STILL WITH YOU

Happy reading .....

Mihra Kapoor's pov

"Mom I want to tell you something ", I lifted my eyes from my plate to her while placing the spoon aside it. I know my mom, she will never deny whatever I want but still today I was feeling tension. What her reaction would be at my decision. I think she will definitely accept it because for her my happiness comes first and other is rest. She loves me alot , though she is single mother but never let me feel loss of my father around me. Dad passed away with heart attack when I was seven. Since then she takes responsibility of our lives. She never even think about her life , I asked her why she didn't get married after dad death but she simply smiled and told me.He was my husband and will always be.There is noone can take his place in my life. It's just because he isn't with us ,it doesn't mean I forget him or his love. My love for my husband is eternal , he gave the love which can be with me until my last breath. My respect for her increased to infinity , I love her very much. She is both my mom and my dad.

Mom looked at me doubtfully while continuing her breakfast. Sometimes she was so rigid with me when it comes to boys. Why was I thinking so much to say about my feelings. Usually I wasn't this typo who had filter to her mouth. I didn't think much before I say something. But today i wasn't normal like I used to. I took a deep breath and ready to tell her.

"Mom I love someone and he proposed me yesterday "

Her hand stopped at her lips as she heard my words and her eyes directed to me. She left the spoon in her plate and wiped her hands off.

"If it's a joke , let me tell you I didn't like it ", she said calmly.

"Mom it's not a joke ..I seriously love him ", I stressed out.

"Did you forgot your rules chart ?",she asked me little bit loud.

"No mom . How can I forget it , it's living rent free in my head " ,I said rolling my eyes.

"Then I don't need to remind you about last rule "

"Mommm the only rule it's is no boyfriend , no boyfriend and no boyfriend. You have mentioned it ten times .."

She strictly told me no for boyish things and boyfriend.

"Because it's the only thing I want you away from your life "

"Trust me mom Sirish is a very good person and my classmate. He is born with silver spoon mom and perfect match for our status ",I pouted while playing with the spoon in my plate.

"How can you say that he loves you too ? "

"Because he told me himself with a red rose and asked me for marriage with a diamond ring ",I showed her my full teeth while proudly flashing my ring finger to her.

"How can you wear his name ring so casually ? It's how I raised you ?", Her voice was deep making me startle.

"Mom don't be dramatic it's just a ring and how can someone deny this beautiful diamond ", I said watching my finger , it's twinkling so brightly.

"Just remove it already ", mom shouted suddenly getting up from her chair. I never seen her this much serious before , what's my wrong here to wear a ring ?

"No mom ... please understand my life will be settle down happily and richly. Don't you want your daughter called to be a billionaire 's wife " , I said raising up from my chair.

"Money isn't everything sweety when will you realise this simple thing "

"Mom I don't want to realise any simple thing ,I am happy with what I am. I want to marry Sirish and spend my life with him. This year we complete our studies and Sirish will join his parents business .After he will come here to ask you my hand and you will say yes "

"No .. never gonna happen this . Just forget him " ,she yelled at me.

"Why mom ? Why you are snatching my happiness from me " ,I shouted back.

"It's not real happiness sweety which you are thinking. This money, status and luxury these are just temporary things which can provide you only comfortable not love. But for a marriage love is important sweety ,you need a real life partner who could understand you , support you and stand by you all the time "

"That's what I am telling you mom , Sirish won't leave my hand for anything. He really cares for me and I trust him "

"It can't happen .. it's wrong " , She warned me all seriously and I didn't understand why she was not understanding me.

"Why are you saying no without knowing him ?"

"Because I am telling you so "

"Why mom ? Why are so adamant .."

"BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY TAKEN MIHRA "

"You are already a wife of someone "

I was stilled not understanding what she was just said. I was taken ? I was married to someone without my knowledge.

"Stop kidding me mom , I am standing here right infront you all unmarried. I think you are mistaken "

"No Mihra , I am not mistaken.This is the truth you belong to someone "

I felt like earth moved underneath my feet. How the hell I married ? When and with whom ?

"Mom I am serious , my head would explode any moment stop this married thing ", I shouted irritatingly.

"I want to tell you this truth on your twenty third birthday which is two months. Your marriage was declared when you are born "

"What ?" ,I asked her baffled totally.

