Niya pov :

Hi guys, I'm Niya . I love food . I'm a biotechnology student, currently working in a lab . And I'm 25 . My family is my world. My parents, they are the besteeesssssttt parents. My dad , Mr Krishna, he is a business man , doing hotel business , my hero , my saviour and my everything. He never even scolded me . Of course yes , I'm a dad's little princess. He did everything in power to make me happy, and still doing. Next is my mom , Gowri , she is a strict mom . I never passed a day without her scoldings and beating. Definitely atleast one time she would be scolded me or beaten me in a day. But she is a sweetheart. She does everything for my happiness. I swear, no one in the world would get a mom like her.

Next one is my little devil, my younger brother , Rajat . He is the one whom I love more than my parents. But you know , that creature always annoys me. That annoying goblin . He is a electronics engineering , working in a reputed company. We would fight daily . But we don't know how we speak to eachother forgetting the fights . We never seperated. Just like twins.

You know right when a girl enters above 21 in india she is meant to be married and if not, the whole society would criticise her🙄. Yeah, that happened in my life too . Due to my father's health condition,neighbours and relatives questions , my parents started to search for a potential groom. Yeah, the first groom , coming to see me . But I'm confident he won't like me. Because he is a strict police officer. I never had rules in my life. I bet , he won't choose me.

At present

I'm in my beautiful sleep . Woww , I have heard people find pleasure in many things , but here I feel pleasure in my peaceful sleep. Suddenly my face was watered. I opened my eyes catching my breath. I saw my little devil with water jar.

Niya : you!!!!

I started to chase him and he ran away laughing. I caught his collar and pushed him to floor before tickling him. We both laughed . That's when a knock landed on my head. I raised my head to see my angry mommy. I saw her with a pout.

Niya : mom !! Why did you just hit me ??

Mom : groom's family is coming to see you, stupid, get up and bath quickly.

'as if he is going to choose me 'i thought and went to the bathroom before slapping on my brother's back who just now raised from floor. I locked the bathroom door before he could catch me .

...

After bathing, I got ready in a kancheevaram silk saree with Jasmine in my hair and minimal jewels and make up. Woww , I look pretty. Nice 😉. Even though I know this is going to waste as the groom is going to reject me , atleast I got some photos.

I heard a door knock, i opened the door to see my brother. After seeing me his jaw dropped. I chuckled.

Niya : close your mouth Raju , or else flies would fly inside your mouth.

My brother glared me and closed his mouth.

Rajat : but seriously, are you my sister or someone else?

Niya : heyy I'm your sister only.

Rajat: when did you changed to woman ? You were used to dress like a boy know.

Niya : idiot, I'm born girl. You won't pass a day without mocking me .

Rajat : ok ok , fine. The groom's family arrived. Mom asked if you are ready.

Suddenly i became anxious.

Niya : okay. I'm ready.

Rajat: shall we go to the living room??

I nodded. I took a deep breath. My heart is beating fastly. I followed my brother. In each steps I took my anxiety increased. My hands were turned to cold as I heard many voices and laughter on approaching living room. As I entered into the living room , i didn't look anyone else except my parents. My mom gave me tray of coffees. I slowly approached the right side on sofa. There was a old man , probably 60 years. I leaned to give coffee, next was a man in 30s . I have seen the groom's photo, so he is not the groom . May be groom's sibling . Next was a woman , may be his wife. Next was another young man and woman, who would be them ?? Next I saw a old woman. May be groom's mom. Didn't the groom came ??

I shrugged and went to next person. That's when I saw him. My groom . Aarav , deputy commissioner of police. He looks so..... Scary. His trimmed beard and neat appearance makes me nervous. I'm not caught in police, I'm not caught in police . I calmed down my brain which thinks i caught in police for over speed or no entry. He is looking good only. But what use ? No use. He is gonna reject me. Am I staring him ? I suddenly realised i was infront of him and moved to my mom with red face. Not that I'm blushing but embrassed.

They started to speak.

