The Adopted baby

I Want To Adopt A Baby

Now, I am at my class. I got early today. Well, Actually I couldn't sleep the whole night thinking what's going on in my life and what should I do?. I then decided to finally give this guy some attention and ask it to him directly so here I am waiting for that person. 

I opened my books and notebooks and started studying while waiting for him. I hope he comes early today so I can confront him before the class and then take it off my mind. 

After a while, a friend Ajay came inside the class, he greeted me and sat beside me saying he wanted some help from me. I said sure, and started to help him with his studies. 

I then felt someone's eyes on me, looked up to see him, Anshuman, my assignment partner and now my fiance also. He was looking at me with rage and anger filled in his eyes. He took long strides and came towards me, looking quite scary, goosebumps travelling through me. I looked straight into his eyes, not wanting him to know I am quite scared of him,  and greeted him, "umm, Hello, do you want something?".

Ajay's eyes diverted through books and followed my site to look at him, "Dude, got any problem? Why are you glaring at us like that?."

I saw him clenching his fists at this, he pulled Ajay up by his collar, and punched him straight at his nose. I got up at yelled at him, " what the hell are you doing?, leave him!!".

He ignored my words and slapped him on his cheek, " don't you dare use that tone at me, and get away from her before I beat you to a pulp. She is mine, you understand?, and tell all the boys of your class to stay away from her. Now get lost from here. I don't want to see your face here again in this class." He shouted at him. And Ajay being a nerd, slowly nodded and went outside the class, not wanting to get on the bad side of the college's most popular guy.  

The students started coming in the class. I was furious, anger filled my veins, 'how can he treat my friend like that?. Is he going to treat me the same way after we got married?. I can't let him treat me like that, and I won't'. I thought still gazing angrily at him. I then came out of my thoughts  packed up my stuff, picked up the bag, and went out of the class, dragging him with me.

I kept dragging him all the way out of the college to get some privacy,  on the way all the students, teachers, and staff were staring at us, surprised at the way I was dragging him but I don't care. I was in too much rage to care about all this. I saw Ayesha too, she became tensed seeing my furious face, and tried to stop me, but I ignored her. 

I left his hand with a jerk, yelling, "What the hell was that Mr. Anshuman?" I continued while pushing him backwards, "Why did you did that?," pointing at his chest and pushing further backwards, " Who are you to act like that?", lifting my hands up and pushing his shoulders, "first, the flirting in the class, then the marriage proposal, and now this, what do you even want? ." I said while stepping closer to him. "Haa, tell me what do you want? why are you bothering me so much?." He stopped moving backwards, still silent, his back hitting the tree behind him. I continued walking further stepping dangerously close to him. "I thought I asked you something, I didn't drag you here just to see your face, 

ANSWER ME! ANSHUMAN, WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT FROM ME?." I snapped at him at the top of my lungs, probably wanting to make his ears bleed. 

His face lit up for a second hearing his name for the first time from my mouth, then at the next moment, in spit of a second, turning over our positions, caging me between him,and the tree, capturing my hands in his big and strong ones,  he replied, " I WANT YOU VANDANA," He snapped back at me before releasing my hand, still standing very close to me.

He further continued, his voice now changing to soft ones, "I want you Vandana, all of you, You're the only girl that ever caught my attention. You're the girl who captured my heart. I fell for you. You're mine, I can't see you with any other guy except me, It should always be me, I should be the only guy you ever befriended,  I will give you everything you ever want, will love, cherish and support you all through my life. I just want YOU to be my queen, my wife. I want to marry you." He confessed emphasizing the word 'you' in his last sentence.

My eyes widened at his this confession, isn't this two early?. It's just been 2-3 days since he met me and now he's telling he fell for me, is it even possible?.

He continued as if reading my mind, "I know it's too early, too fast to catch a pace, but I can't stay away from you now." He declared looking straight into my eyes. I can see the honesty of his words through his eyes.

