Chapter 13: Penthouse

Next day

Roop's Pov

I had to visit my client's place today. It was a hectic day till the evening. Checking his place, calling people for arrangements, waiting for them and then organising everything. His engagement is in two days and he suddenly tells us that he wants it to be done in the garden of his mansion. It was too damn hectic and all our energy of organising everything in a hall he booked went in vain.

But his reason was genuine. His grandmother got a paralysis attack a week ago. She won't be able to attend it, all the way outside the city, in the hall he booked. And she so badly wanted to be a part of her only grandson's engagement. So I took responsibility of doing it all, on my own. Marriage and it's function are not just events. They are moments. Which are going to be cherished by them and their family for their whole life. So, it should be, just the way they want it to be. I don't want them, in future, to look back and be sad because this wasn't how they wanted it to be.

I was going to work till night, but the tranferor said that he'll transfer everything from the hall tomorrow morning. So I was going to take off and head home, but got a call from Aary. He said he wanted to show me something. And I quickly said yes. No matter how tired I was, his voice gave me a whole different level of energy. He said he'll pick me up, so I stood there, waiting for him after talking with my client.

Then I remembered about yesterday. Yesterday, was perfect. I can't help but think about how perfect everything is going on. I am about to marry a perfect gentleman. His family loves and adores me so much. Kaka, Kaki and Srishti are so much fun to be with. I already see myself living happily in that family. My other family. Maa, Papa, bhai and Bahbhi are so happy with this marriage. And so am I.

And, I can't help thinking about him either. I still feel overwhelmed thinking about everything he is doing for me. Learning sign language. Turning his office into a library for me. Trying to know me. Taking care of me. He is thinking about our future just like me. And working on it too. What else could you ask for?

Since childhood, I witnessed the pure love between Maa and Papa. And then, between Bhai and Bhabhi. Because of them, I believe in love. Unconditional, passionate, warm love. Love that truly exists. Not just lust, fetish or obsession. But true love. That made Baba work hard so he could prove to Nanaji that he is worthy of Maa. That made Bhai stay away from Bhabhi for studies, so he could build a future for them. Later on, books and fictional men just added the fuel into the fire of my dream to witness this kind of love.

At some point it became frightening for me, that I started doubting if I'll ever be loved that way. After meeting Aary, I think I am going to experience it all. Think? I am sure I'll experience it all.
A smile tugged on my face just thinking about it.

A sudden snap of fingers got me out of my thoughts. Aary stood in front of me with concerned eyes, "You okay?"

A wide smile appeared on my face as soon as I saw him. I nodded, "Yeah."
