Pooja's mom was feeling really proud of her daughter. She came first in her college, again. She knew that Pooja wanted to work as a secretary in a reputed company, but she was scared for her daughter's well being. Many cases are reported everyday of harassment in work places and she never approved of working for the big boss and occasionally sleeping with him to get a raise in the salary. She knew that Pooja is not like this but what if she is forced to live that kind of lifestyle? She made the decision. Pooja is going to marry. She doesn't need to study further. So, she decided to confront her husband and her daughter for this decision. Meanwhile, Pooja is giving an ice-cream party to her friends because of her rank. She was very happy that day. All her friends were there, except Subhash. They all were waiting for him when suddenly:  Everyone was shocked to see Subhash singing Pooja's favourite song. He came towards her and gave her the rose bouquet he was carrying. Pooja was embarrassed. Her friends Anjali, Jenita, Vikas and Jaya started teasing Pooja. She was blushing badly. Just then, "Shiva, are you alright," Subhash suddenly asked steering all the attention to Shiva. Shiva loved Pooja. She was so beautiful... He was attracted to her like a moth is attracted to the flame. "Yeah. I am alright,"Shiva answered, feeling heartbroken to see his best friend propose his obsession. He wanted to possess her. Make her happy. He wanted her all to himself... He wanted to- "Subhash, what are you doing? Ask Pooja for her answer. So Pooja, do you want to become Subhash's girlfriend," Anjali interrupted Shiva's chain of thoughts. "I don't know. Moreover, I don't want to have a relationship before my marriage. I even want to save my first kiss for my husband. You can ask for my hand to my parents," she explained shyly. They were 28 years old. Everyone will be getting a job after this. By the way, Subhash also got first rank among students competing for MD degree. After this, he was bound to become a good doctor with a very good package. He and Pooja had decided to contribute for this party. After all, they knew how their 5 friends will demand the most expensive ice-creams for themselves. This was the perfect occasion for Subhash to propose Pooja. Almost everyone knew it by the way he always treated her. But Pooja, being innocent, thought that he is being friendly just like Shiva and Vikas, her other male best friends. Subhash was impressed hearing her answer. He cared for her and loved her dearly. He wanted to see her first thing in the morning and the last thing in the night. In other words, he had fallen hard for her. The way Pooja was blushing was making him fall harder for her. Meanwhile, someone was really in a bad mood. Shiva also wanted to propose her today. But this i***t came in between... Shiva was cursing Subhash so badly. Shiva and Subhash were close, almost like siblings. In fact, Shiva was the one to introduce Subhash to Pooja and her friends. But still, Shiva couldn't control his hatred for Subhash. That day, Subhash went home and told his parents about her answer. He and his parents had a very friendly relationship. He shares everything with them, even about Pooja. Subhash's parents agreed to go to her house taking his proposal. They also liked Pooja very much. On the other hand, Pooja was feeling very uneasy. Her parents were continuously arguing on something. And she didn't know if she should share about Subhash's proposal with her parents. Pooja's sister Priya noticed her sister's strange behaviour. When Pooja explained Priya the situation, Priya advised her to keep it as a secret till he brings his parents with a marriage proposal. Although Pooja was four years older, but she was very innocent as compared to Priya. So, in matters like these, she always listened to what her mature sister says. So, she slept that night peacefully after she stopped thinking about all those things... ××××× Hello everyone. Well, I didn't know what to name my chapters so I thought of just numbering them.
