Bitter Reality

Engagement- I

It is said that couples are made in heaven and every person is bound to be with someone. But sometimes everything looks like a myth. How can this all be true?

Naina's POV

I trust God and I am a strong believer but still, it is hard to confront that it is seriously happening with me! Today is the day when I will belong to somebody else. He will have a claim on me. Me, on the other hand, cannot deny this fact. Kabir is nice no doubt but who isn't before marriage. All the true colors are out only after the deed is done. And I fear this the most.

Trust me but today I am genuinely confronting my biggest fear. Marriage was something which had no space in my future but today everything is going to change just like this.

I heard a knock and said "come in".

There stood my mom with holding a huge tray in her hand which was full of clothes and jewelry. Then I realized these are the clothes which I am going to wear today! She neatly kept them on my bed and make her way towards me. Which surprised me the most was after coming towards me she hugged me and started crying. I don't know what came over me but I also hugged her back. Strange but I was not feeling bad. In fact, now I am over this fact and have left everything on my destiny!

"I am going to miss you a lot Naina!" My mother said sobbing in my arms.

"I am also going to miss you too mom but I am not getting married today right? It is just engagement!" I said a little frustrated.

There is no point in overreacting when she was the one who wanted me to marry Kabir as soon as it is possible. She should be happy right now but nope she has to do all drama. I know I am pathetic but if you will think logically I am right!

"It is going to be fine soon. Mom shouldn't take any kind of stress." I said rolling my eyes.

I know right now I am way too rude to my own mother but it is not my mistake. My mind has stopped working. I am nervous and nobody is there to tell me that everything will be fine. Nobody cares what I am going through. This is how I am feeling right now. Pathetic I know!

"Beta when will Kia come? You have to go to parlor right!" She said wiping her tears.

See suddenly change of track!!

"Mom she will be coming soon. I am all ready to go. Just waiting for her." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Okay. I am going downstairs to check how is everything going". She said kissing my forehead.

I just nodded and she went outside just when I was about to call Kia. Somebody entered my room without even knocking I knew who it was and just rolled my eyes and said," you will never change Kia".

She Just laughed at me and hugged me. "let's go and make you hot as hell." She said still laughing and I hit her arm playfully.

----------------

From the past one hour, I am just sitting in front of this damn mirror and madam Kia is just busy in doing argument with my make-up artist!.

I swear if she didn't stop in the next five Minutes than I am literally going to run from here. It doesn't even bother to her that we are already running late!!!

Fine, I am counting till five even after that Kia doesn't stop then I am genuinely going to yell!. One, two, three, four and five. Shoot everything.

"Enough both of you. Kia stop all of this nonsense. Mom is already calling me repeatedly and you are busy arguing about something which I don't even want. Kabir's family has already arrived Kia and look at me! My hairs and make-up are still not done. So just shut up both of you." I said shooting a glare at both of them. They looked a little scared after what I said and I smirked to see this!

Kia was just Listening to me with her wide eyes and then I said to the women who was supposed to do my hair and other stuff," please understand the importance of time and Hurry up". She Just nodded at me and signalled me to sit down. I did as instructed and almost after half an hour everything was done. Both Kia and stylist didn't argue and did their work perfectly. I opened my eyes and gasped. Every single thing was just perfect. I wanted nude makeup, something which made me look who I am. Nothing was over. I couldn't believe for a second or two that it was me who was standing in front of the mirror. Kia came beside me Hugged me and said, "You are just looking like a princess and Kabir is definitely gonna have a heart attack today. "She winked at me and somehow that made me feel shy and my cheeks burned...

---------------

While driving towards the banquet hall I was Just wondering how is Kabir looking today. I was so nervous that I didn't even realize that we reached the banquet and my mom was sitting beside me to gain my attention.

Finally, She said grabbing my hand," It's time beta". I nodded and my brother came beside me, first, he kissed me on my forehead and then hugged me.

"You are looking beautiful munchkin," he said which made me emotional but I controlled my tears and level best not to let them fall. He took my hand in his and my other hand was in my mom's hand. Behind me, Kiara was there. We reached the entrance and I closed my eyes for a second because of the sudden flash Light of the camera!

When I opened my eyes I took a minute to realize that every corner of the hall was decorated with red roses. As I checked the decorations my eyes fell on someone. I literally froze and everything around me just stopped. I saw him. He was watching me with wide eyes and I was shamelessly checking Him out. He was dressed in Navy blue three-piece suit and did I said he looked hot? No, he looked beyond hot. Every word is just not enough to describe how much handsome he looked. My breath hitched and everything around me just vanished, it was just me and him staring deep into each other eyes... And then I realized that everybody's attention was on us and they all have that one expression which said,

"Awww".....
