My Arranged Marriage
AMELIA's POV
I was so happy this morning when I woke up to Sam holding a bouquet of white lilies my favourite flowers ,wishing me
' Happy 4months marriage anniversary '
And then he cooks for me my favourite blue berry pancakes ....
This all was simple yet very special .
The way takes care of me every now and then, the way he remembers all my likes and dislikes.his every action makes me swoon over him.
Today was perfect as we were going out for dinner , and we were suppose to spend our day together , without anyone disturbing us , as it is almost impossible on every sunday when our friends just jump on us from every direction possible.
This day was perfect till he got a call from Angela stating there I
has been an problem and he has to leave for a meeting .
Inspite of all denying I convinced him to go attend that meeting , even when he said ' he doesn't care about any damm project as long as I am with him ' ....I convinced him or should I rather order him with I'll make him sleep on couch for the next whole week .
I don't want to keep him from his work , I know how much he has worked hard for all this , he even married me for his company ...so I kinda know this all is important , and I would be so selfish to keep him all to me when he is clearly needed somewhere else .
Now I was sitting on sofa watching TVD watching Damon Salvatore is something I can never get tired of.
But like the whole world has conspired make me piss today , my phone rang ,I groaned internally and pick it up after noticing the caller ID
" Hey Aiden ! What's wrong? " I ask as soon my phone hity ear, he never calls me on Sunday , he would definitely won't call me knowing I am with sam today having our alone time.
" Sorry if I have intrupted something ! But we have got some issues on sight ! " He muttered from the other end
" No it's fine! I was alone ,works calls in so Sam has to leave for an hour or two ! I can check on the matter.... I still have time for our dinner ."
" Perfect !....but again sorry for -"
" It's fine ! Don't worry !! "
Looks like I gotta leave this sofa today....I get changed into a pair of black jeans and a nice Tee- shirt with my favourite sneakers I carried my look with a handbag, my hairs bouncing freely over my shoulders.
I quickly got into my car and headed to my destination.
***
" Thank you for coming here , and solving this mess !! Without you being here it was impossible for me handle all this! " Aiden said for the empteeth time
" Just shut up with your sorry's and thank you's already ! " I bit out annoyed
" Am sorry ! " He says pouting
" Again! " I laughed
" Okay sorry I won't say sorry and thank you again!! "
" Are you serious saying sorry for not saying sorry and thank you agai and again??? " I laughed
" Okay! I won't repeat now ! " He looks in his own world as we walk towards office cafeteria.
It's been a busy week and half of the staff is working today so thankfully cafe is open .
We got a table, I sit across him and we order for our usual coffee's
" you know ,You can leave now ! You don't need to accompany me here ,I'll wait for Sam ,he would be free in some time and I'll go back with him " I assured him .
" No , I'm fine ! I'm also free now ,so I guess I can enjoy this coffee with you ! You dont need to wait for your husband alone ....and also i am the se reason you have to disturb your holiday to check on that stupid problem and also come back to office to make sure everything is back to tract" he adds
" I swear if you again go all thanks on me again, I am gonna kick your butt off this fine chair and make sure you don't come to office for atleast a week cause you'll be reserved in an hospital "
I joked with all seriousness
He throw his hands in air defensively , and then move this hands over his lips as if zipping them ,I bit make a smile .
Soon my order arrived , I take a sip of my coffee ,while I see Aiden he was moving his finger over the edge of cup.
He has been out like this from last few days. He keeps thinking over something and jumps back to reality.
" What's will you day dreaming and all ??? " I ask him
" Uh -.no..nothing" he stuttered
" Now just spill it all ! " I ordered
" It's fine , there is nothing ! "
" Just stop all your excuses now , the way we met Liam back at mall you have been acting strange , is it because you are working with me now ??....you know , I would never ask you stop meeting your best friend ....I don't have any problem with you meeting him or Britteny , even I had to encounter with them some times you know her being Jenna's cousin and living in same-" he cuts off my ramblings
" No ! No Amy it's nothing like that ....I know you better to expect anything from you like that ! It's just" he trail off
" So tell me what is it ?? ....you know you can tell me , we have always been friends even before I got to know Liam ! You were my friend ! " I assured him
" I know , and that's the reason I blame myself for everything , if it was not me you would have never met Liam and everything would've been absolutely fine in your life ! " he blamed himself for no reason
" It's nothing like that Aiden ! You are not at fault ! " I assured him
" No ! I am the only one to blame Amy ,I couldn't stop him when I should ! I didn't tell you about that stupid task when I got to know about that ! I was so stupid to do that,at first I was scared you  won't believe me  and then when everything happened ,....after everything I couldn't bring myself to face you , to tell you the truth....I knew you were hurt and I didn't wanted to hurt you anymore ! " Where is he going with all this ??
