"You think I am a fool?" he whispered in my ear, coming closer.

He was pissing me off.

"Why the hell do you want to marry me?" I gritted my teeth.

He touched my cheeks, and something flashed in his eyes.

"No," I said, stepping back, keeping space between us.

He was about to speak, but I cut him off.

"I will not marry you."

Stranger's Deal

I was in the garden when I got a call from my sister. She told me they were expecting us tomorrow for Dar. Hell, I didn't even know Teej was already here which was the day after tomorrow. I have no new Sari. They would expect me to wear a Sari. I don't want to, and I only have the two saris I wore on our wedding day. My parents will find a way to taunt me again. 


(Teej is a festival where Nepali women celebrate by keeping fast for the long age of their husbands, or young girls keep fast to get a nice husband. Some even fast without drinking water.) 


I went inside, and Rima was there with the devil, talking. My blood started to boil just looking at him. Every time I saw him, I wanted to start a fight. He gets on my nerves just for existing. I was about to go to my room when Rima called me.
