Do like the chapter❤️

I was sitting in front of the mirror and saw my reflection. I was wearing a light pink shade colour lehenga with work of pearls all over with a pair of pearl earings and my hairs were let loose just after tugging them from one side. I don't know how but I was looking different with all those makeover and changed hairstyle.For the first time i had a makeover although it was just a light one but it was complimenting my skin .

All the arrangements including the decorations and shopping including my dress, engagement ring all were done by Neha di . She arrived the next day as soon as she heard about the engagement news.

I was in my room and she hugged me tightly as soon as she arrived. I cried my heart out finally she is the one who understands me . I was able to lighten my head after talking to her.

She told me she had talked to ma papa but she consoles me it's for my own good as the family is really nice. She , Manik jiju ( brother in law ) along with my parents went to their home and she liked them alot. I know that if she had any doubt or any wrong intuitions she would have said no . She told me when i was crying she really felt bad but she felt relieved after meeting the family. I was listening to her but my heart was not at peace . There was no escape from this marriage now . It will happen any how and i wil not be able to have any say in it . My heart was feeling heavy and i didn't know when tears started falling down my eyes. I was never like that before i hardly ever used to cry. But thinking about this all crap my heart was paining.

After this di was busy with the engagement preparation as hardly two days were left .

I asked my parents the least they could do is to keep it as secretive as possible excluding my friends and far relatives out of this .

"You look beautiful my baby doll" My sister said bringing me out of my thoughts

"Thanks di. You too are looking gorgeous as always " she was wearing a touquoise saree.

"But not more than you afterall it's your day my little sister."

I smiled at her.

"When did my baby sister grew up. I still feel you used to go to school holding my hands. Coming to me crying like a baby whenever someone bullies you. And now see you are getting engaged. You are soon going to enter into a new phase of life."

"Di don't make me cry and don't cry yourself too. You'll ruin your make-over"

She hugged me tightly.

"Now let's go downstairs the guest have arrived." She said

The engagement was taking place in a nearby place with only few closed relatives .

I went with my sister downstairs to the hall. I felt all the eyes glued at me making me more nervous.

" My daughter is looking so beautiful " ma said with teary eyes.

I just nodded and smiled at her .

Then my sister took me towards the stage and as I was walking I felt a pair of intoxicating eyes glued at me.

and I raised my head and my eyes made a direct contact with the deep greyish black pair of eyes and I felt a tingling sensation going through all my nerves.

Those orbs i have seen somewhere but was not able to recognise them.

It felt like everyone arround me has disappeared and i have to just covere the distance and be next to him with him.

His eyes were like like a drug.

But the way he was looking i was not able to break the eye contact and i was so immeresed in staring him that i didn't felt that i have already covered the distance upto the stage and there he was standing ready to take my hand in his.

SO he was my would be husband and till now I didn't even knew his name .

For a few seconds i totaly forgot that he was the reason of all my miseries since few days, that he was the reason that my parents forced me for this bullshit marriage.

But he was looking intoxicating in his blue tux.

Stop being a pervert Sona. Remember you can't do that.

But what the hell is happening to me. Is he some kind of magnet that it's not been few minutes and I'm getting attracted towards him.

Then he took me towards the stage and then towards the chaise lounge and made me sit there. He made himself sit beside me.

But still he was not letting go of my hand and I tried to takeoff my hand from his hold but he gripped it more tightly and with the touch of his fingers again a shiver ran down my spine.

I glared at him and he smirked back at me.

"So let's start the engagement ceremony of Sona and Anirudh everyone." Nehu di spoke.

Everyone clapped.

Then all the rituals started.

At last Nehu di brought the rings, the main part of any engagement ceremony.

He took the ring from the box and brought forward towards me waiting for me to forward my hand. For a minute i thought of running way from all this. But where will i run neither was i financially independent nor i had any place to run away .

"Sona your hand " Neha di said and i was brought back to reality.

I gave my hand and he put on the ring . Now it was my turn but my hands were shivering i was not able to move. He has brought his hand forward waiting for me to put on the ring.