What is there he hasn't told me ??
Why the hell does he think he is at fault ??
" What are you talking about Aiden ? What is there I don't know ??...what is it that I don't know ?? " I demanded
He snapped out of his guilt day dream and look dead in my eyes , he looks scared and then he avoid my eyes with " I am sorry Amy ! It's nothing ...you know I was jus- "
I cut him off with " that tears in your eyes doesn't seem like it's nothing and your all ' I am the only one at fault ' guilt speech was definitely for something really big...so just spill the beans ! "
" I am sorry Amy ! .... I shouldn't spoil your special day ...maybe we can talk about it some other day ! " He suggested
" You think after your so call ' I am the one at fault ' guilt speech I would be able to concentrate on anything else ....you better tell me everything right now or else even don't know what I am gonna do next " Aiden knows better to piss off an already angry Amy .
He sighs " I am sorry Amy , I know I should have told you this a long time back ....or maybe I should have never brought up this at all ....but I can't keep it to myself any longer ....this makes me feel like everything that happened was just because of me ! I could have stopped everything! " I put my hand on his arm
" Aiden ,you know I will never blame you what happened between me and Liam .... It's not your fault that I met him through you...and it's not your fault that your best friend turn out to be the biggest cheater if the world !! You were as clueless as I was !"
" The is the point Amy ! I wasn't clueless...I knew this was going to happen ...I should have told you earlier ! " He yelled
" What ?? You k -knew" I stutter
" Yes! I knew !! " He admitted
" But you didn't tell me ??....I can't believe that !!" I wispher
" I knew ,but not from the beginning , I thought Liam was genuinely interested in you... But...but I was wrong . He never was interested in you....this all was just a task for him to get his childhood crush " he let the words out of his tongue with so much hatred
But I really don't care about that right now . What does that mean ? I was a task ??
" What are you talking about ??! " I asked wanting to know everything
" I should have told you this Amy ! I know I should have , that was two days before you saw them both togather in that-" he trailed off again
But then he continued " everything was just fine until one night when I saw him talking to Brittany ....he was telling her that he will fulfill that task and leave you just as she told him to do "
I was she'll shocked at the moment
Brittany told Liam to do that !!
" Liam always thought of you as a friend , Britteny was her crush, he loved her I don't know why ??...but he did , and then Brittany asked him to make you fall in love with him and then break your heart ....only then she'll say yes to be with him ....he denied at first but then something happened and he said yes to do all this !!....he did everything because he wanted to be with Brittany ...he thought it would just be a fling and you would not be emotional with all this and- "
By now my head was spinning with the new information I got right now ??
I got up from my seat take two step back .
I felt arms around my shoulder " hey Amy ! Are you fine ?? Look at me !...Amy , am sorry ! ...Amy "
I shook of that touch from my body and moved back
" Just stay away ! " I said
I wasn't able to process anything
happening arround me.
" I'm really very sorry Amy ! But please forgive me !! " Aiden's voice came to my ears
" Just leave me alone ! " I yelled
My feet walks on their own taking me somewhere , where i would be at peace, where all this thoughts won't come to me !
I was just a task !
Brittany and Liam played with my feelings all the time.
I was just a puppet to entertain them.
He was the first boy ,I trusted with my everything .
I thought I loved him and he was playing with my feelings all the time , just to finish a stupid task to get his crush.
I feel terrible for believing him, I was that stupid to let him hurt me .
I kept walking to nowhere, little did I knew where i was going .
Just then a door appeared infront of me ' Meeting room ' was written over that door , everything else seems to be blur.
I pushed that door open and I was engulfed in darkness again, but then my eyes land on familiar brown once, and they refused to divert.
I moved towards that brown eyes and before that I hear some shuffling in the background , but that doesn't stop my feet to walk over to that brown comforting eyes.

So what do you all think ?
Was Aiden at any fault for not letting Amy know about his best friend's stupid love task ??
Or
Liam was the one to blame for toying with Amy's emotions ??
Or
Britteny is the one wo should be buried ten feet under the ground for being such a manipulative bitch ??
Let me know about your thoughts in comment section !!
