Hey Aditi!

chapter 2

Aditi's POV
It has been five years since I last saw him. Five years since I stupidly broke my heart by loving him. Five years since he broke my heart.
But now it doesn't matter anymore. He is out in NY living his posh life. Am in India working as a website designer in an MNC.
It's been two years since I started my job, and now my parents are finding a groom for me. Indian parents you know.
I never thought I would settle for an arranged marriage. I always thought marriage means a special bond between you and you loved one. It cannot be just with anyone. With any stranger. But after him, I cannot even think of coming in a relationship with anyone, without the fear of rejection.
So I gave the duty of finding me a groom to my mom dad. They did find me a groom too. We are at the talking stage. Getting to know each other and then will decide if we want to marry or not.
Aashim Ghosh. Yup, he is also a Bengal just like me. He is a sweet guy. Always taking care of my needs. Does a decent job. What more do I need in my life?
I know what my answer is to this marriage. Although Aashim did ask me about my choice, I told him to wait. Today, I asked my parents to invite them over.
"Aditi, Holo tor? They will be here at any moment." My mom said
(Aditi, you ready?)
"Yes maa. I am done." I said going beside in the kitchen.
My mom looked at me lovingly and said, " May God save you from every evil beti."
"Sughandha, Aditi, they are here. Ghosh family is here." My father yelled from the living room.
"coming" I replied.
I and mom went to the living room with trays filled with snacks.
"Come sit beti. Side beside me." Aashim's mom Anuradha said.
"Yes aunty," I said and sat beside her.
" So kids what's the topic of this sudden meeting?" asked Aashim's dad.
" Dad we decided our answers to this marriage. From my side, it's yes. I can't get much more perfect girl than Aditi " Aashim said
" That's a great news son." My dad exclaimed.
"From my side also it's yes," I said smiling.
"Perfect. Now, Mr Ganguly, we are samdhans." Aashim's dad said ecstatically.
(Samdhans means in-laws)
Rest of the evening we all talked and planned about the wedding. It will take place after 4 months because of my and Aashim's job schedule.
After dinner, the Ghosh family went back to their house.
while I and mom were in the kitchen doing dishes mom asked me, " Are you happy beta?"
"Yes, mom I am very happy," I said smiling at her.
"Durga Durga, I just want that the wedding goes without any interruption." My mom prayed.
( Durga is a Hindu goddess. She is termed as the symbol of strength and women empowerment)
"I wish so too maa I wish so too," I mumbled
But little did I know that a hurricane from my last has already landed in India ready to destroy all my plans of future.
