Her mobile rang... Disturbing her sleep
She opened her eyes by scrunching her face looked towards the source of the sound trying to reach it she felt weight on her.. she looked down saw her husband sleeping on her chest his arms wrapped around her w...
ufff.....! i felt its a long day just then my mobile pinged with a message from my mom about the time and location
i didnt understand anything ..,after a moment my brain ringed that today i should meet my potential groom none other than my brother-in-law
i checked my outfit... i was in white suit i felt this will be okay for the meet so i just washed my face and did some touch-up for my face paired with white heels ...

started journey to the location which radha pinged me.....
i was late by 10 minutes all thanks to the traffic .. ,
i entered the restuarant it was very pleasent and very ambienti glanced all the tables and my eyes got strucked at one table seeing the person my heart skipped a beatwith a bit of doubt carrying in my facial expression i reached the table and asked him
"RUDRANSH...?!"
he just nodded ..., just a nod nothing else i felt weird reaching out my hand for shake with him i said
"RUDRANSH, IT'S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU,"
"I CAN'T SAY THE SAME," he replied with tinge of bitterness on his face his answer made me go numb though this made evrything akward between us i still smiled at him
breaking the silence,"THIS IS ABSURD! HOW CAN OUR PARENTS EXPECT US TO GET MARRIED WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER..? I KNOW WE WERE ENGAGED AS KIDS AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A SAY IN IT,BUT NOW WE ARE ADULTS AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS,"he said, clearly frustrated.
i just sat there listening to his thoughts,by his frustration i understood that he is upset with this alliance...
i was always been a hopeless romantic ,dreamed to find a soulmate but now it seemed like all my dreams gonna be shattered .....
hoping a yes from him i started trying convincing him
"I KNOW IT'S UNCONVENTIONAL AND THIS ISN'T AN IDEAL SITUATION FOR EITHER OF US, BUT LET'S AT LEAST TRY TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER," i suggested..,
but i guess he was adamant
letting out a mocking laugh , "GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER? WHAT'S THERE TO KNOW? WE WERE ENGAGED AS KIDS, FOR GOD'S SAKE! THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.I DON'T WANT TO MARRY SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE OUR PARENTS SAID SO. I HAVE A CAREER TO FOCUS ON, AND I CAN'T LET ANYONE JEOPARDIZE IT,"
that reply of him made me clear he is not only frustrated but also very angry about his parents descision
from his behaviour in these whole discussion i understood that my patience is the only thing which i should keep in check
"YOU THINK I DON'T HAVE A CAREER? I'M A DOCTOR, AND MY WORK IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO ME. BUT I BELIEVE THAT TWO PEOPLE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A RELATIONSHIP WORK," i countered him
after few seconds again gaining the gone patience,
"I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE ENGAGED WITHOUT OUR CONSENT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T MAKE THE MOST OF IT. AFTER ALL, OUR PARENTS ARE BLOOD RELATIVES AND THEY WOULDN'T WANT US TO BE UNHAPPY," i replied calmly.
this discussion was not going to an end he was very adamant
raising his eyebrow [not gonna lie his every action was very sexy ]
"OUR PARENTS? THEY ARE THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS MESS. THEY CAN'T JUST DECIDE OUR FUTURE WITHOUT EVEN ASKING US!"
i nodded in agreement because i always wanted to choose my soulmate by myself but we are here, in this mess coz of our parents
"I AGREE, BUT WE CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST. WE CAN ONLY MAKE THE BEST OF THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE." i said believing in our future
he sighed and leaned back in his chair, "LOOK, RUHANIKA, I'M NOT READY FOR This Marriage. I Have A DEMANDING JOB AS A POLICE OFFICER AND I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A RELATIONSHIP, LET ALONE A MARRIAGE."
i could sense the fear and pain in his eyes ...., his eyes they convey a lot of emotions.., but i refused to back down
i leaned forward and placed my hand on his
that small contact made a shiver run down my spine
"I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, BUT I'M WILLING TO GIVE THIS MARRIAGE A CHANCE. I PROMISE TO SUPPORT YOU AND WORK ALONGSIDE YOU IN WHATEVER WAY I CAN. OUR PARENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US, IT'S TIME WE MAKE THEM HAPPY TOO"
i said with the last hope he was surprised i sensed it in his eyes but before he could speak anything waiter served the food
i clearly remember i didnt order any food but i guess he ordered it before i made my presence here
we started digging in after few bites he started speaking
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WHY ARE YOU WILLING TO MARRY SOMEONE YOU BARELY KNOW?"
smiling sheepishly,"BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN MAKING THE BEST OF EVERY SITUATION. AND WHO KNOWS, WE MIGHT ACTUALLY END UP FALLING IN LOVE."
still maintaning his cold demeanor he said "I'M SURE I WONT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU"
smirking at his words i said "LETS SEE"
finishing our food,bidding bye to him i left from there with a small smile
no doubt vasu radha always gives me the best one,
"Maybe, just maybe, this arranged marriage wouldn't be such a bad thing after all."
on reaching home i plopped on single seated sofa and called mom dad before they join me in living i started checking my mails
but....
one mail dragged my attention i was litterally shocked and surprised at the same time all the sourroundings were completely blank
somewhere faintly i was hearing someone calling my name and i came out of my lala land...vasu and radha were tensed they continuosly kept on asking whats wrong ...
gaining my consciousness completely..,
"VASU RADHA I HAVE ONE GOOD NEWS AND ONE BAD NEWS WHICH U WANNA LISTEN FIRST"
V:good News R:bad News
both said at a time
taking a breif pause,"MY ANSWER FOR UR ALLIANCE IS YES...
thats it they were in cloud nine probably cloud 999 haha...
i guess realisation hit them now they were all ready to listen the bad news
