AARANYA'S POV:
It was yet another bright sunny day when i opened my eyes and heard my dad(Mr. Harshit Shrivastav) shouting on someone. I stood up and went downstairs and found my dad arguing on phone with someone.
"That's final! nothing can be done anymore" my dad said with a final sigh and kept his phone inside his pocket. "Gosh! what happen Dad? Why are you shouting so early in morning? I was quietly sleeping after yesterday's hectic night of completing my project. " I said whining.
"Aaranya Di! Dad's business is in loss and that's why he is angry" Shiv explained.
"Oh hey dear.. you are up. Should i prepare breakfast for you? You might be tired right?" Pooja chachi said.
"No chachi.. I will first freshen up and where is ma?" I said walking upstairs to my room.
"Badi ma(Ms. Aashi Shrivastav) went to buy some vegetables" Nitya said following me to my room.
"BTW Aaranya di, don't you feel we should put your paintings for auction? I mean see how beautiful they look" NItya said pointing towards my balcony where all my paintings were kept safely in a glass showcase. "Don't you dare Nitya!!! I love these paintings and i don't want to sell them off to someone in exchange of money. For me, they are much more valuable than money" I said while glaring at Nitya.
"Now, go downstairs and help chachi. I am also coming downstairs after getting ready and also i have to go somewhere for work." I said
"Where?" Nitya questioned with curiosity.
"I have a client and he wants me to design the architecture of an NGO as he is opening a NGO in the name of his mother and also he wants me to design the interior of that NGO afterall i am the best architect." I said while flipping my hair and took my clothes and shut the door of bathroom to take my precious bath cause today is my bubble bath day.
Twice in a week I always take bubble bath to calm my mind and have a soothing experience of bathing... And today is that day.
After bath i was drying my hair until i got a call from my Senior Architect friend.
"Hello?" I said while applying lotion on my body and massaging it gently for moisturization."Aaranya! when are you coming? The client will be arriving in an hour." she said making my eyes go wide and realization hits me when i saw my clock.
IT WAS SHOWING WRONG TIMING!!! Gosh! i forgot that this clock wasn't working and it showed 9:00 AM. I need to hurry.
I cut the call and ran towards my wardrobe and wore my outfit... yeah, Crisp white shirt, tailored pants, short heels and diamond earrings gifted by me grandmother and went downstairs.
"Sorry Mom, but i can't do breakfast rn... I'll come in evening. I have a client to attend" I told Maa as she was shouting at Keev for putting some kind of chemicals on some veggies that she brought afterall Keev is a biochemist. "Sorry Badi maa, I was just performing Biuret test on the veggies to see if they actually have protein in them or the shopkeeper fooled you by selling you some veggies that are rotten or don't have proper protein" He explained to Maa and hid behind Agastya chachu.
"Keev! You shouldn't do it from next time" Agastya chachu scolded him trying to control his laugh. "Nevermind!" Maa sighed and went to kitchen to bring some porridge for me.
"I don't wanna eat mom i am really getting late and Chachu can you please change the cell of the clock of my room because of that i lost track of time" I explained.
"Why are you so careless Aaranya? Fine but do eat something at office ok?" Mom said showing fake anger on her face obviously.
"Wait Aaranya!" My dad shouted making me stop at the entrance of the door. I turned back and saw him standing beside the couch.
"Aaj tumhe ladke vale dhekhne aa rahe h to sham ko jaldi aana." He said making my jaw dropped and everyone in the house was also shocked by his sudden outbreak of my marriage.
(Translation: Today, some people are coming to see you for your marriage so come early in evening)
"Papa? aise kaise? Aapne mujhse pucha bhi nhi? Or dusri baat ki bhale hi ladke vale dhekne aare ho lekin aaj mujhe bhut kaam h to me late aungi sham ko. Or papa mujhe abhi shaadi nahi krni h filhaal me single hi thik hu. And that's final" I told them my decision.
(Translation: Dad? how come? You didn't even ask me? and another thing even if groom's side is coming to see me i won't be present cause i have so much work today. And I don't want to get married right now. I am happy single. And that's final)
"Aaranya behave! You can't deny my decision like that." my father scolded. "Agastya chachu! Maa! Why don't you make him understand? I don't wanna get married to someone i don't even know." I pleaded my chachu.
"He is not anyone. I know him and i know he will be the best partner for you Aaranya" My father said in a strict tone giving me goosebumps.
"Gosh, Dad i am getting late i won't be able to meet them, i am going and just remember i won't just marry him just because you know him i want a proper reason for accepting this marriage proposal" And with that i left for the office in the cab.
