DESPISED BY HIM

RUCHITA

I was shocked to hear about Mr. Khurana's marriage proposal for me and his younger son's marriage. I don't know what to feel right now, like I don't know him correctly. I haven't met him, just saw his pictures on Instagram.

Mr. Harin Khurana is my dad's college friend and they had already decided my and Nihar's marriage when we were 10,i remember a 10 year Nihar with runny nose and he used to play with me. He was my first best friend but when he was 11, Khurana's had shifted to mumbai for their expansion of business and from then, I haven't met any of them except my boss because I'm also working in Khurana Tech which is handled by Mr. Khurana's first son. I just hope, Nihar is also happy with this relationship because I don't want this to be a forced relationship.

I'll try my best to make this relationship work and give my best in everything. Next day, both families came to our house and we discussed about wedding date and engagement date. Priest suggested us 2-3 dates and we have talked and decided the dates, for engagement 13th July and wedding 12 December. Of course, it's going to be a big fat Indian wedding. It's not chat mangni te patt viyah types shadi.

But throughout the whole day, Nihar seems so silent and disturbed. It's seems like he's not happy with this marriage. He didn't even looked at me for a minute, something seems off even his family except his dad weren't interested in anything. I told my dad about my worries after Khurana's left to their residence but he assured me that Nihar is just shy and introvert , there's nothing like that. Even if he's not comfortable then you guys can be comfortable with each other in future. After hearing him, I also decided to just enjoy the journey and not worry about future. Please, Harihar be with me.

On 10th july, Khurana ladies had come to our house and told my mom to call me and go with them to mall for shopping of my engagement. My mom called me home urgently and when I arrived home, I saw everyone there and then my mom told me to get ready quickly. I gave my would be in-laws a smile and went to my room for getting ready.

I came out of my room in a pink churidar and my sling bag hanging on my right shoulder. After seeing me, they all stood up and then we went to mall but I told my mom to come with me as well and after a lot of pestering she agreed. As I wanted someone from my side as well.

🧿

Today is my engagement and what I'm feeling right now can't be expressed. I'm happy, sad, nervous and what not. Just I wish that my this new journey become beautiful, please God. My mom took me to stage and made me stand beside him. Not gonna lie but he's handsome, it's like attraction in first sight. I know it's love in first sight but I think no one can love someone just by seeing them because if you love someone just after seeing them then it's attraction and when the one you are attracted with will lose his/her charm, you'll stop feeling anything for them. I know my logic is stupid but what to do, my logics are too practical.

Preist tied a thread around our wrists, and then we were told to exchange rings. This time he looked at me for a second before forwarding his hand to take the ring from box, my mom told me to forward my hand to him. He held my hand and gently slides the ring in my ring finger. Now I'm 50% his, it's sound cringe naf funny but that's what everyone said to me, that after he'll make me wear ring I'll be his 50℅, funny right.

Now I was told to make him wear ring, I slides the ring in his finger without touching him. I don't know why but I was too shy to hold his hand. Everyone hooted for us and danced a lot, the function was fun but by the end of function, I was looking a red tomato when me and Nihat were ask to dance together but thanks to my complexion it wasn't that obvious.

I don't why I felt something is wrong but I think it's just because of nervousness. Please, God I hope everything goes well.
