Preeti's point of view 

It's been a week now when I and Siddharth engaged. Alway a smile came on my face whenever I think about him and my cheeks became red when I thought about a kiss.

Though this is early to kiss but I like it. I always thinks about him like what he is doing right now, is he eat his food on time, is he also thinking about me too etc.etc.

When I told kshama about Siddharth and my engagement she became over excited about my marriage. I also showed her my engagement photos.

Siddharth looked very handsome in every picture. Almost every night I looked at those photos especially him. In every picture he us looking at me with a glint in his eyes. In some picture he was grinning himself while looking down.

Once at Night I googled about him and read all articles about him like how he became a successful businessman in a  business world. I know its been a hard for him to make his own image. Being a son of successful businessman its hard for him to make his own image in everyone's eyes.

I even stalked him in Instagram and tweeter. It's  not a surprise he had huge fan following, especially girls. I didn't follow him, I just looked his pictures and read the captions under every picture.

He is looking like a Hollywood actor in every picture. He posed in every picture like he is favouring on photographer.

In one pitcture he was standing at the beach with his two friends and the caption under it is

'three davils back in the city.'

..and he tagged it with his two friends Nick and James.

I chuckled reading the caption.

He mostly posted a motivational pictures but some of them with his family and friends.

"When will you start of your wedding shopping. " I came out from my chain of thoughts by kshama when she asked me about shopping. 

Currently we are sitting in a canteen of our office, having lunch. 

"Don't you think this is too early for a shopping. I mean I have 5 months for shopping." I asked her biting my sandwich.

Kshama Shaked her head in a disappointment.

" Forget that, you never change, will you." She asked my while sipping her coffee. 

"No". I replied her with a grin.

" So tell me when he will come to India to meet you again." She asked me with a excitement.

"I don't know" .I  said while  sipping my orange juice.

"Why? Don't you ask him on phone?" She asked me narrowing her eyes. 

"Actually I don't have his Mobile number. He didn't ask me mine so I didn't ask him as well " I sheeplesly smile to her.

" Tumhara kuch nhi ho Sakta.( You are hopeless)" kshama said and get up from her seat because lunch time is over.

"Hey..festive season is about to start in a month or two. So will you fast for him." Kshama asked me while washing her hand in washroom combed  her hair with her fingers.

"What fast..?" I asked while wiping  my hand with my dupatta.

"Karwachoth idiot.." she said while facing me and wiped her hands with my dupatta.

"Karwachoth..?" I looked at her dumbly.

"Yes, Karwachoth.. You will fast for him for his long age and pray hod that he will come India to meet you." She said while opening the door of washroom.

"You know, in our culture I can't gast for him before marriage.  What will mummy said." I said while following her behind.

"Arre... so who told you to tell your mother. Do you want to fasting for him or not?" She asked me sternly.

I want too. I want to do fast for him, for his long age. 

I lowered my head and nodded shyly. My cheeks turned red immidately and I bit my lower lip to cantrol it.

"That's my girl. I will bring all the information about the fast and we willgo shopping for your first Karwachoth." She said excitedly.

"No need of this. Every year  I saw mummy to do that. I know how to do it. But how I will opened the fast?" I asked her.

"Leave that on me." She said.

I nodded my head. No one knows what is going in her head. I shake my head on her and started working.

........................................................................

I want to talk to Siddharth, I want to ask him what he is doing right now. I know he is sleeping right now because India has different time zone to USA. India is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead to USA.

I did not ask his phone number because I am a girl and it didn't look good if I asked his phone number first. He could ask me but he didn't may be he is hesitating to ask me but he could ask my phone number to his mother or sister. Yhey had my Phone number.

May be he doesn't want to talk to me.

I came home at 7.00 p.m. Mummy is talking to my Mami ji (maternal uncle's wife) on phone. Papa is not return home yet from his shop. I greet her and went to kitchen to making tea for her and myself. Our home become lonely again after everyone leaves. I went to my room and after taking shower I changed into my PJ's and start study.

Ring....Ring 

Ring...Ring 

I smiled lioking at the caller Id. Only she knows how to annoy me at night.

"Hello.." I said while picking up the phone.

"I gound the solution.." Kshama said on other line.

"Of what?" I asked her while closing my books.

"About your fasting Karwachoth for your would be husband." She said.

My cheeks turned pink when he talked about him and called him my would be husband.

"Stop blushing..now hear out the plan."

How does she know I was blushing.

"My mom and dad will visiting my mama ji (maternal uncle) at Karwachoth festival and they will be there for three days. So you will yell you mother that you will be staying at my home for three days because I will be alone at home. And then you can fasting your Karwachoth for your husband easily." She said.

"Sounds good." I said while chuckling.

She always have a solution of every problem.

"I know I'm great no need to thank." She said with a proud smile.

"Okey now I have to go. I am sleepy.  Good night and gave dreams about your husband." She said and cut the call.

I chuckled and put the phone aside and lied on the bed. I know when sleep engulfed me with him in my mind.
