Second Wife, Second Love.

19. Another Misfortune.

***Ramya's POV.***

"Mum, I can't find my earrings." I say as I look for them everywhere.

"Every one of your jewelry is in that one bag only. Look for them again." She says.

I do as she says and look in my bags again but find it nowhere and say, "Mum, I can not find it."

"What if I find it?" She asks with a smug look.

"Then I will admit I am an idiot." I say with overconfidence.

"Okay." She says with a nod then goes straight towards the bag which has my accessories. I cross my arms and wait for my victory.

"I told you I didn't find it and I wasn't joking." I say.

"Here it is." She says, and I look at her in shock.

"What? Where did you find it?" I ask with wide eyes.

"In the box, which is labeled 'earrings'." She says, giving me the box and showing me the earring.

"I checked it two times." I say and look at the earring in wonder.

"Dear, you always check like this." She says and enacts me by giving a glance and putting away stuff. I shake my head as she continues, "Then you put it away. Check properly, dear. The thing you want is always right in front of you, but you always make a judgment from one or two looks and conclude that it is not there. Dig deeper, dear."

"Nice quote." I say and she raises her eyebrows, "And yes, I am an idiot."

"That's like my girl. You have one good quality that you are not a sore loser." She says, "By the way, I am going down to see the arrangements with Arya. Do you need anything else?"

"No. I am fine." I say, "I will just put my outfit for today in the cupboard so when the time to get ready comes, I will be quick."

"A bride can take her time." She says.

"Yes, she can. But I want to enjoy it. So I won't be wasting much time getting ready." I say and put my lehenga and accessories in the cupboard.

"As you say, Rami." She says and leaves.

As I was getting bored and as per doctor's order, I had to take it a little easier. I thought about arranging my every outfit, so Mum and I don't have to be worried about stuff like this. So I take out my different outfits and accessories that match with them and put them in the cupboard too.

"Done. What now?" I ask myself as I put away all the bags except for two small ones which have my regular clothes.

The engagement isn't until the evening, and it is only ten in the morning. Mum and others are busy with the arrangement, while others are busy with sightseeing. I want to do that too, but Mum warned me against it, as she doesn't want me to get into any trouble until the wedding day. Even my friends won't be able to make it till late afternoon.

"Looks like I have to disturb someone. I hope he has forgotten everything about the kiss. Why did I even do that?" I ask myself again.

At that moment, I was weak and impressed with him. I thought that I would get scolded by him, but he cared for me and looked after me instead, even when I was difficult. He risked his life to save mine. And what did I do?

I have been creating problems for him ever since I met him. When I kissed him yesterday, it was more than just a gratitude. It was my way of telling him that he has made a special place for himself inside my heart even though it was very expensive. I don't know what I should name this feeling, but I am just going to deal with it later on when it gets too much to ignore it.
