Rithu's POV
It was a day before my engagement, my dad and mom were very busy in making our house to look beautiful and I also helped in the decorations; thank God it's my study holidays so that I can help them. Then I thought that I should buy a new saree since I don't have anything good to wear.
"Mom shall we go for shopping," I suggested.
"I can't come with you dear and you go with Riya, she will help you."
"But mom! Why Riya? Please, mom, you come with me." I pleaded.
"Rithu you know that I am busy then how can I come with you." she convinced me to go with Riya and I don't have any other option.
"Ok, mom I will go with her." I failed to argue.
Riya is my cousin she is very good at picking clothes because she's the fashionista of my family. She always used to tease me that I am an out of fashion girl and acting like a country bumpkin. It's not like I am hating her she is my cute little cousin and she's also very supportive of me and I love her unconditionally except to going shopping with her.
After 30 minutes Riya came home and suddenly opened the door while I am changing clothes.
"You idiot." I roared and without a second delay she replied, "I am not, you're the idiot".
"Why you opened the door while I am changing?" I asked her again.
"Why you didn't lock the door while you're changing bumpkin" she replied again.
I don't know what to say because she is right I forgot to close the door it's not the first time, my mom even came while I am changing and also I shouted at her. Perhaps I think I did a mistake today.
"It's OK I didn't see anything and I am also a girl so don't worry and come faster we have to go right! You know what I am having a lot of work so don't waste my time and come faster baby," she went out ordering me like a queen.
Then after changing my clothes, I put my hair braided. When I came out of my room, Riya was busy eating sweets that were prepared by my grandma for the engagement function.
"Shall we go now," she asked. I said yes, then Riya started her bike I said bye to my mom and dad. Mom gave some extra money to buy whatever I needed; then I sat behind Riya and I told her to drive carefully but she glared at me and signaled me to shut my mouth, then I kept mum until we reach the shop.
She drove me to the famous clothes shop in our city, it was big that contains about three floors only for sarees. I always go to small shops to buy since I hate putting a lot of money on clothes and accessories. But for now, I have to buy something good because my mom wanted me to look beautiful for the engagement.
We entered the shop and Riya went straight to the elevator, and I followed her since she knows every inch of this shop and a regular customer too.
After getting into the elevator, I looked down in a confusion of how I am going to pick a saree. When the elevator door was about to close it was stopped by someone, I lifted my head up and saw a man.
He was tall, wearing a blue shirt and grey pants his eyes were black that looking straight into me, with a sinless manly appearance and good physique he looked devilishly handsome, totally he intoxicated my innocent mind instantly.
Seeing a man like him my heart started to pound and an unknown feeling aroused in my heart, without my realization I was seeing him.
I can't take my eyes off him, then suddenly a thought popped into my mind that I have seen him somewhere but I don't know where it was... However, what that surprised me was he's also staring at me with the same surprise.
He is peering at me as he knows me before, then the guy next to him asked him to enter; he came inside and stood beside to me. I don't know but my heart started to beat even faster. Then Riya closed the elevator door and I didn't turn my gaze on that person's side.
But I discerned that he was still looking at me, I felt uncomfortable with his gawking, god why he's looking at me like this; stupid... I mentally scolded him but nevertheless, I am having a feeling that I have seen him somewhere.
I turned to Riya for help but she was so busy checking her Facebook, god there's no use of having this stupid cousin I thought.
When the elevator door was opened on the third floor I immediately went out without looking at him again.
Then Riya asked me to follow her, we started looking for a good saree and also within our budget. She directed me to try several saree, I am really exhausted after trying so many things then, at last, I selected two sarees a red saree with a broad golden border and a yellow saree with a black designer blouse.
After paying our bill I and Riya went to the parking lot, I was carrying the bag and she was trying to start her bike but there's some problem and it's not starting.
"Hey what happened?" I asked.
"Wait I think there's some problem," she answered and again tried to start.
At that time I felt like someone is watching us, I turned around, but to my shock, there that elevator guy was standing beside the black color Audi car, it looked more magnificent (only the car). His one hand was in the pocket and other on that car.
I was stunned to see him again.
The guy with him in the elevator was also standing beside him and they were talking by looking at me.
I turned immediately, however, I looked at him again with confusion, I have seen him somewhere, and I wanted to know why he is studying me like this. But at the same time, I felt it is wrong to a look man like this because I am going to get engaged. So I turned and I thought he's a perverted idiot.
God, please start this damn bike of Riya I have to get out of here... I prayed.
Then at last her bike has started. I sat behind her, but I have to do something to that idiot so I turned and glowered at him. But that stupid irritated me by smirking, god he's laughing!! What the hell he is. I thought and we left.
During the ride, I was reminiscing about him and questioned where I have seen him but I don't know and I should forget about this confusion.
Riya dropped me in front of my house, "Hey!! Arrive earlier tomorrow and help me," I ordered without looking her.
"Ok, I will be here in the afternoon be prepare for everything baby," she told and left.
I showed the sarees to my mom, she said it's nice and I am relieved that she liked them.
I went into my room and after placing the saree in the cupboard I laid on my bed.
Again I thought who is that guy?? And I have seen him somewhere too. It's kept bothering me.
