BELA

Really?

No..I guess it's just a dream!!

"Hi dear,we are glad to meet you",said Mr.Andy Sehgal.

Yes...they are the Sehgals. Mahir's family is here...to see me...but how..how is it possible?

Did I jump into any fairytale or did they jump in my fairy world?

"Hi uncle..nice to meet you too",I said nervously.

"See beta..I guess you are a bit confused..but we are Mahir's parent's.We came with a marriage proposal here.Anything won't be against your wish here",Andy uncle said giving a warm smile.

I smiled back with that confused and nervous look on my face.

"So Mr.Sharma..as we informed you earlier Mahir has gone for shoot,he will be back day after.It's better we set up a meeting for them after he comes back",Andy uncle said.

"Oh..that's absolutely fine Mr.Andy. Mrs.Malhotra informed us.You can talk to Bela now,we will set up another meeting for them both",my dad said putting his hands on my shoulder.

"Bela,can I talk to you"?Sumitra aunty asked.

"Yes aunty you can..you don't need to ask",I said giving her a warm smile.

I went and sat between her and Kuhu.

"See beta..my son Mahir..as you know he is a model and celebrity,there will be a number of roumers about him in the news daily.That's the media's job,spoiling someone's image and life with a single article.But he is not like that.I'm his mother..I know what he is.We won't force you to meet him until and unless you are interested to meet him",she said patting my cheek.

I don't know what to say!!

It's too much to take in at a time..firstly,Mahir..who used to be my crush..is going to be my groom if I say 'yes' and secondly,Sumitra aunty is saying about his character to me.

I don't know what to say now..should I say yes to meet him?

My cheeks are burning with the heat just after listening to his name..how will I feel when I will meet him as my groom?

"Say something beta"?she was waiting for my answer.

I looked at my mom,and she nodded.

"That's fine aunty..I'm OK to meet him..but I'm not used to this media world.They will spot him everywhere..and if they spot him with me..",
"We will take care of the Bela bhabi..we will take care of the media.You and bhai just talk peacefully",Yuvi said winking.

What bhabi? So soon?

"Bela can I ask you one thing"?Sumitra aunty asked.

"Sure aunty..please don't hesitate to ask",I said.

"Beta..I liked you at the first sight.Not only me..our whole family liked you at the first sight.We felt a positive vibe from you..a family vibe with which we all are comfortable.We are strongly feeling that it's going to be a yes from you...but we will wait for your answer.We won't force you.Meet Mahir and let us know your decision",she said caressing my head.

Now I don't know what to say!!

"Mahir was the one who asked us to go for a bride hunt dear,we found you perfect for him from every corner.I'm sure you will make a wise decision,there will be no pressure from any of us.Just meet him and get to know him",Andy uncle said.

"Of course dad..she will be perfect for Mahir bhai and I'm sure he will fall flat after looking at her",Kuhu said.

Now I was trying to hide my blush..where should I hide now?
