Ruhanika Pov.

I was scrolling through my phone when I got the text from some unknown stranger his user name was Aryan Anderson.But who is he I don't know him. I looked his profile picture carefully, he looks like some foreigner.

I sat up on my bed and while looking at his picture I thought have I seen him somewhere why he texted me and he also sent me a follow request but why he wants to be added in my followers.

I thought for a while but somewhere I was feeling to text him back. Why I want to text him back ...I don't know but I want to text him.

So I was about to text him but my mother called me.

"Ruhanika, dear come here, I need your help in the kitchen" my mom called me.

I kept the phone on my bed and walked towards the kitchen. She was cooking something so she wanted my help.

I was helping her but somewhere my mind was thinking about that stranger's text.

Why I am thinking so much about it. I felt frustrated from my thoughts.

After helping my mom I went back to my room and checked the phone. There was another text from him .

"hey, can we talk" he texted me

Why he is so eager to talk to me. I thought but I decided to text him back . Although somewhere my brain was stopping me but my heart overpowered my brain.

"hey" I replied to his text.

Within 10 min he texted me back.

"hey, how are you?" he replied

"who are you?" I said sternly

"I am Aryan Anderson, from New York, nice to meet you." he replied politely

"Okay, so why are you texting me" I asked

"May I know about you ..." he texted

My heart skipped a beat . Why, I don't know but my heart skipped a beat.

"Why you want to know about me " I asked hesitantly

"Why you don't want to tell me about you" he back questioned me

I was shocked like literally why he wants to know about me but I wanted to end the chat as soon as possible.

"I am Ruhanika Sharma from India. And I am not at all interested in telling you about me , Mr.Aryan" I said sternly. I just hope he can understand the exact tone I am speaking in.

"Ok then don't tell me about yourself, tell me about your country, Ruhi" he texted

The moment I read Ruhi my heart skiped a beat . It was different feeling. No one gave me this Nick name before. My friends used to call me Rooh but this was different but I don't want any nick name from any stranger I thought and said sternly.

"I don't want to tell you about my country either. And my name is Ruhanika not Ruhi."

"oh so you are offended, Ruhi " he texted back with some laughing emojis

I don't know what his toneis but I think he is teasing me. My mind was telling me to block him and not text him ever again but my heart was somewhere stopping me . I was it I don't know why but I was liking it.

But still I decided to not text him. And wait for his next reply.

---------------------------------------------------------

Aryan Pov

I was sitting in the club but honestly I was not enjoying it at all. I drank a glass of cocktail.

I was just scrolling through some social media and I came across a girl's profile. I don't know why but I really wanted to text her but somewhere I didn't want to text her too

So, after a mental war between my heart and brain my heart won the war.

And I texted her "hey". Which she ignored I guess. But after an hour I texted her for which she replied and we begain chatting.

Somewhere I was liking the way she was talking to me. Normally if any other girl would have talked to me in that tone I would have blocked her. But I don't know why I'm not feeling bad or something.

And the moment I gave her nickname Ruhi she texted me to not give her this name. She sounds like she is offended. I smiled while reading her text.

Suddenly Sam came and stood beside me. He asked for drink from the bartender. He turned towards me and saw me smiling.

"Why are you smiling bro" he said in a doubtful tone

I kept my phone in the pocket hurriedly. I didn't wanted to tell them anything about Ruhi I mean Ruhanika.

I shook my head and stood up and said "Nothing, it was some meme, nothing else"

"Or you were talking to any girl...?" he asked by lifting up his eyebrows and looked at me suspectly

I was about to say something but before that a girl came towards me and she touched my cheeks with her index finger.

She pulled me towards her and came close to my ears and said

"hey, handsome can we spend a night together. I'll make sure to suck you like a good slut" she said in seducing tone

But honestly I was not getting seduced I was feeling disgusted. I took her hands from my cheek and pushed her gently away from me and said

"I'm not into these things you can ask to someone else"

Her expression shows disagreement. And she again tried to come close to me but before that Sam pulled her towards him and kissed her

I can see that  they both were literally eating each other's mouth infront of me. But I was not at all interested in them .I just wanted to continue my chat with Ruhi

They pulled back .that girl was panting heavily. I looked at Sam in a questioning look.

