The Story Of Us

6. Are You Ingnoring Me?

Mavika's Pov

"Samajhte kya hai khud ko 'don't expect anything from me after this marriage" I spoke mimicking his voice as I am talking to Anvika on call.

"Main toh jaise mari ja rahi hoon unse shadi karne ke liye, agar unko yahi chaiye toh thik hai, main bhi koi efforts nahi karungi. Aur kya bol rahe the ki unki life me interfere na karu, interfere chodo main baat tak nahi karungi jab tak ki zaroori na ho"

I am just blabbering all the things he said to me to Anvika and she is just listening to me. To be honest, when he said those words I felt a little hurt, but then I shrugged it off. If he doesn't wanna try to make the best of the situation, so why should I be the one to do the efforts.

"Mavi, forget about it. Just go with the flow. Ab uss baat ko soch soch kar apna dimaag mat sada. Just chill. Dekhna everything will be fine." Anvika said from the other side of the phone.

"Hmm. You are right. Main ab uss bare me sochungi hi ni. Waise hum sab Sunday ko Shekhawat mansion ja rahe hai, shadi and engagement ki date fix karne ke liye" I tell her.

"Ok, keep me updated. I have some work left, so I will talk to you later. Bye"

"Bye" I said and cut the call.

I am lying on my bed after changing my clothes. I am staring at the ceiling, thinking about the 360° turn my life took in just some days. I am getting married, that to a man doesn't even want give this relationship a chance. What will be my life after marrying him. I always dreamt of a partner who would love me, understand me, support me, deal with my overthinking and insecurities. But now, I doubt that any of this will happen. It's not his fault even, why would a man like him will marry a girl like me, who doesn't have a body and hight of a model as the girl in our upper class circle has. I am just a 5 feet girl with chubby cheeks and a curvy body. Whereas he is so handsome, with well built body. I am sure that I would not be even close to his ex girlfriends in the matter of looks.

I appreciate him for being straight forward with me and not giving me any false hopes. While these thoughts running in my mind I didn't realize when I fell asleep.

I don't even how these two days flew away by me being busy in my college and assignments. Today is Sunday and we have to go Shekhawat mansion in the evening by 4 because pandit will be coming by 5. Mom told me yesterday when Maa called her to inform about the timing. It's afternoon now, I get up from my bed to go downstairs for having lunch.

I enter the dining room. Today is Sunday so papa is also at home today. Aarav is also sitting beside mom and the strange thing is, he is not on his phone today like every other day. May be he got scolded by papa.

"Di, can you help me in my school project" Aarav spoke as I take my usual seat.

"Ok, but I have one condition". I say. Well siblings never help each other for free. That's the rule.

"What do you want?" he asks.

"Zyada kuch ni, bas jo tu abhi white hoody laya h, woh mujhe dede, main tera project bana dungi" I say while eating my lunch.

"Main black wali de dunga, white maine abhi ek baar bhi nahi pehni, ya fir aap koi dusri lelo" he said.

"mujhe wahi chahiye, warna apna project kisi aur se banwa le" I say.

"Ok, fine. Le lena, but mujhe next week tak project complete chahiye" he said and I show him a thumbs up.

Then I turn towards my father who is shaking his head at our antics.

"Mavika and Aarav, you both be ready before 4, we need to leave early because there will be traffic also" mom said to us both and we just nod our heads.
