Shivika's POV:

After all the heated conversations and crying session , I got up the next morning and started to get ready. I came out of bathroom and my phone went off with notification. I didn't pay much attention to that and got ready. 

I came out of my room to see my mother and father on dining table waiting for me. I didn't say anything and just sat to have breakfast. As soon as I finished my breakfast my mother told 

"I've given your number to Mrs Bharadwaj , so her son would call you or message you. So speak properly" she said with a little harsh voice. 

I was more stunned at her now. Firstly she didn't ask me about meeting him and told them her decision, now phone number !! 

I just nodded not wanting to have any conversation which will make my mood off when it was already very bad. I came to office and started to work. I remembered something so opened my phone to check and I noticed an unknown number message - "Hi Shivika ! 😊"

I was wondering who might this person be , then it flashed ! May be he is the guy.

I didn't know what to do now. Should I reply him ? Should I not ? What should I reply ? I was going crazy when I got Saarika's call. I was just happy to see her name. 

I immediately received her call and 

Sh -   I was thinking to call you only now !

Sa - Wahh ! No Hi no Hello , direct conversation ?

Sh - The situation I'm in right now doesn't need Hi or Hello.

Sa - Why?  What happened ? Anything serious ?

Sh -  Kind of serious and kind of not ......

Sa -  Don't beat around the bush and spill 

I explained her everything about the meeting each other things and phone number thing also.

Sa - Ohhhh !!  What are you thinking to do now ? Will you meet him ? or atleast speak with him ?

Sh -  I'm not sure yaar ... I'm completely blank to think anything. One side I don't want to meet anyone and other side appa and amma are desperate  to make me meet him. I'm totally confused ! ( I told her with tears in my eyes)

Sa -  Heyy Shivi !! Calm down. I know these things might be very intense for you. All the other pressure from uncle and aunty. Just tell me one thing you want to meet him or not ?

Sh -  I don't know ..... It feels like I've lost all the ability to make decisions. My heart says to meet him but my mind goes back on all the negative thoughts. You know na, in picture only he looks so handsome, why would someone like him choose me ? Even if he wants to meet me then he might also be forced by his parents na ? 

Sa -  Shivi !! Don't make scenarios in your head like this .... it'll hurt you yaar .... You can do one thing , meet him once and see how he is in person actually. If you don't like him then reject him. 

Sh - But .......

Sa -  You don't have any other chance, do you ? If you'll not agree to meet him then uncle and aunty will put more pressure on you meet him. Let's say if you reject him then they'll bring some other profiles . And if you find him good and want to move further then it is also good. I know you don't want to get married before 25 but is it a rule that you can't meet anyone ? You can put your condition of marrying after 25 in front of him and see how he reacts. We do not know what is in your destiny, so go with the flow babe ........
