.... ' QUITE' my dads voice loudly booms in the room and that was all it took to get the room to be deathly silent , I do not mean to exaggerate but you could literally hear a pin drop,if you did drop one.
"Sorry dad but.. but... but you know I am right " I say stuttering " there is just two of us left in the family unmarried and that is big sister and I , I am way too young to tie myself down with marriage and I do not want to do that so I am sure that leaves just big sister to....
' Oh Quite right there you , no one here asked for your opinion besides who is to say I have no interest in marrying into the knocks family?? ' my sister Serfia hardly and swiftly shuts me down . " but I was just trying to let dad see reason..... Serfia and I continue our back and forth till my father cuts us off again
' like I said earlier, the patriarch of the Knocks family and myself are still in talks about this, I wanted to let you know ahead of time so you would not be unprepared ahead of time if it is to happen, besides the candidate for marriage is the second son who is his fathers right hand man I am sure you have heard of him and how ruthless he is and how hard he can be . Anyone lucky enough to get that man is set. I want what is good for this family and what is good for us is this partnership so i will do my best to see this through so do as I say when I say do you understand me' ?? YES!! Everyone responds
'Good ,that will be all until I say otherwise, if I need to talk to either one of you , you will be informed. That will be all for this morning' .
After my dad ends his speech he stands and leaves the room followed by my mom ,the rest of my siblings follow and I am the last to leave the dinning room . I look around shake my head and then head back to my room.
