You Will Love Me

A glimpse of past

Chapter:8

Eva's pov:

The night is very dark. There's no moonlight tonight. The rain has stopped pouring heavily now it turned to drizzle. As the garden light switched on, shadow of the trees and plants of the garden, formed different shapes. Cool breeze hit my face making me shiver lightly.

Tomorrow night is the reception...but strangely, I am alone tonight in this huge mansion. Mr. Raichand has left for business tour and expected to be home by tomorrow noon. There is no affirmation about Mrs. Raichand taking part in tomorrow's reception. Ricky's friends held a bachelor's party for him. Since he didn't have one in the past, when we got married.

I thought of calling Raina to stay over. But then I wanted to be alone..as loneliness somehow soothes me now. Rich people and thier life is still not understood by me. I come from a middle class family..life there is totally different from the high society people life.
Money makes everything so easy here....you don't have to worry if you have money. Everything is taken care of. The party planners arrange every single thing here. All we got to do is pay them and relax. Tomorrow's function is also given to a famous party planners.

I remember, the amount of effort and time my uncle and aunty had put to make my wedding day succesful. They personally invited all thier relatives near and far ones. Booked a wedding hall, arranged food caterers, rented furniture, booked appointment with the pandit to perform the rituals. Taking care of the relatives who have come to stay two days prior to the wedding day to attend my mehandi and haldi events. It was a happy vocation, everything looked so perfect. My home was packed with relatives and thier jokes, laughs, kids running around , everyone smiling. It was the happiest moment of my life.
Being an orphan, I have never dreamt of a wedding where people gathered happily to attend my wedding..our home was filled with people.. It made me smile when I woke up in the midnight to have a glass of water, a night before my wedding, pushing my twin cousins vidhi and vaibhav slowly aside who were resting thier head on either side of my shoulder. Slowly getting up and making way to the kitchen was a big task..I smiled when I saw people sleeping everywhere. Sittting room, dining hall , kids room almost everywhere. It was very difficult for me to reach kitchen wothout stamping on sleeping bodies. We dint have a party planners, responsibility was equally given to nearest relatives of my uncle, were happy to take part voluntarily. That night I was the happiest person on the earth.

When I reached back to my room from the kitchen, I took my mobile to check on time, I saw Aditya's message. My heart fluttered and a smile formed in my lips.

" Can't wait to have you as my wife, one more night to go. I am very happy Eva, six months wait gonna end and you will be mine. Have a good night sleep sweetheart."

I felt so lucky for the first time In my life..Everything was so perfect..I felt so content that night.
Aditya, a loving and caring person. He is every girl's dream to have a husband like him. A gentleman, who loves and takes care of his family. He has three sisters, having lost his father when he was a young boy, was brought up by his mom. Both, his mom and him suffered in the early stage to form a respectable life. He studied hard and worked as a part time employee. Married of his 2 sisters respectively. He takes care of his youngest sisters  education expenses.He was the one who helped me in my studies whenever I had problem in my studies. He was the very first person other than my family, I made friendship with.
I still remember the day my uncle took me into his family. Soon after my dad's funeral I was brought to this city as I didn't have anyone left in that small village where I lived. I was thirteen then, everything was new for me, the city life, the people , I was having a hard time to adjust with. I found my studies hard, It was then my uncle asked Aditya to help me out. He was then studying and working as a part timer.
I have known him from then, I liked him for his gentleness, soft nature to go with.
But I have never developed any other feelings for him. As time passed we became good friends. It was him who encouraged me to work as soon i finished my bachelors and helped me to apply for a job in the same company where he worked....Dazzels.

I remembered the day he proposed to me, it wasn't a proposal which you find in a romantic novels. We were in the cafeteria having tea and sandwiches, were discussing about the work. I told him about getting proposals from the marriage broker and following evening I will have boys family visit to see me.. Uncle and aunty were eager to get my marriage done. He seemed upset.

After two days in the same cafeteria of the company while having filter coffee he asked me about the proposal I got. I laughed and told him I had rejected the boy as they demanded dowry. Aditya gave me a happy smile. He said he got to talk with me about something. I waited nodding my head, was looking at him to continue..
'You will marry anyone whom your uncle and aunt fix?' His tone was serious.
'Yes Adi, I Will, you know how much they love me. They looked after me as thier own daughter when they themselves struggling to give thier own children a better life. They never treated me like outsider. I was always indebted to them. I am sure the guy they choose for me will be the best one.'
I placed my cup on the table.
' Eva, if your uncle and aunt chose me, will you agree to thier choice?' He stated slowly pressing each word.
I was shocked, I never expected him to say something like that. I never saw him more than a best friend. I wasn't sure whether he is proposing me or he is just talking to me generally.
He was looking at me studying my face,
'It's ok Eva, you don't have to get tensed up, I can understand. We are best friends, we understand each other, known for years. Whatever your answer be, yes or no , we are still friends. You can take your time and give me an answer.' He gave me a beautiful smile as always.
We left for our work and the following days went smoothly. He never raised the matter again, he was behaving normally as nothing has happend. I kept thinking about him all the time. I realised he is right, he is a caring and loving man, we have a good understanding of each other. May be its not bad idea to become life partner, instead of marrying someone whom I don't know all my life.
After a week, in the same cafeteria I gave him my answer. He seemed happiest person in the world. He couldn't stop smiling ..We both smiled. I felt how my life is so perfect.

Few days later we informed our parents, uncle was very happy. He was proud and told me I made a good choice. They were started planning my wedding immediately. I stopped them saying we can do everything slowly.

After a week Adi and his family gave a visit as planned. His mom and my uncle planned our wedding events. His mom had a demand which I found rather disturbing. But my uncle did not mind at all. She demanded , after wedding my salary should go to her household, as Adi still has his youngest sister to get marry off. Following day I expressed my uneasiness to Adi, as usual he comforted me in his pleasant tone, saying once the wedding takes place he will make his mom understand Everything, I can give my half salary which I wanted to give to my uncle without any issue.
My uncle has a heart problem. A surgery has to be done within a year..and he was very stubborn not to listen to me when I asked him to get the surgery done before my marriage..I wished to help my uncle family by all means. When Adi affirmed me about salary issue I consoled myself as he understands me so well and I had hopes ,he will talk to his mom about it.

"Choti malkin, your dinner is here" my thoughts are interrupted by my maid raji.
" you can keep there on table raji, thank you " I replied.
"Anything else you want choti Malkin " she stood there waiting.
"No nothing raji, you can call it a night. Good night".
"Good night malkin".
She left closing the door behind.
I sighed heavily..
Since there is no one in the mansion I asked her to serve my dinner to my room.
It's stopped raining now. I could see a car from far approaching the mansion through the garden road.
It's Ricky s car, he must have finished partying. I looked at the clock , was showing 11. He is early today! He got out of the car and I see a girl getting out from the left side of the car door. He reached her and pinned her to the car and started kissing her.

Disgusting is all I felt. Everyone knows he is a player, a womanizer but why the hell he has to make it look obvious publicly. He surely has no shame whatsoever.
He now stopped kissing her, hugging her he marched towards the main door.
He knows paapa is not at mansion so he brought a girl to enjoy his night here.

I turned to table where my dinner kept, suddenly I don't feel hungry anymore.
