Suchitra's pov.

Ohh my God!! My heart is beating so fast that I can't even process anything. Whatever happened in that temple is still going on in my mind. The thought of someone-a guy-holding me just like they show in TV serials, Korean dramas, and books. I'm imagining too much, but I think I got my real man.

Ohh hoo!!! Suchitra, again you started thinking like this!!! The guy just met you once, maybe he'll not meet you next time. He wasn't looking like he's a citizen here, maybe he's from another state. But whoever he was, from where he is, he was sweet, gentle, and kind. He was cute too. I could clearly see him. When his friends were teasing him and he was blushing like hell. And even when he caught me from falling there, I could hear his heartbeat. It was like he had run a marathon right then, and when I left, I saw him blushing. The cutest guy I ever met. Or else the guys I met just wanted to get in bed with me. But I'm not ready for that part of my life. To be physical with someone. But he-he is different.

I spent my whole night thinking of him. I wish I could know his name. But never mind. I was there in Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple, because it was my mother's favourite temple and Yesterday was her birthday. So to remember her we went there. She lives there in Kerala, so many time she went to that temple in childhood with her father until he was alive and after my grandfather's death she used to find peace on that Temple.

Next day I got ready for the day ahead. I wore my usual clothes, i.e., a simple top and a long skirt, and tied my hair with a claw in a messy bun. No need for makeup or a different hairstyle. I'm not a female lead of any book that I have to get ready in a heavy saree or do lots of makeup and wear tons of jewellery.

I saw my Appa making breakfast. I ran to the kitchen, took the spatula from him, and started to scold him.

"Appa, you're on leave, that doesn't mean you'll work. I'm cooking the breakfast, right? Then why are you doing it?"

"Aree Chelli, I thought you would have another work, so I should make breakfast."

(Chelli: dear/darling)

"Appa, I'll make it. You go and sit," I told him and took over the kitchen. Atya came into the kitchen while wiping her hands.

(Atya means bua, father's sister)

Actually, Anulaxmi Atya is our main maid. She has been working here since I was a kid, so I started to call her Atya. She raised me like a mother.

"Atya, done with cleaning?" I asked, and she nodded with a smile. Then we both made breakfast.

We all are in dinning table having our breakfast. Appa look at me and said "Subramanian said, he saw a guy for Our suchitra on that day right?"

My both Anna nodded giving appa full attention. I also stopped eating.

*He said they are coming tomorrow to see our Suchitra"

"Appa!! Isn't it to early?" I asked cause I don't want to get married in hurry and then will regret after marrying.

"Chelli, why are you worrying. We won't force if you don't like the guy, and anyways it just a meeting, A family friendly meeting" Raghav Anna said with a warm smile and Aaditya Anna rub my back to calm me.

Day passed in jiffy.

Next day.

I got ready in green and golden orangish saree. Tuck gajra in my hairs, small net off necklace, small jhumka and little green bangles.

Ofcourse don't want to look like begger infront of them. I don't know why but my heart is beating so fast since morning.

I can feel an unknown excitement inside me. This never happened but it is happening now. I am feeling nervousness, excitement, Sadness everything. But I should feel this on my marriage day, Why nowwww!!!

I made crying face looking at the mirror. I'm in this room for 2 hours, The guest has came half an hour ago. My family were serving delicious food to guest.

I didn't saw the guy or anyone from his family. Suddenly the door got opened, Atya came inside and said "Chelli, are you ready?"

I look at her making cry face and shook my head. She hugged me and I started to cry on her shoulder like a baby. She Console me "Ohh my baby, It's okk, why are you feeling so nervous, it just the meet up. That's it"

Then pulled away from the hug, fix my hairs and said "listen, No one, No one can fix your marriage without your will. Understood?? No one will force you" I nod.

I'm being emotional because I'm leaving my father and brothers, I didn't taught to live without them. They never separate me from them. I worried, after my marriage How'll they manage. All this things were roaming in my mind, Eating me from inside.

I wipe my tears away, Atya helped me and then we both went downstair. I was looking down the whole way even after reaching too. Atya made me sit on sofa beside Raghav Anna.

I heard some whispering. Probably, guy's mother was Whispering to her son. After some time, I again heard a whisper.

"First you weren't looking up and now you're not even blinking your eyes."

I look up to saw....
