Destined

chapter 3

*Ruby*

When I started sobbing, Mudassar was there to console me. He wrapped his arms around me, and whispered sweet nothings, and consoled me.

When I felt like I have emptied all my sufferings out, and when I started feeling better, I didn't move away from me.

As if sensing my reluctance he tightened his hold on me. And hugged me properly, so that my head will rest on his chest.

We sat like that what felt like hours, but in reality it was just few minutes.

All I could say was

"Why!??"

"I know you are upset, and this is too much for you. But please hear me out before you take any decision.

It was last year, when I overheard the conversation between our parents, our parents were discussing this, they were very happy, visioning our future together. That how this will strengthen their friendship. They were excited.

At first I didn't know, what to do, whether to tell you are not. Whether it's a good idea or not. I was seventeen and this was a big decision, I didn't know how to react around you.

Didn't know what you will think. And I was scared, I decided to keep quiet, till this day, I wanted our parents to confront you.

Along the way, some how I started to like the idea of being with you. How it will be easy and good if we marry in future. You know me better than any one in this world.
