Kriti's POV:
This officer seeming Abhi Malhotra's pet dog. I was going to tell him something, but I stopped. It is going to be useless if I told him anything because it will make me go against the law.
"Right. I will leave now", I said, folding the restraining order in half, and dragged myself back to my car.
Throwing one last glance at the top of the building where Abhi's office to be, I start my car and drove away.
I stopped my car after crossing the area of his office building. I stopped my car because my mind wasn't working at that time. I was feeling like I fail.
When I start realizing that there is no way anymore of getting back my job, I felt like a cry. It was also hurting me thinking that I won't get any job for the next two years. I was feeling, depressed which I never felt before because I never let myself lose to anyone.
I really can't find out what to do now. How can I tell my parents about that? They don't think twice before blaming me only of losing my job. And again they must be very happy as it will be easy for them to marry me off.
I lean on my driving seat and closed my eyes in frustration. I literally feeling helpless. And for the first time, someone forced me to accept my failure.
I again start driving my car and reached my home. I was really missing my work, my job, and my regular busy life. I never come home this early and it is making me really sad.
I sat on the sofa motionlessly and can't find out what to think or do rather accept everything.
I really can't find anything to think because there is no way for me rather than getting married.
I spend my whole day at home and I can't even describe how boring it is. In the evening, when my parents came back to the house, they are hell surprised seeing me in the house and watching TV.
"Kriti are you alright? Don't you went your office today? Are you sick?", my mom started asking me in a tense voice. She cames near to touch my forehead to know whether I got a fever or not but I stopped her.
"I'm alright. No affection needed", I said to her, and she stops.
"Then why you don't go to your work", my dad asked me to be curious.
I take a deep breath as I going to tell them what happened.
"I lost my job, and it makes me stay home today", I said to them and look at their face which is now gloomy and full of surprise.
"But why do they fire you suddenly? What you did?", my mom asked.
"Like every other time, your daughter messes with something. Come on, you know your daughter, don't you?", I asked them smiling sadistically.
"It's okay Kriti. You will find a new job soon. Don't be sad my girl", My dad said in a cheerful tone like he really can encourage me. I hope I would encourage by his words but now there is no point.
"Dad there is no possibility for me of getting a job for the next two years", I said to him in a sad tone.
"What do you mean by that?", my mom asked me in a curious tone.
"Mom I'm saying truth. I lost my job and also lost the opportunity of getting a job for the next two years because as I say I messed up with an inhuman", I told them to remove their curiosity.
My mom and dad both looked at me with a shock expression for a minute. I was wanting them to tell something, but they were silent.
"Okay, that's very bad happen to you. So what are you thinking to do now? Do you need our help for anything?", My mom said with sympathy in her tone, and it makes me laugh in my mind sarcastically. Because I know if they can help me, they won't try to do it. And in this case, their help also doesn't go to work.
"Nope. No needed your help because it will be useless", I said with a sigh.
"Alright then I think it will be better if you get married now", My mom said which I was waiting for.
"Yeah, of course. I'm all ready to get married to the guy, you choose", I said to them. I already made up my mind to get married as I have nothing to do now and my parents not going to listen to me even. So, it will be better to get married for the next two years and divorce the guy somehow after I get my job back. I decided to get married as I have to distract me from the sadness of losing my job.
My mom and dad both become happy after listening to me and I'm sure that they are thanking God inside their mind as I lost my job.
My mom informed me that the boy's family is coming to our house this weekend which was not so exciting for me. My mom also told me that the marriage is already confirmed as long as I create no problem.
I really feeling pity for the man and his family who choose me without knowing me properly.
I start thinking that I'm really going to get married, and it's an arranged marriage. In my life, I never thought about my marriage or something like that. If I get married, I have to go to a new family. And I still don't know that is it going to be easy for me to adjust to a new family.
I was also thinking about my would-be husband who has no idea about the person he is going to get married and still he is agreed to marry me. I was laughing inside my mind thinking about the man because maybe he also agrees to marry me under his family pressure. But anyway, I have nothing to do with him. I just want to pass the next two years without getting bored.
Abhi's POV:
I wanted to get rid of the girl by any means. The way she warned me today is clear that she will again come tomorrow, and she is not the girl who is going to be stopped.
So, I decided to make her stop by law because I was sure that she has no courage to go against the law. One of my friends is a police officer so, it was easy for me to make a restraining order for her.
The next day when she again tries to come to me, the police officer stopped her and give her the restraining order. I actually feel relieved when I heard from the officer that she was afraid and also acknowledge that she isn't going to disturb me in the future.
I never face this situation in my life where I have to ask help to get rid of someone. But this girl makes me to do so. She really made me out of my mind within one day, so there is nothing more peaceful than the news that I have never going to see her face again.
Thankfully I don't see her any sign today and try to forget about yesterday.
At night, when I was in my house, my father called me. I went to him thinking that maybe he has something to talk about business-related.
"Dad, you called me", I said, taking a seat beside my dad. My mom was also present there with dad.
"Yeah. We have something important to tell you", my dad said making me confused.
"About what?", I asked him with a nervous smile on my face.
"About your marriage", my dad replied which I not expected. I thought they forget about this useless topic as they weren't talking about it recently but here they are.
"Dad, not again. I already told you, I'm not ready yet. I need some more time", I said in a frustrating tone.
"Not everyone is always ready for everything rather Marriage is not a test that you have to be prepared for that. You have to take the next step of your life, and it's compulsory", my mom said this time to explain to me how important marriage in our life.
"But mom don't you think you have to let Aarohi marry first then me", I told them hoping that they changed their mind.
"I know Abhi why you do not want to get married? You want to involve yourself only at work. But it's wrong. You have to settle in your life. I and your mom want to see you happy. You can see, we are getting old, and we may have some wishes for you. We also want to spend some time with our grandchild before we left this........", I don't let my dad finish his word.
"Dad, stop. What are you saying?", I stopped him.
"Please dad never say like this. I don't like this kind of talk. And the matter of getting married, I agree to be married. If you and mom are happy seeing me get married and have a child then, I will do everything for your happiness. But please don't ever talk this", I said them and tears already started coming in my eyes. I don't even think of losing my parents who are my life. I am ready to sacrifice my life to make them happy and in this case, I also agreed to get married if they remain happy after seeing me married.
"You really say you are agreed to get married", my mom said in a surprising yet happy tone.
"Yes", I replied slowly.
"You have no idea how happy you made us by your decision, Abhi", my dad said with a smile and hug me.
"We called you to say that we're going to the girl's house this weekend to meet with her family. I hope you also wish to meet the girl. And I hope you have no problem going with us", My dad said breaking the hug.
"Yeah, I will. I have no problem at all", I said with a smile to make both of them happy.
