Chapter 01

Milind rang the doorbell and waited for his girlfriend, Esha, to open the door. He needed to reiterate his eternal love towards her.

The smell of fresh roses and jasmine, growing near the porch, wafted in the air. After traveling for two hours from Mysore to Bangalore, Milind wished to return successful. His pulse quickened as the latch sounded. The door opened. Esha, in her dark blue skirt and white top, opened the door and glared at him. Her startled look turned to stone as her heart-shaped face slowly turned crimson and her eyes darkened.

"I don't want to hear. You can marry whoever you want." Esha frowned, a deep furrow growing across her brow. "You told me everything over the phone. Why did you come to meet me?"

Milind drew in a sharp breath, and looked into her eyes. "I have something----"

Before he finished talking, she turned her back and walked inside, her black ponytail wagging.

Milind followed her with his fists clenched. He needed to remain patient to achieve his goal.

The living room was newly painted in ivory and was lit with a fluorescent light. Esha sat on a black, leather couch with her arms crossed.

Milind sat beside her. Esha's gold necklace on her elongated neck glittered in the sunlight. He needed to ignore her cheekiness and focus on appeasing her. "Esha, I know you're disappointed. But you need to listen."

"I don't want to." She shrugged.

Milind's heart sank. "Esha, I still love you. I have planned something for our future happiness. I need your support."

"Planned something?" Her eyes narrowed. "What is that?"

"Let me marry Rohita tomorrow. I'll come back to India next year and we will get married together."

Esha's nostrils flared. "Milind, don't be stupid." She lowered her gaze then looked back at him. "Before leaving America, you promised me we would get married this month. And my mother is eager to meet your parents." She put her curls behind her ears. "Why don't you tell your father you love me and we intend to get married?"
