"You know I hate you so much.. You really are so annoying.. Look I get it what happened wasn't-" Before she can go on with her rant, I kiss her.. As much as I love her adorable ranting, it only makes me want to kiss her
And gosh did she feel soft...
After Tarun and Raghav left, my mind went completely numb
I sat in my room, not thinking, not moving, just gazing at the ceiling, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world
I think at one point mother came to give me lunch, but if she did, I didn't eat it
Eventually I felt myself being dragged by mom into a shopping mall, to select an engagement dress for me
I was just going through the motions like a zombie.. Not paying attention to anything
"Aishani how is this? Aishu?! AISHANI!" Mom's creaming brought me back into the world
She was holding up a pink floral lehenga

"Yeah its nice..Just buy this one ma" I said and pretended to receive a call from someone
Later we returned home and after sometime I felt a lot of hustling downstairs
"Aishu are you read—" Mother said as she came in her blue saree
"AISHANI! My god..What has happened to you?! We only have 1 hour left to reach the place! And you didn't even wear your dress! God this girl will be the death of me!" She said as she dragged me by the arm and pushed me inside the bathroom along with my dress
"Why do I have to get ready ma? I don't want this wedding! I don't want this engagement! I didn't ask for any of this!" I said but I got no reply
When I came out, Monica was standing next to my dresser holding a make up brush
"Goodness Aishu! You look really pretty in that! But maybe you should put your hair up" She said as she looked at my braided hair
"No Monica.. Honestly I don't care! I feel comfortable like this..let it be like this only" I said and was about to leave but Monica held my hand
"Please at least let me put some eyeliner on you" she said and dragged me to the stool without giving me a chance to reply
"You know Aishani.. You don't always get to chose in your life..But sometimes, the things you don't chose end up being better than the things you would've chosen" She said while putting my eyeliner and went away
I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I had only eyeliner and lip gloss on.. A few curly tendrils had escaped from my braid and were at the side of my face.. I looked at my forehead that in some days would be filled with vermillion
I don't know why, I couldn't help but feel happiness.. Marriage, was something I had always considered to be a blessing, as long as it is with the right person
Maybe this was just.. A blessing in disguise?
I quickly shut the thought and left the room.

Everything went by so quickly in the engagement Hall..That i didn't realise it was already time for Raghav to put a ring on me
He was looking very handsome in his simple white dhoti and blue shirt, but he was having this smile on my face that made me want to claw his eyeballs out
He got me stuck in this situation! Of course he's happy! He got what he wanted!
After the ring exchange, I honestly just wanted to sleep.. When mother wasn't looking I quickly slipped off into a hallway with bedrooms in it..
I felt a strong hand grab me, a rough calloused palm went on my mouth to prevent me from screaming
"What's my wife wife searching for?" Raghav's deep voice that I'd come to love and also hate asked me
"We're not married yet!" I said trying to get away from his hold, but his grip only tightened
"Marriage isn't just tying 3 knots love.. It is when 2 hearts start belonging to each other.. And apparently mine already considers you as its owner" he said with the same silly grin on his face
Heavens knew how much I wanted to say the same thing to him
