“When are you getting married?”

I almost spit out my food when dadu spoke, making me gulp down before doing something stupid.

I kept my quite and dadi continued, “Vir beta, it's getting late and before dying I want to welcome my great grandchildren”

Are they for real?

I'm not married and they already went that far?

But I recomposed myself because one wrong move might turn into something too wrong. Mr Ranvijay Raghuvanshi might be my grandfather but he had ruled the Indian markets in his times. Seeing through my lies won't be an issue for them .

I'm not very outspoken about my feelings with anyone, I don't like people intruding in my business and work . I'm better off thinking about my stuff myself. But I can't deny them, they are my family.

I see all eyes on me and the smile on mom's and chachi’s face is not helping.

So I said “ I will marry when I find someone I like.”

Well they didn't expected much , I can see that on their face.

I find myself lost in thought, grappling with the weight of their expectations against the desires of my own heart. I know they mean well, urging me to settle down and start a family of my own, but the truth is, I'm not sure what I want.

Mumma spoke up “ Is there someone?”

That's a question I want to answer myself as well.

What if it's her? —since I met her at the bookstore , She had a way about her, a quiet strength that drew me in like a magnet. In her presence, the noise of the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the echo of our shared laughter and the warmth of her smile. It was as if she held the key to unlocking the mysteries of my heart, gently coaxing me out of my shell with each passing moment.

But I shook  my head cause this growing infatuation might just be from my side alone and I can't force myself upon her. But I can try to win her right?.

I can't pinpoint on what exactly I felt but the way she talks , her passion for her profession, how she genuinely cares for people around her , that smile of hers which have me spellbound but there is something in her eyes, they held me captive. Something behind them tells me there is a lot more than she shares. I can't call her out on it cause we met only twice but with her I felt at ease. In this world of constant havoc , she was the calmness I seek.

With that people didn't push the question further. I see the questions in their eyes , but there will be a right time for everything and I can only hope that I'll find the courage to follow my heart, wherever it may lead.

Time skip —

I was lying in my room on my bed after preparing the presentation which I have to give tomorrow to the Oberoi’s for the upcoming deal. I'm quite certain that we will make it through. But I couldn't sleep. The thought lingered in my mind that what I actually want?

Deep down, I long to love someone wholeheartedly, to pour my soul into a connection that transcends the ordinary. Yet, there's a shadow of fear lingering in the corners of my mind, a fear I can't quite articulate. It's as if I'm afraid of losing myself in the intensity of such a bond, of surrendering to vulnerability and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
