Infinitely Infinite

Chapter 1

Heera's phone beeped on receiving a text, when she was driving back home in her car, the car that her father had gifted months ago. She took her phone to check the message, when she had to stop before crossing the traffic signal.

Dude, I am at your home. Come soon!              

This was the message and it was from none other than Shriya, her bestest friend since her childhood. Being a best friend, she does her duty of teasing and taunting Heera. Besides, she is over protective and super possessive when it comes to Heera! They can be the example of perfect friends as portrayed by great authors in their greater books. To be more specific,  Shriya is Heera's maternal cousin, who happens to be her best friend too. And here, when it is said as best friends, they really are despite the blood relation. As soon as Heera noticed the text, her face lit up all of a sudden realizing Shriya's presence at her home. This kindled her happiness to the highest extent. Because, the day was special as she had earned her first month salary, being a psychiatrist, being a doctor; which had been her passion since she was a baby girl! She is a pretty girl that every man would dream of. She was of average height, had normal brown, round, fat eyes, curly, bouncy hair. Those eyes aren't made up of muscles and nerves instead it is of magnet that would attract anyone who looks into her oculus. And on that day, She was coming back home with lots and lots of glory and Sweet boxes. Coming to her family, her dad is a rich businessman and his wife as well as her mother is a home maker. She is the one and only daughter of that commercial businessman. She was close to her parents like they were her best friends next to Shriya; but they were strict when it came to a serious thing. Despite having rich parents and enough money, Heera had always wanted to become a Shrink, a well renowned Shrink. And that's why, with all her inner courage and animating force she managed to pass out her bachelor's degree in medicine and she did her psychiatry, and started working in a private hospital. Being too determined by heart, she wanted a hospital to be built with her earnings; so, she passed up when her father offered her the money for her to set up a hospital.

Once she entered the gate of her dwelling, she was distracted when she realized a new person was at home by seeing an extra car that stood at the front gate of the extravagant, giant gate. All the oddity made her to stride fast towards the door and soon she happened to ding the calling bell.

'There is something, waiting for you inside! ' Shriya whispered to Heera, as she opened the door to enter the living room with her bag and the sweet box in her hands.

Before she could open her mouth about her happy earning to her parents, her eyes caught up with an old woman, in her mid-fifties; wearing a silk cotton saree, sitting on the lounge. She didn't know how to react on seeing a previously unseen aunty, sitting in the middle of her house. Soon, she gestured Shriya to ask what was happening there, before she entered the house. But then, before Shriya could clear her doubt, Heera's dad started speaking to that woman, 'This is our daughter, Heera. She is a psychiatrist, working in an esoteric hospital, she wants to set up her own hospital with her gain, so we allowed her when she wanted to work in a private concern.' She kinda felt proud when her father spoke highly about her determination, but soon she came back to earth by the thoughts that kept her mind preoccupied.

Soon, that woman gestured Heera to sit beside her. She did so, with Shriya on the opposite couch. And then she started, " So, Heera. I am Shanthi. My husband, Mr. Shankar, the CEO of S&S group of companies popped off, before two years."  and Heera was hearing all these like why is she telling me all these!

'And my Son Tarun is taking care of the concern right now. He is as old as you are and i will ask you without any deviation that i want you both to become get married. I've heard about you from a good friend of mine and that's why made a visit on my way to your house to ask your parents and they say it's your wish. So, now i will leave! Girl, you have to decide soon and tell me. " she finished with a whole hearted smile and she started talking to her parents leaving her shock-headed.  Soon, she left the house and Heera came into her room to change into casuals, and of course shriya was with her.

'See, Heera! Any how you don't have any boy friend or anything else, and this guy seems to be nice to be heard from his mom. I won't say you to accept this proposal but just give it a try speaking to him and then decide. '  Shriya said as Heera came out of the water closet, patting her wet, washed face with a dry towel.

"I don't have any idea of getting married for now. I don't want to get into a dependent life, shriya. Let things get better.  I have to earn more, to set up my dispensary. I can't give it a try now." she answered and then sniffed.

'I didn't tell you to get married all of a sudden. Just go, meet him. If he is a nice, guy..  ' Shriya didn't complete, to be precise Heera didn't let her complete, but she finished it 'If he is a nice guy, i will suggest you, you go marry him; but please stop pushing me into this wedlock. For god sake, for my sake! Please! ' she almost screamed at her best friend.

When their conversation was on air, Shriya rushed to the door, hearing the knock. It was Heera's mom, in front of the door.

' Both of you, come for dinner soon. We are waiting. Okay?! ' she said with unknown happiness on her face.

When everyone gathered to have their supper in absolute silence, it was Heera's dad who started talking about the proposal thing 'Heera, what do you think about today's evening thing?! ' he asked as the food in his mouth travelled down.

