rain started pouring more. Lightning never stopped and it looked as if today, the whole cloud will burst on them. All dark right now, it was like a night in the daylight. While everyone was trying to save themselves under this condition, Anna's face was in deep horror. It was if she had seen a gost in her real life.
But the scene in front of her right now was no less than a dream. She never imagined Alex to propose her under these circumstances. They have been friends for such a short period!
But a joyous thing was, he feels the same ay for her as she feels.
Never in her life, anyone has proposed her by going down on his knees! This is the dream of every girl that their man proposes them in this manner and they usually get happy. But it does not inflect even a bit of happiness on her face even though her heart was on cloud night.
Both hands were grabbed by Alex gently. He held them with gentleness but at the same time, his grip was tight too. She knew he must be waiting for her answer but what shall she answer him?!
Anna's world was revolving right now. It looked like even the weather was not even in their favor because of such, dangerous weather which brought more sadness in their lives!
"Anna….." Alex felt more and more nervous building up in his stomach. She was shocked and looked like a statue at that moment. Alex did not know why Anna was taking so long.
'Her feelings for him were also the same, right?'
As if hearing his voice, Anna came out of the shock she was in. Her body was not reacting much but her mind was still working well.
Looking at her hands, she took them back from his grip and even stepped a little back. Confussion was all ovr wrtten on her face!
Looking at her action, Alex was confused. He stood up and looked into her eyes as if replaceing the answers to his own questions. But all he got was fear, fear of what he does not know.
Anna felt her head will surely burst with so many questions arising in her mind. She loves him. Yes! There was no doubt in this that she loves him now. This feeling is nothing but love, which she has felt earlier too!
She loves him a lot. Anna understand that this is nothing but something, she wishes to have in her life, a true love just like Seb and Shaira!
But loving someone and coming in a relationship are two different things. Anna looked up and into his eyes and made sure, she sounds confident enough to face him.
"I can't...Alex." Anna felt her heart was twisting now. It damn hurts so much that she might die from this internal pain of hurting him. Her hands were now converted into a fist!
Hearing her answer, Alex frowned. "Why, Anna? You don't love me? Was everything we witnessed in the hills, yard, on my birthday was fake? No! It was not fake.." he can't accept the fact that she does not love him. He had seen the same intensity he held for her, in her eyes too!
"I love you too Alex!"
Alex felt his heart skip a beat when he heard her confession for him. Did she love him right? He was not wrong to judge her love for him! His world was full of joy. She confessed him finally! The thing he was looking forward to!
She might love him more as compared to his love for her. Alex felt his smile returning back on his face. He was going to touch Anna's face and kiss her but stopped when he heard her next words.
"But I can never come in a relationship with anyone, not even with you."
Amna has to clear everything for him. She can't give him any fake hopes just like she received once. He will be hurt once, but she was sure he will replace someone else too. Better than her! It will hurt her heart badly to see him with someone else but she has to let go of him. Anna can't be selfish to hold him back.
"Why?" Alex asked with an expressionless face. He did not know how to even react this time. He was not only rejected but a sudden sadness covered him.
"Because…." Anna did not have that much courage to tell him the real reason for her this decision.
But he is also the one who is affected by it. He has full rights to know the reason! Why she is not coming close to him even when she loves him!?
"I want to know what is holding you, Anna! If there is something just tell me I will solve your problem. If someone is teasing you just tell me! I have that power…" Alex tried his best to convince her. H..He has that power to fight with soemone who is taking her away! Her family, parents? He will surely convince them.
But all he needs a yes from bototm of her heart!
Anna just closed her eyes to stop the tears coming out of her eyes. He can't see her tears at this moment. Not at all!
"Anna.. just tell me, please! Nothing will happen by closing your eyes just tell me! I will solve it."
"No one can solve it for me! This is my problem… Not even the most powerful person can solve this problem of mine at any cost!"
Alex does not know what to say further anymore. Well, somewhere he felt he knew what her problem might be. He just wanted to confirm that from her own mouth. He wanted her to tell him!
Anna took a deep breath at first. After making sure no one was near her, she faced Alex with her teary eyes
"Alex, I can't come into a relationship because I'm already betrothed to someone else."
Anna finally said the words those hidden in her mind.
Yes! she was already betrothed to someone in her this life by her father at the age of ten!!
Anna was already declared someone else's fiance in this lifetime, she was.. someone else's property!
