Long chapter ahead ::
Rajawat household: ~
J : Papa, ap nhin kr sakte, what about my future, my dreams my career? Are they nothing to you? You can't fix my marriage with someone who I don't even know. You can't! You simply can't....
J/p : mujhe tumse sikhna nhin hai mujhe kya karna chahiye or kya nhin!
J: mujhe us admi se shaadi nhin krni, I hate him, we haven't even met, god knows what type of a pain in the ass he's gonna b-----
Before she could finish her sentence she felt a hard stinging pain on her right cheek....
J: apne mujhe thappad mara? Wo bhi us ladke ke liye??? How could you dad?? Woh apke liye mujhse jyada pyaara hai?? I hate you dad! I hate you....
Saying that she ran upstairs heading towards her room...
Jyoti :
I know I have anger issues and the main reason is my existence. I just simply hate the fact that I am a girl. Why can't a girl chase behind her dreams? Why can't a girl be treated equally with boys in the society.
I threw myself on my bed curling up
my body, since I felt week and disowned. Really my dad, the person who never failed to be my hero, the person who comforted me in every situation, the person who loved me more than his life, he SLAPPED ME? ME? HOW COULD HE? THAT TOO FOR THAT SHITTY MAN WHO I DON'T EVEN KNOW..
I sat right up and hugged my knees crying silently, as I felt sad.
I want to work as a teacher , I want to identify myself as a successful woman. Then why? Why is it that it's always happening with me?? I really can't figure out why my dad wants me to get married just for the sake of his damn company! All I desire in life is to become independent and not depend on any rich man for money!
I took out my phone to message my darling something.
Yeah it was Pihu, my comfort zone, she's been my home since the day we met in high school and now we're in the same college. She's the one whom I can share my thoughts and problems with.She's never made me feel alone. She's a literal angel sent by God to me.At least I shouldn't hide anything from her..
I texted her that I won't go coming to college tomorrow due to some important work. At last I layed on the bed lost in my thoughts when I unknowingly drifted into a deep sleep.
I woke up next morning and went down after finishing my daily routine only to find my dad intensely gazing at me with his puppy eyes. It seemed as if though he realized that I wasn't the one at fault. I stepped into the kitchen, to look for a coffee since I felt tired , when I heard my father's voice
" AJ SHAAM KO READY RAHNA, TUMHARE SAATH USKA DATE FIX KIYA HAI"
that's when a jar breaking noise broke the silence. I had dropped the jar in fear of meeting him, who knew he wouldn't leave me like others did? What if he feels ashamed to have a wife like me, what if he ends up forcing me? No!
Aj jo bhi ho jaye mein usse bat krke hi rhunga I thought and I went up upstairs with my coffee.
Mom wasn't home because she had gone to visit her friend's house, at least if she would have been here, she would have consoled me.
I was frustrated, yeah frustrated like hell. I always insecure if my looks and then who knows the man who I'm getting married to won't criticize me for my looks??
I looked at the time when I saw it was already afternoon. I again fell asleep cuz that's what I do whenever I feel sad Or disheartened..
Time skip :
I woke up with a sudden sharp pain in my head only to see that the clock was ticking 5:57
Oh my god I'm late I thought and I rushed towards my closet picking up my pink patiala suit, my granny's last gift on my 18th bday...
I didn't want to but I decided to clear off everything before marriage. It was a blind date, we've never seen each other. My father had always been interested in showing his picture to me, but I didn't care. Finally the day comes....
We were supposed to meet at a nearby cafe and I pulled the google bar to search for the location. I drove on my own and finally came across the place. When I reached, I felt mesmerized by the beauty of the cafe.
I couldn't help noticing the pretty fairylights that were used in the decorations. Exactly my favourite!
I entered inside the cafe , and sat down on a seat, when I noticed that the cafe was totally empty!
Such an amazing cafe, with such little customers, more like an empty jar! How sad!!
I looked at the reception, when I heard a car's horn and a man coming out of the car.
My black doe eyes, met the heavenly gaze of his hazel green eyes, which seemed to look bold, bold enough to attract even a man!
Oh jyoti, wtf are you thinking , I mentally slapped myself for having such wild thoughts, but I can't help it!