"Yes , your husband name is Abhiman .. Abhiman Malhotra "

My steps halted hearing her and I placed my hand on the chair taking support. No this can't happen with me. I wasn't married. I never allow this marriage.

"You will and you have to because it's your father wish too. He is your father's bestfriend son. Your granny last wish to knot you with him. He was five at that time and you were two years old. She made him wear you a wedding chain and taken promise from us as his wife. We hid this matter all this while because she wanted to know you when you turn twenty three untill you will be with us without any information about your husband "

"This is bullshit mom .... in what century we are living in and you guys are still stinging to that old customes. For god sake I have every right to call off this bloody marriage. I won't agree to this never ....", I yelled in frustration.

What the hell they were thinking about me. Was I toy or something that they can give away to anyone. I was a little baby at that time , not even know how to spell husband word correctly and they got me married.

"Trust me Mihra .. Abhiman is a perfect life partner for you. It's just he is not like you metropolitan students , he is so pure like his mother , he is so hardworker like his father and he loves you like anything. Whatever he is today, only because of his talent and hardwork "

"Not like us means ??? Are you telling me like he is from some poor village ", I laughed.

"Yes he is from village ...

"What ??? Seriously are you lost or what ? You are knotting me with a village man . Ewww I hate illiterate people "

I would pass out definitely just at the imagination . Me marrying a village man , oh god just kill me already.

"He is also enough rich to take care of you next seven lives "

"I don't care if he is rich or not . It's simple that I don't want that village guy.Why can't you understand mom ? Eww I can't even imagine me standing beside him "

"Mihra use words wisely , you are talking about your husband and I can't hear anything bad about him .You have to work on this marriage Mihra "

"Over my dead body ", I screamed on her face which earned a slap from her.

I held my cheek with tears in my eyes . I never imagined she will slap me . I rushed upstairs to my room cursing the bloody Abhiman.

"I hate you Abhiman ..I hate you "

This was the only mantra on my lips while tossing on my bed left and right.I decided to call Sirish and tell him everything.I immediately called him and he picked it up on fifth ring .What the hell was taking him so long ? He should be pick it on first ring.

Happy reading......

" Sirish think something as soon as possible because my mom is so adamant to throw me in the hell any second ", I said weakly.

"Here is only option Mihra , you have to go directly to him and tell him that you are not interested in this marriage . You will tell him , you love someone "

"Does he leave me ?"

"Of course he must be Mihra because no man wants to share his life with a girl who is in love with another man .Atleast not him because as per your words he seems good man so he will understand you and respects your decision "

"Oh it's so simple .Tomorrow I will go to his village and confront him my feelings "

"That's a good Idea baby "

"I will talk you tomorrow bye . Love you", I said blowing a kiss on my phone.

"Love you too baby . Come fast we have our internship remeber and the list is on the way "

"Hm bye "

After I thought so much , how to break this marriage.Seriously I never imagined my life would be a comedy sircus.Even though I didn't like the idea of visiting him but I had no option .I had to go that shitty place and convince him to say no for this stupid marriage.

I heard door knocking sound and I knew it's mom.

"Mihra come have dinner , you haven't eaten anything after breakfast ", Mom shouted.

"Just leave me alone mom, my appetite is gone now ", I replied back .

"Please Mihra don't act like a stubborn kid , I am doing all this for your future "

"Future ?? What is my future mom to marry that village man. Instead I prefer death happily than staying with him "

"Sweety don't talk like that you don't know anything about him , how can you disrespect him . The village is in India only , not in some other planet .So stop cussing him or you would regret it after I am telling you "

Regret my foot !

"Mom tomorrow I have to go field trip for three days , so please leave me I need to sleep "

"Okay we will discuss this when you return home .I placed your debit card in lower cabinet take it , may be you need it . Good night sweety "

"Mom "

"Yes sweety ?"

"What's the village name ? "

"Why ?? ..do you want to know about Abhiman ?"

"Don't exaggerate mom ,I just want to know my native place that's it "

"It's East Godavari district Andhra Pradesh "

"What the hell it's South India ??"

"Yeah sweety we are south Indian but we had to shift here in Mumbai on your dad's business purpose "

Arghhh !

"Just kill me mom ..kill me "

"Everything happens for a reason sweety . Good night "

Yes the reason is my destruction !

"Good night mom ", I muttered under my breath and closed my eyes trying to sleep.But again and again that Abhiman name popping up in my brain making me cuss.

Abhiman I am coming !

