Marriage For One Year (COMPLETED)

16. Must Be Hallucinating

Abhi's POV:

In the evening, we went to the girl house. I don't know what to feel about the fact that I'm going to meet my would-be wife who is going to be my better half. I wasn't excited about the matter that I will meet the girl with whom I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

Although I don't want to get married now, but for my parents, I have to. For them, I have to accept an unknown girl as my wife and give her a place in my life and I have no idea am y ready for that or not.

We went to the girl house and the parents of the girl greet us very warmly. They are seeming very sweet and kind.

They are seeming very much friendly with us and treating us nicely.

The girl father was also a very nice person, and he is a doctor. He praised me and Aarohi a lot as we both gain fast success and improve more of our father industry.

Meeting and talking with the family of the girl makes me assume that the girl also will be the same as her parents.

We are sitting in the living room, and there were some pictures of the child, and I think it's maybe the girl's childhood picture and the picture was seeming very cute.

After a while, a girl came suddenly and I thought maybe she is the girl. But she introduced herself as the friend of the girl.

It was clear to me that the girl sends her friend to check on me before she meet me because her friend staring at me in a strange way. I chuckled in my mind feeling her continue stare on me. After some time, she left from there.

My mom said her parents to bring the girl in front of us and I don't know why my mom was so eager.

But honestly, there was some curiosity playing inside my mind also.

The girl's mom went to bring the girl. I feel my heart started beating as I was feeling nervous. I really don't know why the hell I was feeling nervous thinking about the girl.

After a while, the girl's mom came and when I saw the girl behind her, my breath stopped. It was impossible for me what I was saying. I thought it was a hallucination or some nightmare, I can't accept the moment as reality after seeing the girl.

"It's impossible. She can't be the one with whom my parents fixed my marriage. Why the hell I'm seeing that mannerless girl in front of me. I must be hallucinating", I said in my mind to console myself.

I closed my eyes and open it after a few seconds to make sure it is reality. And still I'm seeing the same girl. I was shocked and surprised and can't find anything to think about.

I was looking at her with shock while she was looking down. I don't what is the matter with her. I can't figure out is she surprised or afraid. There is no sign of raising her eyes.

My mom make her sit beside her. The girl still looking down. Her behavior was proving that she already figure out about me, and that's why maybe she was confused and has no courage to look up, especially to look at me.

I was still shocked and I don't know how to react or how to handle this situation. I was feeling like saying no for this marriage on their face.

Suddenly, I saw she looked at my direction and her eyes seeming helpless. For the first time, I saw her eyes without any anger. She looked at me for some seconds and again, she looks down. I don't know what she is trying to prove by her this kind of behavior. If she is trying to prove that she is shy like other girls then it's utterly wrong and impossible.

"What's your name pretty girl?", My mom asked her in a sweet tone. A cheerful smile was playing in my mom's face.

"Ki...Ki... Kriti", she shuttered while she was replying.

"So Kriti, don't feel shy so much. Take us as your own family", my mom said her again thinking her shy.

Kriti wasn't responding this time as she also knows in her mind that she is not shy at all rather one of the most crazy girls.

I was observing Kriti every second seeing her acting.

"Kriti, here is my son, Abhi who is going to be your husband soon. Do you want to talk with him alone?", my mom asked her.

"No", she replied instantly in a shocking tone.

"Kriti if you want then, you can talk with each other. Why you're behaving so strangely?", her mom said this time.

"No, mom. I'm o…o…okay. It's not necessary to ta...ta...talk alone", Kriti said.

"Enough. I have to dismiss this drama here and right now", I thought and going to say something but Aarohi stopped me by holding my hands and signal me no by her eyes.

I don't know why Aarohi saying no, but I decided not to say something now because maybe it will create again a big drama here. So, I decided to tell my parents after going back to our home.

My mom and dad asked a few stupid questions to her which she replied acting like a good girl.

I can't understand that is she really thinking to marry me or something.

"Abhi do you want to ask her something?", my dad asked me, and he was seeming happy.

"Nope, not interested", I replied looking at Kriti. My dad give me a confused yet disappoint look after hearing me.

"I...I...I mean I have nothing to ask more", I replied again.

"Then well, I think you will know each other perfectly with times", my mom said this time.

"If Kriti and Abhi have no problem then why not we arrange their engagement next weekend", my dad said to Kriti's dad which I not expected too soon.

I find Kriti also seeming surprise after hearing that.

"Dad, what are you saying?", I asked in a surprised tone.

"I said your engagement going to happen next weekend", Dad again repeated.

"Abhi, do you have any problem? You can say whatever you want", Kriti's dad asked me.

Yes, I want to say many things. I want to say no for this marriage and end this drama right here but I wasn't able to say that. Something was stopping to say that. I'm sure that if I say that then it will hurt my parents as well as Kriti's parents who are being so good with my family and maybe I insult them by my behavior.

I looked at Kriti who was shut not saying anything. Her face was saying that she was feeling miserable from inside. I expect her to break this marriage right now by herself, but she was silent.

"I think you have no problem so, it's final that the engagement going to next weekend", my dad said. My parents and Kriti's parents become very happy confirming the day of our engagement.

I was feeling angry inside as I'm not able to stop them to confirm the engagement day.

"Can I go now?", Kriti said pretending like an innocent girl which makes me furious even more.

After that, she left the room without saying anymore thing.

"Thank God, you don't do something stupid", Aarohi whispered to me in a low tone.

I can't wait to go to our house and told my parents to cancel this marriage.

We spend some more time in Kriti's house as our parents talking with each other. At this time, Kriti didn't come in front of us again nor her friend.

Kriti's parents request us for dinner and my parents agreed. I was not feeling to stay here anymore, but I was forced to do so.

Kriti's mom called Kriti and her friend for dinner, and they also join in the dining table.

I can't help myself not to look at her. And this time I find her no more afraid, nervous or helpless. She is seeming a totally different person now as she is acting normal like everything is fine as she is okay with this marriage. Even she is looking delightful where I'm so much tensed from inside.

Kriti was totally ignoring my presence although I was sitting opposite of her of the dining table. This time she was talking with my parents without any hesitation, and it was making my parents even happier. She was also talking with Aarohi.

I understand that something was going inside her mind against me otherwise she can't be so comfortable with my family suddenly, and her sudden change behavior making more furious.

I wanted to ask her right at the moment, about her true intention, but I was helpless. It was really hard for me to accept her fake drama and I can't wait to get rid of all these things by breaking this so-called marriage.

After dinner, we leave from Kriti's house. My mood was totally spoiled after what happened today. It was hard for me to believe that I had to see her again today.

Reaching our home, I stopped my mom and dad when they are going to their room.

"Mom, Dad I have to tell you something and it's important", I said, making them confused.
