"shiv, my parents want to meet you"
"Not again sneha" shiv stood up and I grabbed his hand
"Please 🥺.. i convinced them for our marriage."
Shiv looked irritated. The man who was very sweet the other moment is now ragging in irritation and I don't blame him. I still remember his last few meetings with my parents. They showed him all the hatred and treated him so bad.
"I said please" I tried to convince him
He looked at my watery eyes and his expressions immediately cooled down.
"We are just 27, I am not settled in life yet. Don't you know what your mom's first question every time I enter your house ? What job are you doing shiv? And sneha, you know.. I still don't have an answer for that"
he's right. I don't expect more from my parents either. Especially my mom and elder sister, they grill this poor guy with their practical questions.
"I am getting stipend right. You already said earlier that we are still young, you still have enough time to settle in life." I wanted to soothe him a little.
But my words triggered him. I could say that by seeing his arched eyebrows and furious eye balls.
"So .... You want me to convince your parents by saying that we'll be living by spending the money you earn. You want me to depend on you. I will rather leave you than live under you" he stood and left on his scooty even without giving a look at my side.
I sat there looking at the kids playing and wondering if this is gonna work. I remembered the days when me and shiv were kids and playing together in my uncle's house.
Shiv was my uncle's friend's son. My father loved his brother and his children, so every weekend he used to drop me and my sister in my uncle's place, my aunt is so loving. She used to gather all the kids near by and make all of us play so many games. That's how I met shiv and as age grew .. we realised that we became more than friends. It's a completely different story!!!!
Ring...ring...ring.....
"Hello maa" I picked up the phone
"Sneha it's me, naina. Where are you? Mom and dad are waiting for you, to have dinner. Have you checked the time?" It's my elder sister the other side. I know her since I was born. She is very much curious about my life rather than her's. Although she's happily married to the love of her life convincing our parents as the person she loved is richer, well settled, earning loads of cash each month. She's married for an year now and she's already pregnant, came back to maternal house for delivery.
"I am stuck in the project work. I'll start home" I replied and quickly disconnected the call.
I booked an auto and started home.
*Have you reached home?* The screen blinked with a text message.
I know he'd worry. He is caring and sweet. I loved him for the same reason.
*On my way* I texted back.
*Ping me once you reach there. I am really sorry*
*Okay*
I was welcomed by my mom waiting at the gate. She's furious like fire. I could feel her burning temperature from a foot away.
"Why are you late? Are you roaming around with that useless fellow?" My mom snapped as soon as I entered the hall.
"Mom, I am already frustrated enough. Please drop the topic." I tried not to get into fight.
"What else would be there to frustrate.. except arguing with him about settlement in life. See sneha, I am your mom. I know you since childhood, you can't live happily with him. He can't provide you with your needs.. forget about desires .. he can't even buy you little things...................................." My mom continued nagging.
I got straight into my room. Pushed the door as harder as I can, making a crackling sound and locked the door from inside.
*Reached home* I messaged.
*My parents are going out of town day after tomorrow " his message made my spine shiver in anxiety.
I almost can't remember the last time we met in a private.
*What about your younger brother?* I sent biting my tongue under excitement.
*He will stay in his room. He is old enough to understand* his reply popped
*Okay* I blushed pressing the sent button.
Knock... knock...
"Sneha, please open the door" it's naina the other side
I opened the door and she barged in.
"I bought food for you" she kept the plate on my desk and sat on the bed.
"I'll eat. You leave" I turned to her side.
She is checking on my mobile. Trying hard to open the lock pattern that I've changed recently. I changed this patten as many times that I don't really remember the pattern myself sometimes.
"What are you trying to do" I shouted my lungs out.
"A message popped up from the contact Mr X .. I am trying to check if it's that guy" she sounded casual.
"None of your business" I pulled the mobile from her hands.
"I am worried about your future" she tried to sound loving but I don't want to melt for it.
"Worry about your's first. Did you tell mom that your rich husband is drinking alcohol and hitting you?" I tried to give a solid answer.
Her face felt pale. She stood from my bed and started walking slowly by placing her palm over her bulged belly.
"I am worried you'll go through the same in future. Because no love story is full of roses." Her voice is so dull and the last part barely came out of her lips as she got out of my room closing the door behind her.
I know shiv is different. He's the person who showed me what love was, what love is and will show what love would be... I trust him .
