It has been an hour and I felt thirsty but there was no water in the room so I went to the kitchen to drink water.

I was drinking water when I heard Manik coming downstairs. It seemed that he was talking to someone. I didn't want to invade his privacy. So I hid behind something.

" No!! I had not slept... Don't worry, you didn't disturb me. And even if I had slept, I would have woken up to talk to the most important person in my life...... I love you too. Just wait for a minute, I want to eat the Mohan thaal Maharaj Ji had prepared. It was awesome, it reminds me of you. Soft and sweet. " He was saying and looking for his Mohan thaal.

I started feeling very bad all of a sudden. He was talking so sweetly, was he talking to his girlfriend??

Of course, yes!!

I didn't want to hear more but could not leave like this as he was standing here in the dining room. So I kept standing where I was.

I was not feeling very sleepy thinking about what would have happened if I had not found Roshni today, they spiked her cold drink. Anything could have happened.

I wanted to distract my mind and I thought of eating something. I was sure that there must be a lot of things available in the kitchen or dining room. So I was thinking of going to get something to eat.

Just then the phone rang and I smiled to see the most important woman in my life was calling me.

My mom!!

She had called me when I was eating food and Roshni was sitting near me. My mom asked me about my girlfriend once again. But I didn't want to talk about all that in front of her.

I knew how persuasive my mom could be. So I told her that I was eating food. But now, I had no option as I knew she is going to raise the issue once again.

" Hey, mom!! "

" I hope it is not too late for you. You had not slept, had you??" Mom asked hesitantly.

" No!! I had not slept."

" Are you sure? You have been working so hard, I don't want to disturb your sleep. " She said while I went downstairs to get something to eat.

" Don't worry, you didn't disturb me. And even if I had slept, I would have woken up to talk to the most important person in my life. " I said.

" Awww... You know how to flatter your mom. I love you. " She said.

" I love you too. Just wait for a minute, I want to eat the Mohan thaal Maharaj Ji had prepared. It was awesome, it reminds me of you. Soft and sweet. " I said and she giggled.

" Awww... I am missing you. " She said.

" Here it is, I swear, I am in love with this... Ummmm!! " Finally, I found it, took a bite and moaned.

" Manik!! I need to talk to you about something and I know that you are avoiding it. I want to know about the girl in your life. "

" No!! Why don't you understand? It is too early." I argued.

" No, It's not !! You need to get married in one year, I hope you remember that. What is the problem?? Tell me the name of the girl, Mehul and Megha would talk to her parents. " She said.

" No, our relationship just started, we haven't even dated properly. " I said.

" Yeah, but we have just one year... I am not going to listen to anything tell me the name of the girl or I will ask Mihir. He knows about the girl already and he would not be able to say no to me, you know that. We are going to talk to her parents this week." Mom said.

" Please, Don't do it!! We need to spend some more time getting to know each other. Marriage is a very big decision. We can't involve everyone at this stage." I pleaded my case.

" Why ?? " She asked.

What if she thinks that she doesn't want to be in a long-distance relationship?? What if it doesn't work out?? What if... We are not meant for each other? " I asked though I felt bad in saying it.

" Don't talk rubbish!! What could get wrong?? She loves you too, right?? Then why would it won't work? " mom said.

" Anything can happen...What if, she meets someone and falls in love with him?? What if I meet someone and I like her?? Try and understand, this decision can't be rushed."

" So, what is the solution according to you? " She asked.

" We need more time to see if we really want to spend our lives with each other or not. I don't want to be rushed into it, this decision needs to be taken carefully. We want to be sure of our feelings first before involving our families. " I said.

" And how may I know, you are going to do that? You just said that you haven't even dated properly, so when are you going to date her while you are staying in Surat and she is here in Delhi?? Tell me how are you going to decide whether you are meant for each other or not? "

" I don't know... But it is not just my decision, it is her life too, I can't force her by letting you tell her parents. It would create many problems. Let her decide if she wants me in her life or not. "

" What about you?? Are you sure about your feelings? " Mom asked.

" I think so... I like her a lot. I just hope this long-distance relationship doesn't spoil our very new relationship. " I said.

" Ok, fine... I would give you a time of about fifteen days, you both try to sort out your feelings as soon as possible or we would have to interfere. Your dad is saying that if you are not sure about this girl, we can find some nice girl for you to get married to. Both your dad and Chachu are very serious about it. So do something. "

" Mom!! Listen to me!! You got to understand me. "

" You got to understand us too, beta. Take a decision in 15 days or we will do what we decided. If you need to date her, go to Delhi or meet somewhere midway. Just don't waste time. It is passing away. "

" Yeah ok!! But don't do anything dramatic without asking me. " I said.

" Ok, bye, good night, take care. " She said.

" Good night, mom," I said and disconnected the call. I drank a glass of water and started going upstairs. Just when I reached the top of the stairs, I realised that I forgot my phone on the table.

So I rushed downstairs and was shocked to see Roshni standing in front of the refrigerator.

What was she doing there??

When did she come downstairs??

Oh my god!! So he was not talking to his girlfriend but to his mom.

I don't know why but I felt good from within...

He was not sure of his relationship with her??

Really?

He said that any one of them might get to meet someone else and ...

Was he talking about... ?

Shit!! What was happening to me? Why was I thinking like that?

He disconnected the call, had some water and went upstairs. It was the perfect time for me to go to my room too.

I didn't want him to know by any chance that I was right here when he was talking on the phone and I heard the whole conversation.

So when he reached almost the top stair, I came out of my temporary hideout and started walking and just then he turned all of a sudden and started coming downstairs and saw me. I didn't get any time to move or hide. He had already seen me he looked shocked.

I was so scared that he might get angry with me that I could not react and was grounded to the floor.

He came to stand right in front of me. And I could not even blink.

Shit!!
