5. Decision

Preeti's point of view 

I want to know you.

What if the person is not judging you but wants to know you and feeling the same emotions which you are feeling right now.

His words echoed in my mind again and again. No one wants to know me because there is nothing interesting in me, then what he saw in me that he wanted to know about me. 

I am just a plane and simple girl who always wants to keep her thoughts to herself so no one can judge her or mocked her. 

I am afraid to let out my thoughts because I know there are many people who are intelligent then her and could have laugh at her stupid thoughts because it happens with her often so she keep her thoughts to herself.

But when he said I want to know you. It felt like, we are not talking about our future, it was like, he really wants to know me, The real me. 

He wants to hear my thoughts without judging me or laughing at my thoughts. 

Is it possible, a person feel the different warmth from the complete stranger in their very first meet. Because if it is possible I am feeling the same warmth from him. 

In a very first time in my life someone  wants to know me.

"You asked him, what you want to ask..." I came out from my thoughts  when Shivani di asked me.

I was standing in my room's balcony   when di asked me. 

I nodded my head slowly while looking outside.

" So how's he?" shivani di asked me coming to the balcony.

"He is nice and honest too." I said while looking outside at the tree far which is two streets away from our house.

"Do you like him?" She asked me. 

'Do i like him..?' I asked myself..

No one make me feel that way. May be because I didn't interact with boys that much in my life. It is not because I don't like them or I afraid of them. 

It just that the incident in my school affected me badly. 

When I was in twelfth grade I had a huge crush on a boy. He was my classmate and I admired him from afar because I never have a courage to confessed my feelings to him.

Whenever he talked to me, smile never leave from my face whole day.

He was dating my cousin Riki. I know they are not serious about thier relationship, just passing time with eachother. But I didn't had any problem with that. It's thier life and they can fo anything.

But one day when one of my closest friend, who knew about my crush, betrayed me and tell everything to Riki.

Riki and her boyfriend create a seen infront of whole class and mocked me, laugh at me, hummilate me. 

Later that day after school she told about that to my parents and I got scolding from my whole family and earned a slap from my mother.

After that day I cried whole week and decided I will never talk to any boy and never make friends.

This also affects me in my college life and office also. Except for kshama I don't  have any friend.

But when I meet Siddharth, he make me feel respected and comfortable. He doesn't care if I failed in government exams and not intelligent like others or him. 

He knew I was nervous and didn't hide his nervousness as well. He honestly told me about his previous life, his playboy thing.

Even knowing that it may affect my decision he told me everything. He didn't hide anything from me.

Isn't it enough proof of his honesty and enough proof of me that he is the one for me. We both deserve a chance. 

I nodded my head as yes.

"Is that a yes from your side?" she asked me again holding my hands in hers.

"Yes.." I whispered softly while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. 

I smiled and lower my head try to hide my blush. She laughed and take me in a warm hug.

Mummy come to my room happily

"Shivani, Preeti, they said 'yes' to Preeti. They liked Preeti so much, they want to make preeti their daughter in law as soon as possible. What is your decision Preeti." mummy asked me. 

"Maa.. she said 'yes' too." Shivani di said with a huge smile on her face. 

Mummy happily huged me and kissed on my forehead.

"I will tell eveyone about your decision." 

With that mummy leave from the room.

Third person point of view.

Everyone was very happy to know that Preeti and Siddhath say 'Yes' to eachother. 

Akhil (sid's father), and Malhotra ji (mutual friend of both family) come to Ramesh (preeti's father). 

"Ramesh ji as you know both kids say yes to eachother and we return to NEW YORK  tommorow morning. I want to say that my family want to do a rokka and ring ceremony today. We want to make preeti our daughter in law as soon as possible after that when you want, we will come with Baarat." Akhil asked Ramesh hopefully.

"Akhil ji this soon how we prepared everything"Ramesh said with a little panic in his voice.

"Ramesh ji we don't want anything big. Just give Siddharth a rupee and a cocunut and make him yours in presence of all family mambers." Akhil said to Ramesh with joining his hand together.

Ramesh hold Akhil's joining hand and said "Okay.. as you say."

On the other side Siddharth is very happy to know Preeti's decission.

He was little worried about his confession Preeti might be say 'no' to him. 

But when her mother announced her decision, he was the happiest person in the room.

Siddharth never forget the moment when he first time saw Preeti. His heart stop beating. He forget to take breath. He never saw a girl like Preeti before. She looked beautiful in red net anarkali. He did not take his eyes off to her, he know that she is nervous, she only saw him when they were alone.When she looked him he get lost in her chocolaty brown eyes and when she blushed it took his breath away.

When he said her to ask him anything, her reply to him ' you told me everything and I trust you'. That moment Siddharth knows that Preeti is the one, she will be her future wife. He can directly saw into her soul. She is pure, innocent and beautiful.

"Soo..Preeti is going to my Bhabhi (sister in law)." keerti asked Siddharth mockingly.

"yes" siddharth whispered while  smiling to himself.

"you'r lucky to have her I met her in person and she is very nice and sweet."keerti said.

.

"I know." Siddharth whispered while sipping his coffee and lost in her thoughts.

"Do you want to meet her again?" keerti asked. 

Siddharth impatiently waiting to see preeti again and wants to meet her.

" Is that possible?" asked Siddharth to keerti curiously, now taking intrest in her talks.

"Nothing is impoible for me bhayi (brother). " keerti said while raising the imaginary collar of her top.

"okay.. wait a minute." keerti said while looking around.

Keerti stand from the couch  in which Siddharth and she were sitting.

" maa... Sid bhayi wants to meet preeti bhabhi again."keerti said loudly to her mother loudly. 

Siddharth chocked on his coffee and looked at his sister shockingly.

"What are you doing?" Siddharth pulled keerti's hand and make her seat again on the couch. 

" Telling mother that you want to meet bhabhi again." keerti said while shrugging her shoulders. 

" No, I don't want to meet her, now shutup and sit down." Siddharth said while glaring at her.

Keerti is the youngest one in Kapoor's  family and persuing her graduation in fashion designing from NEW YORK.  She is always  a pain in ass in for siddharth and love to annoy him but siddharth could not say anything to her because she had her parents in her side and  siddhart love her also so much so that he let her annoy him. She is a little devil for him.
