Hello lovely friends & sis:
There is a happy news for you all. Our story ranks #3 in General Fiction (see in the top!! I have added the picture) As a fresher, It gives me immense pleasure. Though I am not good at English, you all have ignored the errors and gave full respect to the plot which is still unbelievable. Without your support nothing is possible. I thank each and everyone those who support the story including my silent readers. Continue your support and shower your blessings..

This chapter is almost close to reality....
Cast : Genelia as Neethu
Nia Sharma as Geethu (I feel Genelia and Nia Sharma looks like sisters)
Geetha as Neethu's mom
Prabu as Neethu's dad

Neethu's POV

"No mom, please. One month is more for completing the studies. After that, I need to work for two years, mom. I can't marry anyone now," I pleaded. I can't even imagine anyone in my life other than Rithick. I don't have enough courage to open up about my love. I trusted Rithick that he will help to sort out soon but my mom is compelling me for about two hours to marry a stranger. Nope! I can't.

"Neethu, we have chosen good pair for you. He Is working in BSNL, Central government employee, good character, looking smart, he will allow you to work even after the marriage & what else you want? Think twice Neethu. You have a younger sister too. So we can't delay your marriage, Neethu," my mom sighed.

"Mom, I can't marry anyone now..." almost I cried.

"Ok Neethu! Take your own time. Give me your positive response," mom said and went out. What will I do now? I sobbed. I took my mobile and called Rithick. The call was not reachable. Again I tried him several times, the effort went futile. I threw my mobile in bed furiously. I hugged my pillow and cried a lot.

My eyes started paining and became red due to continuous crying. I wiped off the tears and sit in the bed hugging my knees.

My phone rang, I urged myself to attend the call. It was not Rithick and I cut the call without answering. Again, I called Rithick, this time he didn't pick up the call. I tried more than twenty times. Where did he go? I cursed myself instead of cursing him.

I send a message to him,

"Rithick, my parents have fixed a pair for me. I tried a lot to cancel it but my parents are stubborn. What shall I do now? Reply me or call me at once you see the message. I miss you badly, Rithick," I stopped with few sentences and send the message.

I was looking at the mobile often, half an hour passed by.

"Neethu, Have your lunch" I heard mom's voice from kitchen. My sister went to college. Hopefully, I will become mad now. What will I reply? Tears rolled down from my eyes again. I wiped it away and walked towards the kitchen.

I sat on the chair. My mom gave me the lunch. I didn't feel hunger and my stomach was already filled with lot of emotions. I ate only two spoons.

"Mom! I will ate little later" I said and walked straightly to my room.

"What happened to you Neethu? Be cool for sometime. Trust us and we will do good for you. Only two years are more for your's dad retirement and before that we should finish your's and Geethu's wedding," mom sighed.

Yes! Mom is right. I can understand her feelings but I can't marry anyone other than Rithick.

I turned towards her, "Mom I didn't said that I won't marry. Give me some time at least till the complete of project work," I said genuinely.

"Ok Neethu, we shall arrange the marriage after one or two months as you said but let us keep an engagement function before that," she said shocking me.

What is going on in my life? Nope! I can't do it. What will I do now? Seriously, I am blank and I have nothing to say. I can't control my tears and I blinked my eyes often to control it.

"Give ...me....some.....time...." I stammered and ran towards my room. I closed the door. I pinned myself to the nearby wall and cried my heart out.

My phone rang, I wiped off my tears and took the phone. It was my Rithick. My lips smiled automatically.

"Rithick!" I controlled my emotions hardly.

"I am very busy here, Neethu. Sorry for not attending your call. Riya's marriage is fixed and only two weeks is more for her wedding. So we are busy in Shopping and activities related to Wedding," he said from other side. I could hear Rahul's and others voice too. Yup! He is very busy.

"Aww! Happy to hear about Riya's wedding. I miss you all Rithick. Do you know, here marriage talk is going on for me too? What shall I do now?" I said him worriedly but I didn't show in my voice.

"Neethu, I read your message that is why I called you immediately. No problem, don't worry about it. Try to open up about our love if they forced you a lot or else be quiet and I will convince your parents," he said in concern.

"Nope! I can't open up Rithick. I don't have enough strength to face my parents," I pleaded.

"Ok no problem. Don't stress yourself. I will come there within two days to pick you up. Tell something to skip it at least for a month," he said. His voice is not clear hopefully he was in driving.

"I tried that too Rithick," my voice was quivering this time.

"Try your best to convince them for at least a month. Even if they arrange a marriage for you, I am not ready to give you to anyone. So don't worry Neethu. I am busy now, I will talk to you later. Bye, take care," he said and ended the call.

His words gave me a small peace . My parents already fixed and waiting for me to tell Yes! They didn't give any other options. They are not ready to give me the space to choose my life too. I can't blame my parents too because they trusted me a lot that I will be ok with their decision. Now, what shall I do now to solve this issue at least for a month? I knew that the only way to end this problem is to open up my love but I can't do it. If my parents gave marriage promise to that family, I can't do anything after that. I can't bring down my family reputations. I can't see my parents getting shame and insult by others. The chain of random thoughts occupied me makes my head to spin. I will become mad if I think again and again. I laid in the bed and closed my eyes by without giving ear to my random thoughts.

"Akka, why are you sleeping earlier? Are you feel boring without me?" I heard my sister's voice. I looked around, darkness surrounded the room. I switched on the light. It was 7.15 p.m. I rubbed my face with my palm and gave a fake smile to Geethu who was standing in front of me.

I didn't tell anything to Geethu. Sometimes later, We had our dinner together with our dad. I didn't talk with anyone and ate silently.

"Neethu! Did mom inform you about the marriage proposal?" My dad started the topic again. I kept the food down in the plate.

"Yes dad," I told without looking him.

"Ok Good" my dad said with smile.

My sister looked at me blankly. I averted my gaze because tears occupied my eyes. I looked down to control it. My mom didn't talk to me much. After sometimes later, I and my sister came back to my room. I sat in the bed and my sister sat besides me.

"Akka! Did your presence is here?" She brought me back from my thoughts.

I gazed at her without replying.

"Akka! Why can't you at least try to stop the marriage? If our dad took a decision he will be stubborn. No one can change it. So that it is better to tell him before taking a decision" She asked me straightly. Yes! She said correctly. There is no more tears to shed in my eyes too. I sobbed. I told her everything that happened today.

"Akka! We didn't grow in a family to come up with our decision though our parents are liberal in other moves. They are strict when it comes up with our personal life. From your words it is clear that they took the decision already and for the sake they are informing us. Ask help from Rithick (brother in law). Don't worry akka. Your love is true. True love never ends," she tried her best to comfort me.

She slept after sometimes later. I was completely blank and gazing at the phone. This is the worst moment in my life. As my sister told, my parents are liberal in everything even choosing a career etc but when coming to marriage they are very strict. Hopefully, my dad gave marriage promises. What will I do next? Though Rithick stopped everything afterwards. How can I make my parents shame in front of others? How can I make my family's reputation under stake?
