Riya pov

Reaching near my building i was read to enter when someone said '' bhabhi''( sister in law).

Stopping in my track i turned around to face the person '' excuse me '' I said '' are you talking to me? ''. I asked the boy.. Frowning at him. He must around the agae of 15 or 16.

The boy in front of me smiled '' yes Bhabhi I am Ragav bro friend '' The minute word Ragav came from his mouth suddenly fear ran through me.

Taking a deep breath I try to calm myself down..

'' first thing I am not your bhabhi, so stop calling me that and second i don't want to talk to you''. Saying this i quickly walked to my apartment.

Entering in I was glad that Maa had already slept due to medicine.

I was not hungry so I just took shower got in to my nightwear and laid in bed knowing that sleep was not going to come. It always happens when I overthink which I do very often.

My thoughts again drift to..

Ragav that one person had add another trouble to my already hard life.

Ragav is a leader in our area, Maa had taken some loan from his mother for my college fees against our apartment that we lived. It was now a mortgage with him.

I still remember very clearly the that dearth day when first time I met him... How my skin had crawled when his eyes roamed on my body. Like a hungry wolf..

He had came to my house 7 months ago to remind my Maa about the loan and increasing interest on It, at that time he saw me he was staring at me whole time, that i felt uncomfortable, Maa also noticed my discomfort t and told me to go inside which I quickly did, that day I came to know about the loan which Maa had hidden from me.

I cried a lot because that wa ls the only thing i could do, but then promise myself that i will repay all the loan and take the house back from Mr Ragav sharma.

After that day he started visiting our house for no reason. some days i saw him standing near my building or follow me on weekends when I went for groceries shopping or hospital with ma,

After one month suddenly his friends and boys in my area even older then me started calling me bhabhi.

Initially i ignored but then one day i asked a boy '' di Ragav bro told us to call you bhabhi '' he said '' why '' i asked him '' He said that he is soon going to marry you'' I had never been so angry at anyone in my life but Ragav had cross his limits.

When I asked him he just simply said '' you are going to be mine'' and smirk at me. He said it with so determination that.. It made me believe that he will have me, even if i agree or not.

A month ago even his mom had came to our house bringing along the marriage proposal.

But i had denied it straight Away. To that his mom got very angry and said '' you should be happy to have a marriage proposal like this, there are thousands of beautiful and rich girls waiting to marry my Ragav. But he wants to marry your granddaughter only''

She got up and was ready to live but the words she said before living still sends chills to me and Maa '' if you're Riya don't marry Ragav I'll make sure that she will remain unmarried for her whole life''

Since then ma's health have been decreasing day by day. I know she is worried for me and i have reassure her not to worry. i will think about the proposal in positive way but i need time.

But how much i tried i can't agree to the proposal i know soon or later i have to take decision about it for ma's sake.

I laid in bed crying silently, praying to god to give me strength.
