Chapter 8

Other's pov:

Anvitha got shock of her life when her maa informed her engagement in 2 days and marraige in 10 days.

She was shocked,nervous,confused and most importantly upset, unsettled.

She was afraid of what future holds for her.

She couldn't believe she is going to leave her family and start a new life with new people.

She had no giddy feeling, happiness and shyness is not at all occurred.

She was blank...neutral...no emotions , no feelings.

Is that how everyone feel when they learn getting married? or am i special case.

She doesn't know anything about him. Likes...dislikes...character..attitude...

behaviour. Heck she hasn't seen his photo up untill now. She is least interested in his looks. She prefer golden heart over handsome hunk.

Sagar was feeling overjoyed. He was irritated by her negligence but thought she has no escape now, has to wake up next to him and sleep in his arms. His heart filled with warmth just by the thought of her beside him.

Next day rolled really fast. Anvitha was taken to spa in spite of her protest. Later they were gone to select engagement dress and ring.

Anvitha selected a simple ring with single sparkling diamond.



She for once felt it would suit her soon to be personality. Just a single blurred glance at him is enough to judge his nature.

She could tell he is sophisticated by the way he sat on the chair like a king sat on throne. He is Classy, rich,posh and not to mention full of himself which she is completely opposite.

Her engagement saree was also simple cream silk saree paired with pink blouse.

She likes to keep everything simple unlike him. Where as he like to keep up to class,trend. He selected the ring personally to claim her his by his choice, which is fancy.



Soon the engagement day rolled over but the anvitha anxiety has not reduced. She doesn't feel happy about changes but she has to go with it. She had not talked to her parents and brother as they were busy with arrangements and preparations. She was left alone to ponder over her marraige. She clearly knows how she suck when it comes to such relationship as she had no boyfriend or boys friend as her brother is overly protective. She scoffed at the thought that her brother had beat the shit out of a guy when he approached to ask for her classnote. Just a classnote nothing else.

Anvitha's pov:

I never thought this day would come to witness my parents flying high as kite just because i am getting married.

Sigh....

This is what i am doing from past 24 hrs. Thinking about what if's and but's.

I haven't met him not even once...heck i don't have any idea how he looks. Looking at my parents happiness all my worries vanish in thin air. I couldn't stop from smiling as i see my parents smile. Here they think i am happy with this marraige.

Sigh...

Oh god!! No more sigh.

I got ready with my pink silk saree and just applied kajal and tainted my lips with pink lip balm. I am all ready physically to get engaged but my heart and brain is crying over and over again. But i am not going to cry anymore. I want to make as memorable moments as possible because i don't know what is stored for me in the future.

There was a knock on the door. I turned my head to look at my family with teary eye. I got panicked.

"Papa...maa..is everything ok? wgat happened? why are you guys crying?" i moved in a blink of eye and examined them. They look good.

"We are fine...More than fine. We are happy to see you ready to take big step in your life. These are happy tears."maa said engulfing me in to hug. I relaxed in her warmth arms instantly. This is what i nedded from two days.

"You guys scared me."i whispered still holding her tight in my embrace.

"Ok, no more crying. Let's go to venue. We are getting late. Hurry up. Kumar did you lock the wardrobe and other rooms. Karan go and get the car." maa ordered and pulled me to the front door. Wait, Why i am not crying? Even i should be crying as i am leaving this house and every my loved ones. I dont know to whom i am getting married. Maa complied me to look at the bio but i didn't even glanced at it. I am not that interested. I don't feel like it. I have never been this bitchy, Why now? Maybe to the fact that i am leaving everyone just because of this someone.

No sigh please..

There is no one in the house. My parents side and my cousin all are waiting in the venue for my arrival. It's quite far from house so they don't want to stuck up in the middle of traffic and miss the ceremony.

Soon we reached the venue with me in my own world and others on their own.

I was welcomed with aarati doing round round making my head spin. When the round-round got finished, i was ushed to go inside the venue with my relatives behind. As soon as i entered the venue my genuine smile kicked out. After 24 long hours i smiled with eyes twinkling. The whole venue was decorated with rose...My favourite and the stage backdrop also decorated with rose flowers. I was beaming with happiness. Every single part is of my type. Simple yet eye-catching with uniqueness.

