From being arranged to love!!! #An Indian Love Story

48. Moving on??

I'm really sorry everyone.. As I said. I was emotionally down.. A small problem.. That's why I couldn't update.. So I'm really sorry!!

Have a happy read..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A few weeks have passed since the incident. There was no calls between us... No texts.. Nothing..

It was as if he never existed, our love never existed, and each time the truth struck me, I began to hate reality.

Aunty had called me the very next day after I left the hospital. The moment she said hello, the moment I heard her voice, I knew she had been crying, too. After Shikha left them, he was all that he had as a child.. And now..

If I say I was worried about Cher.. Ram, Then that would be the biggest lie of the century. It hurt me, as much as it hurt him.. Well mentally for me, though.

But through that call aunty had made it clear that she didn't want me there at the hospital.. Wasn't 'safe' as they all had said..

But I just didn't want to move on.. Even his memories and thoughts were enough for me to survive.. But what hurt more was that he was still out there, within my reach...

And these two weeks, I saw nothing outside the four walls that was my room, my world. Every morning it was his smiling face that I saw first.. And every night, it was his face that bid me the final goodnight of the day..

The picture was still there, on the ceiling.. Right above the bed.. I couldn't tear it off.. It held so many memories..

Miss.Dhruvika Sanjay, I choose you.

No you didn't.. You didn't choose me..

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I sat upright, rubbing the stains my tears had made on my face.

Papa came inside, a nervous look on his face.

Something isn't right.. I really hope everything is okay..

Dad came and sat beside me, and I quickly swung my legs down the bed, sitting close to him.. He slowly looked at my face, and I tried my best to hide my sadness, smiling at him.. But of course he is my papa, he can see well through me..

"Dhruvika.. We need to talk.." He started and I nodded my head. I knew what he was about to talk... He wants me to move on.. But can I??

"Beta.. I hope you remember how this all started.. How we wanted you to get married at this age, right?" He asked.

Yes I did.. It was crystal clear in my head.. The twist that changed my life..

She should get married before she is 24, the sooner the better!!

And the sooner she is bonded with him by all means, the better."

Huh.. Bonded.. I feel like laughing.. There was once a stage when I didn't know the real meaning of getting bonded..

But then it struck me.. I should get married before 24. And the sooner the better.

He wants me to get married, and I'll be hitting 23 in s few months.

I don't have much time..

"Papa.. But I.. I don't believe in those.. Remember he told that me and him.. That our horoscope matches 9 on 10??" I said sarcastically.
