Fair warning
Madhu is going to piss off some readers.
Rishabh is going to piss off some readers.
Both of them are going to piss off rest of the readers.
I believe everybody is excited... let's start.

"Flowers!" Padmini says as she walked to her family happily holding the beautiful bouquet.
Madhu and Dipali expectantly looks at her.
"Who is it for?" Malik asks with a teasing smile at his daughters.
"Dipali. From Sultan." Padmini says as she extended the bouquet to her.
Blushing happily, Dipali takes the bouquet.
Madhu quickly puts a smile on her face as she tried to hide her disappointment.
As if on cue, Dipali's phone starts ringing. Blushing more, she quickly picks her phone and bouquet and hurries out of the room, while her family chuckled seeing that.
Padmini smiles as she watched her daughter and sits next to Madhu. Madhu smiles at her and Padmini smiles at her as she lovingly caressed her head. Madhu smiles and slyly looks at her phone to see if she got any messages or calls. There were none.
Madhu holds in her sigh of disappointment.
Dipali had completed her Software Engineering course and had got placed through campus recruitment. At present, she was going through her training before she started her official work. Their parents had started looking for a groom for her when they got the proposal for her from the Kundra family, for their elder son Sultan.
After the initial enquiry, their family had decided to proceed and meet each other when they had suddenly proposed their younger son, Rishabh for Madhu. Even though she was in her final year under graduation, they had decided to proceed because Dipali and Madhu were very close and the prospect of being married into the same family was something they couldn't refuse.
Soon, the families had met. She had met Rishabh. They spoke for maximum a minute. Rishabh had asked her whether she was okay with getting married before she completed her studies and she had replied yes. And that was it.
Immediately after their marriage had been fixed, Sultan and Dipali had started speaking on the phone and going on dates while she neither met or spoke to Rishabh after that.
**********
As days passed by, Madhu was getting worried and scared. She couldn't understand why Rishabh didn't show any interest in her. As time went, she started getting insecure and couldn't help wonder whether he was being forced to marry her.
