Falling For You

Chapter-6

Naina's Pov

oh god, I am soo nervous. It's nearly time and they can come anytime, what will I say, how will they be, will they be nice, and most importantly will he be nice...but what if I say something wrong. Shut up! just stop Naina otherwise you will go mad like this, just remember bhai's words and go with the flow.

.......time skip......

Sonali: Naina, beta come they have arrived.

Naina: Yeah Mumma, just coming

with one final look in my mom's eyes, I went down where everybody was seated, I could hear faint waves of laughter of my dad and some other person getting louder.

I came down and I was seated with bhai in front of some person, I could sense that he was the one with the seating arrangements(huh.. I have also seen romantic movies). Sitting with Bhai gave me confidence and his eyes were also assuring me. I politely greeted everybody there and they complimented me too, they seemed nice with their soft gestures and smiles and asked me to get relaxed as if they could sense my nervousness.

Aunty asked me a little about my profession and slowly Mumma introduced me to all of them, Kartik seemed really funny and cute, he made all of them laugh with his talks.

Slowly, I stole a glimpse of Abhimanyu, and ohh..I would lie if I say he was not handsome, he was so handsome. He had worn shirt pants with a short blazer with sleeves rolled up. He had sharp features and a strong aura around him, but his eyes were cold and I could see it without making eye contact as he was talking to papa.

Papa told us to talk in private and this was the moment I was scared of the most, I clutched bhai's hand tightly but he assured me with his eyes and then I went with him. His polite gesture made me smile a little. He seems nice right???

Third person's pov

 Currently, both of them were sitting on the balcony in front o each other, and then finally Naina looked and him and initiated a conversation

Naina(softly): hi, I am Naina

Abhi: hello, Abhimanyu

Naina: nice to meet you. Umm...how to start.....

Abhi: you can ask me whatever you want, freely

Naina: umm..why do you want to marry? don't get me wrong but you seem good-looking and can marry anyone, then why arrange marriage?

Abhi(in his mind): because I want to free myself from my parents constant nagging of settling down

Abhi: good-looking huh? 

He said and smirked slightly and felt proud suddenly, true he felt like he was handsome but hearing it from her, something boosted inside of him but ignored it. Naina was embarrassed but her words and her cheeks turned pink and she looked down shyly. All this time Abhi was noticing her actions and was amused by her personality.

Abhi: to be precise, my parents asked me for marriage, and yes at some point in time I don't want to be alone and wish for a person to be there, so I considered their marriage proposal. And for arrange marriage, I feel they know better than me.

She was amused by his words, he was so to the point and so straightforward. She wanted to know more about him.

Naina: I know I should not ask but about your di...div...divorce ?

He stiffened slightly at her question, he didn't expect it this early but he didn't want to linger it so he said what he felt was right,

Abhi: we both had a difference of opinion and because of it we couldn't continue it further and so it felt right to end it rather than unnecessarily drag it. It was a marriage of short interval of time, it lasted only 2 months.
