Chapter 4 Why Did You Say Yes?

If you don't want to get married then what exactly do you want to do with your life tell me? her father asked her getting furious.

I.. I want to... I don't know. I just don't want to get married. she said

Akki, this guy is a really good match for you. he is a neurosurgeon in Mumbai. he's well settled and their demands are also not very high. We cannot afford to loose such a good boy because of your stupid weird reason for not getting married. it's not even like if you love someone else or anything. don't be so ridiculous. we won't get another guy who's this good for you if we turn them down. her mother tried to make her understand.

I said I don't care. Just why did you come to me to know my willingness if you have liked the guy so much? she said this calmly.

I just want to know if he missbehaved or something or if you have any complaints regarding his manner with you when you two went upstairs to talk alone. her mother asked

No, he's a nice guy. I don't mind him. she said.

So, should we okay him? Her mother asked.

She nodded. Her father patted her head and her mother hugged her.

I'm so happy for you my child! She said and both of them left.

'Nice guy my foot! ' she said to herself

Next day Rehan's dad called and confirmed Akshita and Rehan's match from Rehan's family side.

Rehan's family were coming in the evening to decide the engagement and the wedding date.

In the evening she was once again decorated like a doll to be presented in front of her perspective in laws.

'Never mind it happens.. ' she was mumbling while she was told to bring in the snacks from kitchen.

After serving her mother-in-law-to-be

made her to sit besides her and asked her how she was doing.

After ten to fifteen minutes her mother told her to go take Rehan to the tour of her house. Basically both of the families wanted some off time from the kids to discuss on some 'issues' about marriage.

Why did you agree to marry me? Akshita asked Rehan as soon as once they were both alone.

I see you're getting along well with me. So, now that you're comfortable with me let's get married. He grinned

Okay, who told you that I am comfortable with you? She asked him

Just look at the way you address me.. No girl dares do that.. At least the ones I met for this shaadi business. He said keeping his hands in his pockets and looking away from her.

Seriously, why did you say 'yes'? She asked trying to make him act serious.

It's because I found you really interesting. Plus my mom really liked you. You said you are willing to give me a Bachlorette life perks even after we get married. so, I thought it would be good to say 'yes'. He said looking in her eyes.
