After signing the deal, I warmly shake my hand with Mr Greenwood. It was hard to concentrate on the meeting when I know she's sitting in my cabin. I walk through the aisle. Kabir will handle the rest of the things. I need to see her, " Miss Kent, has she had her meal? " I ask her. She tries to stand up but I beckon her to be seated.
" No, Sir. Miss Kashyap wasn't feeling hungry so she declined it. " Miss Kent looks up at me.
I give her a half nod and head at my cabin. I slip open the door and roam my gaze.
Is she sleeping?
I step closer, plucking my treads slowly. The corners of my lips jump up. I place my hand near her head on the couch. I incline over her. Her hair is spread on her shoulders to down on the couch.
I immediately regret those words. She's too vulnerable to tolerate my anger. But I want to make her understand things. but I don’t want her to take them the wrong way. I haven't felt bad before but the water was shining on her eyes. Now walking toward the living hall back, I can't keep the guilt away. Mini looks at me, " Mini, Can you check on Suhana? She's looking disturbed." I ask her. She doesn't say a word and quickly gets on her feet. I've hardly seen such friendship. between girls. But I'm glad she has such lovely friends. She's like no other woman I’ve ever encountered. She's my life. I'll do anything in my power to put my name after her name. It isn't beautiful things that attract me. It's her personality, her one look that explains everything to me, I can proudly say her, a girl with inner beauty. " Sir, files! " Kabir snaps me out of my thought
When I wake up, he isn't in the entire room. I put the step on the mattress and walk across the floor. I knock on the washroom's door. When I don't get any reply, I turn the knob and the washroom is also empty. He's gone. The door creaks open behind me. I turn and look up, " Good morning," Sippy smiles. " Morning, " I smile back. " Get ready. We're leaving in thirty minutes. " She says. I want to forget the last evening. I know Mini wants me to see a happy married girl as my mother wants it. But I don't want it. I've built my life. I fear the marriage will ruin it. I'm not strong enough to bear any heartbreak and my dreams. I've got a career. Marriage will ruin it. Mini swear only when she is too upset. I saw her crying last night. I wanted to reach and hug her. Then she'll demand unnecessary demands.
IDK! Why does It bother me so much? My phone is ringing and my mother has called me four times, otherwise, she never makes me any call. I need a plan, a solid one to get rid of arranged marriage. Arnav can help me with it. If the boy picked by my mother doesn't wanna leave me. I need to muster the courage before talking about it to Arnav. I hope after telling him no he'd agree to help me. If not, then I've other options. But I don't wanna disturb their lives. My phone chimes and I quickly grab it. I'm done earlier than married girls. I love my skin after cleaning up. It's glowing and shining. I glance at the message, ' Talk to your mom. ' - Mini. I click on my mother's number. She answers on the third call, " Hello, " " Why weren't you answering my calls? " She asks. " I wasn't around my phone.
I'm lying on my belly on the mattress and my chin is resting on the pillow. I peer at my phone. He told me that he'd call. But I can't see it happening. It's turning at eleven o'clock, soon going to be midnight. My eyes are getting heavy. There is no sign of his call. I'm spending my time stewing over what Arnav will be doing, What does it take him so much time? He asked me to make a promise to receive his call but he's missing. I'm mulling over to make him call or not! The problem is it's bothering me. He should make a call yet. I'm bothering to yell at him in anger because he's taking too much time to return the words. I'm acting all weird, I finished my dinner early because I don't want to miss his call. It's stupidity. I'm trying to push him away but I'm attracted to him. It's getting stronger. My feelings are growing stronger. It is a matter of
Wow! I hate pink but it's looking so pretty with peach. The blouse felt heavy when I held it after a shower. It's embroidered with silver and pink thread, white, pink and peach stones. The blouse is laying perfectly with my curves. It has broad strips. I can feel the heaviness of my skirt when I hold it in my both hands and lift it slightly up. I'm not used to such dresses. I haven't worn such dresses which show skins. Why did she change my dress? I was glad about that stupid dress. " I'm feeling mostly naked in this dress. " I turn to see my back, " Geez! Almost backless. " I nervously bite my lips. " You're not looking naked in it. It's an Indo-west lehenga. It's showing your waist. That's it. " Sippy says, walking in the room. " You're looking so pretty. " I gaze at her. She's wearing a pink lehenga with heavy work on it. Her jet black long hair is coveri
He looks handsome in a coal-black suit. I don't know, where did this plan stuck in my mind? But I've no option. It'd be better if I tie up in an unwanted marriage then my husband should be such a person who I can trust between the four walls of a room. I never can imagine I can show that trust in a guy from the arranged marriage. I hope Mini will make mom comprehend the situation. My heart is saying she'll agree with it and refuse to that oaf. I'm feeling tired, my body aches for no reason, I want to sleep perhaps it's the effects of my shut off. The tension really sucks all the energy from me. I don't want to drag Arnav in the mess of my life. But my mother and friends didn't leave me any other option. I'll try my best to end it before marriage. I'll be glad if Arnav will end it as I've made words to him, I can't back up now. I know to keep my words. I don't wanna wear wife's title. I'll tell him
My sight gets blurry as tears fill in my eyes, " Is everything alright? '' Arnav asks me as he runs his gaze on all faces and rests on mine. " I'm missing my brother. " I blurt. I don't want my mother and elder brother to reply to him, indeed I want them away from my life. They two and my ex are such people on the earth whom I'll never forgive. I hate them from the core of my heart. " Well! I've got a surprise for you and it's waiting for your attention. " He smiles and gestures at the doorway with his index finger. I follow the direction of his finger. My lips erupt into a huge smile, " Ruu! " I squeal and rush at him. I tightly hug him. Unbelievable, but he returns it. " How are you, Hana? " He smiles as he instantly pulls back. We still use the name for each other. We were addicted to using the names in our childhood days whe
I put the dress in the basket. I lazily walk over the bed and plop on it. I rub my palm on my cheek and close my eyes. Oddly, I'm feeling calm. I hear the door clicking to open and weigh on the mattress. I keep my eyes close. A familiar hand brushes on my forehead. I push myself in a sitting position opening my eyes, " Do you need anything? " I ask my mother. " I know you hate me. Perhaps, it's the last time we are spending time together. " She says. I control myself not to answer, " How was your journey? " I ask what stuck on my mind first. " I enjoyed it, " She smiles. I still love her. After all, she's my mother. But I'll never forgive her and she also knows it very well, " Is something important? " I ask her. " Why don't you
