Love That Destroys — Chapter 20 Finally fixed

Stuti's pov

I open the door of my room and

gesture  him to go inside.

He entered my room and started to scrutinize it.

My room is clean and organised. So he can't find anything wrong.

"so you didn't told your masi and mausa ji that you both were attacked back in Bangalore?" he asked and to be honest

I melted hearing his deep voice. It's so sexy..

OK now I should just stop my imagination.

"Yes we didn't because it will only make them tense nothing else. And I request you that please don't tell them." I requested him

"Hmm I won't. They don't need to be tense for my wife." He said and I looked at him like he has grown two heads

"what? Why that shocked look?" he asked

"I didn't say yes." I told him

He thinks highly of himself..

"yet, you didn't say yes yet but by looking at your masi I can say it will be yes only. So you will be my wife soon. By the way, did you wear a saree today or do you wear it often? You're looking pretty good." He said boldly and at a point he is correct

Masi will definitely manipulate me.

" I do wear every kind of clothing. And if you know that it will be yes then why when wasting your time in this? Go and tell everyone that you're ready. And moreover you knew about this from long. You know who I'm yet you kept mum. What even I can expect" I said angrily

This man is clearly mocking me here.

"Exactly I know what they will say but I want to know what you think about all this. What expectations you have from this relationship. What are your dreams for the future? I am a very straightforward person, Stuti.

And I can say that I liked you from the very first time I saw you in that marriage. All the girls were caked up with makeup and wearing good for nothing dresses but only two girls are there without a ton of makeup and in decent dress one who doesn't give to shit anyone else down to earth and guess what that shy down to earth girl touched my heart. It's me who asked my parents to talk with your guardians.

I would have told you that time only about this arrangement but then I didn't want to freak you out. It is better that your family told you everything. Now you tell me. If you say no then there will be no marriage. But before saying anything, answer my questions. "He said in one go

Honestly I'm baffled by his confession.

" I want to be a well known chef. I want my husband to support me in my dream and help me to reach it. I am confused and scared about this. Everything is new for me.

I have never engaged in any relationship ever since I know that I will be doing arranged marriage. I want my partner to be honest and loyal with me before becoming my husband.

I want him to become my friend. About love I will say that maybe not immediately I will love him or expect him to love me but after a time at a point I will love my husband with everything I have.

I haven't seen my parents married life but I have my masi and mausa ji. They are different from each other but they are perfect for each other. I want a relationship like them or maybe better than them. "I told him what I think

He looked amused as a smile graced his lips making him look more handsome than he already is.

There is no doubt he is handsome. Girls must be dying for him and here he chose a simple girl like me.

" miraculously our thoughts are the same about this thing. I also want the same thing from my life partner. As I'm an IPS officer I need my wife's full support to do my duty.

And if you agree to marry me I promise I will be the support you need to reach your goal not the obstacle in your path.

And I'm glad to know that you find me handsome and you're not simple or plain. You're a kind of your own. And I like this about you. You are submissive yet you know how to put your point. That's a great quality. And yes from next time check before you say anything thinking you're saying it in your mind. "He said and my cheeks heated up

Shit I said those things loudly. Just kill me someone.

" So whatever your decision is, I'm ready to accept it, may it be yes or no. And one more thing don't say yes in any pressure. Listen to your heart.

From my side it's yes and you know that. Rest depends on you. And yes for your knowledge I'm only 26 so we don't have much age difference between. And your room is nice. Clean and organised. It shows that you're a clean freak and perfectionist just like me. You are a nice girl and I will definitely feel lucky to have you as my wife. "He said with a smile and left from my room

Tha kya ye? Kya bolke chale gaye? (What was that? What did he say before going?)

Was it an indication to show how perfect we are?

He at least gave me a chance to open up my heart to him when my masi didn't bother to ask. He is a gentleman and his behaviour screams it.

Should I say yes? He seems good to me.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

I went outside of my room and Turu came in front of me.

"everything OK? Did he do something or said something inappropriate?" she asked and I shook my head in no

"why are you all red huh? Aisa kya Keh diya usne?(What did he tell you)" she asked me in a teasing tone and I just glared at her

"So I guess I can call him jiju from now on. Meri mummy bari ho gayi hai Aur ab khud shadi karke sachi me mummy banegi. Haye khushi se Mar hi na jau mai. (My mother is grown up & after marriage she will truly be a mother.  I will die in happiness )" she said and wipe her imaginary tears

This girl is a total dramebaaz.

"we should go otherwise Momma will be coming to find us." she says and I nodded

We reached the main hall and saw everyone looking at me including him.

"Stuti beta aap ka jawab kya hai? Ha ya na? (What's your answer? Yes or no?)" his mother asked

I looked at everyone and then my eyes landed on him and found him staring at me already.

for some reason I just can't break our eye contact neither does he bother to break it on his own.

Turu pinched my hand, making me break our eye lock.

"I'm ready for this marriage. It's a yes from me." I said and looked at him who had big smile on his face

And if I'm not wrong he mouthed "congratulations Mrs. Mehra" to me and winked making me go all red

"congratulations Mrs. Mehra." Turu said means she saw it

God now she will tease me about it…

Masi brings sweets and they all feed each other.

His mother gave me diamond bangles and they decided that after 2 weeks we will get engaged and 2 months later we will get married.

They left after sometime but before leaving he gave me his number and asked to call him I only nodded my head at that.

Masi is really happy and Turu and Mausa ji are also happy.

After half an hour they left and someone came into our home and pressed the bell.

I was downstairs and decided to open the door.

When I did I saw the person whom I was expecting least now.
