Vani (Universe of In Love! Again)

*Vani Pov*“Why are you grinning so much today while we all are in grief regarding today’s tough paper?” I heard the question from my side making me turn away from the sun and cut my thoughts completely.“Today was our last exam.” I said as a matter of fact staring at my friend.“And?” she asked, raising her eyebrow.“We finished our college.” I said and my grin got its place over my face again just thinking about the fact.“And?” she asked showing her impatience in her tone.“And, there is no other reason for my parents to stop her to call her son home to get me married.” I replied and sighed just thinking about having a chance to meet him finally.“Oh God! I just can’t believe this.” We both heard a new voice and turned to see my enemy sitting behind us on the floor of our college grounds.“What is your problem, Rupa?” I asked frowning.“My problem is your naiveness, Vani.” She replied frowning back.“What do you mean?” I asked even though I would turn away and just continue my happ

*Kamal Pov*“I don’t know what you will do, Kamal. You should come home this weekend at any cause.” I heard what I feared from the past few weeks while dodging her request to return home.“But Mom…” I started saying along with thinking of a reason to give to her.“I don’t want to hear anything. Here, that girl is waiting for you and you are not even coming here to meet her. You both should get to know each other more before marriage.” She said and I closed my eyes.“Mom! I believe that it would be better to not talk about marriage. I mean, I don’t know her and she doesn’t know me. Maybe we both are just not compatible.” I said and waited for her reaction.“Don’t worry, Kamal. You know a lot about her and she knows so much about you. I am glad that you too think, you should meet her and get to know her on your own. I will be waiting for your return then.” She said and hung up the phone while I took it away from my ear to stare at it in shock.“Did she again, not understand the meaning

*Vani Pov*“I know, you wanted to talk to him, but they had to leave early to catch the bus. We don’t get one right after dark and they can’t travel tomorrow with the exams starting from day-after tomorrow.” Aunty explained the moment I walked in her house after freshening up.“His friend explained to me, Aunty.” I said, smiling and sat for dinner along with her.“At least you didn’t run immediately with just the news of him in the house.” She mumbled and I frowned.“He must think I am some crazy person. I shouldn’t have run like that on the roads.” I mumbled back.“I just want you to get to know him and he does the same. We elders are here only to arrange the wedding. However, you both are the ones who should live life long together.” She said in a serious tone.“There will be no change of decision from my side no matter what happens unless he actually doesn’t want this.” I said shrugging ignoring the pinching in the heart.“We will talk about that when he comes here after the exams.

*Vani Pov*“But Di, I want you to attend this.” I mumbled frowning before glancing at the attire chosen for tomorrow’s function.“I too want to attend, but it is really not possible right now. Why did you all rushed for this?” she asked and I sighed, knowing well everyone will question the same.“We were not sure that tomorrow, there will be engagement in the first place. When Aunty got to know that he has returned and is visiting his college principal, we started the preparations.” I started explaining.“If he had returned tomorrow, then the engagement would be on the latter day.” I added calmly.“But why?” she asked again and then I remember not telling her about everything that happened during this one year.“After he left, I really felt sad, but then thought of passing the time by doing something. So, I joined the computer course which was not done by any girl in our village. Now, they want to make me as their daughter-in-law and all. Because of which I started getting many propos

*Kamal Pov*“This week was so hectic guys.” I said, taking my place at our regular table in our favorite restaurant.“Well, that’s why my Dad doesn’t stop praising you at all.” Pallavi said smiling at me.“I hope so! I don’t want to lose this job when I am planning to bring Mom here. I even selected a flat.” I said, thinking about the perfect flat.“She will not come here until your marriage is over. Speaking of marriage, did you get a chance to have a word with your fiancé? Or is she still at her friend’s house?” Rakesh asked sipping his coffee.“No! And Mom seems to be worried as this is the first time Vani stayed away from the house.” I replied leaning back.“Why are we talking about her? Let’s talk about something else important.” Pallavi said, shaking her head.“She is his fiancé and is going to be his wife. What else is more important than that?” Girish asked glaring at her.“Guys!” I said, frowning at both of them.“Because she is not his fiancé.” Pallavi retorted without givin
