Chapter 13: chapter 13

Sanjana's POVDays passed, and I didn't see Aditya again.One day, I received a call from my mom saying to come home early.When I reached, my mom took my hand, made me sit on the couch and said, "Sanjana,  it's my responsibility  to get you  married into a nice family.. there is an alliance for you, the boy is working in Mehta groups in the finance department with a very good package. They have seen you in Kapil uncle's daughter's wedding. They liked you and today they are coming for a formal meeting. I have seen the boy in the photo ,he is good ,I am not saying to marry him ,just see him ,talk to him ,if you like ,only then we will proceed. I know this is all of sudden for you, but please Sanjana try to understand."I was astonished to hear my mom." Mom , I am not ready for marriage right now, how can I ..."before I could say further my mom Interrupted me and said, " Sanju , someday or other day, you are supposed to marry someone, and moreover there is no guarantee to one's life, if something happens to me, there should be someone to take care of you like a princess, please Sanajana , meet him and  then decide"I reluctantly agreed to meet him for my mom.My mom asked me to wear a saree.By 6:00 pm the boy's family arrived.My mom called me and asked me to sit in front of them.I slowly raised my head to see him, he smiled looking at me.I smiled and felt he is good looking with a tall and muscular body. His features were also good.My mom, and his parents were having a casual conversation.Suddenly, I heard his mom saying, "  Rekha sis, if you agree can we send Vihaan and Sanjana to talk personally to get to know each other""Of course of course why not, Sanajana take him to your room and get to know each other" ,my mom replied.I glared at my mom ,but couldn't say anything Infront of new people, so I followed her orders.I got up and asked Vihaan to follow me.I took him to my room ,  asked him to sit on my study table chair.and I sat opposite him. I was feeling a little  awkward.He initiated the conversation saying, "   Sanjana I saw you at the wedding and immediately liked you.I wanted to talk to you the same day, but couldn't dare to come near you. I couldn't sleep properly from the day I saw you, trust me , it's like love at first sight for me.I don't know whether you will agree to this marriage or not, but if you agree I will make sure to give you the best life.."I don't know what to say, he looks good and he is promising me to give  good life.and moreover it will be an arranged marriage for me, because my mom will not agree for a love marriage."What if I say no to this wedding", I asked"It is your decision Sanjana, I will respect it, I can't force you."I took a deep breath and said"Vihaan, if you really like me, then there is something I want to make clear.I am the only daughter of my parents and   my father died when I was a small kid, if I get married,there will be no one to take care of my mom , I can agree to marry you only  if you and your family won't interrupt in future  in taking care of my mom and you should not stop me if she requires my financial support.""of course Sanjana, after wedding I will take care of your mom like mine", he repliedI felt relieved when I heard him and smiled."So can I assume  yes from your side?, he asked.I smiled in a reply."Thank you Sanjana ,thank you so much for accepting me", he was delighted.After a little more conversation with him, we both came out of the room and walked into the living room where our parents were sitting.My mom looked at me, and I smiled.She understood that I liked him.Meanwhile, Vihaan's mother asked my mom, "Rekha sis , if Sanajana agrees let's have a quick engagement in a few days.what do you say??""Of course ,of course why not, I will speak to the priest and let you know the auspicious date and time" ,my mom replied.I could see  my mom was very happy with the wedding, I have never seen her so happy before.  The environment in my house was very cheerful."Then we will leave , meet you again in the engagement My dear daughter-in-law, Vihaan's mother, came near me and kissed my forehead.Vihaan's eyes were fixed on me, I could feel his gaze on me.I looked at him and he stood leaning on the door frame , smiling at me.I don't know why I blushed..Soon the family left and only me and mom were left.Mom hugged me and said. " you don't know how happy I am Sanju, Thank you beta thank you so much".I smiled and said, "I can feel it,  your face is glowing.""ok ok ,go take a rest, you might be tired", she said.I nodded and went inside my room and called Nidhi to tell her about today's event.She was shocked to hear me, " Sanju are you really doing this, I mean are you ready for this wedding, I know you have never admitted in front of  me that you love Aditya, but I know you love him, can you love Vihaan now?"I took a deep breath and said, " Nidhi ,I want to forget Aditya, it was my mistake to admire him and love him, and moreover he is India's most eligible bachelor , do you think he will marry a girl like me, they were all my dreams Nidhi, I think I should start living in reality.Vihaan is good , maybe I don't love him right now, maybe after marriage I may start liking him.I just want to go with the flow Nidhi, that's it.And you know ,I have never seen mom as happy as today, anything for my mom Nidhi."She sighed and said, "as you wish for Sanjana, I just want you to be happy ,that's it and very happy for you.""leave about me, my marriage is anyways fixed, what about you Nidhi?, try to forget Kabir, he is already married , give life a new chance, you will also find your prince charming, just don't waste your time on Kabir"she sighed !!! " I will Sanju, don't worry I too think I have to move on from Kabir's feelings and find a new one for me too, may be I will find someone in your wedding, "she chuckledI smiled and said, "don't try to divert the topic Nidhi, I am serious"" Ok my mother, I will try , happy now, let's go to sleep. I am sleepy, "she said.I said good night and cut the call.I sat on the bed and said to myself," No more Aditya's thoughts Sanjana, you are gonna marry Vihaan, so try to get to know him"When I was about to to sleep ,I received a WhatsApp  message from unknown number it said, " Good night my princess, love you"I checked the profile pic and it's vihaan's. "where did you get my number from?", I replied." Got your number in the wedding  from one of your cousins, but didn't dare to message you", Vihaan replied.I smiled and said," Good night"
