Our Love

Chapter 4.

"She is going to surprise you today, with the marriage invitation cards, which let me tell you are a week after. They have been preparing for this, so that you don't get stressed, which you already are enough from your work."

Well, could my life laugh at me in any other way?

I was stunned.

"Tell me, Shanaya, can you even think of how would I have felt, when your mother called me to tell that she is surprising the love of MY life, with her marriage invitation card, and I am not the one you are marrying? What do you expect me to do? How much time do you need to figure this all out? Days were converted into months, years. And now all we have is a week! And guess what, your father is coming back this evening, not next Sunday, that's part of your surprise, and I am really sorry to be the barrier."

She wiped her tears and bit her bottom lips, as if doing that was giving her strength for what she was going to do next.

"Listen woman, I love you and I don't want you to choose, so what we have is over."

And my heart broke, that very moment.

NO!

HELL TO THE NO!!

I can't let my soul mate go.

Not for anything in this world.

I grabbed her wrist and forced her to sit down.

I looked into her eyes, went on my knees and said with uttermost truth.

"Listen and listen well, I LOVE YOU AND ONLY YOU, Ahana. YOU are the love of my life, the object of my love, nobody else. Don't leave me, please. I will figure this out and before marriage, I promise. I am not getting married to whosoever he is. I met him only once and that was during engagement. How outdated is that? You know I love you, then, why do you question it? I was going to take you to my parents and would have sorted this shit out, if that marriage shit wouldn't have come into our way. Believe me, baby. I have never and would never lie to you. Seeing you cry, shatters my heart to no extent. Please stop crying and cheer up. We are going to this Ranbir or whosoever, that bastard is, today, no, you know what, let's go, right NOW."

She looked into my eyes, searching, for the truth, I guess.

When she found out, I was being very serious and completely honest.

She became little unsure, but finally gave in.

I smiled to show more of relief than happiness.

I touched her cheeks, which was our thing to show affection, we have for each other.

And after so much melodrama, she smiled, a genuine smile, and I almost instantly relaxed. It was like seeing each other happy, put our soul to an instant relaxed and happy mode, that what was love all about.

I pecked her lips and stood up, while taking my hand out to her, as an offer for her to hold it, but before we could even settle back in comfortably into our bubble, a voice made both of us freeze at our spot.

"Shanaya?"

Well fuck me.
