My life is very simple; yeah being in a typical orthodox Christian Indian Tamil family it's very simple. Your fate is destined by your family the day your mom finds out she's pregnant with you. Everything is arranged, starting from your name, schooling, dressing, friends, and mainly your life partner. You don't need to ask, cause before you think of what you want your parents will be ready with the registrations of what you are gonna be given. Ha haa!! Sarcasm but bitter one. simple my ass.. huhhh!!
Currently I'm 23 well not married but engaged. Yeah I saw him Jude Antony, two months before our engagement in my little cousin's Holy Communion function. That's when I came to know we both are sailing the same boat. I'm an assistant professor well that's the field I was given. And he too, both of our parents are lectures and teachers well most of my aunt and uncles too. So it's not different.
He's doing his PhD in Physics nerd, the subject I never wanna know in my life. I'm a literature graduate doing my PhD and working as a asst.professor.
we are engaged now!! forced by my parents.., same to him he says he has no other choice.
"We never know what life is gonna be until you step out of the home". Yeah somehow we convinced our parents that we are gonna live together. At first they started to give a seminar, lectures and even presentations on our culture the family meeting was never ending... but later Jude Alan Antony my Fiancé convinced my grandpa, my instructor on how to live bla.. bla.. jude succeeded. Grandpa is convinced. hurray!!
And talking about us, at first we both were like, "shit, really! Even my life partner is decided" in this modern world, but later we understood each other after some 8 meet ups. We came to a conclusion that nothing can change our parents mind and their rooted traditions and cultures. So, we started to act like we like each other, damn he's really annoying. But caring.
It's been 3 months now, we don't feel the love but we are getting along very well. One good thing about him is He cooks very delicious foods. I never liked to eat much but his cooking changed it. He checks on me and my current being, helps me in my research works and so on..,
Now, we are in Italy, Greece. I got my fellowship and they're sponsoring me to visit the places that I'm researching. Perks of having professor parents. Can you believe it ?! My fiancé literally booked famous hotel no it's a penthouse and we are in 70th floor. And the view is so damn cool!
I'm looking at the sunset while chilling in the pool. Damn! This the luckiest and happiest moment of my entire life.
One month! Jude says,
what? I questioned.
Our stay here, and then we are moving to Rome, he stated
Really! then I'm gonna live carefree and do anything I want.
Same here don't bother me I'm gonna live like, fuck! Who are you?" too dramatic
Ohh..Well man I don't even know you exist. playful smirk.
He laughed and hit me with a pillow which was lying on the sofa.. ouch didn't hurt. mockingly
Im gonna shower and go out, wanna join, smirks like a pervert but utterly failed.
Nahh.. in your dreams not so bothered
It's been a week and we explored lots of places, churches, museums, art gallery's and our parents were checking upon us telling us to not hurry. Sleep separately. Duhh as if im gonna give him a chance. We both are comfortable together but never once felt intimated. We swim together I saw his abs, he's well-built not too packed and not too boney perfect that every girl dreams of, and we've seen each other naked by accident. But never had the urge to be intimated or kiss and those tingling's. Jude is my good soul that I can rely on, the same goes with him. But thinking of us as a married couple or lovers we suck. Cringes
And we never really quarreled but today we did. Because his mom knows that we are acting. And I confronted her. I know he loves his mom, me too but today she and me , we both crossed the line. So, he left the apartment. It's been one hour since he left.
I called him, busy. Angry Jude is scary.
So, I saw my luxurious apartment. Always alone. Me and my lonelyself. So I left to get something. I never drink nor tasted liquors. Not that I hate, but something in me tells me not to do.
I go for beverages. I reached to a nearby restaurant it's past midnight I know I shouldn't roam but who's gonna ask. It's just a night.
As I was peacefully drinking my Choco shake, I started to get creeps. Like someone watching me. So, not gonna be expressive I casually turned around and scanned the place. 4 to 6 peoples on the road were walking towards the beach. In the restaurant the workers were serving, people are talking and having beer. Well, lot of women are here so I'm fine. But still, I'm feeling the creep. Is it because I'm outside, sitting alone for the first time in the middle of the night. As the flow of thoughts hitting in my head. My eyes caught a figure opposite to the cafe i am in, sitting in a small bar hotel. He's wearing a bag cap dressed in black clothes. Face, not so clear. Rings in his veiny fingers, damn Jude never had those hands. Shit! Am I checking him? I turned around.
Unknown pov:
Finally, alone time, ordered and waiting for my drinks. I saw a girl, a beautiful figure. She's looks adorable and notorious. I can see it from here. What is she doing alone? By her behavior, it's easily portrayed that this is her first time strolling alone. I saw her checking around. While I was checking her, her eyes met mine. She was neither stunned nor shocked. Did she notice me checking her? She got shy, fuck did I made her shy. What is she thinking? And I saw her picking her phone from her pouch. She's annoyed. Her lips said, "fine I'm coming". I wanna touch those lips. looks soft and pink. How delicious will it be? Damn am I hitting on her!!
As she left her eyes met mine. Fuck I want her. Just one look she made my heart go crazy. Should I follow her? While I was debating my phone rings i cut the call and lifts my head to the place she was sitting empty. i walked out and scanned the area. no where seen. she disappeared in the streets.
After 2 weeks
It's been 2 weeks I couldn't find who she is, where she is, fuck! I should have followed her that night. Am I being obsessed? What if I am? If I see her again I'm not gonna leave her. Never thought my vacation is gonna be hunting a girl. A girl, who made me crazy, evilly smirks.
