The Unexpected Alliance

First Meeting

Preeti's POV
----------------------
As I was getting ready to meet my to-be-fiancé,I realised how pretty I actually was in a saree
Although I loved ethnic wear and jewellery especially jhumkas..I have never worn a saree before
I am actually very sure about my amazing looks [lol] but I was just not able to be THAT confident to wear a saree cuz I always thought I was too fat to wear a saree gracefully.But here I was proving myself wrong!

One of my relatives found this proposal for me [typical desi relative behaviour].She had sent many proposals before but I rejected all of them [💅🏻] not because they weren't handsome,they were ummm...kinda okayish but all of them were just after my family's and my name.I mean everybody knew Banerjee Enterprises and I was the CEO so they thought they could take over the company sometime soon.But did they know that I knew all their intentions.. probably not. So moving forward talking about Mr.Ankit.First of all I kind of had a crush on him after seeing his pics and I knew his intentions were clear + my parents wanted it to happen as they four were college friends. So it was a win win situation for me!!

Mom: Preeti are you ready?? They're here!!! Come when I call you ok? And your bff is here, she'll come downstairs with you
Diya beta aajao!! Main jaa rhi hu

Diya: OMG! bitch- I never thought you'd look this pretty

Preeti: Literally Same!! wait- was that a compliment or sarcasm??

Diya: Sarcasm duh 🙄

Preeti: I would kill you if I wasn't meeting your hone wale jiju

Diya: Jiju already?? Ohoooo

Preeti: I said hone wale too,I guess you became deaf out of nowhere

Mom: Preeti and Diya come downstairs beta!

OMG this is the moment..I'm meeting him.What if he doesn't like me? What if he is not okay with me being the CEO?Okay Preeti think positive! Don't be nervous and do something stupid..

Diya interrupted her thoughts

Diya: Bitch do you want a flying slipper today as well?? Let's go! And yes don't worry about him not liking you,you look gorg 😉

Preeti: How did you-

Diya: Ofc I know,after all I'm your bff right? Now let's goo,I'm so excited

Preeti: Hmm

As she went downstairs she felt nervous and also thankful to ave a bff like Diya

Ankit's POV
------------------
We just reached her house.Although I look drop dead handsome in formals, traditionals like kurtas were not that bad afterall its Ankit Ganguly

Her house looks ethereal like unreal.Its old yet classic.It just gives that perfect vintage luxury vibe.Afterall her company, Banerjee Enterprises was an age old gem.My family had known hers since our grandfather's time.
When I was busy admiring her home,her mom called her.

I felt my heartbeats increasing.. what is happening to me?? I've never felt this way before. I've been feeling this way since I saw her picture.

OMG! She's here...she looks so beauti-

But then my mom interrupted my thoughts

Ankit's Mom: OMG! You look so pretty beta!
Come here sit with Ankit

I'm going to die out of nervousness now..

Preeti's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------
His mom called me to sit with him.
AHHHHHHHHHHH I'm dieing out of nervousness. I looked at Diya and my mom,my mom nodded while Diya gave me an encouraging look

So I sat next to him..

GODDDD HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME...
wait- what are you thinking Preeti??
Calm down gurll calm down

I looked at him to say a little hi and to my surprise he was already staring at me. I saw him looking at my lips and got nervous.

"Hi!"

"Umm,Hello!"

Then we looked at our parents having a conversation together. We both smiled and somehow I figured out that he was a family man..

Mom: I think us parents accept this proposal. Right?

Ankit's Mom: Yes absolutely.

Mom: So I think the children should talk to eachother in privacy

Oh shit-The awkward part is here

Ankit's Parents and My Dad: Yeah sure

Mom: Beta take him to the garden

Me: Okay maa

In The Garden

Both sat on the bench and we're waiting for someone to start the conversation.Ankit finally started the conversation

Ankit: So are you ok with this marriage?

Preeti: Y-Yes

Ankit: Well same here,and yes don't feel nervous ok you can ask me anything you know

Preeti: S-so do you have any g-girlfriend?

Ankit:No,but I gave my heart to somebody a few days ago

Preeti's POV
______________________________________

"No,but I gave my heart to somebody a few days ago"

I felt like someone took a knife and shoved it into my heart.I felt as if me loving him was worthless now.

Still I gathered the courage to ask

"Who is it?It's ok if you don't want this marriage"

Waiting for his reply..I felt my heart racing..
