Aman was sitting in the restaurant nervously waiting for Lavanya to show up. This pure arranged marriage set up is giving him a mini heart attack every now and then from last night.
Aman - Arnie Rakshash.....wish I could make you go through all this..... Putting me in this situation, he is happily enjoying the weekend with his wife.
He tapped his fingers on the table not seeing Lavanya who was standing behind him watching him for a long time now.
She smiled and walked ahead and took her seat in front of Aman making him sit on his spine straight.
Lavanya - Hi Aman....
Aman cleared his throat - Hi....
Lavanya - Have you ordered ?
Aman shook his head, Lavanya raised her eyebrows looking at his nervousness.
Lavanya - Shall I order ?
Aman - Of course....
Lavanya took the menu card and ordered lunch for both of them. Aman sat silently and Lavanya let her eyes roam around the restaurant observing the interior, something that she loves to do whenever she goes to a new place.
In a few minutes their food came and both started to eat.
Lavanya - So what's up Aman ? Why did you call me here ?
Aman closed his eyes and took a deep breath - Lavanya, let me come straight to the point..... Why did you say yes ?
Lavanya - Yes for what ?
She asked him even after clearly knowing what Aman was asking about.
Aman - Yes to marry me ?
Lavanya - Because, I like you....
She said in her clear cut words..... Aman looked at her stupified like a fish blinking with wide eyes.
Aman - But.....
Lavanya - I have my reasons Aman. I said ok after thinking a lot. About you, about me and about us....
Aman - Lavanya.....
Lavanya - Aman, in today's world it's very hard to find a guy like you.
Aman got curious - Like me means ?
Lavanya - Like you mean.... a good and loyal man to his friend. Kushi has talked a lot about you..... About your friendship with Jiju.... Moreover I had my own encounters with you before.... It's very hard to find a good guy like you. In between those who take advantage of girls, you maintained your dignity with me for the whole three hours when we were together for a movie. These days where people rarely care about their family, you stood and helped me when my scooty got repaired and you waited until it was ok and most importantly you behaved like a gentleman when I acted like a stupid that day and ignored it as if it was nothing when in reality you were hurt by my behaviour.
Aman was surprised to hear her words for him.
Lavanya - Girls always don't prefer good looks and financial status Aman. Character does matter, and I believe that you have one.
She said gulping her food in between.
Lavanya - That's why I said ok. If you say Ok then I believe that I will be living with a good husband.
Aman - What if I say no ?
Lavanya's hand stopped for a second before she resumed eating - I would definitely be hurt and will be sad for some days..... But you can be assured that I am not going to be a saint in future.
