The man of my dreams

Chapter 10

I look around my room because I feel something is not right... Something is different about my room, like... I don't know. It doesn't seem beautiful and important anymore. I leave the thought and proceed to open my bedroom door to go to the hall because mumma called me there...

I reach the hall and I scream at the man sitting in front of me... He is the man I met at the mall... He is sitting on the couch comfortably, like he owns this house... I look at mumma in confusion but what she says shocks me to the core. She says that I am getting married to him next week...

I know that he is handsome, hot, sexy, m- wait what? I am just 17. How can they marry me off like my grandfather married off mumma... I look at both of them in confusion but they don't make any eye contact with me. I look at Sharanya who is also looking at anywhere but me...

I look at that man who thought that I can marry him just like that... He smirks after he sees that I am looking at him. I quickly shiver, avert my eyes and turn around to get out of the room but am stopped when a hand settles on my waist. He pulls me towards his by my waist before his face gets closer to me and-

Beep... Beep... Beep...

My alarm goes off... Can't you wait till we kiss you stupid alarm? But why was I focusing on the kiss when I had to focus on bigger thing... I had a dream based on a human being... He was the only human being on whom I had dreams, except... Aarush. It means that he is Aarush. He is the man of my dreams, my future, my destiny...

I sigh and bath quickly... My boards exam will start after two days and I have to study because I didn't read a word, despite being a science student... I sometimes wonder why the hell I am here... I am supposed to be in arts, studying literature...

Doesn't matter anyways... I sit in front of my physics textbook, trying to fit every word in my small brain as much as I could. I don't know how I managed to stoop so low after being the topper of my school...

Just then, my phone beeps. Really? Remind me to turn the data off the next time I sit to study... What should I do? Should I look at the message? My mind says no but my heart is ordering me continuously and mumma says that I should always follow my heart, so the next second, it is in my hand.

I look at the notification and suppress a squeal. Aadhya messaged, after ten freaking days... I open i********: and look at the message...

A: Kshitija, I am engaged...

And boom! There's where my heart blasted... What did just happen? I quickly message her:

K: How can this happen? You are only 19 years old...

A: It was the boy I slapped...

Oh! It's the man in her destiny... I catched on that fact the moment she said that he was handsome... The spoilt brat who can't open her mouth in front of anyone slapped him... Of course he was her soulmate and he came to take his heart with him... There is nothing wrong with that...

I calm her down and she says that she couldn't contact me because she committed suicide... What the actual f**k?! I scold her rather gently because I know that she is going through a lot and she needs all the support she can get...

She apologizes her stupid mistake of running away from her destiny like that when she knew that she couldn't avoid it... I sigh. She is getting married to the love of her life. Why am I excited when she is sad? I know that this is the first step to her happiness. From here, her life will actually start... She will feel every type of happiness and pain through her husband...

I trust him. I don't know how he will behave with her at the beginning but I know that as time will pass, he will love her unconditionally, after all, they are made for each other...
