Train To My Marriage

On cloud nine....!

"Didn't you want to remind me of our previous meeting? Didn't you want me to give you a reply for your proposal? "

Is this what she said? Or did I hear it wrong? Probability is more for the second one, I guess!

"Did you just say that? "I asked her supectedly.

"Why shouldn't I? It was you who started it all! "She said with a smirk looking away from me.

"Shruthi, at last you've made up your mind to...."

Not did I complete my sentence, than her phone buzzed.

"Yeah dad, I'll be there now"that's all she said.

"Gotta go, bye.. "

"Hey wait please, I just wanna know if you like me or not"

"What would you expect me to say? "

"A yes! "(Please)

Winking her eyes she said "I just wanted to know if you remembered that day of our first meet. And I wonder that you haven't yet changed your mind of falling for me. That's so strange. "

"I'm glad to hear that. You know something, though we've not talked more nor got familiar with each other, I feel a strong bind of relationship between us which makes me feel so strange.I don't know if I'll get this feeling ever with anyone in the future ."

"Really! I do respect your emotions but..... We have to wait for a good future, shouldn't we? So, I can't say anything but just to wait until we get to catch our bright future. "

I felt that she noticed the fade of the spark in my face after her  words.

She regretfully walked towards the road and in a minute she turned and said, "why don't you meet my father? He's so good, you know"

What! Why is she asking me to meet her father? Has she started to feel this relationship a serious one like me? If that's so, why would I neglect? My God! I was on cloud nine!

"Sure, shruthi. Where is he? It'll be my pleasure if you introduce me to your father. "I said instantly.

She startled as if she hadn't expected my sudden YES! She said "I'll take you there but you shouldn't talk of that thing between us okay! "She said it in an ordering tone.

That thing! Am I really talking to her? That girl in the train who refused to reply me. And now, is she approving her love for me, though not officially , has she accepted me?

WOW! At that moment, there could be none here who felt so happy as me, so grateful as me to God. I finally got a Yes from her. Certainly, she will declare it to me, as soon as possible. I can wait. Sure. For her. Only for her.

I turned away and smiled to my pleasure.

"Ahem....! Ugh ugh.... "She used the trick of a cough to bring me back to my present.

I looked at her to find a sweet smile there too, which she tried to hide but it escaped to amuse me.

"Did you hear what I said? Or were you in your day dreams as usual huh?"

I thought she felt it too early now to reveal me as her future soul mate to her dad. I accepted. She swayed her hand to follow me.

She was nervous. She asked in the midway, "do you really wanna meet him now? I think I was in a hurry saying that! "

I expected it!

She looked beautiful with her confused face.But I can't let it be like that for I always wanted a smile on her face.

"Indeed that was a hurry. But I can't stop the interest in me to meet your dad. I'll just meet him as your friend. I suppose you have friends of opposite gender? "I started to walk with her.

"Hey, I don't have friends of opposite gender worth introducing to my dad okay! "She said with an angered tone. I liked it.

"Hey relax, I didn't really mean it.Just kidding shruthi.... "I said with a glee.

She smiled at me as if she'd understood my skill of teasing her.

We went further and reached a restaurant. "He's over there"she said in a lowered tone.

"Are you scared of him? "

"Not really. I love him."

"Then why are you nervous? As if you're gonna reveal your life partner to him? "I laughed.

She turned at me giving an angry look. "Shut up Arjun"she said.

I indeed could see a grin over her lips.

"The one dressed in a blue shirt is my dad. You go first"she said.

"Okay, daddy's little girl. "I walked towards him.

I don't know how we became too close to each other just after the second meeting then. Is this what they say that
'people related in previous births do recognise healthy bonding between them in their first meet'?

I walked towards the man in blue shirt,my future father-in-law with a smile accompanying me. I don't know what I'd talk but I'll try to impress him.

What if he neglects giving his daughter's hand in marriage to someone involved in cinema? I prepared some crispy dialogues to convince him, on the way of my walk toward him which took about three minutes !The time was too short but at that moment, it valued a lot!