Hey beautiful girl, my friend is not interested in all these stuffs be my slut for a night. He winked to me and walked towards the room with that girl

I gave him an uninterested look . And walked towards the exit. I was never into one night stand stuffs. Yeah I kissed a few girls but now I don't want anyone.

I called the cab and went back to home my phone was discharged. So as soon as I reached home I connected my phone to the charger and went to the washroom to freshen up.

---------------------------------------

Ruhanika Pov

I was thinking about that stranger's text. Why he wants to talk to me.and why he wants to know about me.Is he someone known to me..

It was almost midnight and I  was studying for my upcoming exam.

But my mind was somewhere busy in that stranger's text but I really wanted to avoid my thoughts .

I think now he'll not text. I was about to go to sleep .Suddenly a notification popped up on my phone screen

"I'm sorry I was a little busy that's why I was not able to text you" he texted me

It was his text but I read it from the notification bar. I wanted to open the text but still I stopped myself but again he texted,

" hey I'm sorry for leaving our chat in between can we talk" he texted

His tone was apological but I didn't wanted to text him back.

But again he texted "Ruhi please talk to me"

He was requesting me but why. And this nickname again. It's irritating me so I opened the text and said

"Don't you dare to give me any Nickname. And why are you so eager to talk to me"

"Accept my friend request, please" he texted

I was about to accept it but again I went back to chat box. And texted him

"Why are you so eager to talk to me? first tell me this" I said sternly

"First accept my request then I'll tell you"he texted back

I huffed and accepted his friend request but he didn't texted me anything so I said

"Now, tell me"

"You are beautiful" he texted

I was shocked for a moment and my heart  skipped a beat. I was just staring at his text. Because I never got complimented by any boy. It was very first time. And honestly I forgot about my question.

"Umm.. thank you" i said after coming back to reality

"Your eyes are beautiful " he said

My heart was beating at a very high speed. I calmed myself and replied

"Thank you"

But Then I realised that I have not seen his any other picture I have only seen his profile picture and he is seeing my all uploaded pictures so I decided to send him follow request.

And as soon as I pressed the follow request button. He sent me some pictures they can't be seen from notification bar.

I was scared to open it. Because I remember Nisha told me that some boys send their dick pictures to the random girls and somewhere I was a random girl to him.

But honestly I was not at all  interested in seeing his dick pictures

But I wanted to see what he has sended. In the meantime he accepted my follow request.

I decided to see his uploaded pictures first before opening those pictures which he sended me privately.

I visited his profile and then saw his pictures . Honestly he was handsome. He is having a beautiful almond eyes which can attract any girl. He looks pure and innocent.

But no he can't attract me . I will not be attracted towards him.

"hey, Now can you tell me about your country because I am sure you'll not tell me about yourself" he texted

I read it from the notification bar. So, I went back to the chat box and decided to see those pictures and as I opened it I sighed a relief that it was his own pictures. He must have clicked and directly sent it to me .

" why did you send me your pictures privately." I texted him

"You were not sending me the following request, that's why" he texted me

Oh... that's why he texted me. Uff Ruhanika you really think dirty things. I scolded myself.

"Umm... do you know anything about India?" I asked him

"Yeah , I mean no, but yeah my grandmother was Indian." He texted

"But you are American?And how your grandmother and grandfather met each other" I asked.

I was actually excited to know about their love story because normally it is not possible.

"No, technically I am Indo-American because my grandmother was Indian. Although I never visited India because my Grandmother died before my birth." He texted

"Oh...Um sorry I didn't know it" I texted

I really felt bad for him that he was not able to feel his grandmother's love.

"No no it's okay. And I don't know much about their love story but yeah my dad told me that my grandfather met my grandmother in college and they both fell in love and later married each other. You know my dad told me that my grandmother died when I was in my mom's belly and my name is also given by her only."

