|. Chap 5 • She is the one

                                                  " If there is someone for me ,

                                                   I am sure that she is the one "

Rohan's pov

We were heading to Gupta uncle's house. I was the one driving. Me , dad and mom in one car. Bhai, Navya and Tara in another car. Tara was adamant to come with me. But Navya handled her in her own ways. 

Of course Moma's ways.

"Rohan you should behave well with them okay". Dad advised me.

"I will dad and I am not a kid". I replied being annoyed.

"Yes Raj. Stop teaching him. He is my son and I know he will do great there". Mom said, patting my shoulders.

"Ya ya only your son". Dad mocked mom.

Mom glared at him and he raised his hands like a scared cat. I smiled seeing their childish fights.

               

                           ...............................

By 3:45 we reached their apartment building. Bhai's car also came after two minutes. Tara ran towards me and I picked her up.

"Chachu , are we going to see Chachi?". Tara asked in excitement. I turned and glared at Navya who smirked at me.

"Yes cutiepie". I pinched her cheeks.

"Yaay, me and chachi will play barbie". Tara said, clapping her little hands while jumping in my arms. I chuckled at her craziness.

"Tara, stop jumping, you will fall down". Navya warned and picked her in her arms.

"Navya I will see you later". I said, giving my best glare.

" What are you saying devar ji ?." Navya asked with her innocent look.

Next year's Oscar should give to her

"Come. Let's go. Mr .Gupta is waiting for us". Dad said from the entrance of the building.

Giving a last look to Navya I started walking to the lift. Their apartment is on the 4th floor. Finally we reached. The apartment number was 302. Dad knocked on the door and we waited . The door was opened and a man of my dad's age greeted us. I smiled at him politely and entered. The apartment was really beautiful and luxurious. It gives a homely feeling also.

" We were waiting for you". Uncle exclaimed and looked towards left

"Geetha they came". He called out and a lady in her 40's came in a saree . 

" She is Geetha. My wife". Uncle introduced. She smiled at us politely sowing namaste. We also smiled and greeted her back.

Then a guy about 21 came and greeted us . He was tall but an inch lower than me. He was good looking at his age. He came towards me.

"Hi I am Nitin". I smiled at him.

"Rohan". We both shared a manly hug.

" Please sit . Then we can talk". Uncle said politely and we sat on respective couches. 

                                         _:_

Dad, Rohan and Gupta uncle started talking about business. Navya , mom and Geetha aunty involved in their female talks. I and Nitin started talking to each other.

"So Nitin, what are you doing?" I asked him.

"I am doing my training in our company itself. Then I will take the managing director's position". He said.

"Hm that's great". 

"Where is Nisha". Dad asked and we all looked at him.

"She didn't come. She is in college. We are really sorry". Mahesh uncle apologized with some hesitation.

"No no it's okay Gupta ji. We can understand". Mom said. Just then the doorbell rang.

" I think di came". Nitin said and he ran towards the door.

My heart was beating fast. Sweat beads started forming on my forehead. Rajiv patted my shoulders. I give him a small smile.

I could hear a light feminine voice from the entrance. Then Nisha came behind Nitin. She was looking damn beautiful in her pink saree. Not only beautiful, but hot and sexy too. The colour suited her a lot.

"Nisha this is Mr. Raj Nanda and his wife Mrs. Rohini Nanda". Gupta uncle introduced Mom and dad. With a smile she went towards them and was about to take blessings. But Mom pulled her and hugged her.

"Daughters should not touch our feet". Mom said warmly and Nisha smiled at her.

"Hi Sir". She greeted dad.

"Oh Nisha, don't be so formal. Just call me uncle okay". Nisha nodded. 

"Chachi you are very pretty". Tara ran towards Nisha and gawked at her. Nisha was shocked and slightly blushed. All others were stunned. Navya was cursing herself. I smirked at her.

Tit for tat.

Nisha smiled and kneeled down.

"Thanks sweety". She pinched her cheeks and straightened up. Navya and bhai smiled at her . She said a small hi to them. Finally she looked at me. And everything around me went blank. Time froze. I automatically stood. She looked at me with wide eyes.

"Hi". She greeted me awkwardly. 

"Hi". I chirped and Bhai pushed me down. I glared at him.

"Nisha go to your room and keep your belongings". Geeta aunty said. Giving a small smile, she went away. Geeta aunty also went after her. Mom, dad, bhai and Navya were smirking at me.

Oh god. I facepalmed myself.

"Rohan, how is your life and work?'' Gupta uncle asked me

Thank god. Main Bacha gaya

"Everything is good uncle". He smiled and nodded.

Then Nisha came with a tray of drinks.

Hm traditional .

First she went to Dad and Mom. Both of them smiled and picked their glass. Then bhai and babhi. And finally she came to me. Her hands were slightly shaking, proving that she is nervous like me. I picked the glass staring at her. I was mentally praying to god, for her to look at me. I don't know whether god heard my prayer, she suddenly looked at me. Her dark orbs were beautiful. Lips were naturally pink. Then she looked down and blushed due to my shameless gaze. I smirked and picked the glass. She placed the tray on the table and stood in a corner.

"Mahesh, I think children will have something. We can give them privacy". Dad suggested to Gupta uncle.

"Yes Raj you are right. Nisha beta take Rohan to your room ". Uncle said to Nisha. Nisha nodded and looked at me. I kept my glass and stood up.

"This way". She said showing the path. 

"After you". I said gently with a smile. She nodded and walked straight.

                                        _:_ 

Nisha's Pov

We both entered my room. I was nervous like hell. This is the first time a man other than dad and Nitin came to my room.

Will he like my room?

