Whether you realize it or not but there are certain things which you definitely want in life but are too afraid to say it out loud...

Naina's POV

To say I was upset was an understatement. I was beyond confused and don't have any idea what I should do with this envelope, whether to open it or not.

After much contemplation and fighting the war I was in with myself, I finally gave in and decided to open the envelope and to have a look at my so-called soon to be husband.

There was obviously one photograph of Kabir. Honestly, something happened to me the moment I laid my eyes on him and genuinely my whole world stopped right there as I was momentarily mesmerized by his eyes (That is the first thing I notice in a man!). And Yes, I had to give it to him, he looked handsome. His eyes were the most amazing part of his face. Nothing unusual and I couldn't even perceive the color of his eyes yet something was there in his eyes which you cannot figure out unless and until you are staring into those eyes in person. I begin to notice the details and my eyes fell on his lips...His lips oh my God were looking so soft and I had that sudden urge of tasting them.

I was myself surprised by my own thought process! "Well done Naina, by just looking at his photograph you are drooling all over him! Imagine what would happen if you meet him in person!" I mused but I had to admit that he is handsome but something which is not making sense to me is why he wants to marry me and why he does not have any girlfriend. Is he forced in this marriage too?

I was starting to assume things which I don't even know whether they existed or not. But I have never shared any kind of relationship in my life and was always alone. So, for me it is one of the most difficult decisions of my life as I have never been involved in any sort of relationships and suddenly if you were asked to marry an unknown guy how would you feel and after seeing my parents marriage it is really difficult to believe in arrange marriage and also from the last two days Kabir has not tried to contact me (I don't know why but from the past 2 days this thought has been nudging me every now and then!)

I sighed and decided to sleep as it was already past twelve knowing I have to get up early in the morning. I couldn't sleep properly though. That whole night only one person was there in my mind and definitely you know who I am talking about! Only satisfaction was that at least Kiara is coming from her vacation today and I cannot be happy more.

After all, I have to tell her soo much and obviously seek her advice. She is a total expert in all these things. Actually, she is committed to Vedh who happens to be my only male friend! And he is too cute and is madly in love with Kiara. Sometimes I envy her. She is just too perfect! Sad huh. But this is what I am like reserved and shy.

I woke up early in the morning and checked my phone and notice that Brown envelope that my mom gave to me. And there was a strange feeling I couldn't help but feel it in the pit of my stomach!

I took a quick shower and dressed up in a black color kurta with a blue color jean. Blow drying my wet hair I went downstairs and helped my mother who was by the way too happy to see me all dressed up in the kitchen. Even though it was Saturday and I didn't have to go to the office yet I was feeling all restless.

"I take it you have seen Kabir's photograph?" My mom chirped happily and I instead of answering her question took a moment to notice her the dark circles under her eyes, she too washed her hair and were tied in a messy bun. She wore a teal color printed saree. She looked old I suddenly realize, I felt bad for the kind of life she has lived so far and couldn't help but feel sorry for her and for the bond we share. It could have been better, it could have been so much more if only... I stopped myself from thinking any further and looked at my mother who was looking at me expectantly. Before I could say anything to her, dad called us.

Around nine o clock, we all four gathered to have breakfast and I was deliberately avoiding my brother he deserved it. Maybe I am over reacting but he knows he is the only one whom I think is worthy of my trust and he crushed it and now he is gonna pay for it!!

"Sis I am sorry. I was so busy with my work that it slipped from my mind yaar. Please forgive me and Naina you are overreacting, in fact, you should be happy that I know about him and also I know that he is worthy of your trust. You know I don't trust anybody so easily. Just give it a thought, he is everything that you may have desired or wanted in a partner. Trust me Munchkin. Give it a try" my brother said firstly in a pleading manner and then in almost in an authoritative manner which for some reason made me laugh.

I was laughing like I am gonna die and was holding my stomach.

"What is wrong Naina? This isn't funny ok! I am damn serious. So now stop being a baby!" My brother said frustratingly.

This only increased my laughter and my eyes were full of tears.


"Seriously Bhai, every one of you just want to control my fucking life in your own suitable ways and ironically it does not even matter to anybody of you what I want in my life!
Today you want me to get married and after getting married then force me to have children so that my dear parents can see the face of their grandchildren!" I was beyond angry so I continued thinking this is the right moment to let out everything which I am trying to hold back.

"And you know what Bhai what hurts me the most is you are also with them this time. You were always my support and escape whenever this marriage crap comes. But today everything is just going according to you people. One more thing yes I liked Kabir's photo but again nobody even tried to know my opinion. This time you all succeeded in your planning so congratulations!!! Mom, I am going outside and thank you for this wonderful morning and this wonderful breakfast." I said harshly and left without even looking back for once......

So difficult to understand this kind of situation and what do you think Naina is gonna do? Is she gonna escape or she will face all this?