"That's great. Even their love story is nice" I texted him.

I think he is expressive. And his name is given by his grandmother who was Indian. Oh that's why he is having an Indian name.

We talked for a few hours with each other.

For some unknown reason I was liking his company and somewhere I was comfortable with him.

I told him many things about me, about my family, about my friends, everything.

He also told me many things related to him and his life. I guess he is talkative. Because he really speaks a lot .

Like this they talked with eachother for almost a month. Late night texts. Morning text everything. They used to share everything about their days.

Once Ruhanika asked him

"Why are we talking so much ...why are we sharing everything about our days. "

"Because we are friends" he texted back

---------------------------------------After a month,

Nisha and Ruhanika were in the cafe they both were enjoying their cold coffee.

But Ruhanika was busy in her phone . She was smiling and texting Aryan.

Nisha noticed it and asked in a teasing tone.

"Oho... Ruhanika you are busy in phone...and that too you are texting someone with this beautiful smiling face ..who is it is he someone special" Nisha said and slightly slapped Ruhanika's arms

"No no... It's no one special it's just a friend" Ruhanika smiled and kept her phone aside.

"Don't lie to me... You are my best friend I know about your smile. This smile is not normal. Okay tell me, who it's he or she" Nisha asked in exciting tone and shifted towards Ruhanika

"It's he... But i swear we are just friends nothing else, trust me Nisha" Ruhanika tried to explain her

Nisha lookes at her with shocking eyes and said

"Okay wait, You , I mean Ruhanika Ji is talking to someone and that to a boy with a smiling face and YOU, I mean YOU are telling me it's just a friend" Nisha said by point her index finger towards Ruhanika

Ruhanika nodded her head innocently

"You are lying to me. You are in love, it's just you are not telling me. How mean you are , you didn't told your  best friend about it" she fake cried

"There's nothing to tell you about. We are just friends" Ruhanika said in a begging tone

"Okay, at least tell me about him" Nisha asked in a exciting tone

"Um he is Aryan , he is from New York. And he is ONLY my friend." Ruhanika told her politely

"Wait what ... He is from New York. You mean New York.. USA wala New York" Nisha asked with shocking look

"Aur koi wala bhi New York hai kya. Obviously that New York only" I said in irritating tone

( Is there any other New York too)

"Okay so you are in love with him" she said confidently

"When I said this?"Ruhanika asked

"I am telling you this . Be aware of your feelings my stupid...Ruhanika ji" Nisha said

And lightly patted my head.

"Ho...how do you know" Ruhanika asked hesitantly

"Your smile told me everything" Nisha said.

---------------------------------------------------------

Ruhanika Pov

I came back to my home with lots of questions running in my head. I went to my bedroom and locked the door and stood up in front of mirror and asked to myself

"Ruhanika do you like his company..Yes obviously I like his company"

"You like talking to him or spending time with him.. obviously I do"

"You want to spend your maximum time with him... obviously yes"

"Are you falling for him.. obviously ye..no no no I am not falling for him or am I falling for him ah...I don't know "

Nisha told me to do this question answer session with myself to know my feelings about him..

But how can I fall in love with someone without meeting him but I think I am falling for him.

---------------------------------------

Aryan Pov

I am talking to Ruhanika from almost one month. She is exactly a girl I want. I know somewhere it's a very big deal to fall in love without meeting the other person but damn this heart is falling for her.

I can say it was love in first site but after talking with her for almost a month I guess I have fallen for her deeply.

Although I didn't told her about my feelings because she is very innocent and maybe she doesn't likes me. I don't want to loose her at any cost.

My all friends know about her. Obviously, they found it once when I slept while chatting with her and my phone was On and those stupid people checked my phone and they got to know about her.

I really want to tell her about my feelings but what if she rejects me. I really don't want her to leave me or the worst to block me for any reasons

I was looking at her pictures how beautiful she is . Her eyes, her nose, her lips everything is perfect.

