Arjun POV

"WHAT!! mom I know you guys were talking about my marriage but all of a sudden, you wanted me to meet some girl".

" Arjun, please listen to me". My mom explained to me everything from their first meeting to now.

" My dad said, " Just meet her once Arjun you can decide after that".

My mom is looking at me with a longing face ok anything for my parents. I said yes to meet her. But I asked 1 week time to think about this matter. My parents agreed that.

.

.

Even in the middle of my hectic work, I was thinking about that girl. What if she is after our money or something. I am getting so many doubts. I decided to do a background check on her.

When I talked about this to dad he said " I have already done that Arjun, there is nothing to worry about".

Okay, let's see

Saturday

I have reached the restaurant and waiting for her.

Let's see how this meeting goes.

Diya pov:

It's Saturday already. To be honest I am a little excited and super nervous about this meeting.

I dressed up and took a cab to reach the place.

I am wearing a pink with orange colour churidar set.

Again a high class looking restaurant.

These kind of places make me anxious.

Entering the restaurant, I asked for Mr Shekhawat they escorted me to his table.

There he was sitting, looking at his phone.

He is even more handsome in real. I have only seen his pictures on media and the news.

He is dressed in a dark grey shirt and white pants.

He is still not noticing my presence, so I cleared my throat. He looked up at me. He asked " Diya " " yes". "Please sit," he said.

The waiter came for orders. I ordered a watermelon juice and he ordered a cappuccino.

I looked here and there, I don't know what to do. he is doing something on his phone.

I am no good at starting a conversation, so I wish he starts speaking.

Our orders are placed. I said a small thank you to the waiter.

" I think you already know me Diya, what do you think about this marriage proposal".

He asked removing his coolers.

Oh dear, his eyes.

"I.....". He started speaking before I could say anything " look I had no plans of getting married, especially right now but my mom is not taking no for an answer. So I said ok to this only for my mother".

Oh, that's some information.

Clearing my throat a little I started speaking " I too had no plans of getting married, but after talking with your mom it sounded ok to me. we can give our best to make this relationship work. Right".

He furrowed his brows and said, " let's see. I have some important work in my office. I already paid the bill. See you Diya".

.

.

All the way home, I was thinking about our conversation. I can tell he is not happy with this marriage.

Will he treat me right??

I really wanted this to work and I hope he puts some effort into our marriage.

That night Arjun mom called, I just said that our meeting went well. She sounded happy.

She started planning all the functions.

I asked her no begged her for a simple wedding because she wanted a grand wedding. But she finally agreed to me, her son also asked for the same.

The engagement will be in 2 weeks and the wedding will be 1-month from that.

I am going to get married...

Waattt...

I started crying for no reason, which happens very often.

That day, I slept dreaming about Arjun and his beautiful eyes.

She looked really pretty also a shy looking girl. I don't know how I am going to deal with her.

Marriage is a big commitment. I don't think I am ready for this.

Let's hope for the best.

Two weeks later

I had a tough time explaining my sudden engagement my friend. After narrating the whole thing he understood.

Nikhil said, " bro I know you are not ready for this and you have zero experience in relationship and all. But try to understand her and put your full effort into this marriage".

" I will Nikhil". He hugged me. Right now we are getting ready for my engagement.

" my bro is getting married". Saying this he started dancing. He is really childish sometimes. Crazy guy

Rolling my eyes at him I adjusted my tie.

I am wearing a Black suit. I personally selected this and I like it.

Our engagement is happening in our house. I asked for a simple wedding and engagement. My parents understood that. Only family members and close friends were invited. Which are around 60 people or something.

My mom went to pick Diya from her house along with her friends.

The fact that Diya has no parents or relatives is really bothering me. How did she do everything by herself? It must have been pretty tough.

I hope I can give her the life she expects.

V

Today is my engagement day. Right now I am sitting in front of my mirror letting the makeup artists do their work.

Mom did everything for me. Even for shopping, she was with me.

Yes, I call her mom because she asked me to do so. I started crying when she said that. She truly behaves and cares for me like my own mother.

I don't know if I will get a loving husband from this marriage but I got amazing parents.

Thank you, God

I asked the artist to do minimum and natural makeup. I have never worn full-face makeup and I don't want to experiment on an important day.

After makeup and hairstyle. I wore a pretty pale green lehenga. Mom helped me to pick this.

( imagine there is only a small gap between her blouse and skirt)

I wore a necklace and earrings and small bangles on my right, watch on my left hand.

She was going to pay for everything but I argued with her and paid with my own money. The legends alone is 30k but thank God I have some good savings amount. So I can spend on my wants.

Mom came to pick me up with her 2 friends. Whom I met earlier during our shopping trips. They are super sweet just like mom.

Looking at me mom said, " Oh look, my daughter looks so beautiful". She hugged me tight and kissed my forehead. Deepa aunty and Meera aunty too commented on my looks.

Of course, I started blushing.

Mom said, " I can't wait to see Arjun's reaction. I bet he is not going to take his eyes off you".

I thought will he... I never had a chance to meet or talk to Arjun again. I was too shy to ask mom his number. At the same time, I don't know how he will react, me talking to him.

Arriving at their house or should I say mansion, because it's that huge. I am gaping at their house.

It is so big and beautiful. Wow

It is also decorated beautifully with flowers and lights. It's 7 PM right now.

There are few people in the room. But it feels like a huge crowd for me. My palms are getting sweaty. Oh

All the way I am looking at the floor.

" Here is your bride Arjun," mom said.

I looked up to meet those beautiful eyes looking at me with neutral expressions.

He is so handsome.

Oh God

I gave him a small smile, he gave me a nod.

Someone cleared their throat. I averted my eyes from him and looked near him a guy was standing.

" Bhabhi, I am Nikhil Arjun's best friend".

Bhabhi... me...

I smiled and said a small hi to him. I don't know what else to say.

He started saying few funny things about Arjun. I laughed a little hearing him. He talks funny.

Looking up to Arjun I see him glaring at his friend. Then they both started whispering to each other.

I think they are pretty close.

Someone said it's time for the ring exchange.

Arjun got his ring from his friend and put it on my finger. The whole time I was looking at our hands. The ring looks so pretty and simple.

When it's my turn, I made him wear the ring. I selected this.

I don't know if he will like this.

Looking up to him, I gave him a blushing smile. He still has this neutral looks on his face.

We took some photos with the guests and everyone congratulated us.

After eating dinner, mom asked him to drop me home. His friend also came with us.

Now we are on the way to my house. Arjun is driving and I am sitting on the passenger seat, with Nikhil Bhai on the back.

The ride was painfully silent. Even Nikhil Bhai didn't talk anything, he was doing something on his phone.

Reaching my house, we all got down from the car. I was going to say bye... suddenly Nikhil Bhai said " Bhabhi Arjun wants your number". I was shocked when I looked at him he was glaring at Nikhil Bhai.

Awkward...

He looked at me and said, " Give me your phone". I took my phone from my purse and gave it to him. There is no lock on my phone so he opened it and saved his number as Arjun.

He also gave a call to his number. " I will save your number. This is my personal number, if there is anything important then call me on this number" he said.

" Okay," I said with a small smile.

I gave a grateful smile to Nikhil Bhai and mentally thanked him.

Look who finally has her fiance's number.

They said their goodbyes and left.

Entering my apartment, I did a little dance. I am an engaged woman.

I changed my dress, did my routine and went to bed.

With a happy heart, I thanked God for everything and went to sleep.

Pardon me for any mistakes.
