I remembered my father's words' it's for the sake of the traditions and we can't go against it and that's final' . My mother had pleaded with him but the old man was hellbent in getting me married. That old man was old enough to be my great grandfather and I was purely disgusted by it. I had been avoiding my father since then and my mother had to bring my meals to my hurt secretly." I'd love that too but my marriage is already set and there's nothing I can do about it" " I don't know why but I feel like it won't happen" "Hah! Are you a fortune teller or something Raine"" Nooo but I'm sure your brothers will do something, I mean you're the only girl in your family" How I wish it would come true" I sighed frustratedly. Raine had been giving me hopes since I told her. She was my support system just like my brothers who have been there for me.
We finished preparing all the meals and we the young girls left when the celebration began as it was the custom. I saw my brother who winked at me as an assurance that everything will be okay.Raine and I went to my hut and took my bow and arrows and left to the forest. Growing up as a girl in a family of three boys had been had for both of my parents to control me. I had escaped severally when I was younger and followed my brothers to hunt. They had taught me so many techniques and today whenever I'm frustrated or angry I would just go and hunt anything that caught my interest. I also loved painting and carving like my twin brother so you can guess how much I am poor in house chores and ironically here I am to be married in a week's time. That old man would definitely send me back to my parents house if I ever married him.