But the name is sounding sexy , urgh Mihra shutup and sleep !

Morning

Mom packed my bag with proper clothes and things which I need on daily purpose But she didn't know that I was going to meet Abhiman not a field trip . If I say the truth , she will alert him or manipulate for marriage and I don't want to happen that .Atleast not in this life I am gonna marry him.

"Bye mom , I will miss you " , I said hugging her and she kissed my forehead .

"Careful okay,don't go around waterfalls you have hydrophobia.Just watch it from a distance and keep yourself away from that Sirish.I don't trust him "

But I do !

"Okay bye " , I kissed her cheek and waved my hand.

Present I was in flight looking outside of the window emerged in my thoughts. In just few minutes the plane will land in Rajamundry .Urgh even the thought disgusting me , I never imagined in my life that I would go to a village and that too talk with a village man.

It's landing time and I throw my bag to my shoulder while adjusting my scarf . What would I do , I was a OCD person . Every new atmosphere will cause sick to my body.After I took bus to Konaseema . The buss was full on rush and I got a seat on very difficulty .I noticed some middle aged women gwaking me but I didn't give a damn as I was exhausted by journey and directly settled in seat. After four hours journey the bus came into halt . It's already evening now and I was tired like hell .

"Holy cow "

My mouth fell open at the sight as I stepped out of bus shockingly .Oh god was this village or animal farm .There was alot of different kind of animals roaming and running on the road .Even the road was not fixed properly , it's almost look like a chain of puddles.

My nose instantly scrunched up feeling nausea , the smell was so hard that it had me a heavy sneezing.Though I was wearing a scarf it couldn't help.My nose was so sensitive that It can't stand at hard smells. Oh god I shouldn't have come here in the first place.Mihra where were you stuck baby.

I clamped my mouth ,nose over my scarf and moved forward . Mom said that Abhiman was pretty famous in this village so everyone must be know him . Immediately I should find him and clear this matter as quickly as possible . Urgh I can't waste one more second here .I moved aside so far from them keeping my body to a particular side.

I was walking and walking I didn't find any man , may be because of it village outskirts . My legs were aching by the continuous one hour walk .

Great Mihra , have fun !

But what I realised was there was no hustle and bustle of city life.It's peaceful, calm, quite and full of greenery where one can breathe fresh air. Somehow it had me sane diverting my brain from the nausea.

The mud road was narrow covered with green fields on either side of it . It was just going and going. I had no Idea where it was leading me .Just then my eyes caught a man who was hunching over the crops.His back was visible , he was looking young because of his blue jeans and light blue T-shirt .

By the way Blue is my favourite !

Impressive village guys were wearing jeans not bad !

"Excuse me ,can you please help me with the address",I called him maintaining a good distance.Don't know how many germs he was carrying on his body.

But he didn't respond ,out of nowhere

I saw a dirty buffalo directly running into me. My eyes widened and feet trembled .

"Oh no Sherlock ...", I shouted on the top of my lungs watching the black creature coming close to me , very close to me.

Happy reading .....

"Oh no Sherlock !!!!" , I screamed loudly closing my eyes and my feet rooted to the place.

Rip Mihra !

Please bring orchids to my funeral okay !

Literally I was imagining myself burying under the ground , it's disturbed by a laughing a sound. I opened my one eye slowly peeking outside and realised that I was alive. The buffalo was no where near my sight.

"Thank god ",I was taking heavy breaths trying to relax my shivering body with my eyes shut .I could hear my thumping heart behind my chest.

"Aap thik ho ? (Hey are you okay ?)" , I heard a voice behind me and instantly my heart beat picked up. It's a male voice and surprisingly so manly.

I calmed myself and turned around.I saw a six feet man standing a few steps away from me by dropping his hands either side of his hip.His face was covered with red cotton cloth and I could see only his dark brown eyes with thick eyebrows.His black eye lashes were so long that they were fanning his clothed cheeks .His eyes holding something in them like magnetism that it had my eyes glued to him.

His eyes really beautiful !

"Aap thik ho ??",he asked me again walking towards me and I rolled my eyes muttering ," Illetrate man, seriously what else can I expect from this village "

He almost towered my 5'6" form and I Immediately jumped back.

"Stay away... you dirty man", I screamed maintaining good distance from him. I clutched my nose and glared him. But I felt something wet on leg and looked down while I heard him in English which shocked me.