Damn, damn, he's the type of fictional man Pihu wants, freaking gorgeous, omggggg.....
He sat down in front of the seat, and gave his sunshine smile, to me when I noticed he had dimples, omg, why the fvck is he so adorable??!! My wild thoughts, Sh!t...
N: good evening, Miss Jyoti Rajawat! You look pretty today!
J: NAMASTE MR SINGHANIA,
but excuse me! How come you know that I am only Jyoti??
N: I have booked the whole damn cafe for this date! Who'd even come here, except you? Besides i've seen you various times in pictures. You look prettier in real life!
He couldn't help smiling when he noticed the sudden red tint flourishing on her cheeks.
Btw, I'm Nakul. Nakul Singhania the CEO of Singhania enterprises and the official heir of the company.
N : nice to meet you Miss Rajawat, anyways what today's date is about our marriage, right??
J: yeah, but i would like to tell you a few things first...
I pulled out an enormous file from my bag and handed that to him
N : what's this?? I can't get it!!
J: exactly, I'll get straight to the point, it's our marriage contract. Our families didn't make one, so I thought of making one myself.
N: I... I don't get it? What do you mean by contract??
He said with a meek voice staring deep into her eyes, with a look of confusion...
J : I don't know why our parents arranged a date for us, but the only thing I would like to tell you is
"That you're well aware, we're getting married just for the sake of our companies, right? Once everything is fine and our companies have good relationship, we'll end the contract right then. As for now, the time span is six months. And also for your knowledge I don't want to break your heart, but it's better you accept the fact neither can I ever be yours, or can you ever be mine. I hope I haven't disheartened you"
Nakul :
I obviously knew that we were getting married just for the sake of our companies, but why'd she do that? I had so many hopes of building a strong family, and is this how, our relationship will begin?
I felt a pang in my heart, listening to each and every word she said. I didn't want this. I really didn't!
The moment I entered the cafe, seeing her heavenly gorgeous figure I melted. I melted. But I hadn't expected this. If she didn't want to waste her time on a man like me, why didn't she call of this marriage, now that everything is fixed, is trying to break the glass once again??
I was at a loss of words and I couldn't speak further...
Had destiny written this for us??
J : uhm, Mr Singhania, it's just you seem sad! Do you want to know why I made the contract??
N : I didn't answer, and chose the hear her words. Her melodious voice which had attracted me since a long time.
J: well,
Hum aurat hai... Iss society me mard se kam jagah hai humari. Isliye maine ye decide kiya, kyunki is shaadi ke jeevan me uljhe rehkar, main apni sapno ko pura nhin kar paungi..
And all I want to do know is to focus my dreams and career. Upar se mere papa ne bina mujhe puche ye rishta pakka kar liya, I don't want to heart you, but mujhe kabhi relationship me ani ki jaroorat nhin hai, mein akela hi khudke liye kaafi hu"
N : I didn't want to but I carefully heard each and every word she said. She left me broken. I felt ashamed of being a man, really she was actually correct, women in today's society are not treated equally as men, but I wouldn't treat my lady like that, never. I'd never!
J: anyways, now that I have told you about my problem, I feel relieved. Btw would you mind describing me?
I said being a bit anxious of myself, my looks and also my words. At some point of time, I didn't feel good too, but I had to do it, if not for myself, but for him, cuz I didn't want to break someone's heart....
N: yeah why not??
"Talking about you, you're the sweetest little person I have ever met and that's the reason you deserve the same love and care. Though I have never met you in any way, but still i'd love to make you my wife.
Bas ek bar boldo,
"tumse mujhe pyaar hai"
and see what I can do,even if it means burning the whole world for you, i'd happily do that Just give me a chance"
J : when he finished his speech I couldn't help feeling butterflies in my stomach!! After such a long period of time, I received such heartwarming words, that too from a stranger whom I barely know....
N : toh aj ke liye itna hi sahi?? I will take my leave and hope I wouldn't disappoint you in this marriage, btw, you're free to work after marriage, I don't want to stop you from doing anything....
He said as he took towards the outside of the cafe before once again with a smile, but this time with a smile which seemed hide a lot of pain in his eyes...
J : thank you Mr Singhania, I'm honoured!!
