Meri Jaan

Chapter 5

'THE DATE'

AKSHAT'S POV

Ok! So this black shirt is alright i guess. I have heard girls like man in black.

But she already likes you!

My subconscious gushed and a smile formed on my face.

Yeah, she does. Maybe she should do it more. And more i guess.

Wait, why? Why am i thinking all this? She already likes me, it is me who needed time. What is wrong with me?

Am i crazy?

No, you just like her. Yeah, my subconscious again.

Like her? Do i?

There is no doubt she is soft on the eyes. And heart too. She is pretty, beautiful, polite, and kind. A better person and i think. No. I know there would not be a better choice than her. I don't know about future but till now, she has been nothing but a beautiful surprise for me.

And that's the reason I'm agreeing for this marriage.

What if mujhe koi aur hi mili hoti? Fame name daulat shauhrat types. That's what i was expecting when i got to know ke ladki papa ne choose ki hai.

She makes me feel good and not to forget she likes me, maybe that's why, I am naturally thinking about feeling it more and trying so much.

These are enough of reasons to dress up to impress her i guess. Yeah, right!

Yeah, you like her.

Maybe. Leave it.

I looked at the clock and it was 4:30. Time passed so quickly. I am already so tired after today's events since morning but i didn't have the heart to cancel the date.

And i didn't want to.

But before that meeting only, i got so much on my plate that i just felt worn out.

I was wondering the same, ki din accha ja kaise rha h, *sighs*

Flashback
At the breakfast table

"Good morning!"
"Good morning."
Greetings echoed as everyone wished each other in the morning.

"How are the engagement preparations going on? Bhai samay hi kitna bacha hai!" Dad asked mom.

Is every conversation gonna revolve around my wedding from now?

"Ji i was thinking the same, Akshat should go for the shopping, maine best designs ke liye baat bhi karli h. Kyun Akshat?" Maa answered.

"Ji."

"Hmm, she's right! Get involved in your wedding prepare Akshat, put in some efforts. Don't be a statue like always. You have to invest yourself in the relationship. Have you thought about it?" Dad. Again.

I froze and glared at him, why is he saying all this to me, aren't these the people responsible for my behaviour, what do they even expect and on top of that, he has the audacity, to say it on my face like I'm the one at fault.