I turned and looked at him. He was busy checking out my room.

"Suniye". He looked at me and pointed to himself. I nodded.

"Um, do you want to go to the balcony or like to sit here". I asked him.

"Balcony will be nice". He replied, smilingly. I nodded and opened the balcony door. We both stepped out.

"It's looking beautiful". He said admiring the outside view of my balcony.

"Ya it is". I uttered.

"So Nisha you are a lecture right". He asked, crossing his arms against his chest showing his biceps.

"Yes.. I am ". I replied stuttering.

Nisha what happened to you.

"Nisha relax. I am also nervous like you but please be comfortable ok". I nodded and smiled at him.

"Um, can I ask you something ?". I asked after gaining some courage. 

"Ya of course". He replied.

"Uh, why did you agree to an arranged marriage? I mean you are good looking, educated, rich, and have a reputed job. So you will get any girl right". I finally asked with some hesitation.

He chuckled and brushed his silky strands towards the back.

'Wow'.

Oh shut up Nisha.

"So I am good looking right? " He said with a smirk. I blushed and looked down.

"Nisha, I never thought about marriage, especially now. I was planning to get married after three years. But due to my mom I agreed. She was always behind me in getting married. Finally I decided to give it a chance.

You are right, I can get any girl because I am rich, educated and a reputed doctor. But I never tried because I know once I lose all these possessions, everything she will leave me. They will show they care, but I want a girl who is sincere, honest towards this relationship and who will love me without any flaws. And I know mom will select good for me. And ya that's it" He said.

I was really touched by his words. Should I give this proposal a chance? But he said that he was forced by his mother.

"Nisha, are you okay". he asked by waving his hand in front of my face. 

" Ya I am okay". I replied and he nodded.

"Suniye..." I called him.

"Rohan". He said.

"Huh".

What he is saying ?

"My name is Rohan Nanda. You can call me by name. Not suniye". He said, giving me a teasing smile. I was embarrassed.

"Uh Rohan you can say no to this proposal. I have no problem". I finally said and his eyes widened.

"WHAT". He screamed and looked at me with a frown. 

Why is this guy behaving like this?

"What do you mean by saying no Nisha". He asked.

"Uh you said na you are forced in this proposal. So I don't want to be a burden on you. So you can say no". I said. He looked at me for a second and started laughing.

Is he mad?

"Nisha, you are naive . One thing I understood, you are good at heart otherwise you won't say this for my happiness". He said, staring at me intently. I looked down. A voice startled us and we looked at the door. Nitin was standing there with a smile.

"Uh di . Everyone is calling you". I nodded at him and he left the room.

"Nisha let's go". Rohan said and started walking ahead of me. I went behind him after closing the door.

                                                _:_

Rohan's Pov

The moment I stepped out, I made my decision that I will marry her. Nisha is the one for me and now I am sure about that. She is very beautiful and innocent. A perfect girl. and my perfect life partner too.

We both reached the living room. Everyone was talking and laughing like long lost friends . Tara was playing with Navya's saree. 

"Areey look they came". Dad said. 

"Took a long time huh. Not bad ". Mom teased us. I looked away. Nisha was also standing awkwardly.

"You both sit". Uncle said. I sat beside Nitin. Nisha sat beside Navya babhi and Tara jumped on her lap . Nisha was firstly shocked. Then she made her sit properly and both of them started talking.

God knows what

All were admiring them. 

"Gupta ji and Geeta ji, we liked Nisha a lot and I am really excited to make her our daughter in law." Mom said excitedly.

"Yes Mahesh we liked her". Dad said and turned towards me." Rohan, what is your decision?". 

I looked at Nisha who was already looking at me. She was very nervous. I averted my gaze from her and looked at others.

"Yes dad.I am ready" I replied and all hooted in happiness. 

"Nisha beta what about you". Aunty asked. She shyly nodded. Mom hugged Nisha excitedly.

"Congrats Rohan". Bhai said and I side hugged him. 

" So we will have Roka next week . What say". Mom said. Nisha looked down suddenly. I understood that she was not fine with it.

" Mom, we can discuss this later". I said

" Yes Rohan is correct. Now we are leaving Mahesh. See you soon" Dad said . We all stood up. Navya went to take Tara from Nisha's arms. But she was not leaving her. Shaking my head, I went towards them. 

" Tara baby you don't love your chachu huh" and I started crying . Tara looked at me and leaned towards me.

" Chachu, no cry. I love you". I picked her from Nisha's arms. Our hands slightly brushed. First we both looked each other then looked away.

" Nisha, see you later". Navya hugged her. 

"See you". Nisha said. Navya gave me a look and took Tara with her, leaving me and Nisha alone.

" Um bye Nisha". I said

" Bye". She whispered .

" Rohan ". She called me

Wow, my name sounds so good .

I turned towards her and raised an eyebrow asking what. 

"Thanks for changing that Roka matter". 

"Nisha, no need to say thank you and all. I will not do anything against your comfort zone". She smiled and nodded.

Looking at her one last time , I went outside.

We all reached the parking lot except Nisha and Geetha aunty. After bidding goodbye to each other, We went from there.

                                          _:_

Nisha's Pov

"Nisha beta you are happy right" . Mumma asked me. I smiled at her.

" Of course Mumma. I am happy." I replied, giving a faint smile. 

" Nisha , Rohan is a nice guy and I am glad that you got him". I smiled and went back to my room. 

Finally everything is finished. Now I am going to be someone's wife. I never thought that he would say yes. He is really a nice guy. But I am not good for him. God please help me, I don't know what to do. I can't be selfish due to my reasons. Anyway let's go with the flow.
