The Unplanned Marriage

Scared much ?

Everything is happening too fast. It's just been a week since Ma said yes to him. But they already ask a pandit for mahurat . Etni bhi kya jaldi hai . Mom is not going against them since we are from the girl's side and that too I don't have a dad . Would things be easier if I had a dad . Would he see the way he treats me . Am I asking for too much ?
"Tu ready hai ? Vansh asked
Vansh is my older brother . He doesn't live with us . He stays in a different city for a job.
We don't have a nice relationship like every sibling. Ma and Vansh are close . He shares everything with Ma . I'm jealous of their close relation . Why can't she be that close with me ? Maybe I'm the problem.
"Almost done " I replied to him .
Ishaan's family is coming with their pandit to fix the date for the wedding. I'm scared. I'm not sure about any of these. But my mom is really happy . She is happy that her responsibilities are almost over now .
Yesterday she said to Vansh "ekbar shaadi hojayegi Ira ki to mai retire ho jaungi " .
My mom has done too many things for us after my father died . She has been doing job for almost 20 years now . I want her to rest now . But since I haven't passed my exams yet I can't do anything for her . But if my marriage is solving that . I'm happy that she is happy. I can adjust. She has already done so many things for me . I guess now it's my turn .
"Vo aagaye hai . Tum upar hi betho jab awaj dungi tab niche aa jana ".
I nodded while looking at her .
It's been 20 min . And they are done with things I guess . I hear footsteps it was ishaan's mother .
"Toh tyari kaise chal Rahi hai ? She asked as she entered my room .
"Bs aunty chalu hai " I said while looking at my hands .
"Tumne weight lose nhi kiya ? She said after looking at me.
"Vo .... I don't know what to tell her .
"Mai kal kuch goliye bhejti hu vo roj lena start Karo 1 mahine mai sab lose ho gayega .
Phir lehenga mai fit hongi tum shaadi ke phele ."
I nodded looking down . Agar patli ladki chahiye thi toh mujhe haa bola hi kyu koi dusri kar lete .
Each of my relative has already told me to lose weight with some tips and tricks . Does everything depends on the weight of the girl . My insecurities are growing even more these days .
After a bit we went downstairs and had lunch . After a while they left .
They decided a date after a month from today And just like that two weeks passed.
Everyone in my family is here . My father's side family and my mother's side too . We all stay in the same city so they came when we went shopping and left in the evening. It's been too hectic days .My migraine headache doesn't stop these days . Today I called Riya and told her about the wedding . She immediately made a plan to meet the next day with everyone .Ishaan and I don't have much conversation. Sometimes he calls me to give instructions of his mom and sometimes I text for wedding shopping. He never made an attempt to make a bond .
The next day I woke up and got ready. Today mom and maasi are going shopping for their wedding clothes and jewellery. I made my coffee and sat in peace. These days I don't have much time of my own . So I sat in the gallery sipping coffee while I listened to some music . After half an hour I cleaned the house and had a shower . I had my lunch . There were still chores remaining so I did all the work . At 4 I got ready and stepped out to meet my friends . When I reached the cafe only Riya was there and I was so thankful for that . I told her everything about Ishaan and his family.
"Yaar , dhek tujhe sab weight ke bare mai bolenge . Tu sab pe dyan mat diya kr " Riya said . She knows I overthink everything so she genuinely told me to just be like me .
"Aur rahi baat Ishaan ki toh I think you should talk to him . Tell him your opinions about everything" she said really worried about his behaviour.
"Baat mujhe bhi karni hai but vo humesha hi kuch essa bol deta hai ki mai literally shocked ho jati hu . Matlab Mai kuch bhi karlu his family is never satisfied. And the pills Jo uski maa ne di thi usse sachmuch mujhe stomachache hua esliye nhi le maine ."
I finally felt a bit better as I told her everything in my mind . After an hour everyone came . Sagar , Raj , Sayali and Rehan too . It was awkward as Rehan just kept staring but didn't say anything the whole time .
"Seriously, yaar etni jaldi kyu shaadi kar rahi hai tu abhi bs 23 ki hai " Raj said looking at me like I gave him a shock .
"Kya farak padta hai kabhi na kabhi toh karni hi hai " I replied.
We ordered and started eating.
I love fries 🤤 I haven't eaten fries since so long
"Tum yahan ? I looked up and it's was Ishaan.
"Ha friends se milne aaye thi ". I said Suddenly I was too scared to eat .
"Don't tell me tum esse shaadi kar rahi ho " Rehan whispered to me
"Excuse Me " Ishaan said to Rehan.
Ishaan looked really angry right now. Yaar kahi esne sunn toh nhi liya .
"He didn't meant it like that" I explained to Ishaan.
"Tumse toh mai baad me baat karta hu " He said looking at me and started to leave .
I go after him to explain him.
"Ishaan uska sachmai essa matlab nhi tha . Vo bs majak kr raha tha . Please don't take him seriously." I started explaining him as he stopped at parking.
"Ira , etni close kyu thi tum eske . Hai kaun vo ladka . Are you dating him? ." He literally started screaming .
" Nhi essa nhi hai ." I said trying to calm him down .
"Tum toh baat hi mat karo 2 goliya khane bola toh tumhe stomachache ho raha tha . Abb ye fries khate wakt nhi laga kuch . Agar tum esse hi behave karogi toh kabhi weight loss nhi hoga tumhare. Shaadi Mai bus 10 din baaki hai aur tumhe toh kuch padi hi nhi hai " .
"Essa nhi hai . Listen to me ."
He left before I can say anything to him .
I didn't realised when I started crying. This would create another mess now .
Someone touch me from behind and I almost screamed
"It's me." Rehan said coming infront of me .
"Ese koi darta hai . They don't even have lights in the parking" . I said really annoyed at him .
"Scared much ? He asked  looking at me .
"Tum roh rahi thi ? " He asked .
I started wipping my face not looking at him feeling embarassed.
"Rehan tumhe uske samne esse nhi bolna chahiye tha " I said looking at him.
"Usse sunayee bhi nhi diya Ira Tum pata nhi Etna kyu dar rahi ho "
"Tum nhi samjho ge " I said to him
"Ira , kya tum sach mai uss ladke se shaadi kar rahi ho ? He asked concerned
"Etna bura bhi nhi hai " I tried to make a joke to change the mood .
"Ira I really think you deserve better. Tumhe esse treat nhi karna chahiye ussne . He left you in a parking. It's late too ."
"Bs gusse mai tha vo " I tried to reason with him .
"Kitna bhi gusse mai ho vo usse esa nhi karna chahiye . I would never leave you here like that " he said holding my hand .
"Toh what should I do ?Cancel my wedding with him and then what ? Would you marry me ? I asked him I'm really angry right now .I have too much on my plate .
My eyes widened as I realised what I said to him
Shit ... Did I just proposed him ?
I didn't have the guts to even look at him .
"Mujhe late ho raha hai mai ghar jaa rahi hu" I said hurriedly and left ..
