Chapter 11

Shruti's Pov

Today I woke up early in the morning as yesterday I had slept at 9 pm. Immediately after waking up I checked my phone, I mean most of us do that right? So when I switched on my phone I received a notification telling me that I had missed a call from Jake, and when I turned the net on I received Jake's message, "Shruti I am soo sorry. Actually when you was not speaking with me, I thought of giving you some space, that is why I told Anu to give you a call when we reached home. Afterwards I took a nap and so I didn't see your message and calls. I am sooo sorry...." "Good night". I felt guilty, even I had made a mistake but it was Jake who apologised, so I decided to message him as I am not sure whether he is awake or not to make a call. So I messaged him, " Good Morning... Yesterday I felt guilty for disturbing you, you were already tired as you had come to pick me up and then again you had to accompany us for our shopping. So when I so you sleeping in the car, I felt it responsible for dragging you there when you had to take rest. And that is why I didn't talk to you, I just wanted to end the shopping and allow you to take rest. I am so sorry for that, I know I was an idiot for not talking to you and making you worry about me. I am soooo sorry, please forgive me." As soon as I sent the message it was seen by him and after 2 min I got a call from Jake.

I picked up the call and I was greeted a good morning. "Good morning, and I am so sorry, Yesterday when I saw you being tired and sleeping I felt that I am responsible for it. So I felt guilty that is why I couldn't talk to you. I am sorry for making you angry... But still you could have at least messaged me telling that you had reached home right, why should you ask Anu to inform me? " and he asked, "Have you finished your ranting, Shruti It is true that I was so tired yesterday, but I had no other choice because everyone were busy and no one was free to accompany you all to the designer studio. But when I was asked to drive to your home, actually I was happy. Though I had to sacrifice my sleep, I could see you, and that made me happy. So when I met you I really was happy. I am happy to spend time with you and to accompany you wherever you go, that is why I didn't allow you to go alone anywhere. I have already accepted you as my life partner, its just that we have still got time to get married. For me you are my life partner, my better half with whom I would like to spent rest of my life with. So never think that you are responsible for my tiredness. And yesterday when I saw your silence I decided to give you some space and that is why I asked Anu to message you, and then I slept and when I woke up I was busy with the preparations so I couldn't take a look at your calls. "

I was really happy to hear that he had already started to consider me as his life partner, and also he have started to give me his time. So when he told me his point of view, I felt so relief, so I said a final sorry for making him worried. But he just declined it telling it was okay. Then I told him, "Jake even in the future we will fight, argue but still we have to finish our fights that day itself okay? We should not sleep without settling the disputes between us. Because yesterday I was so sad. Promise me that we will always try to solve the problem the day itself. " Jake said," Shruti I promise you that in the future when we fight and argue, we will always settle our disputes that day itself we wont drag it for days. But I want you to tell me your worries, I mean you were unnecessarily overthinking and being responsible for my tiredness when you were not the reason. So whenever you feel something like that you have to tell me that ok? And also never skip your meal. I know that you were sad but who told you to skip your meal. Yesterday when I came to know that you had skipped your meal I felt so bad." I asked, "How did you know that?" He told, "When I heard that your phone is switched off, I felt that so unusual of you, because you never used to switch off your phone. So I called Alayna, and it was she who gave me your details." So I told him, "Actually when you didn't pick up my call, I thought you were ignoring me, so I felt sad, so I didn't feel like to eat anything. I am sorry and yes I promise you that I will always tell you about my worries, but I can't help with my habit of not eating any food if I am sad or worried, so I can't promise you that. " " He told, "Its okay from now onwards remind me to keep a tab on your meals." Then we talked for some more minutes about random things and I felt so happy. My morning was so blessed. I felt happy. Then we ended the call, and I got freshen up and I went downstairs to meet my parents as my friends and Ed were still sleeping.

Mamma and Pappa was busy in some conversations, I greeted them a Good morning and then Pappa asked whether I want tea and when I told yes he made me a cup. Then Pappa and Mamma told that I should get ready by afternoon as we had to leave our house by 4 pm. First we were going to Jake's home and then from there we would be going to the resort with Jake's family. It seems that they are some rituals which should be performed at his home. The Zara di called me and we talked for hours. I actually missed her a lot. I wanted her to be with me, but fate didn't give her a chance. But I am happy that our wedding will be decided only according to her availability. Then I got a call from Jerom bhai telling me that the photographers would be arriving by 2:30 pm. He also send me the live link. Mummy wanted this function to be grant as we would be conducting our wedding only after a year. So we thought of capturing all the special moments. So we decided to go for live streaming as even Zara di could see the whole ceremony. Till now I haven't told my school friends about marriage fixation. I have just told to my school bestie Shifa about it. So after a long time I decided to send them a message. I send the live link to my 10th school group. And also updated my status. I started to get so many replies for it so I just put my net off. I don't know what will be their reaction especially the reaction of my friends whom I used to call as my brothers.
