It's Tuesday, I came to office as usual. After Sunday I didn't saw Chaitra. She was not answering my calls. Yesterday she was in leave. I asked Narmada and she said that Chaitra had some personal work. I hope she will come today. I wanted to go to her flat this morning, but I quite my idea.

I occupied my regular place and glancing at entrance in every 5 seconds. Literally I'm very desperate to meet her. I strongly decided to propose her. 

After few minutes she entered with Narmada. She looks damm gorgeous in that white salwar. I swiftly went towards her with smile. She didn't reply any smile. She seemed different, something worrying her and that's clear in her eyes. I was about to ask her but Rahul appeared in middle.

"Hey.... welcome bride to be", he wished her with wide grin. 

Bride to be? What it means? My heart rate increased. She replied him with small smile.

"Bride to be?" someone asked.

"Yes", Narmada replied and she didn't deny them. Everyone surrounded her with wishes. I took few back steps. She looked at me. I gave a small smile and left the place. 

'What the fuck is that?' I continuously mumbled under my breath while heading to washroom. 'Chaitra's marriage' that's the only thing running in my head. Tears stirred in my eyes. 'Why all this happening to me only? Why my fate is very cruel on me?' 

May be I delayed. 'You idiot she won't be in your life anymore and it's all your fault.' someone taunting in my mind. I won't excuse myself to my last breath.... yes.... I'm the only reason for my situation. 'You will live with that regret.... it's not new for you right?' my heart confronting me. 

I wanted to scream to top of my lungs. I wanted to ask why all this happening? I again wanted to run away from everything. I did that mistake twice in past, but this time I won't do that. I forcefully stopped my tears. I took my time to compose myself and I decide to face it. Whatever the future is, it will end this time and I have  to move on.

I left to my cubicle and emerged to my work. I tried to concentrate and stopped myself from looking at her but I couldn't. Continuously my heart warning that something is wrong and I'm doing something wrong again. I wanted to talk to Chaitra. I don't know why I'm feeling like this. 

She is not at her place. I raised to my feet and cocked my head and searched for her. She was with Narmada and Rahul and drinking coffee. I headed towards her. I don't even know what to talk to her? 

"Chaitra", I called. Meanwhile Narmada completed her cup so she left and Rahul followed her. We got some privacy.

"Congratulations", I faked a smile and forwarded my hand.

"Thank you", she shook my hand with small awkward smile. Something wrong and that's for sure.

"You are getting married and that too very suddenly. You didn't say any word to me."

"Umm.... It's happened hastily"

"Love marriage?" I asked.

"No.... arranged", she replied. She's not happy and it's clear. 

"Do you like that guy?" I asked.

"No", she replied firmly.

"Then why you are marrying him?"

"I have no reason to reject him. My parents liked him and they are very happy about this", she replied with zero emotions.

"What about you?" She is not happy that piercing me.

"May be..... I will be happy... I may like him in future.... Time will change everything."

"Don't you love anyone in these 3 years?"
