Third person pov :

Next day , Rishi went to Ritu's home with his whole family for asking her hand. When they entered inside Rishi's dad face lost his all color as the house wasn't big like their mansion.

All the time an express of disgust was on Rishi's father's face. Which Ritu's parents didn't see as they were too happy for their daughter.

"Welcome in our home mr. Shikhawat."

Ritu's father cheerfully greeted them . In return mr. Shikhawat only nodded like saying a single word will waste his time. Ritu's father didn't know the reason of his cold behavior. So he great Rishi ,who came forward and touched his feet to take blessing. Ritu's father impressed by his gesture and then finally gave his attention to Ridhi. Who greets him by a namaste with a polite smile while joining her both hands.

A

fter greeting each other they sat on couch. So they can talk each other before fixing their children's wedding.

Soon Ritu came with tea and placed it on table after that she greeted Rishi's father with a nervous smile as she was hell nervous.

Rishi all the time looking at his phone. When he felt a little shake on his right arm . He looked towards his sister, who was pointing towards Ritu.

He got confuse and looked towards the direction where she was pointing. When he saw ,who was in front of him . He smiled looking at the person.

She was looking a true beauty in her simple creamcolor suit with red dupta ( veil) on it.

Although, Ritu was beautiful in her own way but still Rishi wasn't feeling anything rather than attraction.

Love was the last thing ,he want in his life. So marry someone like Ritu wasn't big deal for him . After all one day he also had to marry someone . SO Ritu was a right choice to him

"We should fix their engagement date."

Rishi's father suddenly spoke as he didn't want to spend another minute here as he was feeling suffocated while pretending to be nice in front of them.

It was a deal for him. So why he will waste more time to complete it.

Ritu's family confused by sudden demand as for them it was too soon. Moreover they didn't even ask their daughter about her opinion.

"We want to know our daughter opinion before deciding anything. "

Finally Ritu's father said after collecting his courage. It was silent for a while until Rishi broke it.

"I also want to know Ritu opinion before fixing anything after all we have to spend our life together. "

Ritu's father became happy after hearing it as well as Ridhi. Who also wanted to know her friend opinion about this proposal as she couldn't ask her before.

" I'll take Ritu garden "

She announced after getting up from her place and held her hand to take her outside, who was feeling hesitated to follow her.

"Ridhi...i don't want ! What i would say.."

She questioned feeling hell nervous at that time.

"Shhhhh.. dear. Why are you so nervous. It's not like, you don't know my brother. "

"Yes.. but we don't meet like this before. Moreover he was my friend's brother before but now... everything's changed suddenly. "

Ritu told reason of her nervousness ,made Ridhi nodded in understanding.

:I can understand. But think it as a positive way. You can talk freely to him as you know him before and he will also hear you and your wishes. "

Her words were helping her to calm a bit and then Ridhi saw her brother was coming in their direction.

"He is coming.. good luck "

She whispered made her blush a bit and then she went to her brother.

"I easy half of your work, bro. Now it's up to you. How will you convince her."

She winked and left her brother there. When she was going to enter inside. She saw a familiar face on road. Who was none other than Veer himself.

Why he is here...

She thought while looking at him in horror. When their eyes met, he smiled at her , made her doubt clear that he has come here for her.

( if you read my first book . Then you would have idea about what will happen, so I'm not writing it again. If you don't then go there and read)

.

Ritu was playing with her fingers whole time, as she was feeling nervous at the time.

"I think, you don't have anything to say me. So I should go back "
Rishi spoke breaking the silent of environment and suddenly she shouted a big no ,made him chuckled slightly.

"Relax.. I'm not going anywhere. I just want you to speak before someone calls us and our talks end before even start. "

His comment embarrased her and she starred looking at the ground feeling shame to show fool herself in front of him.

" You don't need to feel embarrassed. I know you talk less with boys. But we are here for our further. So you can ask.. even share anything to me if you have..."

He added last part while recalling about Rahul incident as he really wanted to know her real relationship with him.

She nodded and thought from where should she start.

"I.. I'm not ready for this marriage. "
Rishi didn't blink and waited patiently to hear her completely.

"It's so soon for me. I'm not even enough mature to understand this relationship. Maybe I wouldn't become a perfect wife for you."

"There is no one perfect in this world, Ritu and about you being perfect wife. Then I need a life partner not a servant, who does his job perfectly. "

His words were gentle and he was even hearing her calmly without showing any disrespect, for it she was glad but she didn't want to marry soon , not because of a threat given by Rahul.

Her decision and dreams were big than her fear and she didn't want to sacrifice them. Although she wants marry someone gentle like him one day. But that was far away .

" Is there any other reason of your no ? Or a boyfriend?"

Rishi asked when he didn't get any answer. I mean he was trying his best to impress her but she wasn't even saying a yes. For god sake he has plenty of girls in line for waiting to hear his yes and that girl is taking to much time.

But she isn't someone, who judge people from their looks and money.

His conscience spoke and he completely agreed but wanted to hear her yes in anyway.

"There's no one in my life. But my dreams..."

" it will be my dreams for now and I can assume you that I will help you fulfill them."

He replied cutting her middle. But she was still silent as she doesn't believe him completely. So he stood up from his place, made her stand as well.

"I know you don't know me personally but for me my words are more important than my life. But I can understand it was hard for you to trust me. So I'm willing to wait to hear your yes. No need to rush.

After saying this he went inside to announce his decision to his dad.