The Oldman: vanakkam , I'm aarav's father. Ramamoorthy . I worked in military and just now got retired. That is my wife , sundari . She is a house wife and a part time business woman. This is our elder son , ranav . He is taking care of our family business , aarav's elder brother. And this is his wife , Meenakshi. The next one is my last son , aarav's younger brother, Vicky. He is not working. ( Vicky face changed) He married his love . His wife , Ramya . And that is your groom . Aarav. Deputy commissioner of police.

I nodded. My father started to introduce my family members to them .

Aarav's father: why don't you both speak privately?? You can say your opinion to eachother openly know ??

Privately?? With him ?? Is his father trying to kill me ? Of course man , my heart is already in marathon just for seeing him . What would I do if I was left alone with him ? .

Before i could process , he agreed and my mom asked me to take him to the terrace.

I took him to the terrace. I was very nervous that even i would faint if he gets closer to me. The sun is not in my side and shining brightly. We stood there silently. I decided to break the silence.

Niya : hi , I'm Niya.

Aarav : I know.

I smiled : so , what is your opinion?

Aarav: what is yours??

Niya : My opinion... I think your parents are sweet. So , if we marry I can survive. Afterall my parents happiness matters.

Aarav raised his eyebrows.

Aarav : rare trait you are. The traditional one ??

Niya : not exactly traditional but we can say as the combo of traditional and modern.

Aarav twisted his lips in appreciation.

Niya : you didn't answer my question.

Aarav : question?? Questioning a police officer itself??

Niya : you are not a police officer here . Just my potential groom.

Aarav smirked.

Aarav : I hope there is nothing to speak after this .

I saw him with confusion.

Niya : huh ? What do you mean??

He chuckled and went to the stairs to go down.

What that even means ? Is he is interested or not? Such a brainless he is. Didn't answer anything and went. May be he doesn't like me .

I sighed. I know this would happen. But why am I feeling sad?? I know why . Because this is my first rejection.

I went down stairs to see everyone eating snacks. I stood near my mom and brother. Rajat leaned to me .

Rajat : what did your future husband said ?

I glared him and gritted my teeth.

Niya : he is not my future husband idiot.

He chuckled. This goose knows when to irritate me . After sometime, his family started to leave . They are so sweet . His father and mother is like my parents. His elder brother is not speaking much. May be he must be an introvert but his wife speaks well. They had a boy in 5 years whom they left in school before coming. His younger brother is somewhat speaking. But his wife is throwing much attitude. Wait a minute!! Why am i describing these ? Niya , he rejected you, idiot. He rejected you.

After they left, i straightly went to my bed and closed my eyes. That's when my mom entered.

Mom : Niya!! Get up baby .

I opened my eyes widely. Baby ?? Just my mom said me baby ?? What a medical miracle?? Am i dreaming??

I sat straight to see my parents with smiling face. It made me happy.

Niya : what ?? Why are you both showing your teeth? I'm not dentist.

My dad chuckled and sat next to me. My mom on the other side.

Dad : did you liked him ??

Niya : who ?

Rajat : who else ? The commissioner.

Rajat who entered into the room said.

Mom : do you like him ??

Niya : mom , actually. He is a police officer. He can be strict,mom . I'm scared.

Dad chuckled: even before marrying your mom , I was short tempered. But after marriage she changed everything. She changed me .

I sighed .

Niya : what if he never changes ??

Mom : and what is wrong in it ? See niya , life can't be same everytime. It has to change.

I took a deep breath, i smirked inwardly.

Niya : okay mom . I accept if he also accepts.

They both grinned widely. I know, my parents are happy now . But i know this happiness is not going to last. He will say no.

I laid on bed and continued my precious sleep.

Someone shooked me from sleep. I opened my eyes to see my brother who suddenly stuffed sweet on my mouth and started to dance. I choked and coughed. My mom gave me water.

Niya : heyy what happened? Why is he dancing like monkey?

My mom and dad hugged me tightly.

Mom : the groom family accepted this wedding.

WHAT THE HELL??? how did he accepted the wedding? He said he has nothing to speak. What happened to him suddenly? .
