Marriage-A lifetime commitment

Sun rose brightly in the sky welcoming a new day and a big family was gathered in a big mansion for having breakfast. A boy in his late 20's hurriedly came with a file in one hand and laptop bag in another.Adi : Good morning everyone. Sorry I am late for breakfast.Madhu narrowed her eyes at her son : Good morning son. Why are you again late today?Mansi : Relax didi Adi must have come home late last night right dear?Aditya sighed in relief and gave a brilliant smile to his Chachi for saving him from his mother's scold.Vikas : As everyone has come so shall we start the breakfast? I am getting late for the hospital.Nitin : Yes yes why not! Madhu : Akshara beta did you drink your fruit juice this morning?Akshara sheepishly smiled at her mother-in-law as she was caught for skipping her food.Madhu huffed : This is not done Akshara. You are pregnant beta and it's not good to skip your food. Paridhi : Don't worry Badima after my breakfast I will pack bhabhi's juice also with her lun

Next day Aditya woke up early and decided to go for a jog as sleep was far away from him since he saw Arpita's picture. After the jog, he straight away went to his room and took a long hot water bath to calm his nerves and relax his muscles. Getting dressed in his black suit, he went downstairs and saw his entire family had already gathered at the dinning table for breakfast. He took his seat greeting everyone.Paridhi and Akshara noticed the tiredness in his eyes and smiled mischievously.Pari : Didn't slept well last night bhai?Aditya who was in his own thoughts replied : HmmAkshara : Arpita's photo didn't let you sleep Adi?Aditya again hummed lost in his own thoughts. A gush of laughter brought him back from his dream world and he started eating his breakfast silently embarrassed by his family's teasings.Madhu : Girls enough of your teasing. Now spare my son. Turning towards Aditya, she asked : Adi did you read the biodata and saw Arpita's picture?Aditya slowly nodded his hea

Aditya closed the file frustrated at himself. His work was his worship and he never had a day so far where he was not able to concentrate at his work. But since last two days specifically after seeing Arpita's picture, he was feeling quiet restless. Neither is he able to sleep properly nor is he able to concentrate on anything happening around him. He was anxiously waiting for her answer which he was desparately hoping to be positive.He heard a knock and asked the person to come in. Seeing his father he sat straight and gave a smile to him.Adi : Dad you know you can come anytime in my cabin. You don't need to knockNitin : I thought you would be busy so knocked. Done with work?Adi : Yeah everything important is finished for the day.Nitin : Cool then let's go home. Your mother wants us all to be at home early.Aditya's heart thumped loudly in anticipation. He somewhere knew why his mother wanted them home soon. He drank a glass of water and wiped his hands on his trouser to calm hi

The ringing of alarm disturbed Aditya's sleep. He tried to shut the alarm without opening his eyes but damn his mobile fell on the ground from the bed side table. He groaned and got up from bed picking up his phone in the process and shutting it up finally!!But his irritation flew out of window and a smirk appeared on his face as soon as he saw Arpita's photo which was his phone's wallpaper currently. He had scanned Arpita's photo which came with her biodata and then saved it in his phone as his baby sister Paridhi was constantly trying to hide her photo in order to tease him. He being the smart person he is attached his printer with his phone and transferred it on his mobile after scanning. Then he himself went and gave Arpita's photo to Paridhi and asked her to keep it making her gap at him.He chuckled remembering his sister's shocked expression and caressed Arpita's face on his mobile screen.Aditya (self - talk) : Why are you so beautiful Arpita? Since I have seen you I am not m

Aditya closed his eyes and whispered slowly "Finally you are going to be mine Arpita". Everyone was tired from today's events and slept soon.Next day Madhu called up their family priest and he suggested two dates auspicious for keeping engagement. One was after two days and other was after one month.She discussed this with Nitin, Sameer, Mansi and they asked Aditya's opinion regarding this.Madhu : Adi Panditji said two dates are good. One is after two days and another is after one month. Which one do you think is comfortable for you?Aditya wanted to say the one after two days but he didn't wanted to sound desparate and moreover he wanted Arpita to be comfortable so he said : Mom I am fine with any of the two. Just ask Arpita about her opinion.Akshara : Ohho Adi! Looking out for her from now itself! Good good....Aditya did something he never thought before. He strangely blushed hearing Akshara's teasing remark but thankfully his mother came to his rescueMadhu : Akshara don't tea
