Imperfectly Perfect

Chapter 8

Atharva pov

We both came down to the hall. I think her sister had some problem with Aaru. Yeah I have her a pet name. I am gonna make sure she becomes my wife. I will try my level best to make her my wife.

Now coming to the present problem is that her whole family have some problem with her. But I have not idea what's going on.

Except for her address and her family i haven't done any background check on her. I want to know everything from her. It may be good things or bad things. I just want to know from her.

When we came down my father and her father were both speaking as though they are lost buddies. No offense but her father is a big snake. I can feel in his attitude.

He don't have any care or affection towards Aaru. I don't know what have happened but something is wrong here.

When we came down everyone's attention was on us. I think she didn't like being the centre of attention so I stood in front of her so she is behind me.

She is tall but when we stand together she comes to my shoulder. I took her hand and squeezed her gently. She looked at me as though I have her the whole world. For this simple gesture if she is so happy I think she have a bad past.

But I will wait for her. When she get comfortable around me I will ask her about this or she may only say to me.

"She agreed. But we decided to extend our marriage date. After few months we will fix a date." I announced no one dared to go against me. Especially her father.

Then she came near me and held my hand. She was pouting. I think. And she spoke so sweetly everyone in the room will get diabetes.

"May everyone get a husband like you. On the other hand maybe not. No one is there like you in this whole world." And she looked towards her sister.

Her sister's face was a sight to watch. She had made a face as though someone stole her whole makeup kit.

My girl is such a child. But I liked that she trusts me enough to show this side. Because every girl won't show this side to everyone. It's only reserved for some people.

I smirked and decided to play along with her. I pulled her by her waist. Her eyes widened. Doesn't my girl don't know about Newton's third law.

She was already blushing so much her cheeks were looking like Tomatoes.
I decided not to tease her further. Or else my girl will combust into fire and melt the whole Himalayas.

" But if you'll give us an approximate month we can start our preparation. More work will be there and we can't do everything in last minute." Her stepfather interjected. I got angry and glared at him.

" On the other hand it's not a problem. You'll can take your own time. Whenever you both want you'll can marry." He stuttered.

I saw my girl and see was covering her laugh by coughing. But she was doing a very bad job in that and everyone in the room knew she was laughing. My father and my brother both came towards her. Her sister went somewhere and her parents were discussing something intensely.

" I hope you join our family. But no pressure. Everything is in your said." My father said and went outside with her parents.

“You know if you had seen me first, you would have totally chosen me. I am better than this asshole.” I was trying hard not to punch him in his face but both of them bursted out laughing. Both  were laughing like gorillas high on cocaine.

She wiped her fake tears. "When I first saw you I know I would have chosen you but alas I have to marry your brother. Maybe in next life." She said in a sad tone.

And the whole time I was standing there like a fool. I thought my brother is dramatic but there will be a competition from now on.

"You both will shut up if you'll know what's best for you both." I said but they started laughing harder than the first time.

Am I joke to them ?

You are.

Don't start.

" Okay guys stop that's enough. I will be going now. Take care." I dragged my brother and went. That guy met her for few minutes and they became best friends. Hmmph. I had to give her big speeches to make her comfortable around me. Poor me.

We three went home. My mother and sister were both excited to know about her. It's not that we didn't want to take them with us. But we had heard some bad things about Aaru's father. So we didn't want to risk my mother's and sister's life.

Both are capable of handling themselves. My mother was a spy and was working in the mafia. When she was on a mission she met my father and both fell in love. From then on she stopped doing the work. But that doesn't mean she have forgotten everything.

Even my sister have learnt self defence and is a boxing champion. But men will be men. And they are protective over their women.

When Aaru becomes comfortable around me I will make sure she meets with my mother and sister. Now itself if she meet, she may become overwhelmed with everything. So, I am trying to take things as slow as possible.

Then I called my one and only friend Gowtham and spoke with him for a while. After talking I had dinner with my family.

I went to my room and was debating whether to call or message her. Then I decided to message her.

Atharva: Hey. What are you doing?

Aaru❤️🌍: Hii. I had some work to do. So I was doing that. What about you?

Atharva: Even I had some work, I was completing it.

We chatted for few minutes then we both decided to sleep. I was very happy with the way things were going. Hopefully she will fall for me like I am falling for her.

I drifted off to sleep with the thought of the next morning with new beginnings.

Happy Deepawali to everyone✨✨✨
