Aditi's POV
While returning from Baroda, I found my parents, sister and brother seated on the couch of the drawing-room. I'm surprised to see them all together at my Granpa's House. Unfortunately, I'm living with my grandparents (Nana-Nani), my mother's parents in a small village. And my parents never like to visit me, then why are they here today?? "Huhhh, Something going to be wrong today," My mind says and starts to think about what's going on here.
When they see me at the doorsteps, my mom wakes up from her seat and suddenly hugs me. I'm shocked, no no it's a big shock. How's it possible?? My Mom, who hates me the most, how can she hug me like that?? now it's sure that something is going wrong and I will be the victim. I was afraid of my own family. she breaks the hug and says "Get ready dear, today Someone is coming here to meet you." and she smiled. While my younger sister Anita smirks at me. I am shivering in fear of meeting someone. They are planning about my marriage. There is no doubt about it.
I smile at everyone and go to my room, my grandma's room. I freshen up and get ready. As I don't need much time to get ready. I wear a baby Pink Patiyala pattern dress and simple ponytail, pendant necklace and wristwatch on left arms and bracelets on my right wrist, wear simple golden earrings. I apply some Compaq on my face and lip gloss on my lips. that's complete me. I just step up towards the drawing-room and Anita steps towards me. I was afraid again and a shiver passed through my body.
" Have you any sense, how to get ready to meet a guy ?? How ugly you are..!!!" She says while coming towards me. "Don't you dare to say "No" to him...! He is ready to marry you. You have to say yes, Dii." She says with disgust. She left the room and a car stopped in front of our home. And I again think about my family. why my family hates me too much. Nobody likes me except my grandparents. Even my uncle Vijay (my mom's brother) and aunt Sunayna (my mom's sister in law) treat me too much worse. sometimes I hate myself, why am I so much weak??? I heard greetings and laughing from the drawing-room. All guests and my family members are talking with each other.
my aunt called me, I went to the drawing-room. She said to sit in a chair beside her. The guests are happy to meet me. Suddenly I saw a man in Blue jeans and a white shirt. perfectly combed hairs. When I saw his face, I was thrilled. How could they do this type of hack with me? The man in the blue shirt is completely opposite from my dream husband. My eyes filled with tears. My aunt looked at me and took me to my room. she left me alone there. I kneeled down and tears began to fall from my eyes. I stood up and see myself in the mirror. Which type of destiny is given by God to me?? I heard everyone saying congratulations to each other. I understand that marriage has been finalized by both families. Are they making a deal of my life?
I stopped crying and decided to say No to marrying him. My mom, sister and aunt come towards me. "This boy is a lecturer at engineering college, well settled and they have enough property, and good for you." my Mom says to me. my sister Anita says, "you have to say "Yes", Because of you my wedding has been delayed 8 months. Now no more delay, please." She smirks at me. Her tone was more sarcastic and irritated.
"Why are you both telling me this all things, As you have already decided my wedding with him??" I asked them.
Anita says, " your future husband wants to talk with you. That's why and say 'Yes' to him."
I decide to say 'No'. I make strong myself to fight with my own family. As I don't like that man with a single look. I left the room with Anita. suddenly I caught sight of Radhakrishna Painting hanging on the wall and I stuck. It was given by Nicky, my best friend on my last birthday. And again thinking about this marriage proposal.
My Nanaji died 3 years ago. I have an only bond with my Nanima(Grandma ) whom I love the most. While I'm going to meet that man, she is looking at me with teary eyes. I understand her situation, she also doesn't like this marriage but she is unable to stop this all. Her only dream is to see my wedding.
Anita left me alone on the terrace, where that guy was already standing and waiting for me there. He smiles at me and I give a small smile too.
After a few minutes of silence, He says, "Hii".
I just "Hmm".
"You are so much.... pretty and attractive." He says with a smile. "Do you want to marry me?? I think you will feel awkward whenever you will introduce me to someone as your fiance or husband." He said heavily.
I made up my mind and nodded in response. He again asks, "Are you sure?" and I say, "Yes,".
He looks at me and asks, "You can ask anything if you want to know something about me." I nod my head again but in No. He smiled at me. I see him while he gave a smile to me.
he is not so pretty or chocolaty type guy, but something is different in his eyes. He is black but his eyes are brown, which are filled with love and happiness. I noticed that he has an attractive personality and impressive voice. I thought, nothing wrong to marry him and a smile appeared on my lips, which I couldn't stop.
He says, "Thanks" and asks, " If you don't mind..... a..." He hesitates... Can I have your mobile number, please...??? I smiled and give him my number. We walk together towards steps and down the steps. I walk to my room and He goes to the drawing hall.
Both families have decided on a wedding date and final it. It is 1st Feb after 25 days. Everyone looks happy. Everyone left the house and me with a lot of worries, confusion and tension. what will I say to Jayesh, who is in Bangkok now and for the next 5 days...??? What will I say to Nicky and Priya, my best friends....??? God knows what will happen the day after tomorrow...???
