My Love

9. With Hope

Aradhana's Pov

Now I am currently laying in my bed comfortably staring at the stealing with wide eyes. The sleep was no where near. I kept thinking about today's event.

The things the priest said were making my heart at peace and giving me the hope of happily ever after.

But my mind says don't get your hopes up repeatedly.

We never talked about our first meeting.

As per Aparna aunty said he will take time to change but for that changes to happen firstly I have to change myself.

Will I be able to change myself and talk with him without fear.

After his fight with that guys I sensed he too had anger issues.

How I am going to handle myself when he becomes angry towards me.

Or should I speak with him about the things which will affect me in various ways.

I stopped my running thought for a minute.

No no no.

How can I think about this scenario.

Then he may stop this wedding by telling these reasons. I can't tell him till marriage atleast.

And also I should spend these six months in useful way.

The progress in our relationship can wait till marriage.

The priest and our family took right decision in deciding marriage dates.

I don't have any job now. So these months are the most important period of my life It will decide my future and I should do things wisely.

But one thing I am sure about intentionally or unintentionally I started to like him and his presence beside me.

He looked so handsome in that blue shirt well of course he is handsome everyday.

My cousins were teasing me non stop till we reached our home. Everyone commented how hot he looks and most of them were married even though all of my girl cousins were sighting him.

I admire him for being a good son and I hope he will be good husband and father too.

I smiled shyly thinking about what Swamiji said.

Seriously six!

He looked flushed at that time. Yeah I was looking at him the whole time as he was avoiding looking at me.

I can't stop my smile.

Immediately I took my phone and open my social media.

I am not big fan of it. This is a private account without proper identity of me I just created this dummy account only to follow his account.

I opened his account and started to scroll down the pictures and took screenshots of some photos.

Looking at the number of posts, it's looks like he is highly active in it unlike me.

I noticed he loves to travel, trekking and explore.

Some pictures tells he went on a solo trips and some with his friends.

Again he has more friends unlike me.

I also saw the same girl from that movie day in these pictures. Clicked on her account Id which he tagged below their pictures.

She is also having lots of followers like him. She also posted the same picture. They seemed to be close. She put the caption as

"In prefect place at perfect timing with my slp person" added with hearting emoji.

Seeing him smiling at her I got jealous thinking he never ever smiled at me not even little bit.

My inner voice said you are getting jealous for him.... FOR THE MAN.... this is not you who gets these kind of immature feelings.

Yeah right. They were friends of course they would be close.

I immediately came out of that social media and uninstalled it.

I shouldn't have distractions now. Even his mere thoughts were distracting me from my plans.

He can have fun however he wants.

It's better he not talk to me for this six months like he used to be till now.

I tried not to think about him and sleep in peace. I closed my eyes hoping my future will be happy like Swamiji said.

Karthik Pov

I was thinking about today's incidents. I couldn't sleep I was thinking about what Swamiji said. I don't know if I should believe him or not.

I don't even know her yet. Should I speak with her to know her or should I ask her brother.

But won't he tell me to speak with her. Maybe yes.

How can I speak with her. Either of us never initiated the conversation.

Dose she waiting for me to start first. If she is expecting me to have a chat with her then no I am not going to start the conversation.

Then how I will know her.

Suddenly one idea clicked. I take my phone. I searched her in social media.

If one person wants to know other persons, in this generation easily can be found in these social apps.

I can't find her. There are hundreds of accounts in the name of Aradhana put her father name also but no results.

I searched in whatever the social media apps I have but she is not in any of it.

It's looks like she is not a real person who lives in this world.

One thought crossed my mind what if she is under fake id.

But it's difficult to find it.

Okay I searched his brother yeah I got his account.

He didn't even posted a single picture with his sister.

He was only following 35 people. I looked into it to find any anonymous account.

All my efforts of 1 hour went in vein.

Why this sibling looks weird. Atleast he have posted so many pictures him and with friends and decent number of followers.

Is she really not social person. But I thought she playing good girl role in front of everyone by her silent nature.

Whatever her character be I hope I won't fall for her never in this life even she became my wife I won't love her.

I hope what ever Swamiji said won't happen in real life.

Both are hoping for their future but not together. Whose wish is gone to happen to be true in the upcoming chapters.
