Wrong Decisions to Right Paths

Chapter 10

After the discussion about the farm trip, we started leaving. Arjun and my dad helped in keeping the gifts and stuffs in the car. My mom and Nandini Aunty were discussing something. Riddhima and Jay left because their little Pari was very exhausted. And I was sitting in the patio looking at others. I could not help them because of this dress.

I feel everything is going really fast. In one week my life changed drastically. I got engaged to get married after six months. I think I like Arjun. He is being very honest with me. But I am not being very honest with myself or him. Could I be a good choice for him?

I am really scared for my future. No matter how much I am pleased with Arjun I still have this negative thoughts. All of them are being very sweet to me but will they be always this sweet to me?

My questions will not be answered until I get married. The life takes a test first then teaches you the lesson. Am I really prepared?

After being in my thoughts I decided without being a sad person here I will accept whatever's coming my way. Whether good or bad. I will prepare myself for the worst. With the new determination in me I smiled at my mom who was coming my way. Maybe to fetch me.

" Come Radhika let's go." My mom asked me. And I went with her. Dad gave me a heart warming hug. Nandini Aunty also hugged me and Arjun helped me inside the car.

Later the next day. Samaira called me and we had a very brief talk. It was mostly random things. We talked like for an hour or so. She seemed very good. But I will not raise my hopes. I am still being prepared for the worst.

If someone was to hear my thoughts even after all this they would definitely think that I am being very unthankful. But as it's said prevention is better than cure.

It's Sunday morning. I woke up early today not like I did on my engagement day. I helped my mom with breakfast and then helped her with other stuff for the farm.

I got ready in white shirt and black skinny jeans with blue jacket and boots.

My mom also got ready and we left for Arjuns house.

I am nervous as well as excited. I will let myself enjoy the trip. No negative thoughts are going to affect me today. I did not promise myself but determined myself.

We reached Arjuns house. In the morning the house is looking a bit different without the decorations and without the pile of cars outside.

(You can imagine there balcony right above the driveway. It's where Arjuns room is. As I have mentioned in earlier chapter.)

We saw everyone has arrived already. And it seemed everything was ready as well. My mother parked the car.

Everyone started to take their seats in the bus. Mom and Nandini Aunty sat together. Jay and Arjun were together. Dad was with Pari. I and Riddhima went to the back seats and sat.

It was not like Riddhima had a happy married life. Everyone have their own share of challenges but I am glad that it's better than our mom. And I am sure even I will have my share of challenges but how will I handle is up to me. But I am prepared for the worst.

It was almost two to three hours or maybe more hours when we reached the farm.

It's a very beautiful farm house. I really like it. Arjun and Nandini Aunty started showing us around the farm house. In the back they were servant quarters and huge area for horses.