A notification popped on my phone screen. It's her text. I opened the text with a smiling face.

"hey are you there" she texted me.

"Yeah, I'm here . What happened " I asked.

I don't know but I think something is wrong. After chatting with her for almost a month I can understand her feelings by her texts

"Are we falling for each other" she asked.

I was shocked. Like seriously hatsoff to this girl I was not able tell her about my feelings and she is directly asking me .

"What?" I asked

I wanted to tell her about my feelings but first I wanted to know the reason behind her this question. Because as much as I know her she is a shy girl. She'll never ask this question directly, someone has definitely ignited the fire

"My f..friend said th..that I am falling for you. Trust me Aryan.. I don't know about my feelings. Bu..But she said that my smile shows that I am falling for you. Pl...Please don't think wrong about me. I'll make sure about my feelings and if by any chance it's love then I'll surly try to control that feeling " she said in a voice note

We used to do video calls or voice notes sometimes. So it was normal but this voice note where she was literally crying and those hiccups.

She was not able to speak properly. Her friend told her about her feelings. But why does she think I'll leave her and why will I think wrong about her when I am already in love with her.

I really wanted to hug her  tightly and tell her how much I love her but I can't... fuck this distance between us.

"Aryan please say something" she texted me

"Ruhi, calm down and take a deep breath.. why are you crying princess." I said and switched on the video call.

She accepted the call. Oh my God her teary eyes were killing me.

"Calm down, Ruhi. Drink some water, we'll talk about it later" I tried to console her

I wanted to tell her about my feelings but her teary eyes were literally not letting me think properly and I don't know what will be her reaction.

"Are you mad at me" she asked with those teary voice .

"No Ruhi . I am not at all mad at you first drink some water." I said

And she innocently picked ger water bottle and drank the few sips of it. Oh God she is so innocent

"I know you are mad at me. That's why you are not saying it" and she burst into tears again

I was feeling like someone has stabbed in my heart. How badly I want to break this fucking laptop screen and get inside it and hug my princess, my Ruhi

She was crying miserably she was thinking that I'll hate her because she is falling for me.

"Please tell me do you hate me" she asked in a defeated pleading tone.

"How can I hate you..."I asked with a sad smile

"You can, You have all rights to hate me" she said confidentally and a alone tear slipped her eyes.

I can see she was trying to control her tears . She was not looking at me .she was looking down just like a cute innocent baby

"I can't because I am already in love with you Ruhi" I said unknowingly lost in her innocent face

She looked at me with those beautiful shocked teary eyes and I came back to reality .

Her mouth was wide open and she kept her right hands over it instantly

"Yes Ruhi. I am in love with you from the first day I text you. But trust me it was not planned it just happened unknowingly. But trust me I love you. " I said confidentally

She was just staring at me in that position so I called her name many times but she didn't move. I guess she was freezed.  So I clapped to bring her back to reality.

She came back to reality and blinked her eyes twice

"Are...are you . I mean are you serious" she asked with shocking expression.

"Yes I am hundred and one percent serious. I am in love with you. I want you in my life. I want you as my friend, as my lover, as my wife as my everything." I said confidentally

Although I was shocked for myself I was never this confident for anything as I am confident for her and for my feelings.

"b..but you are American" she asked me or told me I don't know but she paused after that oh I got it

"Yes, I am American but trust me Ruhi, i am not like others I never fucked any random girl yeah I kissed few but from the day I met you I never touched any other girl". I tried to explain her

"But it's very long distance how we can be together" she asked me

" Just tell me do you love me? I don't care about distance" I said in a confident tone

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. she kept her right hands on her heart. As if she is trying to calm her heartbeat or maybe she was trying to understand her feelings for me.

Oh God please make her fall for me I really want her.  I want to be her's for forever.

She opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes were already swollen. she literally cried so much for me, my thoughts gets interrupted when she said

"I love you Aryan, I really do"

Ah my heart .. my heart is literally running at its full speed. I can't believe..she literally loves me. I was looking at her.

