Arranged Marriage ✓

Chapter - Seven.

[Nishita]

A month flew by, after Mishti’s naming ceremony. To my surprise, the Ravals shifted from their house to the building in our building’s left. Of course, my parents helped them shifting and they had dinner with us.

This Mrs. Raval is bit silent.

Is it just me, or has every single person really changed every single thing about them?

Maybe, I too have changed. Maybe not, I know, I have changed. I have changed my mind, thoughts about people. I’ve just... I don’t know...
