New chapter of life

" I love you.....Hansi..." He said looking into my eyes.

My eyes shedding tears with happiness and I smiled at him ...

" I love you..... too... Rosh..." I hugged him tightly.....I was overwhelmed with my happiness when we confess our love for each other.

We stayed like that forgetting about our surroundings. For a few minutes, I realized with the sound of thunder. I quickly moved away from him and turned to the other side. I felt so shy about the kiss we shared earlier.

" Hasi...." he called my name.

My heart was beating fast with his husky voice. Then he kept his hand on my shoulder from behind and whirled towards him. He lifted my face with his forefinger and he looked into my eyes with so much love. Immediately I closed my face with my palms hiding my shyness.

He smiled at my action and hugged me tightly. The next minute, he made me shock by carrying me in his arms in bridal style and walked into the paddy field. I tightened my grip placing my hands around his neck for the support.

"You are weight is very less just like a feather" he commented looking at me.

" what? " I exclaimed.

" yes, you are very lightweight" he teased.

" No, I am 50 kg. You know?" I pouted.

" Really" Rosh raised his eyebrows.

When we reach near to his house. I pleaded with him to put me down.

" Okay, then one kiss" Rosh demanded.

"No..." I rejected. But his grip on me was strong.

" Please..." I requested.

" Okay, promise that you will kiss before you are going to sleep," Rosh asked me.

" Okay..." I obeyed.

He kept me down and went in another direction so that no one can suspect us.

I entered the room and took a fresh pair of dresses to change.

" Where did you went with my brother?" I heard pragathi asking me a question.

" What are you talking about?" I asked her.

" oh my God! What an innocent face you are keeping!" She asked.

" You think, you can hide secret from me. Today you both caught red-handed while my brother carrying you in his arms" she teased me.

" that..." I stammered.

" What happened sister? Why are you teasing your sister-in-law" he questioned looking at me

I glanced at them with shock.

" So you confessed your love to my friend?" Pragathi asked her brother, Rosh.

" yes, your plan worked sister. Thank you so much" he hugged pragathi.

" what plan?" I yelled.

" That... I lied about my brother's engagement to know your feelings. As I thought you were disturbed and left the house. So that...

" she said with a mischievous smile.

" So tell me how my brother proposed you," she asked with curiosity.

How could I explain her...

" That question you better ask your brother not me. I have to change my dress" I escaped from her. It was so embarrassing.

When I was walking towards the restroom, he quickly followed me and asked " do you need any help?" with a smirk.

" Get lost...no need of your help" I ran into the restroom and shut the door.

.....

After that, he started staring and following me like a shadow. I enjoyed all his deeds. After dinner, we played antakasari with all relatives for some time then everyone retired to their places as their relatives' houses were adjacent. When I was going to the room, suddenly he dragged me into one corner of the house and demanded the promised kiss.

I was so scared that someone will catch us but this shameless has no fear.

" someone will see. Please let me go" I pleaded with him.

" A promise is a promise. No cheating" he kept a dull face.

" Please...." I asked again.

" Okay, I will take to one place where no one can see us" he closed my mouth with his hands and asked me to follow him.

After ten to fifteen minutes' walk, he took me to nearby paddy fields and the water in the lake was shining brightly with the moonlight.

It was the first time to see such beautiful scenery with my eyes.

" How is this place?" He asked me.

"The most beautiful scene which I didn't see till now" I answered excitedly.

"Really...." He smiled

" So ....can I take what is mine?" He asked with enthusiasm.

I nodded my head with shyness. He pulled me closer by my waist. He leaned closer and rubbed his thumbs softly on my lips.

" These are tempting me so badly" he whispered near to my lips and kissed passionately till they become swollen.

I closed my eyes and fisted his shirt to control my moan.

He left me when I was panting lack of oxygen.

" I don't know how can I stay away from you from now onwards," he said which made me realized that he will join again in his duty.

" I can't live without you" I cried hugging him.

" Don't cry. You should feel proud that I am serving our country. I want my girl to be strong. " he said.

" Your smile is my strength. So from now don't cry" he suggested.

