Changed for Better

Chapter 4

Sidarth's pov:

We both sat on chair opposite to each other. Silence consumed us.

Chandana is staring at her lap as if movie is being played in her lap.

Sigh

Better i talk.

"Chandana , right....." i asked.

great Sid

nice question

She smiled innocently

Innocent

The word i loath ......

Flashback..

The sun was already dipping behind the horizon, but the daylight still lingered in the air as though. accidentally left behind.

I like the view in front of me.

I take out my sketch book from my bag and started drawing.

Kirthi.....

She is /was the one and only friend i had in my life.

When her eyes landed on what i am about to do, She huffed and said"not again sidu. Aren't you bored of drawing same again and again." said kirthi.

"Today u r looking different." i said

"How?.i mean explain."

"Today u wore different cloth and slipper." i said laughing a bit.

"Stupid."kirthi said and got up to leave,but held her wrist.

"Let me finish my sketch till then u admire the beauty of nature" i said and concentrated on my work.

Flashback ends...

Sid don't trust anyone. Don't let anyone in your life my mind said.

She look innocent said my heart.

I am confused now.

Finally decided to listen to my mind.

"Look, don't expect love from me.

I am marrying you for my parents."i said looking at her to find whether she is innocent or not.

You know,life is unpredictable.

She is grinning from ear to ear.

Did i misunderstood her?

Why am i feeling guilty ?

From when did start to feel my heart mocked at me.

From today my mind replied for that.

Stop both of them..... i have to concentrate... i chided them.

She suddenly masked her expression with straight face and said " fine with me as long as we live like strangers." i am shocked would be an understandment .

I thought she would beg me to give a chance but its other way around.

She extended her hand and said"strangers..." i felt this sudden urge hold her hand and feel it .

What is wrong with me?. I never felt so much attraction towards any other girl like this .

i think something possessed me.....oh god save me.......

No, i don't want to show how desperated I am so.

I folded my arms across my chest and leaned in my chair and said "i don't shake hand with a ugly pig" i said with smirk on my face.

nice cover up......

"You robot face....i ..... am......" she tripped and landed on me.

I held her waist from further falling.

Don't act all innocent, i know you wanted to touch her waist the moment you saw her my mind mocked at me...moment spoiler...

Her small hands was placed on my chest,my heart started beating wildly.

what if she hear.......?

She went stiff in my arms and looked visibly nervous.

Her face is few inches away,i felt my self drowning in her eyes.

Her brown eyes were like a sweet chocolate.

Her nose were like ......button... cute though....

Her lips.......oh god..

Pink...soft....luscious...i want to taste those lips........

Our moment disturbed by the sound of the camera snapping pictures.

Already our....too fast my mind mocked at me .

She got up abruptly and started to go.

why so urgent? why do i feel like i want to hold her in my arms till eternity?.

What is with me all romantic?

Is she doing magic to me?

Get a grip sid....

"Wait, did she called me robot face." unbelievable.

No one called me by names.

"Nice try "i said. She stopped in her tracks and turned towards me.

Her eyebrows were scrunched with confusion and her eyes looked curious.

She look cute.....

I continued " i know i am irresistible. You could have begged me to touch you." i think now she got what i am talking about.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and glared at me.

"Are you ready to face me Mr. robot face."

"Always".

We are talking through our eyes.

She went giving me last look scratch glaring,i followed her.

Chandana's pov:

From past 10 minutes we sat there not exchanging a word.

Finally he opened his mouth" chandana , right" he asked .

Great he even don't know my name .

ok don't be rude. behave...i chided myself and smiled nodding .

Again pin drop silence. He sat there glaring my face. what is wrong in my face? I think i looked good but this man is glaring at me. Maybe he is envious that he isn't beautiful as me or  he don't know any other expression other than glaring or is he robot.....wait,may be scientist designed his face with glaring expression....lol

i controlled with all the energy i have not to laugh at his face.

"Look, don't expect love from me.

..i am marrying you for my parents...." he said , i could not contain my happiness anymore.

i never believed in marriage thing.

So i felt i am cheating him for giving him hopes but he is also not into this marriage , so its good oppertunity to fullfill my dream.

I have like mountain size dream and its secret .

i did not realize i was grining like stupid. I composed myself and said" fine with me as long as we live like strangers. " i don't know what got into me i extended my hands and said "strangers"

he looked at me and my hand and crossed his arm acrossss his chest and leaned against his chair, here still i held my hand in air....wow ...

" i don't shake hand with a ugly pig" he said.

what ugly pigggggggggg....?how dare....?.i could not act all nice i stood up to pull his hair but i tripped and landed on him.

way to embarrass myself.....

oh god ......

i could feel blood running to my cheeks . what am i blushing.....?

I don't want to embarrass anymore so i let go of what he said earlier.

I stood abrptly and started to go but his word made me stop on track.

" nice try " i heard him saying.

what does it mean? i scrunched my eyebrows not understandingng what he is talking.

Then he said i am trying to seduce him....god ....What does he think of me....jerk ,arrogant, i started cursing him with colourful words in my mind ...

I can't take it anymore from this moment i decided to take revenge on him and teach him lesson.

I promise on my chocolate cake, i  am going to make him better person , kind hearted,down to earth, who thinks about other person before him?

I left from there and him following me.

I went to living room when they saw me they smiled brightly .why ? what is wrong? why every time i fell some is fishy

today is" International fishyday" i sat next to my brother.

"Someone is all romantic...." i heard him saying with goofy smile. what does he mean?

"Don't beat around the bush,spill"i snapped.

He took out his mobile and showed the picture of me and sidarth holding each other.........freaking no....how did they took our photo...oh god....

I encircled arm around his neck and asked him"Who took this photo and how" i did not care about the audience present here.

"Leave my neck.... u monkey....u r killing me.." i tightened my grip and barked" tell me right now....."

"Skanda took the photo, not me.we asked him to call you guys ,it happened to have my mobile with him so he took the photo." he said.

"Who and all saw the photo other than you two"

"Everyone " someone pulled my arm suddenly. Its my mom she is sending daggers to me.

" behave chandana"she whisper yelled.

" you are getting engaged today and marriage is preponed to 10 th august that is fifteen days from today." i am shell shocked.

i am doomed ...

i don't know what to tell.....

i sat there silently not knowing what is happening in my life.

"You don't have to worry dear we will take good care of you . you are my daughter the moment i saw you i felt you are my daughter" said sidarth's mom. I felt quite relieved listening to her. She seems  good.  I liked her the moment i saw her.

We both stood in front of each other to exchange our rings..... both are glaring each other.

We exchanged rings without creating anymore drama.

My new found brothers came and wished us. Everyone one by one came and wished us.

Everyone said bye but my so called fiance did not even spare a look at me.

Its not like we like each other to wish goodbye.

My life is messed up......

Once everyone left i rushed to my room and changed into nightwear and called my machies and narrated my story except the part took in garden and photo. If they get to know they will tease me as if there is no more tomorrow.

Since they are working they have to apply leave for my wedding .

We all planed to enjoy loads when i settle in bangalore and with lot of plans how to enjoy i cut the call and laid on bed thinking about my future.
