Arranged Marriage To Love

Chapter 5 - Preparations

Riya's POV

The following day, I woke up and went about my daily routine. I went to my closet to chose my clothes for today. I choosed my light purple and brown kurti with brown leggings. And did my daily routine for makeup. I put my hair in my usual side puff and then in ponytail.

I went out of my room to kitchen and saw my mom cooking breakfast.

"Good morning mom." I said.

"Good morning Riya. Here's your breakfast." She says after making a plate for me.

"Thank you mom."

As I was having my breakfast, my mom comes out of kitchen with a paper in her hand.

"Riya, can you bring grocery today?"

"Yes mom. But we just brought grocery for this month, why again?"

"Dear, did you forget about our guests that are coming for dinner?"

"No mom. I haven't."

"So I was thinking about the dinner menu for that day.... and I was thinking to prepare a simple dinner with one home made desert which you will prepare." She said.

"Yeah mom I think simple dinner will be a great idea but for the desert .." I stop and think over for few moments and then continue,"what about kheer?"

"Hmmm. I think thats a good idea." She said.

"Okay mom. Got to go. Or else I will be late then."

"Riya, don't forget to take this." She said while giving me some money and the list.

"Bye mom and say bye to dad for me please." I said.

"Bye. And i will."

With that I left my home to go to college.

As soon as I reached college, I was bombarded with many questions from my bestfriends. I told them about the chat that I had with my mom yesterday and even today's.

******(Conversation starts here.)******

(M : Monika, A : Aisha, R : Riya)

M : toh jo log aane waale hai unko 3 bache hai. 2 ladke and 1 ladki.
(So the people who are coming have 3 kids i.e 2 boys and 1 girl.)

R : haan mom ne toh yahi kaha
(Yes mom said that only.)

A : waise...unke naam kya hai...??
(By the way, what are their names?)

R : The daughter's name is Ruhi.

A : Awwww...such a cute name.

M : Yeah and what about the sons?

R : The youngest son's name is Aarul and the eldest son's name is...

A : Yes yes tell us the name.

A says excitingly but M watches R carefully.

R answers hestatingly with : Rajveer.

Oh no not again... uhhhh... R thought to herself. But even then her heart skipped a beat.

M notices this and says : what happened Riya..??

R : nothing ... everything..oh god, I m so so so...ahhh...its just that whenever I listen his name or talk about him, my hearts feels wierd. Its just so confusing.

M understands that and trys to console her about it : Its okay Riya. It happens sometimes.

Even A joins and says : Yes it happens sometimes Riya. Dont worry.

*****(Conversation ends here.)******

After college, I went to near by grocery store to buy grocery from list that mom gave. And then I went home to give my mom the grocery bag.

I met my mother in kitchen and said while handing over grocery bag," mom here's your grocery and I was wondering if I could go to Aunt Lila's library store for some time?"

Aunt Lila is my maternal aunt. She owns a library shop which comes on my way to college.

Mom thinks about it for sometime and then said,"Okay you can go but help your aunt with while your there."

"Will do that mom. Thanks mom." I said excitingly.

I took out my wallet and cell phone from my college bag and left home after telling my mom bye and also that I will be back in an hour or two at most.
