Ishani POV

______________

I finally completed my duty at the hospital now it's time to go home & get ready by 7pm so that I can reach velvet & vine on time to meet my future husband. Yes, this is the very first time I'm going to meet him. I only know just little information about him. Like his name is Reyansh Shekhawat & he is the CEO of Shekhawat corporation. Well, Shekhawat's & Mehta's are family friend. But never once I meet him. He is too busy. Even when they came to finalise the wedding date he didn't came with them. Soo rude! And now when our wedding day is just several days off he want to meet me. Great! Anyway without wasting time let's get in to my car because I heard he is very strict with time or else he will leave without meeting me. So, by any means I have to reach on time. Our date is fixed at 7.30pm. Opps! I mean meeting.

If Ma found out that I am not ready yet she gonna kill me. It's 7.15 pm. Oh God please help me to get ready fast. Without wasting time she started to removing her hospital clothes & picked out a beautiful cherry red saree to ware for the meeting.

Finally I'm ready but it's already 7.25pm .I'm late. God just please make sure that he don't leave the restaurant without meeting me. I literally ran towards my car & immediately start the engine. It's takes 12 minutes drive to reach Velvet & Vine. After infinity, finally I have reached the restaurant. I immediately get out of the car & picked out my phone from my bag to message him.

Ishani: I'm here .

Reyansh: you're late.

Ishani: sorry, there were some. emergency at the hospital. I hope you're still in the restaurant.

....

Reyansh: yes, I'm. You wait outside I'm coming.

Ishani: OK.

I was waiting suddenly a 6 feet tall , fair skin , attractively handsome man came to me.

The man said," Ishani let's go" I was shocked. This is the man I'm going marry. I said ," Reyansh,.. right?" He said ," Yes, Reyansh Shekhawat. Now let's go." After that I entered the restaurant with him beside me. The restaurant as usual gorgeous like heaven. Beautiful. I rarely go to any luxurious restaurants because I feel it's waste of money. Whenever I say this to my parents ,they started to doubt that I'm their child. People crave for luxurious but I like simplicity. But I guess this time this luxury is worth it. I was in my deep thoughts when suddenly Reyansh said ," Here's the table." He pull out the chair for me & I sat on the chair.

Nice gentle man behaviour, I thought. Then he also sat on the chair opposite me. After several bits he said," you are kind of lucky that I waited for you. I usually don't wait." & that's when this man ruins his gentle man image & came to his real face. I said,"Not really, because you are the one who wanted to meet me. That's why you wait , I also would have wait if I were in your place."

When I said this he was making kinda irritating face. Made face because I don't care, I thought. Then he said," Fine,let's order something first." Then he call a waiter & passed the menu to me. I ordered latte & cheese cake. After that I passed the menu to him & he ordered black coffee & Almond croissant. " that's way whatever he says it's bitter because he like to have black coffee," I murmured. Suddenly he said," what you just said." I was stunted . Then I said, " nothing. I was just saying that about what you want to talk about." He said," oh yes. Well, I like to clear some matters between us before the marriage happens." I hummed with him. Then he said," As you know this is an arrange marriage but please don't expect much from this marriage." I was speechless but after several bits I said," so..., you like someone." He immediately said," No that's not the reason. It's just what it is . My family want me to marry you that's why I said yes to this marriage." I said," I'm also marrying you because of my family" suddenly the waiter came with our order & served us. After the waiter was gone from our table he said," so this is simple. You don't want this marriage neither I . So, this is kinda roommate arrangement." I nearly choked in my food . Then I said," roommates..?" He said," Yes. Do you have any problem, then say no to this marriage." Exactly I can't. I said," if not you than someone else but I have to marry someone. So , there is no choice for me." Then he said," same goes with me. So this is a deal." & brought his hand to front. I also brought my hand in the front & handshake with him. I said," Yes, it's a deal then." Than we brought our hands back to ourself & started having our coffee. After done with our food he paid the bill & we exited the restaurant him by my side. Then he said," come, I will drop you." Again gentle man but don't get trap into his this charms & all. I said," No it's fine. I came with my car." He hummed. Then I waved my hand & said goodbye to him,unlocked the car & entered the car.

Then I take a deep breath. " it was a long day," I said to my self . After that I started the car engine & left from there for my home.
