I was a little excited when I got her message. I thought she might have sent wishes with the resolutions of hers to me. As soon as I have opened her messages there were no wishes. All she said was, she needed to have a talk with me, as it was urgent.I thought the time has come, and she might be thinking of our relationship and thinking of taking it a little ahead; I called her and greeted her New Year wishes.'Thank you,' she said carelessly.'Is everything okay?' I asked.'Nope, nothing is okay,' she said with a low voice.Listening to her tone, I was worried and asked, 'Why? What happened?''Sahil, we need to talk about our relationship,' she said.'Is everything alright?' I asked her again.'No Sahil, my parents came to know about our relationship, and they have fixed my marriage with one of my relatives, after two days,' she cried.'What? Where are you now?' I asked.'I'm in the washroom,' she cried.'Shh... Stop crying first. Why are you calling me from the washroom? 'I asked.'.. Because everyone out is celebrating my marriage declaration, and I am hiding and calling you,' she said.'How did they come to know?' I questioned.'My mom has seen our picture in my mobile, and she created the mess over here,' she said.I was tensed; I was in the situation of nowhere. I do not know how to react, all my feeling at that time was dead.'Listen, stop crying. I'm there right, everything will be fine, wash your face, go out, and act normal.' I said.I kept thinking about her and couldn't even leave the office this time. I wanted to be with her this moment to make sure that I'm with her.I made a decision, the decision of marrying her the next day. I thought of going to her home and asking her to get her bag packed, and run away from her house, and marry her. I planned everything and thought of calling her a few minutes later to explain the plan.Minutes later, I've been to the washroom, washed my face, and looked at myself in the mirror, and kept thinking, 'What I thought was correct? Should I really do this? What about her family? My family? The trust which I made, the promises that I made with my parents? Am I really ready to do this? What is my status? Will I keep her happy?' many more questions were being raised.
