Part 3

I wear the saree bhabi gifted me when I got the job.... I looked at the mirror finally make sure that I am looking perfect.... Before I turn out to walk out of the room I saw his photo on my table.... I took it.... He is handsome.... Unknowingly a smile appeared on my lips...

Finally everyone is decided to take my freedom.... There is only 1 month left for the marriage and still he is a stranger for me..... I sighed and kept it inside my personal dairy.... Or can I call it as my soul mate. I ran out of the room to collide with dad...

'dad I am leaving... Bye...' I ran out of the house without waiting him to respond...

bhabi is already gone to work....and don't know where is my stubborn brother..... I walked to the bus stop and I saw omkara Singh oberoi is waiting near the bus stop.... I don't know what to do.... It was the first time after that I seeing him....

'hai.., gauri....'

'hai..... Are you waiting for someone?'

'yes for you' I don't know why but my cheeks warmed...

'can we talk....?'

'actually, I am already getting late.... May be some other time......' I said without looking at him....

'then I will drop you....come...' Je said and turned towards his white suv....did i say earlier that I love white....

I looked around.... I am not sure about a drive with a stranger.... And I don't want to create any talks around me.....

Whether he seen my nervousness or not I heard him say with a smile....and I like his smile....

'gauri, its ok we are getting married soon...' I smiled at his words and walked towards the other side....

The drive was so quite.... Non of us talk anything untill his calm yet strong voice disturbed me from my my thoughts...

' are you still confused? '

'ahhh no.... '

'then why are you so silent..... Shivay said you are talkative one...'

'ya.... In home.... '

'when you going to take leave....?'

'i don't think about that.... Maybe after marriage.... I don't think I get so many days. Maybe a week....'

' you are too young to be a college lecturer.....' He said with a smile...

I chuckled hearing that..... First time I felt relaxed in his presence..... Maybe the equations are changing....

'actually.., doing b pharm was my choice... But I am not keen to work in hospital... Don't know why?'

'if shivay is saying the truth then its because you are a sleeping freak....'

' hey! Don't believe him.... He is ridiculous sometimes....'

'its that teaching post is a safe zone..... You get holidays, no extra hours, year breaks.... You can get back home early.... And ultimately the respect you gets as a teacher.... And teaching college students is fun...' I smiled....

'you are close to dad, right?'

'hmmm... He is my hero.... I was 14 when mom passed away....dad and I are always friends. Bhai is more like a father figure for me.... Now I am too close to anika Bhabi.... She is a gem we got.... She is the one who always fill the void creates after mom's death...' A small tear escaped from my eyes....

'sorry... I didn't mean to.....' I felt him out of words....

' it's alright.... I outgrown that phase of my life... Before bhai's marriage I have so much worries.... Just like me and dad , mom and shivay form a gang.... I know after mom's death he became so closed... First time I felt happiness in my selection , Anika bhabi.... Do you know I threatened him to marry her.....' I laughed remembering how I emotionally blackmailed him to marry Anika....the girl of my choice.

I found him looking at me..... A smile adorning his lips...... I looked away from him..... I know the equations are changing....

'what I call you?' I asked without looking at him....

'Everyone calls me om.... You too....' He smiled....

'why an arranged marriage?' He asked. 'you are beautiful and I don't think no one find you till now...'

' I don't think I have any other option.... Love marriage is always out of my way.... Shivay will kill me with his bare hands....' He smile seeing my horrified expression......

'so why you choose an arranged marriage....?'

' I searched a long for someone who will fit into my soul. When I got it, it turned out to be an arranged one...' He looked into my eyes..... And I felt he is watching my soul.....

I shook my head....

'arranged marriage is always a funny concept.... All in your life you are learned to not talk to strangers and suddenly one day you are asked to sleep with a stranger.....'

' still we are strangers....' I heard a disappointed voice.....

' its changing..... ' I said smilingly....

'i will miss home ..... Dad..... Everything..... He is all I have...'

'i never let you miss them...' It was a promise...
