Expectation Of Love

RoshniI was very happy yesterday, when I was told by mum, I would be getting married soon, because unlike many girls I knew, I liked the idea of arranged marriages because I believed it rarely fails. I believed in the concept of arrange marriages and was more than willing to give it a trial and make it work. The origin of my belief was my parents. They are a proof to that. Mom told me some years back, she and dad were arranged to get married without them even getting to know each other or having the chance to see each other. They only got to see each other on the day of their wedding. They fell in love instantly. It was love at first sight for them. After the marriage, they slowly began to get to know each other better and fell deeply in love. What a wonderful and perfect love story! I wish my own story will be just like that of my parents. I like the idea of arranged marriages and when mom told me about it, I happily accepted. They didn't fail to notice how delighted I was by the n

RajveerI woke up early the next day with the aim to let mum know that I had finally agreed to the decision she made for me. She would be happy and that was all I wanted.I knocked twice on the door to the guest room where she slept yesterday."The door is not locked." came her reply.I stepped into the room and went closer to her bed and sat on the edge of it."What are you doing here so early in the morning?" she asked me looking everywhere but my direction.Here it comes."Good morning mom. I came to talk to you about the marriage—" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because i was interrupted by mum. "I'm not in the mood to talk about that right now." she said dismissively. "Just listen to what I have to say, please." I almost begged."I don't want to hear any of it," she said adamantly."Just listen, okay?" I tried to persuade her to listen to what I had to say."Don't get me angry now Raj," she warned."I promise I won't," I promised."What do you have to say about the marria

Rajveer After the engagement, we went back home and I went straight to my bedroom and lay down on my bed thinking about everything that happened earlier.I shouldn't have told Roshni all those, but she deserves to know. I shouldn't be feeling guilty, it's for her own good. I hope she cancels this marriage, I really hope she does. I haven't even got the chance to get into a serious relationship and here I am now, engaged to a girl who I don't even know a thing about. This is so perfect!I really hoped she'd decide not to get married anymore, the wedding was in three weeks. She was the only one who could save two lives from being ruined now."Raj," I heard Sam calling as she barged into my room without knocking on the door. I remained silent. I was sure she only came to provoke me more by talking about the engagement and how much she hated my so-called fiancée."I don't like that girl at all, she's so ugly." As I expected, Sam started complaining about how plain she was."Girl? Whic

RajveerWe finally arrived home to celebration still going on at our own home. I was very exhausted and decided to just go up to my room and sleep. I didn't have the energy to participate in any more wedding rituals."You two must be tired, go to your room and rest. Show Roshni to your room." mum appeared from nowhere and said."Goodnight Mum" I said and started walking towards my room."Goodnight." I heard Roshni said as she trailed behind me.I opened the door to my room and was surprised to see the decorations that were made in my room. The bed was also decorated with flowers. "Come in" I beckoned to Roshni, who was still standing outside the room like a lost puppy. "You can sleep on the bed, I will take the cushion." I took a pillow from the bed.As I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but think about the events of the day. It had been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, from nonchalance to nervousness to exhaustion."I'm sorry." she suddenly apologized, making me open my eyes. I won

RoshniI took a look at the time – it was 2:37pm. I was still bored and decided to call my friend, Vid. I missed her so much as well and all I wanted was to just call her and tell her everything that was troubling me, but I knew better than to do that, I didn't want her to worry about me. I dialed her number two times but she didn't pick up. I guessed she was not close to her phone. I was very bored and there was nothing fun I could do. Nobody to talk to at all, but I was wrong when someone knocked at my door twice before coming in. Raj's mom"Mom." I called and beckoned her in smiling. She came in and sat on the couch. I was nervous to speak to her because I wasn't used to her and I know for a fact that she's stern. I had not done anything wrong to her, so she had no reason to be strict with me, but come to think of it, I didn't do anything to Sam as well and she hated me already. I wouldn't be surprise if Raj's mum would also follow her children's lead. "How are you doing dear?" Sh
