My Arranged Marriage (ON HOLD)

chapter 17

I didn't give my answer to him. I need to think about it. So I told him I need time. We went to our apartment. We waited for elevator.

"Hmm... Anju, I am going to the pool area. "

"At this time? Why?"

"Because its quite there. I like to sit there at this time. It has a calming effect. "

"Well. ... then see you later. "

I went to my apartment. Alex was there.

"Hey Anju " Alex greets me.

"Hi Alex "

"OK then. Am going. "

"No..no..no... don't mind me. I will be in my room. "

"No need. We just waiting for you. Good night. "

He went and kissed Stella on her cheeks. She blushed and mumbled good night. He went out.

"Ooooo..... someones face become tomato red. "

"Shut up Anju. "

"Aww. ... you guys are cute."

"Thanks. I think he is the one. "

"Aww.... that's nice. What about Lee min ho? "

"That. .. I don't know. Anyways how's your date with Sidhu? "

"Its not a date. "

"Then what? Business trip? Anju, tell me what's the matter? Something is bothering you. I can see it in your eyes. "

"He asked me to be his girlfriend. "

"Wow. . . . That's great. What did you say? "

"I said I need time. "

"For what? Waiting for Varun? "

"Its not like that. I think I am not ready for a relationship. "

"Two years is more than enough. You must move on. "

"Did you guys talk about him. "

"Kind off."

"What did you talk? "

"Nothing much. Listen Anju, you should move on. Sidhu is really nice. He loves you. Its in his eyes. As far as I know he is good for you. Then what are you waiting for? "

"I don't know. "

"Tell me your opinion about Sidhu. "

"He is nice. He always look out for me. He is fun."

"I think you like him. Then what are you waiting for. Go for it. "

"Yeah. I should go to him. He said he is going to pool. Should I call Alex?"

"Am not a baby. Just go girl. "

"Will you okay by yourself?"

"Its not like you are going to America. Just get out of here. "

I went to pool area. He was there sitting at the pool side with his legs in water and gazing at the stars. I removed my heels and sit besides him with my legs in water. He is right. It feels so good.

"Do you mind? "

"Anju! Not at all. "

"You were right. Its really nice here. "

He smiled.

"Ummm... Sidhu. .. about what I said earlier..."

"You don't have to reply now. I will wait until you are ready. "

"I will give it a try. "

"WHAT?? Say it again. "

"Yes Sidhu. I will be your girlfriend. "

He hugged me.

"Thank you so much Anju. You make me the happiest man the world. "

Sorry for the super delay in updating. Thanks to those who patiently waiting for the update. This is a short chapter. But still something is better than nothing. WritersInspration8 mentioned my story in arranged marriage and Indian stories. Thanks for that.