As i was moving towards the i could feel everyone eyes on me. I moved my eyes to drink my surrounding but met with aunties in pure pattu saree with heavily embeded diamond necklace and beauty queens of my age covered in emblished lehengas not exactly covered fully showing their perfect shiny toned body, uncles with most expensive suit and most expensive watch on their wrist showing off holding drink in their hand. They were cautiously analysing me with their calculative gaze as if i am some show piece. As i look the people here i feel so simple and doesn't belong here. Alas i am showstopper here. I should not loose my self confidence. I held my head high and walked to the stage graciously but was stumbled back.

Don't get me wrong guys, I haven't slipped by my heel as i didn't wear one. Don't over expect that i would wear high heels with sequence all over. I was in to a bone crushing hug by none other than ishu akka. Oh lord i missed her so much after her presence i sensed how much i missed her. I could have shared my inner turmoil with her but i preferred to keep my worry away from her as she is married recently.

"I missed you ishu" i squeesed her in my arms expressing all my worries in just a hug. She understood what i am feeling, she reciprocated with the same bone crushing hug. I was quite relieved that someone is there as like me in these 'oh- so -elite- people' other than my relatives who are relatively close to those high class people.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright."she kissed my cheek and moved aside.

I stood on the stage and gazed at the left side to be met with scowling, scoffing and disappointed faces. All the 'oh-so-elite' people busy gossiping with each other about me.

Like i care....i scoffed mentally.

Where did my manners go? Thanks to those people for bringing out my worst side which i have never thought existed. I felt uncomfortable, uneasy but still i can't run away,can i ?

I turned towards right side of stage to be met with my loved one's, happiness radiating from their face. I smiled at them politely and sat fidgeting with bangles.

Soon my parents rushed to the main door to greet the groom. You guys have got confused how i got to know. Since i have a speaker near me how can't i know anything happening around me. Apparently Niki shouted' Handsome jiju has come' gained everyone attention. Thanks to her sudden shouting everyone eye shifted from me to so called handsome jiju.

I breathed in relief.

The so called to be groom was flooded with the same 'Oh-so-elite ' people greeting him. I couldn't able to get a glimpse of him So i better continue my work.

work finding design in bangle....

You know apparently this bangle is quite unique and has different design which i couldn't understand. So when i have solved every problems in my subject it won't be difficult right. I took up this challenge up on myself to kill the boredom.

I was disturbed from my mission by none other than my maa who apparently left my hands as she learnt her SIL has come. I glated at het for leaving me alone but she pulled me up and straighten my jewellery.

I felt my heart beat go crazy all of sudden. I smell a intoxicating fragrance near me combination of mind and masculine. My heart beat really fast as i felt a presence close to me...too close to me. My soon to be has finally arrived ....oh god i am so happy (note the sarcasm)

I couldn't breath, i am having my asthma attack but as far as i remember i haven't had any coffee.

I closed my eyes and took deep breath and liked my dry lips to compose myself. Lot of action just for one reaction...hmmm pretty bad.

I am nervous as hell. I know i know i am exaggerating but what can i do i am tying to complete stranger.

In my own battle i forgot there are several pairs looking at me scratch killing me and admiring me along with one pair making me all nervous and giddy. I was bought back to current world by my maa nudge.

She mentioned me to hold the garland and put on someone's neck beside me. You guessed right, i clumsily put the garland around his neck with looking at him.

Oh god!!! What is wrong with me? Why can't i look at him? Why am i so nervous to look at him? this is driving me crazy.

I felt my soon to be coming near me and my heart was preparing for a heart attack. He put the garland around my neck lazily taking his own time to kill me with his slowness.

As soon as his hand retrieved i breathed. I shouldn't have analysed his hand but i couldn't stop myself. His hand looked so masculine i could literally see nerves pooping out. He might had hit the gym everyday to get such rough hands.

I was again disturbed by a nudge this time karan stood glaring at me. I returned the favour. Our glaring section was cut short by maa glare. I was back to my fidgeting self. Maa this time took my hand and forwarded and she had a decorated tray with ring at the center. I realised i was supposed to extend my hand.

I felt my soon to be hand hold my hand gently. I looked at our hand which looked beautiful together. He slid ring on my ring finger soon everyone clapped. He didn't leave my hand even after placing ring. I stood there not knowing what to do but a gentle squeeze pulled my eyes from to be hand to his face.

My world stopped.

My breath stuck at my throat.

My eye widen and mouth agape.

I took a step back involuntarily.

How can someone be sinfully handsome????
