The Journey from Ms. Sharma to Mrs. Who [✓]

Chapter 15-Edited

Chinmayi's POV:

What is the answer to life?

Who defines beauty?

What is the concept of God?

Should I become an agnostic?

Am I a part of someone's dream?

Or am I dreaming?

Chinnu... Too many questions...

Choice is given to everyone who is a part of this ecosystem. But, what did I miss out in life?

Where did I go wrong?

What was the slip to this dark hole sans answers?

Stop with the questions Chinmayi.

Wow. But, now, real deep questions...

The questions thinned the space in my mind and this made mee claustrophobic.

Isn't honour exercising the freedom of choice?

Was I incapable of all that?

"Chinnu?"

I turned to have a glance of that person who brought me back from drowning in my own chaotic waves of thoughts.

I wasn't really surprised to see Megha, with puzzled eyes pointing in sadness and despair. That is us, I'm in pain, she decrypts even the silence..
That's our telepathy. That is our friendship. That is our love towards each other.

"You okay?", she whispered to make sure that no one's heard her. She plastered a smile on her face to make the conversation look normal and no one other than her understands the real inner situation.

She's the first human I really saw after my clouded string of events. I took a glance around to see what the tailored situation was.

The elders of the family were sitting and discussing things. There was laughter, real vibes of happiness, drops of tears, and smiles resonating everywhere.

I saw Akhila distribute sweets to everyone, while Veera, Eeshwar, Bhai, Bhabhi and Anirudh make a small inner circle, and lost in their deep conversation. I however couldn't find Charan and Ma.

On a second glance, I saw him taking Ma to a room. I was about to follow them, but another voice brought me back to the same spot I was glued for past I don't know how long am I standing in that spot.

"Chinnu, you still didn't answer my question."

"Huh?!"

"Chinmayi Sharma, I have known you for an authenticated amount of time now, and we've done enough crimes to know what every cell and cell components do even without speaking, so, cut the crap and tell me!"

Megha never really gets angry. But if she does, then something is really wrong. Oh right, something is wrong! I am going to get married to a guy whose face is unknown to me. And, my parents did not even think, for a microsecond to turn and ask me if I am okay with the concept of getting married right now.

I am 22 and I have not even established myself to be an independent girl, forget about evolving into a woman and getting married. Also, after seeing two brilliant couples, now three including Veera and Eeshwar ji, experienced the journey of love wandering and seeking them, jinxing with its beautiful feeling.

Then why was the needle of reality pricking me?

"Chinnu, please tell something, you haven't spoken at all. Joshi aunty is looking towards you every once in a while. You haven't gone and spoken to them. You are just standing here and staring at your feet.
