Sacred Love

Chapter 2

The first meeting

    Today, as expected, was marked as one of the greatest days in Diya's life. She has officially started to work as a lecturer. Since her childhood, she had always dreamt about being a teacher. She still remember the time when her little self used to drape saree for herself using her mother's duppatta  and acting like a teacher who is in charge of 3rd C . And today she has finally achieved her dream.
    
  She reached her home by 6:30 pm. The traffic of Delhi is so hectic,that when she reached home,she felt like her soul has been drained from her.

Standing in front of her home, she knocked on the door. It's opened by her grandmother. She gave her a tight hug and got inside . " How's your first day Diya Ma'am?" as soon as she entered her home  her father asked with a grin.
"Paaa…. My first day was quite good. Today I felt like I have achieved something great. And also I had a great time with my students. It's so nice to be in college once again. But I really hate this heavy traffic." She replied.
"Oh my child, you have definitely achieved the greatest thing dear. It is not easy to pursue what you dreamt for, and you have made it. Nothing can match that happiness Diya ." Said her father so sweetly.
" Yes my chellam (dear) , You had completed your PG , you had cleared NET , you had passed the interview on your own. We could never be proud of you anymore. Now there is only one responsibility remaining for you " said her mother Seema.
" Mmm…. What's that maa" Diya asked.
"It is to find your husband. If you have anyone in your mind you can share it with us. If you bring any boy from our caste we will be so happy for you. But if you want us to find one ,then we are ready for that also." Said her mother .
She gave her mother a small smile and went to her room to take a bath.

After she took the bath she had her favorite Chettinadu chicken curry made by her father for her achievement along with rice."Mmmmmmm…… Paaa this is semma tasty. My taste buds have been blessed by this . " Diya said while gulping her water.

They were sitting in the living room after dinner. They all are doing their own stuff. Grandma is sewing something. Raj and Seema are watching T V .Diya is scrolling through her Instagram.Suddenly
They all heard a knock on the door. "Who has come to meet us this hour?" Raj asked, irritated. Raj and Seema went to look at the person, who continuously kept knocking on their room..
Diya was still scrolling through the phone when she heard "Deepu, what a great surprise my son. ?" from her  mother. She becomes so happy and runs towards the door to meet her one and only brother. She just jumps into him and gives a cola hug. She was so content with the surprise meeting with her brother. "Let him breathe child," said Seema . Deepak entered the house with a clinging Diya on his hand.

" Hey Deepu, Why didn't you pick my call yesterday? I got so worried thinking that you might have caught some fever like the last time" said Raj.

  "Paaa… I just want to give you a surprise. My roommate Aman was planning to visit his parents, since now we don't have so much workload and I thought that I should do the same. So we took the flight from Mumbai to Delhi this morning. And now I am here in front of you".

    " What took you so long to reach here, if you reached Delhi in the morning?". Asks his granny.
   
" Granny, I was with Aman and it was his niece's first birthday. So he invited me to his house to attend the party. So I accompanied him." Said Deepak.

"Then why don't you invite him to our family?" Raj asked Deepak. " Well I did. He is the one who dropped me here. He went to the nearby bakery to buy you some sweets as it's his first time in his family. He will be here in five mins guys" Deepak said .

" Well he is such a gentleman then if he thought of buying sweets. I really love sweets." Diya said while placing her head on Deepak's shoulder . You're supposed to give him some sweets since it's your first day as lecturer Diya, Madam" jokes Deepak.

That's then they heard a knock on the door. Deepak stood up from his seat and went to the door to open it. " Hey Aman, get inside. Everybody is waiting for you." Diya could only hear Deepak' s sound as she was sitting in the sofa which is kept back faced to the door.

Diya turned her head towards the door, when Deepak said "Everyone, this is my best friend and roommate Mr. Aman Malik."
