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

5.Heavens!!

The white clouds were floating up above, the wind lazily running through my hair, the sun peeking through the leaves, it was beautiful, not as I imagined it would be, but beautiful. Heaven was just like the Earth, but few degrees more beautiful.

That was when he came, is he an angel send by God, or is it the God himself. The dark brown eyes, the beautiful black hair, and a frown on the face... A frown??

"Hello there, can you get up??." He asked in a very deep voice. That was when I realized that I was lying down, in his arms. I tried to get up, wishing to explore the heaven, with him, my Lord.

That is when I felt the pain in my head, and then something heavy fell on me, forcing me to close my eyes and escape into the darkness...

***************************************

".. ..........No mom, that is impossible, you are going to listen to me for once now, I'll leave you there, get freshen up, I'll pick you up when I'm done with the girl, and after that we will go to that house." I was jerked to sound of yelling.

And the voice sounded familiar, just like, oh.. The Lord. I fluttered my eyes open, but there was no clouds this time, no wind and no sun. Panicking, I search for my Lord. But all I could see was a dark roof, that looked familiar like the inside of a car.

"Fine cherry, but promise me you'll be back soon. This alliance is my last hope." This wasn't my Lord, it was a female voice, coming from somewhere behind me. I tried to look behind, and as soon as I did, I regretted it as I felt a scorching pain on my forehead.

This cannot be heaven. This definitely cannot be heaven. Then where an I??

"Mom, please don't be ridiculous, you know that even if we go meet them, my answer would be a no. I told you, I don't believe in all this. It is not going to happen anytime soon."

It was him again, the lord. I tried to remember anything I could think of. Mom, dad, Rithu, Shikha... Shikha. Yes I was with her. I tried to think of everything and all of it came one by one. Shikha, Vireena, the offer, the promise I gave Amma. The car speeding towards me.

"Karthika, we'll talk about this later. Let's take care of the girl first, the rest can come later." Said a another man.

So Karthika must be the lady in the car other than me. And He is not the lord, he is cherry. And the girl they are taking about must be me.

I tried to sit up, refusing the pain in my head. " Ex.. excuse me." I tried to say.

Everyone turned to look at me, an old lady, in her late 50s, who must be Karthika, since there was no other lady except us. An elderly man, probably papas age. He must be the ladies husband.
They were sitting behind me. I turned to the driver's side. And finally I saw him, my Lord. No, cherry. I slapped myself internally.

He stopped the car and looked at me. "Haa you are awake, uhm... Miss??" He looked at me questioningly, his deep brown eyes boring into mine. I immediately looked at the woman in fright.

"Where am I? Why am I here? And most importantly who are you people??" I shot the questions at them one after another. It was the lady who answered me.

"Relax don't worry, you had a small accident, but don't worry you are fine, and we are taking you to the hospital. My name is Karthika, this is my husband Haridas and my son Cherry." She said kindly, a smile on her face that helped me warm my worries.

"Its Charan." Said her son, rolling his eyes. I chose to ignore him. Suddenly I remembered my mothers promise and looked at my watch. But instead of the watch, I found a black cloth. I looked at myself. I was wearing a black coat. I looked again at the lady questioningly.
