You are forever mine

Torak Donovan stared blankly at the window, his troubled mind wouldn't stop thinking, he felt so uneasy like never before.

How will the night end?, he asked himself for the hundredth time. In just that few minutes, he got the news. The old man must have set up this family get together because of her.

How could he even imagine Anastasia would turn him down at the last minute?

What meeting is more important than going to see his father ?

Even though the windows are open, he still feels suffocated. He roughly un_do his tie. frustrated, he threw it on the floor.

The old man will never stop pestering him until he gives him solid proof that he's in a relationship now. That was why he mentioned Sia to him.

Out of my numerous girlfriends, Sia has proven to be different. That is why our relationship has successfully exceeded the normal six months and is now going to two years.

Apart from being good in bed, Sia is a social person and very understanding, unlike my other girlfriends who are after my money and want me all to themselves. Sia knows her limits, she knows that she is never committed to a lady and she never mixed business with pressure. That was why I chose to bring her along to the family gathering. If it were some other woman she would have started making noise, even involving the press, but with Sia ,I know I am safe, since we both know what our relationship is all about.

Now I will have attended the gathering alone, thanks to Sia calling late to inform me that an important meeting had come up.

" Why isn't this car moving?" I shouted at my driver.

" Sir, I can't go more than this. I've already exceeded the driving limit. If I go more than that, we might... "

" Shut it ". His explanation is not helping. The road is free. Why would a young man be this law-abiding? I asked him to shut up so that I could return to my mental struggle.

I tried closing my eyes to help stay calm but it of no use. I feel like I am traveling on a snail instead of a car.

" Caleb , add a little speed, so we get there fast. I feel like I am on a turtle " I ordered, gritting my teeth in frustration.

Not long after he increased the speed, I heard Caleb screaming and the car stopped.

" What happened?" I asked in panic.

"Sorry sir, I think I ran over some..." Caleb didn't finish whatever he was saying before he hurriedly stepped out.

" Please this shouldn't be what I am thinking"I silently prayed.

An accident is the last thing I want to get involved in that night.

Can today get any worse?
