Girl runaway from home to escape from marriage only to be betrothed to a stranger.
They fall in love but their ego and families come in their way. Can they overcome the hurdles and become one?
I don't have grandparents, always wished. Grandma is very sweet, I love her. We sat in living room, talking while she had coffee.
Ben came panting
"Sita, you are here? I was scared" he said in relief
"I woke up early, you were sleeping, didn't want to disturb" I said
He sat with us, after sometime his parents and Joseph and Nithya joined.
"How did you both meet?" Uncle asked
"Sita graduated from MIT. We met in campus"
"Where are you from?" Uncle asked me
I told about me. I don't know how many times I have to give my introduction, I hope he doesn't have huge family.
"We have been asking you about marriage, why didn't you tell about Sita?" Aunty asked
"Sita is just 22 mom, graduated this year. I was waiting for her to graduate so that we can tell in our families. We didn't expect that her parents will fix her marriage. They are against our marriage, her dad is very religious" Ben said convincingly. No one can doubt
"We will convince her parents" granny said
"Dad is angry right now because I ran away. In few days he will forgive me" I said
"Don't worry Sita, everything will be fine" aunty said
I excused myself and went to my room. All my shopping bags are there

I wore simple peach Indian dress and went to living room. There is some new girl in mid 20s sitting with Nithya and Joseph. She is yelling on maid
"Do you know the cost of this dress, can't you do Simple work?"
Looks like maid spilled water on her dress, she is yelling for that simple thing. Straight away she got into my bad books.
"Don't you have shame to yell on elder lady? Anyone can make mistake" I shouted
She looked at me with anger
"Who the hell are you? New maid..." she mocked
"I don't need to answer an outsider" i said
"I'm outsider, do you know who I'm" she smirked
"In this family, everyone values people, they don't look down based on status. So I'm 100% sure you don't belong to this family. If you say otherwise, I would get your DNA test done because it would be some nurse mistake at birth, she might have exchanged you" i said
Joseph and Nithya are suppressing smiles, even the maid
"How dare you?" She shouted and raised hand to slap me. I held it and twisted behind her back
"This is the first time so I'm leaving, if you ever anger me, I won't hesitate to break your bones" I warned her and left
"Nithya, she is hurting me and you are standing silently watching the show" she accused
"Nithya knows you are wrong, she belongs to this family, never take wrong side" i said
"Oh really! I'm her sister so I belong to this family" she smirked
"I'm sorry... Nithya chechi..."
Her smirk grew wider
"Let's go to hospital and get your both DNA checked, she can't be your sister" i said
"You are an outsider with no manners at all" she said
"She is Ben's fiancé, Sita" Joseph said
She looked at me from top to bottom and laughed
"This has to be the joke of the millennium. Look at her and her dressing...Ben likes someone modern, not aunty types" she mocked me
"I didn't know wearing dresses that hardly cover womanhood is called modern in India. If so I can proudly say I'm not modern.
Do you know what we call people with the kind of dress you wear? Sluts" I said. No one can get away with insulting me
If looks can kill, I would have been dead long back. Anyway I'm not done with her yet
"According to you, the more you show your skin the more modern they are, why don't you go naked then. You will be the most modern girl" I mocked
"Ben, look how this cultureless girl is talking to me?" She complained
When did he come?
"I saw everything Nisha, you started it. By the way she is not an outsider, my love, my fiance" he said side hugging me
"Are you serious? I thought Joseph was joking? How could you choose someone like her?" She said
She loves(?) Ben, probably lusts. That's why she is angry with me
"Mind your words Nisha, I'm keeping quiet because you are Nithya's sister but one more word against my Sita, you will face the consequences. Keep that in mind" he warned her