" Okay, I promise..." I hugged him.

We stayed in that place for nearly two hours then returned home without making noise. When we were going into our respective rooms suddenly uncle called both of us.

" From where are you coming ?" Uncle questioned us seriously.

" That..... I wanted to talk to her. So...." He tried to explain but uncle cut off his words.

" I am asking you...." Uncle asked looking at me.

My body started shivering and my palms become sweaty. I bent my head down with embarrassment.

" Don't you know it is not good to go along with any guy late at night? If anything happens to you here? What should I answer to your parents?" Uncle questioned me again.

" He is a good person and I trust me more than myself. " I answered lowering my head.

" So... You trust my son more than yourself?" Uncle asked me and started smiling.

I was startled to see his reaction from a serious face to a smiling face. I looked at uncle quizzically.

" Okay now, go to your room and sleep. I need to talk to my son " he said while holding Rosh's ear and squeezed playfully.

" We have relatives in our house and you don't even bother about it. You idiot..." Uncle scolded with fake anger.

" Sorry, dad... I will take care next time when we go together" he replied boldly.

" smart boy... Go and sleep. We have to wake early in the morning for your sister's marriage" uncle left from that place.

I started walking towards his sister's room to sleep then he caught my hand and pulled towards his hard chest. Then he removed strands on my face and kissed my cheeks.

" Good night Hasi...." He wished me and left from that place.

I could not sleep the whole night because all the incidents were running through my mind.

I was tossing and turning on the bed.

....

" Thinking of my brother. .... Whole night?" Pragathi asked me.

"Nothing like that. We have to get ready fast for your marriage rituals or else you will be late" I diverted the topic.

.....

All marriage rituals are completed with everyone's blessings. Finally, my best friend married. And I was so happy to see her start a new journey in her life. Pragathi left for her in-law's house and almost all relatives left on the same day. So I helped aunty in the other arrangement of post-marriage rituals.

After two days, I booked my ticket to return to Delhi. But I was feeling scared thinking about my parents, how they will react if they come to know about our love matter. When I was packaging my luggage, my uncle came to me and asked why my face is pale. Then I told about my parents and my family situation.

" I and aunty will come to your house to ask your hand for my son, Roshan. Don't worry." Uncle assured me.

" But I don't send you alone on the train. Tomorrow you and Roshan will go together. I consider you the same as my Pragati " uncle said.

As per my uncle's wish, Roshan and I started in Delhi the next day. It was one of the best memories of my life. In the entire journey, he didn't leave even one second. I was happy to get his love but happiness stayed for some time. After he dropped me at the hostel, he joined in his training camp.

Days passed like that...

After I finished my exams, I returned to my home. My parents started searching groom for me whereas I was so tensed about revealing our love matter to my parents. I informed my uncle over the phone as I don't want to disturb Roshan when he is at work.

After two days, uncle and aunty came to my house to talk about me and Roshan. But my parents didn't agree on marriage with Roshan. My parents thought it would be a risk to my future if I marry Roshan as his job has no life security.

Roshan's mother was hurt by my parent's words. They walked out of my house with the insult. I stopped them and informed my parents that I will feel proud to be the wife of an army person who fought for our country by making their lives at risk. I stepped out of my house with Roshan's parents. My mom tried to stop me by convincing me to change my mind but I decided to leave my house. I started staying at Roshan's house with his parents. Aunty used to speak with me when it is necessary, unlike uncle. From that day, my uncle used to treat me as his daughter, not as a daughter-in-law.

After one month, uncle and aunt arranged marriage for us to avoid unnecessary gossip in their neighborhood. Roshan took one week's leave for our marriage. Roshan invited my parents to our wedding but they didn't attend. But on our wedding day, my mother cursed me over the phone that I never stay happy with him as I spoilt their family reputation in society.

I cried very badly listening to her words. Then Roshan consoled me that my parents will talk with me normally after they understanding our love. We did our wedding in a very simple way in the temple. Only a few people were invited as all arranged suddenly. Finally, I become Mrs. Hansanthi Roshan.
