OUR ADORABLE ROMANCE

CHAPTER-12

God bless both of you!

You two are adorable!

Best wishes to the future bride and groom!

It takes everything I have not to lose the smile on my face right now. My crew always said I had the best smile in the world. Everything was a ruse, including the professional smile.

His family had gathered in his living room, encircling us. They had come to congratulate us. It was an unexpected engagement. I am, indeed, surprised.

If it had come from someone I care about, I would have been happily crying, caressing the finger in my hand and kissing him a thousand times, telling him how much I love him.

I want to strangle this man right now and demand to know why he's acting as if we're in love and would die if he didn't engage me right now.

Khushi, come with me. His grandmother led me to his bedroom to talk. Her aura screamed elegance and power, dressed in a Linen blue silver white saree. I don't even know if my grandparents are still alive, because they didn't take any precautions despite the fact that their 11-year-old granddaughter begged and cried to be saved from an orphanage.

Are you happy and content?

This woman caught me off guard with a single question. Nobody ever asked me if I was happy.

I understand that this may not be what you were looking for. To be engaged like this, But I have no other options. I had to do it for my family. You are now a part of my family.

Family? But what does it have to do with me? I need to talk to him as soon as possible before I go insane.

I'm feeling elated. Tonight, I'll sleep soundly knowing that I have a big fat family. I mentally laughed at myself for how easily these words came out of my mouth. Veer ji barged in as she stroked my head, lovingly. He came up beside me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

Veeraj, you've always made me proud. I know that at the very first glance that you both make a perfect match.

She left us alone in his room after flashing her smile and blessing us once more. I don't care what color his bed cover is, what he's reading, or if he played his guitar after our last meeting. I'm just curious as to why we're engaged. Like seriously, I'm engaged!

I waited for him to open his sweet mouth and explain anything for two minutes. Instead, he stared at me for several minutes. This man standing in front of me is unknown to me, his black eyes devoid of emotion, a bead of sweat rolled down my spine.

Veer ji, I hope you have a good explanation, or else no one can stop me from telling your family that everything is a hoax.

His phone rang, breaking our stare-down, but he ignored it. They were leaving tomorrow afternoon, until that ,pretend you're madly in love with me. His voice, like his face, lacked emotion. A part of me wants to go back to the living room and tell his grandmother that we are more like a one-night stand than anything else. Another part of me wants to wrap my arms around his bicep and act like a real couple. A newly engaged couple.

If someone told me that I would happily sit and chat with a family and laugh with them as if I had known them for decades, I would report that person to a nearby mental institution.

But here I am, sipping his grandmother's handmade coffee and learning about how she fell in love with her husband. They had only twenty days until their wedding. Before they married, her husband proposed on their wedding day.

Are you free this weekend, Khushi? My future mother-in-law enquired.

It depends on my shift, madam.