Then suddenly the newspaper flashed before my eyes and I remembered him, I have seen him in the newspaper in my college library. He's a businessman and his name also Vikram and I am going to marry a guy named Vikram.
But why he acted that way did he know me before? God it's so confusing I thought and this only filled my mind for the whole day.
Rithu's POVThe next morning I woke up at 6.00 am and went to the bathroom and finished my morning chores and then I went to see my mom,she was busy preparing breakfast I kissed my mom on her cheeks then she kissed me back my dad was busy on the phone then I suddenly realized the engagement, I asked my mom who is all going to come today she said Riya's parents and my grandmother(mom's mother) are only coming because dad doesn't want to make the function big and also Rajesh uncle asked my dad to make the engagement simple.I wanted to ask my mom about Vikram or whether she's having any photo of him so that I can clear my confusion but I didn't ask her anyhow I am going to see him after five hours.Then I went to the bathroom and took a shower and I wear sweatpants and a shirt then I put my hair in a big bun. My mom gave me a big glass of milk and I have some cookies because I not hungry and it was too early for breakfast.Then at 11.

Vikram's POVI was busy talking with the contractor on the phone, everyone was preparing for the engagement, Raghav parents were only coming with us cause I want this engagement to be simple and I don't think there's no one more important than my parents and Raghav's family because they are the one who always stood beside me in odd times.The engagement function is in the evening, I was not excited or interested, everything I am doing now is for my parents.

I am still in my study holidays it's been a week since the engagement is over, and there are just two more weeks are there for my wedding in the coming week I am having my written exam so I am studying now.In the evening Riya came home I was wondering why she was here, she was studying for her bachelor's degree and she also very good at her studies and she's two years younger than me."Hey pumpkin what do you doing?" Riya asked."Can't you see I am studying you, idiot?""Ok ok, I am staying here today with you", Riya said.'What! why?" I asked her.Dad and mom are going to a function and they won't be here for a couple of days."Ok but don't disturb me I want to study ok", I said."Hmm sure", she said.Then she went to see my mom, l was wondering what's gonna happen because she always makes things that ruin my day, and also I had several embarrassing situations because of her. So today I have to be very careful.
"I am feeling nervous Riya", I told this for the forty-seventh time. Riya stood up from her seat, "oh god you're saying this from the morning, please give me a break, pumpkin, or I don't know what I will do", she spat."Sorry", I gave an apologetic smile."Don't be afraid, marriage is not a horror movie OK", she said to me, but I'm still nervous my mom and Riya's mom were busy preparing for tomorrow's marriage and I didn't see my dad since morning I think that he's busier.As the time is moving fast I was thinking that what Vikram is doing now whether he is here or in Chennai and I want to call him but I thought he may be busy so I don't want to disturb him.Then at 9.00 pm, my mom wanted me to sleep because I have to get up at 4.00 am. So I went to my room and laid on my bed but my mind didn't respond to me I just stared the darkroom and thought I am gonna miss my parents, my room and everything and slept by thinking all this.I got up when my mom
Vikram's POVTwo days before my wedding I was traveling in the 9.00 am spice jet flight. I was really tired but I don't know why I am overworking myself. But it makes me breathe, it makes my mind fully peaceful but these things are completely opposite For other people who want to enjoy their life, but I have become like this I was making my parents worry about me I may be rude to people around me at many times.My dad came to pick me at the airport he said Raghav was busy with the wedding arrangements, I have to thank Raghav for everything he has done for me."Dad I will drive, you may be tired", I said to him."No problem I can drive", he said but I didn't give up so he threw the car keys and I caught that, then I drove to the house and mom welcomed me and I hugged her I miss her a lot.The following day was busy for me, Raghav and I went shopping and bought some other things that my mom asked for. Then Raghav asked me whether I called Rithu then
Rithu's POVI stood beside the door feeling so nervous to see him removing his shirt and threw that on the nearby couch. I felt so hot inside to see his toned body, he is so perfect.Standing there awkwardly I don't know whether to stare at him or to get out of this room. He is kind of intimidating, and I have never experienced this kind of feeling in my entire life.When he turned his attention to me, I immediately shifted mine. I thought he will talk about something but without saying anything he just laid on the bed. "Turn off the lights," he told before tossing off to sleep. Walking slowly toward the bed I hesitantly searched for the switch. Even I walk like a cat my anklet sound echoed in that room.Like he said I turned off the light and slept on the other side of the bed. I felt somewhat sad to see his dislike about having me beside him. Maybe that's my perspective but one thing I understood that he isn't happy about this marriage,
Rithu's POVHe sat on the couch and asked me to sit beside him, so I did quietly. The room was filled only with an awkward silence and coldness. There's a huge LED TV before us and that reflected me and Vikram. Being in an unusual place with a total stranger made me feel nervous. I have never been away from my family but thinking about that I am going to spend my time with the man who is sitting next to me who I know nothing is kind of exciting too."OK, I want to say this. We're going to stay in separate rooms but you can use my room," he stated.What?? I mentally asked and looked at him.Leaving out a sigh he continued, "I don't have another option I have to say this. I married you because of my parents but I having so many commitments right now and I am not ready for this marriage life to do you understand what I am saying?" he asked me.I nodded I know this it's not a shock to me. I can understand you Mr. rude..."Then I