"I can't imagine my day without you. I want to talk to you .. I want to be with you. Honestly I was never comfortable around any boys. But with you ..I really feel like I can be myself. I don't know what the future is holding for us but I really love you " she said with a teary eyes and  smiling face.

I wanted to hug her , I wanted to kiss her but fuck this distance .

I looked upwards towards the ceiling wall and said in a loud voice

"Grandma I know you are listening to me see I found your granddaughter-in-law and that too of your own country, you know she is exactly what I wanted"

And I gave a flying kiss in air " i hope this kiss reaches you, I love you Grandma"

I looked at her she was just smiling and admiring my face .

"I love you,Aryan" she said with a smiling face And she gave me a. Flying kiss and that's it

I was freeze , shocked she literally gave me flying kiss . I can feel something in my stomach. Ah is it butterfly, do men gets butterfly. I don't know but she really made me feel something in my stomach.

She laughed looking at my shocking face and she turned off the video call.

Uff this girl , I touched my heart and lay down on my bed .

I really want to go to

India as soon as possible. I want to hug her, touch her, kiss her.

Ruhanika Pov

I don't know but I was feeling mixed feelings. On the one hand I was seriously very happy for being in a relationship and on the other side I was sad for being in long distance relationship.

Because in long distance relationship skin ships are not possible. We need to wait to meet each other.

Ah whatever it is I will wait to meet him.

I went towards the mirror and stood in front of it. I looked at myself. And oh my god I am looking so messed up my whole face is red maybe because of crying and my eyes are red and swollen.

I am literally looking scary. I washed my face but then I remembered how he confessed his feelings for me.  How he said that he is hundred and one percent sure about his feelings.

I looked in the mirror and damn I was smiling like seriously my whole face is drenched with cold water and I was smiling because of his beautiful words. If anyone sees me like this they'll definitely think that I am some stupid.

Hey, don't smile like this I scolded myself. But this smile is uncontrollable. I came back to my bedroom.

I lay down on the bed and opened his picture in my phone and caressed it lightly and said.

"I love you Aryan, meet me super soon, please"

And then I kept the phone and decided to sleep because tomorrow I have to tell Nisha about my relationship. She is the only one whom I can tell about and I really want to tell her.

---------------------------------------------------------

Next morning

Author's Pov

In the college

After taking the class Ruhanika directly walked towards Nisha's classroom.

Nisha and Ruhanika were best friends but they were having different subjects. That's why their classrooms were different.

As soon as Ruhanika saw Nisha she ran towards her with a big smile on her face and hugged her tightly.

"I am in Love Nisha. I am in love" Ruhanika said by jerking Nisha towards her.

"Calm down.. Calm down, Miss lover let's go to the cafeteria. And then tell me everything about it" Nisha said excitedly while controlling Ruhanika. And they both walked towards the cafeteria.

In Cafeteria

"Hm so now tell me everything in detail" Nisha said while sitting on the chair in front of Ruhanika

"I am in love" Ruhanika said with a big smile

"I know, and what about him" Nisha asked in a excited tone

"Yeah, we are in love. You know he said that he is hundred and one percent sure about his feelings" Ruhanika said with a smiling face

"And?" Nisha asked with an exciting questioning look

"And we both confessed about our feelings" Ruhanika said while nodding her head

"Okay great you both are in love. And?" Nisha looked with lots of excitement in her eyes

But Ruhanika was clueless what she wants to know so she asked

"And? And what" Ruhanika asked with a questioning look

"I mean did you both kiss each other... Okay no that's not possible it's long distance. So did you both did sexting?" She asked

Ruhanika looked at her in are you serious look but Nisha nodded her head and assured her by giving her a serious look

"No we didn't" Ruhanika said shyly

"Why you didn't... You both are in a relationship. You both should do these things. Okay tell me have you seen his dick" Nisha asked in an exciting tone

"NISHAA stop it.. I have not seen his .. I mean his that thing and it's not necessary to do sex or sexting in a relationship. " Ruhanika said shyly but in a confident tone