"Hey careful cara mia "

My eyes widened and nose crinkled up in bewilderment.

"Shit holy cow ...", a scream left my lips as my whole body cringed seeing something green sticky sprinkled on my shoe and leg.

"Yes it's cow poop ", I heard him bending down his head trying to control his laugh which made my anger more.

"What ??Oh no .."

Cow poop !

Ewwww kill me god , just kill me !

"You are laughing at my state , how dare you?",I stepped forward in anger.

"Cara stop ", he shouted while pointing his hands down to the road. Before I looked down , my leg already slumped into same wet again. This time another foot and I almost dazed seeing myself.

"What the shit Sherlock , why me ?", I yelled watching down my dirty feet.

"I told you to stop but you didn't listen me. See what happened now ", he said whilst checking me top to bottom.

"Will you please stop checking me out , I am already dying here with this cringey feeling ", I fumed looking down at my leg.

Ewww I will puke any second !

"Why the hell you didn't stop me ? .. you should have grabbed my hand"

"First I am not checking you out , I am observing your state whether it's only on your legs or on your total body . Second one, just remember what you said few minutes ago ... you screamed on me to stay away like I am some human virus that's why I didn't hold your hand still I told you to stop but you didn't hear me", he said in a middle tone while looking straight in the eyes.

"Yeah whatever , I was just lost thinking that you know English.I thought you are a village Illetrate and you shocked me "

"Don't judge a book by it's cover cara mia.If I am a village man it doesn't mean that I am an Illetrate person. Infact no village guy is Illetrate here , it's just looking the way you want to see them"

"Now will you stop lecturing me and help me with this shit to clean ", I annoyed with the dirtiness.

"Just stand there don't move , I will guide you safely okay " , he said reaching me and placed his hand before me.

I looked at him ,he was telling me to give my hand in his through his eyes and I shifted my gaze back to his hand. I pushed the germs thought aside because I was already scared thinking how many bacteria and viruses were crawling on my body right now , so I stopped debating with my brain and placed my hand in his. His fingers gripped over mine and guided me forward. The second when his fingers linked with mine, I felt a weird feeling inside me. I didn't know what was that but I shrugged it aside. I followed his steps with my eyes keeping on the road not wanting to jump in another poop. I felt his fingers warmness over mine, my gaze shot to our gripped hands. His fingers were so white and long. They were shockingly so soft in mine , it should be rough and hard na but I felt opposite. I doubt whether he was village man or not. Because the way he was talking in English so calmly and composingly. He wasn't sounding no where near a village man.

"Step forward carefully " , I lifted my gaze from his hand to up and found a open water pump which was for the crops.

"You clean yourself until I wait there ", he said pointing a farthest distance from the place where you can see a thik bushes fencing.

"What the hell how can I wash myself ..urgh I can't touch this shit with my hands ",I was horrified.

"Then how can it leave without wash ?"

"You will help me cleaning this ", I stated like I own him. He seemed shock and looked here and there but me. What's wrong with him ?

"Cara mia I can't ..."

"How dare you say no to me , you know daily hundreds of boys dying for my one handshake in my college and here you are refusing to help me. Are you showing me attitude that I asked your help ", I fumed crossing my arms across chest.

"And don't call me cara mia , you are not my friend"

"Then call your friend , I am leaving ", he said on my face and turned to leave.

"What the hell ....? How can you leave me like this in the middle"

"That's your problem you should watch your language before saying anything to others ", he said moving forward leaving me behind all angry.

Urghh I wanted to kill this guy with my bare hands but I can't I need his help. Come on Mihra baby put your ego aside and say sorry to him.

"Okay I am sorry ", I said but he didn't respond to me kept walking ahead.

"I SAID FUCKING SORRY PLEASE HELP ME BLUE SHIRT MAN ", shouted loudly enough to reach the other village.

He closed his ears with his hands and turned around. His eyes scrutinized and his body stood lazily.

"Who is this blue shirt man cara mia ?"

I could see his smiling lips behind that red cloth but I controlled my anger.

"Of course you , do you see someone else here ", I rolled my eyes.

"You should have asked me my name cara mia "

"Don't call me carrrrrr", my words slipped down back into throat as I saw him raising his eyebrows. He was blackmailing me , it's not good.

"Okay what's your name SIR ", I asked gritting my teeth.

He stared me for second and replied.

"Abhi "
