Veronica was waiting in a cafe for her future husband. Seriously that sounds crazy, although she was 24 years old and was happy with her life she never wanted to get married.

She never liked the idea of marriage and above all she never wanted an arranged marriage.

Yesterday she got the news about her arrange marriage.

Mom are you serious right now..... How many times have I told you that I don’t want to get married. I shouted at my mom, which I don’t do usually but this news was simply outrageous.

Mom told me to calm down first and listen to her so I did, she told me that it was for my own good and grandpa has arranged all of this.

He wanted my father to marry his friends daughter but it was not possible because my father loved my mother and he wanted to marry her.

So after that he lost contact with his friend but recently they met and after finding out that his friend has a grandson my grandpa wanted me to marry him.

My mom hugged me and told that it was not a bad idea to meet him. She told that grandpa loves me and would always think for the best for me, and I knew that she was right.

After hearing all this I reluctantly agreed to meet my so called future husband. Although I don’t like the idea of marriage I loved my grandpa the most I didn’t want to disappoint him so here I was waiting for some idiot who’s going to become my husband.

I was texting Shreya my best friend and telling her about the situation. Shreya has always been a great friend to me, she understands me better than I do myself.

I met her in college firstly I used to think that she didn’t like me and she used to think the same but when we talked to each other because of a friend we became friends instantly and we never knew how important we became in each other’s life. It’s funny how strangers become a part of your life suddenly.

I told her that coming here was a bad idea and I was not ready to meet him. I was so nervous and anxious at the same time. She told me to relax and just wait for him and talk to him so that we can solve the situation.

I don’t even know what am I going to say to him. Like hello......

nice to meet you.....

we are going to get married but I don’t want to get married.

Like what should I do I was never good at expressing myself and today’s situation was not really what I wanted.

I was anxiously typing when I heard footsteps that were approaching me I looked up to see who it was and I was shocked to see him.

Never in my life I imagined to see him again.

I did not expected to see him. I was shocked to see him and even more because he just came and took a seat in front of me.

Shivam Singhania the person, whom I never wanted to see again in my life. I tried to recover from my shock and talk to him.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE??” I asked him.

“Hi, how have you been?” he asked.

Oh my god is he crazy or what he is asking me how I have been seriously he is making me so angry. I controlled my anger and asked him again “ what are you doing here?”

“I came here to meet you.” He said

You came here to meet me. And why would you do that oh god don’t tell me what I’m thinking is true.

You are the guy whom I’m going to get married to I said. I cannot believe this, what is happening with my life I thought.

Yes we are going to get married soon he said to me.

I don’t know what to say anymore I stood up to leave but he held my hand and asked me to sit and listen to him. Listening to him was not an option after what happened 3 years ago no I’m not going to listen to him there’s nothing left between us.

I told him I’m not listening to you and we are not getting married you are going to tell your family that you don’t want to get married to me.

He said he will marry me no matter what I say after hearing him I left the cafe and sitting in car I left him behind

As I was driving I played my favourite song someone you loved by Lewis Capaldi

I’m going under and this time I fear

There’s no one to save me

This all or nothing really got

A way of driving me crazy

I need somebody to heal, somebody to know

Somebody to have, somebody to hold

It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same, I guess

I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds, into nightfall, and

You’re not here, to get me through it all

I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And while listening to it all the memories that I tried to burry deep down for the last 3 years came rushing back. The hurt the pain from which I was running all these years came back to me.

Shivam Singhania that one person whom I trusted the most the only person I showed all my flaws to the person whom I loved the most. I met him when I was in college. We met in one of the parties my friend arranged that was the day when I first saw him. He was standing in the balcony wearing a white shirt with black pants. His black hairs styled perfectly and his light brown eyes were just magical it was love at first sight for me.