Nisha was about to interrupt but Ruhanika showed her hands and continued in a confident tone

"I believe in doing these things after marriage only and I am sure he also thinks the same thing because he never talked with me about these things"

Again Nisha was about to say something but Ruhanika stood up and  picked up her bag while saying

"And don't think too much my dear Friend. Let's go to the class otherwise your dirty brain will definitely think of any other stupid thing"

Ruhanika started walking towards the exit of the cafeteria and Nisha stood up hurriedly and ran towards her to match her speed and said while walking

"It's normal in a relationship, you both can do many things although it's a long distance relationship but still there are many things which you both can do. "Nisha tried to explain her but Ruhanika didn't show any interest in her talks

"Your Aryan can make you cum from there also. You both only need some sex toys that's it" Nisha said in one breath and ran towards her class

"Nishaaa,  I'll kill you" Ruhanika screamed with a flustered face.

Ruhanika was about to go towards her but bell rang and it was time for another class so she huffed and walked towards her class

---------------------------------------------------------

Aryan Pov

I was so happy. I am in love. I have seen people in love but never imagined that I'll be in love with someone and that too online.

But honestly she is so pure, she is so innocent .Her eyes are literally so beautiful so deep but yesterday, when she was crying I was really feeling like breaking the laptop screen and getting inside it and hugging her tightly

My baby, My Ruhi was crying and helpless me, I was just looking at her.

Oh God I am so helpless I want to go to her. As soon as possible, now I can't control myself. Now when I came to know that she is in love with me I really want to go there. Obviously, I have all the rights to meet her after all we love each other.

But, I love an Indian girl that means I have to learn her language too because I have to talk to her family and I don't want her to be my personal translator.

She told me about her family they are very loving. And the most important point is that she loves them a lot so in this condition I should also love and respect her family which I already do.

I was in college and I wanted to tell my friends about her. Although they already know everything about her. But yesterday we confessed our love so I want to share my happiness with them

Sam, James ,Rayn and I are just like brothers. We share everything with each other.

After college we have decided to go to the beach there I'll tell them everything about my relationship

---------------------------------------------------------

Author Pov

At beach

All the friends were enjoying themselves on the beach.They were playing in the water .

Aryan was sitting and taking the sun bath when his all friends came and lay down beside him

"So how's your relationship lover boy" Sam asked in a teasing tone.

Aryan sat straight and said with a big smile on his face

"Yeah, I was going to tell you all about it. You know I am in love" Aryan said happily with a big smile on his face and looked towards his friends

But their faces were expressionless. Aryan was expecting them to smile, laugh, tease or show some reaction but they didn't give any reaction.

Aryan slapped their arms and said irritatingly "heyyy guys at least smile ..I am in love, you all are not happy or what"

Sam, James and Rayn were giving him a bored look.

"We already know that you are in love. We have been listening to this for more than a month now tell us about her. Is she in love? " Rayn asked in a boring questioning look

Aryan looked at them and said in an exciting tone with a big smile on his face

"Yes, She is in love with me. We confessed our feelings yesterday"

In a speed of light they all sat up straight and looked at Aryan

"It's not a prank right" Sam asked with a smiling face

"No it's not a prank. She told me that she loves me" Aryan said happily

They all stood up and hugged Aryan tightly. They were so happy for him that they literally fell on the ground while hugging each other because of their happiness

They all sat straight after their hugging session.

"who confessed first" James asked excitedly

"she asked me that are we in love with each other " Aryan said with a blushing face

"Are you serious, she asked you" Sam asked with a  shocked expression

Aryan nodded his head innocently

"Damn I am already liking this girl . Usually girls don't ask first it's our duty to ask them. But our shy lover boy is lucky that he got someone better than him" Sam said and laughed teasingly

"No no technically she asked first but I was the one who confessed first" Aryan said with a smiling face

"Tell us everything about it what exactly happened we want to know " Rayn asked excitedly

Aryan told them everything happened yesterday, her crying and telling him all that stuff and then how they confessed their feelings he told them everything

All the boys were happy for him because Aryan was the most shy and innocent boy in their group.

