Salvation (An Arranged Marriage ll) - Episode 22

Anadia

I try to stifle a laugh at his woe is me expression but I hold it back in, I have to be serious, I have to put my foot down.

"You can't be serious Ani"

"You are going to let me take a picture And that's final" I say, biting my lip.

"But... But.. But I look like a girl!"

"But nothing Kane, but nothing... I thought you said you loved me"

"Blackmailing me now Mrs King? Really?"

"You call it blackmail I call it seeking for consent" I say.

"Fine..

. F*ck.. Whatever, do whatever the fuck you want, you own me anyway" If that wasn't so sweet I would have laughed.

It took me exactly an hour to braid his hair while he was sleeping..

The mane was full, silky soft and long, it was pure torture trying to stop myself from not braiding it.

He looks like a hippie right now so I've got to take pictures, tons of them.

"For what it's worth, I promise not to show this to anyone" I say, my camera at the ready. 

"Screw you Ani" He says and I laugh. 

"You already did Caspian, Multiple times if I'm counting" He grumbles and I laugh, snapping away. 

 "You are going to loosen this thing, you hear me?" He says. 

"Yeah, yeah, could you bend a little? I have to get shots of your ass, smile at the camera" I say and he flips me a middle finger. 

I laugh loudly. 

"Looking good Mr King" I say even as a loud bang sounds from down stairs some where, I shouldn't have been able to hear it from up here. 

Footsteps sound and knocking ensues at my door, it's nine in the morning, they know never ever to disturb me. 

"Who?" I call out. 

"Nady? You have to get down here" Aroos says and her voice sounds thick with tears. 

I'm immediately grabbing my robe, tossing my phone on the bed and exiting the room, Kane is behind me. 

Aroos' eyes flicks to him and then his hair before they come to me. 

"What's happening?" 

"Cash and Anaya are fighting" 

F*ck. 

I run down the stairs and into the sitting room, my eyes immediately goes to the bleeding cut on Cash's face. 

"What's happening?" I voice. 

"Why don't you ask this retard? Why don't you ask him what the hell is going on and why he's been like this...?" Anaya says, pointing at him. 

I notice the bags by the door and my eyes flicks to her.

"What is happening here?" Caspian asks in a calm deadly voice that makes even my back goes straight. 

"I'm leaving" Anaya says and Cash snorts. 

"Like hell you are.." Cash says 

"Who's going to stop me?" She asks? 

"You are being stupid Anaya, why do you have to leave? When there's a perfectly good home for you to stay" 

"I have to get away, if you've been listening rather than being fucking self absorbed you would have heard me that last hundred times when I said I had to get. F*cking

. Away.!" She screams into his face and he stays cool. 

"Why? What are you getting away from? Are hurt,? Is or was there a traumatic event that came up that I didn't know about and that you have to get away from?" 

"Can you be anymore dense? I have to get away from you and your cowardly self! Do I have to spell it out? You make me so f*cking sick Cash"

Cash rears back like he's been hit and even I know how that must feel. 

"I gave you time lots of time for you to come to terms with whatever you wanted to come to terms with, three years should have been enough, it should have been enough for you to open up and tell me whatever it is that's plaguing you.. But no.. The almighty Cash has to brood and come back to the world on his own time but fuck that! No more of that! I won't be treated like an object... I'm very fine with the fact that maybe you don't like me anymore but I won't be put in a closet, I won't wait for you.. I'm tired of doing so "She says, quietly on the last sentence. 

I turn to cash, my eyes asking, pleading with him to fix this. 

" Yeah.. Do what ever you want Anaya, maybe I made a mistake in the first place... You can go to right on and fuck yourself "

He says and my heart breaks. 

"Yeah, that's what I thought.. F*ck you too cash" She says before turning to me. 

"I'm sorry this is on short notice but I've got myself a loft in a nice part of town, I've got a job and I'm going to try to find myself, I will send you guys the address and you all can come whenever..." She says before turning to Kane. 

"Thank you for having me for so long but I trust you to take care of my sisters and yourself" She says waiting for a reply from Kane, she gets one before turning for the door. 

Aroos gives a big sob, Aroofa must be out, Linda looks like she wants to cry. 

"Don't go Anya" She says. 

 "See you later baby" She says, grabbing her bag and exiting the room. 

I don't say a single word as I can't, I suddenly get the feeling that my family will forever be incomplete. 

When one returns another leaves. 

I open my arms for Aroos to enter and she does, I pat her back, wondering if we are eldest sisters will ever stop disappointing her. 

AN.