"Sona"my papa said guesturing me to put on the ring and but my hands felt like they were freezed.

He was looking at me so deeply again that i forgot all the surrounding and can only see him. It felt like he is piercing into my soul with those stares . Then he took my hand a slipped the ring in his finger.

With this i was engaged to a random person. I didn't even knew his name, what he works or about his family where do they live i know nothing and even my family didn't bothered to tell me. I know that i was least interested to know either.

I only knew that he was the son of my mother's friend. That's it.

I was at revolt with my family but their was hardly things that i could do . I was thinking all these things with faking smiles that i have to give in order to give the photographer's the clicks.

In between my thoughts were broken when i heard his voice

Again he took my hand in his.

And gain I started to free my hand slowly aware that all people are watching us.

But his grip again got tightened.

And I knew it my all the efforts are in vain.

"Not like I'm going to let go of this hand any soon.," I gasped at his statement.

"By the way Looking beautiful wifey "he said with a smirk which I don't know was what for.

"Not yet."And his hold tightened.

"In few days for surely."

And for a minute i was not able to breathe properly. Why is he having such an intimating effect on me his gazes his voice such thing has never happened to me before.

Because you never bothered to talk to strangers and boys would be the last my brain mocked.

He was still looking at me so i just simply smiled nervously. Why am I behaving like this I have never been dumb like this. Reply something you idiot Sona. I scolded myself.

He was about to say something but I'm glad that my mother came in between along with my father

Beta she is your "mother in law Avni, you have met her that day in the wedding function" and he is your "father in law Avinash ji ".

Take their blessings

I bowed to take their blessings.

"Beta you are really beautiful, we are so lucky to have you for our son. I always wanted a daughter and I'm glad that finally my wish is coming true and today i finally got a daughter like you" his mother said.

"Finally Anirudh will be on track Avni" his father said to her mother in a realxed tone.

So his name is Anirudh. And what do they mean by he'll be in track.

"Beta we are really happy that now he finally has said yes for marriage, we were so much worried about his future.

"He was always bussy with his work and meetings. Now that you will come he will give time to his family."

"Oh i totally forgot Anirudh beta come here" He got up from his place and his mother handed him over a box.

"Make her wear this beta. This chain was gifted to me by my mother in law as a token of love when she met me for the first time and to her by her mother in law . And I'm giving it to you on formation of this mother-daughter bond between us."

Then he told me to turn around and made me wear it. With his touch again i felt a shiver as his fingers touched my neck.

His parents smiled at us. I too returned the smiled.

" And one more thing Ani has also brought a gift for you"

"Ani beta" she directed to give me the box.

He then opened the box and it had a beautiful choker. I'm not much fond of jewelleries but I would love to have such a piece.

"It's beautiful" I said .

"Not more than you" he said near my ear.

Diverting my mind from him I thanked his parents.

"Thankyou uncleji auntyji."

"They both looked at me like I don't know what i have done or they have seen some ghost."

Then her mother said" you should start calling us mom dad now onwards. Now you are our daughter."

His dad nodded and smiled.

"In one months wedding will be held we have asked Panditji other date is almost after 1 year." He said to my father who was now standing next to him.

"Therefore we decided to have the wedding in one month."

My parents just nodded at the statement without saying anything. It was unbelievable.

Another shock to my system. The fact that i was engaged was difficult so difficult for me to digest and another bomb was thrown at me that I'll be married within amonth. I was on the edge of crying but i had to control myself until i was all alone because no one can understand the trauma i was going through.

After this photgrpher asked us to come close for some clicks. At this time i noticed he has a really nice height and we had a much difference between our heights as i was only able to reach above his shoulders because of my heels. I looked like a tiny frame in his grip while giving different angles for the photoshoot. After this some family photos were taken and all the family members joined us .

Then we bid farewell to them as as Soon all the rituals and other things were over we also headed towards home. My home just for a month now. I directly went to my room without talking to anyone i was so exhausted to think of anything. Just staring at the diamond ring on my finger i drifted to my sleep.
