Wrong Decisions to Right Paths

Chapter 6

We did not had a dance as it typically happens. We were seated and people were coming and congratulating us. After sometime everyone were busy with the dinner. Riddhima came to me and asked me to have food but I declined as I was not feeling hungry. She did not force me but gave me some juice and left to attend the guests. We both were sitting silently. Then Nandini Aunty came.

“ Arjun why don’t you go and show your room to Radhika. And also ask what all changes does she wants to have before coming here.” Nandini aunty said.

“ No its ok. I am ok with anything.” was all I could say but in vain. Arjun took hold of my hand and took me towards his room upstairs. Nandini aunty just smiled and went to attend the guests.

We reached his room. But as soon as we reached his room, he closed the door behind us. I was hell nervous now so I moved a little away from him.

“ I am not going to eat you. Relax. I felt that you were very uncomfortable down there.” He said assuring me. I smiled at him. But I could not say to him that he was the reason I am so nervous and uncomfortable. After knowing the person with whom you are going to get married is pretty a nervous task to be around him.

Then he started showing me his room. It had a big balcony just above the main entrance to the house. In one corner was a big bed and with a small study area. And the other side was the bathroom. And in the center was a round sofa with a tv. The bathroom had a jacuzzi. I really liked his room. Everything was arranged so nicely. I felt that it’s just a dream and I am going to wake up any moment.

“ So I guess you don't know much about me,” Arjun asked and I simply nodded.

“ Well I live in US. I came here for my friends marriage and got engaged myself.” He chuckled.

“ How do you know me?” I asked the question that was wandering in my thoughts since I saw him.

“ Well my mom saw you somewhere I don't know exactly but she liked you and she talked to your mom regarding our alliance. I saw your picture which my mom sent me. Maybe your mom gave her. And to be honest I really liked you. And when I saw you in person I started loving you. I know it sounds lame that first sight love only exist in movies or romantic books. But I am experienced enough to judge a person.” He said with a genuine smile.

Well I am not very convinced, don't blame me I have seen my father being very nice to my mom but ended up getting married to another woman. But still I gave him a polite smile in return. I don't know how should I answer him.