 I must admit I was pretty touched by his confession, my heartbeat was racing like crazy, butterflies dancing in my stomach, his proximity still blocking the path of my rational thinking. His words ringing in my ears, but he was wrong, he can't force the decision of marriage on me like a surprise exam. It was like I came to class today and the teacher said, "tomorrow is your exam, an exam which can change your life." Without telling anything exam on which subject, what will be the syllabus, how should we prepare in just one day if its value is so much?. 

In my case, I was just informed that my marriage has been fixed and that day was my engagement day. Without any information of who the person is, whether I am interested in him or not?, Noone even asked if I want to spend my life with a stranger or not?. Just after fortnight is your marriage and you should be present there.

It's good to know that my fiance, my soon to be husband loves me, but he should know he can't force his decisions on me. I pushed him away, giving myself room to breathe freely and replied, "You can't force your decision on me, we both are equal in this alliance and you must treat me like one. I will never accept your forced decision on me. The thing you did just now in the class was an example, he is my friend and just wanted some help from me, you can't treat my friends like this, no matter who you are. Being my fiance, my spouse or my husband doesn't give you right to be rude to my friends.

And I want to clear you that, I don't feel the same as you feel for me. I am only accepting this for the happiness of my parents. I hope you getting it."

He lowered his gaze for a moment, looking a bit guilty for his actions, but recovered quickly and smiled at me,

 "Yes, you're right. It's just that he was sitting so close to you and out of jealousy I acted rude, but you must understand the fact that you are now engaged and should give more time to your fiance rather than any other guy, alright. You were avoiding me from the first day itself which I can't handle, not anymore.

He paused for a second, took a long breath before continuing, " I want a chance Vandana, A chance to prove my love to you. I won't force any decision on you. You'll marry me, only when you feel the same for me or I will cancel the marriage myself." He stated in a low voice, his eyes filled with honesty and seriousness.

I just stood there stunned at his words, did he really mean what he said?, I couldn't decipher what should I do?. But he is right. I shouldn't marry him just for my parents happiness because in the end it's me who is going to spend my life with him, I need to consider my thoughts, whether I can do this or not depends upon me. As he already said that he will only marry when I reciprocate his feelings, it will be not be good to hurt his feelings like this. Should I give a chance.

"Alright, fine you have the chance till the day our marriage ceremony starts." 

"That's all I need, I know I'll succeed. Thanks for this chance. Now let's go back to the classes."

And in the end he was right, he really made me fell for him. He was so sweet, very supportive, he understood me and my dreams, gave me enough space to pursue my dreams, he never for once complained for anything. I couldn't find any other guy as good as him for myself. I am grateful to him for choosing me.

After some years

"Anshuman, can I ask you something?" I said while getting on the bed for the night.

"Sure anything, wife" He replied, turning towards me. 

"Promise me, you won't get mad?" I replied back fearing for his reaction.

"Have I ever gotten mad at you, my love?" He asked so sweetly, that's right. He never got mad at me, no matter what I do. I chuckled a little, but quickly composed as the topic I was talking about is quite serious.

"hmm,,that's right. But the thing I am about to ask may make you angry." I whispered to myself, hoping he would not have heard that.

"Nothing in the world can make me mad at you, darling. Now tell me what's the matter, what do you want?.. After that I have something to ask you too." 

"Okay, then you tell first."

"No babe, ladies first. I can't wait to hear you."

"hmm,, alright. Anshuman I-I want to- Umm.. Actually I wanted to adopt a baby." There I said it finally.

He jerked up on the bed, and began staring at me like I am some ghost. I knew it. He is going to get mad now. I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to see him getting mad

"How can you? I mean How can you, say the words which were on my tongue. Are you any sorcerer?.. How can you read my mind?" He asked rather amused not angry.

I jerked open my eyes in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I was gonna ask you the same thing from 1 week. That I want to adopt a baby. A baby girl to be precise." I put my hands on my mouth in surprise, trying hard to believe in his words.

"Anshuman, you know you're the besttttttt.....I love you a lot.. Thank you, Thank you so much." I hugged him tightly to show my gratitude and kissed him on his cheek, showing my gratitude. 

He hugged me back. "I love you too, darling.. Thanks to you too." He kissed me hard. And we fell asleep already making plans for our daughter.
