YOU COMPLETE ME

THE PHONE TALKS - I

Jhanvi's POV :-

I can't believe this. Aryan is the man I am going to marry. Oh, my God! After they left I quickly ran to my room and locked the door.
I kept a hand over my racing heart to calm it down. My cheeks were flaming and there was a huge smile on my face , so big that my cheeks hurt. I walked in the room and kept the envelope of shagun on my study desk where there is a small idol of Lord Ganpati.
I sat on the loveseat with folded legs trying to absorb the events that just happened.
And Oh, my God Aryan Malhotra loves me, like the me , me .

Calm down.

Nope, I can't.

Then I held out my left hand which was held by him just moments ago. Our fingers entwined . I too loved the feeling of holding his hand , the warmth it gave to my whole arm.

Jhanvi , we are missing an important part over here.

What is it?

Don't you know ?

No.

My dear Jhanvi, Aryan loves you but do you also love him?

This got me thinking. I don't love him.

Then how did you say yes to him?

I , well firstly I wasn't ready at all. But then his love confession and that sincere look in his eyes told me that he is the right person. Well I don't know anything about love but his honesty swept me off my feet. He thinks I am equal to him. Not in the financial status , in that we both come from a rich background and the fact that he did not run away when I was crying . He did not belittle me when I was crying and admitting my flaws. He consoled me and made my vision clear . I could go on and on praising him.
Do you atleast like him ?

Of course I like him.

Gotcha!!!

Well what's the harm in liking him. Liking him is a valid reason for marrying him according to me.

Do you have a crush on Aryan?

A teeny tiny bit.

But this is not the right time to talk about crush and all.

Right now I need to add fuel to my system. Which means food.
I changed into black shorts with pineapple prints on it with a bright pink t-shirt and went to the dining hall. It is already two in the afternoon and I am hungry as a bull.
Mom and dad were seated and I went towards the table and sat as quietly as possible. But I can't be invisible right. Now they are going to ask me all sorts of questions .

I served myself and completely filled the plate and started eating.

"Jhanvi , can we talk?" It is Dad asking me.

"Of course Dad , about what?"

"I think you know." Mom replied.

"Tell me how did he manage to convince you for marriage?" Mom asked bouncing on her seat, clearly pleased by my decision.

"Well, we talked and sort of came to a decision that it will be a good thing to marry each other as we know each other."

I lied to her. For the first time. I wasn't going to tell my parents that he loves me and I cried out my insecurities in front of him. She gave me a look that said I - don't- believe- you.

"Whatever it is, if you are happy then we are happy , always remember that." Dad said patting my back.

After finishing up my lunch I went to my room to take a short nap and then I will video call both Khushi and Priya to give them this news.
