Her Innocent Love

Chapter-2

Suraj(pov)

Today is my engagement with a girl I don't know anything about her except her name.We are now at our farmhouse only her parents, close relatives, and friends are present well mine also.

I am standing close to stairs as ceremony is just going to start. My cousin is also with me wasting my time. Talking non- stop.And my one and only friend is with his wife.I just nod at whatever my cousins saying as I am not a talkative person well I don't talk with them. I am a man of few words. Except with my friend Atul I hardly talks with anyone.

"OH! It's 11:00 time to bring the girl , go Saraswati bring the girl" said my mom to my one of the cousins.

My cousin hurriedly go to bring the girl. I hear the sound of anklets, when I looked to where is the source of sound.

I saw my fiancee coming downstairs. Her head is covered so I can't see her face. She is wearing cream and golden colour embroidery lehenga. When she came close to me I can smell her, it's lavender and also baby soap like. She is holding her skirt tightly.

"We should bring the ring "said mom.

My mom and her mom bring the ring. My mom gives me the ring; I take it and blankly looked at my mom. She signal me to put it on her. When I tried holding the girl hand to put the ring she jerked her hand away. I looked at my mom, but she is already looking at girl's mother. She embarresly look at us and get close to girl and started whispering to each other, I impatiently waited to put the damn ring, lastly the girl nod and put her hand in air. I hold it and put the ring on her ring finger . I also put my hand in air; she put the ring in my finger. Everyone clap for us. The girl goes to her mother and tell something to her, her mother nods and take her upstairs after telling something to a waiter. After sometime same waiter take some food upstairs.

So the girl was hungry, I am also hungry God damnit from the morning,mom didn't let me have anything telling it's ritual. I look here and there for mom but she is not here, I saw father who is talking to my soon to be father-in-law. When he look at my side I tell him with my eyes to come here.

"I am hungry"telling him that I go to my room. Every relative comes to congratulate me but I ignore them and swiftly go to my room. Opening my door I shut it loudly taking off my blazer I sit in my bed and fold my shirt from forearms. In the morning I have an important meeting so I needed to attend it urgently it can't wait so without having breakfast I gone there at 9:00 am and returned at 10:30 am. Now I am hungry of course that girl has too follow that ritual also. I heard a knock aty door, I stand up and open it ,the same waiter is standing there, I gesture him to put it in the table. After putting it he goes of course congratulating me before.

I wash my hand. I sat in sofa serve the dish in my plate( dal makhni,rice,naan and matar paneer)When I was just going to have my morsel I heard someone having a conversation outside. I get close to door and tried to hear who is talking.

"The girl is so babyish like, have you seen her well she is beautiful but her appetite gosh and she only demanded for junk food that's why in menu most of the meal is junk food. Poor soon to be groom"They talked and after that they started laughing.

" Hey I also wanted to see her if she is beautiful , I wanted to see her this time I will go-

I opened my door and they stopped their talking . I glared at them.

" What are you doing here, go do your work" I said to them. I didn't even see the girl and they are taking turns to see her. After marriage I will show her never to mess with Suraj shrivastav. Just wait you babyish girl.
