Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (animal farm read .txt) 📗

"Are you serious?" Kshama asked me with shock and my cheeks turn pink looking at her excitement.

"Woohooo.." she whistling.

"Why are you so excited, It supposed to be me who should be excited." I asked her with confusion.

I told kshama everything which happened yesterday. We are sitting in CCD after office.

"Arre... yaar my best friend is getting married,to mai kaise na exited hu. (how I don't get excite)" she said me joyfully.

"Madam abhi sirf rishta aaya hai (only proposal is came), marriage is not fixed yet." I hit her head with my hand.

"He is gonna say yes to you, dkh lena." she winked at me.

"And how are you so sure about that?" I narrowed my eyes while asking her.

"You are beautiful of course and don't forget about you chocolaty beautiful brown eyes in which anyone could falls." she elbowed me making more blush. But I'm still confused about my decision but more than that, I am afraid of being rejected. As Papa told me about him, he is an American and most importantly, he is a billionaire. Many questions are running inside my head like,

Will he understand me?

Will he understand me and my insecurities?

Will he accept my culture?

Why will he say yes, to just an ordinary Indian girl?

"I don't know. I'm really confused. I don't know what I did, is good or bad for me but I know one thing I want to see my parents happy. If they think this is good for me then it would be." I tell her truthfully.

" Don't worry... everything will be fine and I know he falls for you when he first time see you." she winked at me.

"shutup.." I blushed.

"oohhoo.. koi sharma rha hai.(someone is blushing)." she made fun of me.

"kshammmaaa... your coffee is getting cold . just zip your mouth and drink it." I fake glared at her.

"How am i supposed to drink my coffee if i zipped my mouth."she tell me while drinking her coffee. I shake my head to her antics and drink my coffee.

I didn't stop thinking about my 'rishta'(marriage proposal) after my parents told me about this. different thoughts are coming in my mind like how a boy who born in America going to marry me. Actually scratch that saying 'yes' to me, a simple Indian girl, how he looks like, will I look good beside him, Will I meet his standards etc.etc.

"Preeti..Preeti.." Kshama clicked her fingers in front of my face and  I looked at her dumb fully when my train of thoughts interrupted by her.

"Sorry, I zoned out." I blinked my eyes many times to remove thoughts of him.

If he affects me this much right now then what will happen when I met him officially. It's not that I like him or fall for him.

I just...

don't know..

He is an American,  a billionaire and I am just a simple, ordinary Indian girl. Who came from an orthodox family.

"I call you for an hour now. By the way what are you thinking about....your future husband huh.." She elbowed me.

I looked at her shockingly, she caught me off guard. Did I think about him such loudly. We both got up from our chairs and went to bill counter to pay our bills.

"ooo..poor girl I'm just messing with you. Okay tell me when will they are coming?" She asked me while paying our bills to the counter.

"This sunday." I tell her casually and shrugged my both shoulders.

"This sunday?" She looked at me shockingly.

"Yeah..?" I looked at her confusingly and start walking.

"Zeeze...woman..this is wednesday already and I'm damn sure you did not buy a dress yet." she asked me dramatically.

"I don't need to buy a dress. I already have many. I'll wear one of them." I said while looking at her and then walj forward, leave her behind in her shocking state.

"No you are not going to wear those dresses, you need to go for a shopping with me." she said to me no... no actually ordered me like my boss.

"Okay meri maa.. I will go shopping with you." I joined my both hands in front of her.

"Okay then final this weekend we are going for shopping." she said excitedly.
............

Weekend is come in blink. I was busy in my work and don't had time to think about it but when his thought comes into my mind I got very nervous and my heart start beating fast because  this is my first meeting when I meet someone for my marriage.

Today is saturday and I'm going to shopping with Kshama. Shivani di and Anit jiju came this morning because they are my guardians too.

Di also wants to come with us but her toddlers Abhi and Shreya didn't leave her, so at last, I and kshama went for a shopping. Ksahma bought a red anarkali suit for me because red colour suits me very well.

After that she took me to the parlor for facial, waxing, spa etc. It all took so much time that it was already evening when we both reached home.