After sharing everything they were sitting and enjoying the sunset.

"I want to enjoy this sunset with her" Aryan said while thinking about her

"For that you need to go to India" Sam said and patted his arms lightly

Aryan said while thinking about her "I want to go to India as soon as possible . I want to hug her, I want to kiss her, I want to touch her"

"And?" James asked teasingly

"No bro she is not that type of girl. I am damn sure she will do those things after marriage only" Aryan said confidently

"She is exactly like you" Sam said while looking at Aryan.

Aryan smilled and nodded his head shyly

All boys laughed by seeing Aryan's shy reaction just by the mention of her name he is all shy and his cheeks were also red that means he was blushing too

---------------------------------------------------------

Author Pov

They both were happily in the relationship. They both used to share and talk about everything they want or expect for their future.

They both were imagining their married life. They both just wanted to meet each other as soon as possible

They were having different time zones but still they used to manage to send each other good morning and good night texts according to each other's country time

They both were craving for each other's touch . They wanted to feel each other, hug each other

Ruhanika was in love with him deeply without thinking about family , caste, religion or anything which can ruin their relationship completely.

And on the other hand, Aryan was ready to cross every limit for her. He was completely in love with her.

---------------------------------------------------------

After two months

Ruhanika Pov

I came back from college while chatting with Aryan. I was smiling and talking with him, he was asking me to teach him Hindi, my language I was feeling happy that he wanted to learn my language.

I didn't see my Aunt and mom who were sitting in the living room because I was looking at my phone. My room is attached to the living room which means if I want to go to my room I have to go from the living room.

"Kya dekh rahi ho beta phone mein" my aunt asked me suspiciously.

(what are you seeing dear in your phone)

As soon as I saw her, I quickly kept my phone in the pocket and walked towards her

"Namaste Aunty, I'm sorry I didn't see you" I said with a smiling face

"Oh ...It's okay dear, no problem come here sit beside me" she said and pulled me on the couch beside her

I sat there comfortably. Her name is Suman. She aunt is very Frank and friendly with me.

"Ab toh badi ho gayi ho ... Ab toh aapki bhi shaadi ho jayegi." she said while looking at me with a smiling face

(Now you are a grown up girl now you will also get married)

"h..how can I marry I am still very young Aunty" I said hesitantly  with a fake smile

because the only thing came in my mind was Aryan. How can I marry someone else when I love Aryan. But the next thing she said made me shocked

"Or do you love someone else. See if you do you can tell us, ha" she said and laughed while looking at my mom whereas my mom passed a death glare to her

"Ruhanika go and change your dress. You just came back from college, go freshen up and come back for lunch, hm" my mom said in a strict tone

I just nodded my head and picked up my bag and walked towards my room. My mind was completely engrossed in his thoughts and now this marriage thing , which means I have to tell my parents about him as soon as possible.

While going towards my room I heard my mom talking about something but the next word of my mom shattered me completely. I stopped at my steps and I felt like my heart stopped beating.

"Meri beti love marriage nahi karegi, Suman . Usko apne pariwar ki izzat ka lihaaj hai. Vo Aisa koi kaam nahi karegi jisse uske pariwar ki izzat per koi aanch aaye. Aur Aaj ke baad ye sb usse mt bolna" my mom said proudly

( My daughter will not do love marriage, Suman. She respects her family's dignity and she'll not do anything which can affect our respect or dignity. And from now onwards don't talk about these things to her)

"What happened dear" I heard my aunt's voice

"N.. nothing aunty. I..I was g..going" I said and hurriedly walked towards my room

As soon as she walked inside the room she closed the door and locked it from inside and  walked towards the bed and sat on the floor. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"h...how can I do this. h..how can I be s..so selfish. H

...how can I forget about my parents m..my family. how can I..."

She was murmuring to herself in a low voice. Her tears were falling continuously. She was not able to think about anything her mind was continuously echoing her mother's words.