' Dad, how do you think that i will accept this blindly!? I do not really want this now. Let me earn some good penny, build my own infirmary. Besides, i don't even know who is that Tarun.!' she almost fierced.

'Listen Heera, i know about Tarun. I'd met him couple of times during conferences. And i know about him. He is a real gentleman. I and your mom will be glad, if you accept this proposal. So what, even after the wedding you can work  and earn and then set up your building. ' he said in a firm and strict voice, with all what Heera came to know was her parents had decided about this thing and they're going to make her accept this.

' Okay, now. Tell me directly; what?! Both of you have already decided about this matter.  You're  telling me to marry him. Right?! ' she said in a tone with no patience. How will it be possible for her to a marry a stranger!?

' We didn't! 'her mom replied in one line and then her dad started again, ' You will meet him tomorrow. He is in London right now for a commercial deal. So, we have planned your meeting over skype! You can talk to him and tell us the decision. If everything goes right and tight ,we will plan further. I guess, you will give a postive answer as we both think that you won't get a better man than him. ' he said and patted her back, stood up from the table and went off.

And her mom was like,' Heera, this is for your welfare and try not to skip this. You will not get a better person than him. '

' What better person, better person blah blah blah! How do they know about him!' She thought!

She didn't say anything, but still she was unable keep herself away from these thoughts. She didn't really know surely, how her parents and Shriya could force her to this extent in this wedding thing.

' How are they sure that i will accept this and i seriously don't have any idea of dealing with men. What the f**k! Should i think this much for a simple stuff like this. Of course this is not a simple stuff. My life stuff!! I have to think of it right now!' she said to Shriya who was ardently texting her boy friend. But being a multi tasker, she immediately replied Heera's question,' You don't have to worry about this as of now. Just relax! Anyhow you will talk to him tomorrow by this time. We will decide after that. Just sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow! '  she said and left to her home bidding a good bye.

London :

Akshay and Maya were having their morning coffee and that's when Tarun woke up and strode towards them. Tarun is young businessman and the only son of Mrs.Shanthi and his father Shankar had expired a couple of years ago. Akshay and Maya are his best friends since their college days. Akshay was dating Maya during college days and they got married around eight months ago. Coming to Tarun, He has his own physique, normal skin tone and extraordinarily hot jaws, slightly lengthy but matching his appearance kinda nose. His appearance is enough to drag anyone into his trap.

When he came out of the privy, he got a call from his mom, and he picked up the call with lots of enthusiasm like a child.

'Mom! ' he exclaimed on phone.

But soon his face twisted and tousled after listening to what his mom said.' Mom, I want to be young, wild and free. If you want me to marry right now, certainly; I can't! ' he pleaded to his mom.

' But Tarun, i am not asking you to marry her all of a sudden, you will talk to her tomorrow on skype. Just talk to her, know about her and when you return, we will arrange for an engagement. I am two hundred percent sure, that you will like her. I want you to get married, as soon as possible. Talk to her tomorrow and tell me your decision. Hope, I will get a positive response. 'she said and hung up.

With furrowed eye brows and so much fury, he came towards Akash and Maya.

' What's up, dude?! ' Maya asked Tarun, being baffled seeing his face reactions.

' Maya, look at mom! She is telling me to get married. And i have to see the girl tomorrow and talk to her on skype it seems. See, how much she is hurrying me into this! So, what?! Can't she wait until we get back there.!' he shouted at Maya.

'What's your problem now man?! Why are you making it a serious issue. Anyhow you're going to marry a girl. And i am the only girl who is close to you, and i am your best friend, as far as i know, you are not in a relationship with any other girl.  So what's the issue?! Why are you making this an issue.?! ' she blurted out.

' As Maya says, what're you thinking about yourself?! Just talk to her tomorrow and then we will decide. Aunty's assumption will never go wrong and i guess she has seen a perfect girl for you. Let's hope for the best. We will decide this after talking to her. ' Akshay, said the same.

' But i don't want this right now! ' Tarun being stubborn, wanted to justify himself.

' Tarun, stop worrying about this. We have many other things to worry about. ' Maya said pointing out the laptop screen, which meant that they had official works.

Maya and Akshay are one of the sweetest couples, that could ever exist in this world. They have always been supportive to Tarun.  Whenever, Tarun's mom talked about his wedding, they have been supporting him till that day, but when they realized his mom's feeling and when they saw from her point of view, they honestly felt that he must get married and they have to tell him regarding this!

Both Heera and Tarun worked hard to find out the maximum number of faults on each other, before talking to eachother itself, so that it could help them to avoid this wedding. All they thought was only about this.

Think, Heera think!! Just think in the evey possible way you can, to avoid that unknown man. She thought!!

Tarun, Just think like you have never thought before. To get through this, you have to put on very robust reasons, even then mom will not let me decide this thing. He thought!!
