Chapter 6: Chapter 6
We stayed busy and couldn't meet for a week. I went home feeling sluggish all over my body. I heard voices from the living room. They became silent at the ticking voice of my heels.
I saw a middle aged couple sitting on the sofa beside my parents. Rawil was settled beside them.
Rawil stood up and walked to me, " Welcome home."
I looked at his smile and turned my gaze to the middle aged couple as I never saw them before.
" Ahhh , they are my parents," he said tracing my gaze.
" Sweetheart! get changed and come out for dinner," my mother's words prompted me to walk towards my room.
I glanced at the maids preparing dinner like it was some big event.
I got changed and came out. Everyone was settled around the dining table already. I dragged a chair and settled down beside Rawil.
After dinner we left our parents talking and took a little walk outside.
" Rina, do you believe me now?" He asked while walking beside me.
" Believe what?"
" My parents are here to ask for your hand, although it was hard convincing them but that was the only way you would believe my words."
I froze at his words and turned to him, " Did you decided everything on your own? How can you bring them without asking me?"
" Rina I know you have the right to get angry but you wouldn't have believed me even if I told you, and I can understand why you will act like that. It's because your heart been broken once so it's not easy for you to trust anyone easily."
" So you just decided to bring your parents on your own," my voice cracked as my eyes became moist.
He stood still and looked concerned.
" You don't care about my feelings right."
" I do," he countered, ' I do care about your feelings Rina. I just had a hunch that we had mutual feelings so___ okay it was wrong of me. I am so sorry." His voice became quite.
I just kept looking down.
" I'm sorry for acting rashly." His words prompted me to look at his concerned face. I realised he was doing this to please me.
" It's okay. It can't be reverted," I replied as I didn't want him to worry, " But how did you convince your parents? I'm sure they would have opposed."
" Yeah they did oppose but I threatened them that I will leave home and company."
" Are you a little kid," I raised my eyebrows.
" I can become anything for you."
I stared into his eyes for a while and my heart filled with butterflies. I leaned to kiss him but he placed his hand at my lips.
" Our parents are here."
He looked a little taken back.
I pushed his hand away and kissed him at his lips that prompted him to kiss me back.
Our marriage was decided after two months. Meantime I became a hot issue in news articles for being a heart wrecker.
I came out of the car and saw a lady in red skirt with long black hairs standing on her back to me. She was looking at the people entering the company.
My heels sound prompted her to turn around and look at me. She was Sellina. A cold wave ran through my body.
" Here you are," she said approaching me, " I thought I should take a look at the girl who was placed in mighty Rawil's heart for years."
She scanned my body in blue office suit. She took a glimpse of my neatly tied hairs and said, " Maybe he is into simple girls with straight body. Honestly you look mediocre. No sense of fashion no lipstick and just take a look at your dress," she pouted, " I just can't understand how he fall for you."
" Me too," I wore a faint smile, " I myself can't understand why he liked me when there are thousands of charming girls wanting his attention. But there is one thing I know."
I took a step closer to her, " he left all those girls and choosed me . He is mine now." I crossed past her leaving her looking at me from behind.
I was wearing white gown once again but this time Rawil chose the gown. I had a bright smile at my face as I waited for Rawil to enter bridal suite.
He entered holding roses in his hand wearing white suit with flowers tucked on the left side of chest.
He settled down on one of his knees and looked at my face for a while, " Rina ! Why can't we stop the time. I wish I could, because right now I feel like my heart will explode with happiness. I don't want this to end and see your gorgeous face forever."
" Stop with the cheesy comments," I said shyly.
" I meant it." His words made me emotional.
" Me too. I'm so happy that I met you." I said as my eyes felt heavy.
" No ! No , don't cry otherwise your makeup will get messy," he said noticing and I burst out laughing and tried to look at the ceiling so that tears don't come out of my eyes.
I walked down the aisle with him and the wedding hall erupted with clapping and cheers. I looked at the bright smiles of my parents and turned my gaze to Rawil who was already looking at me.
Finally our video story was being played on the screen. I saw pictures of me from the University. Maybe Rawil took them. I was captured by different angles and different places. Looking at them I knew I made a right choice this time.
I didn't just chooses him, I chose myself, my happiness, a gentle and caring lover who can even sacrifice himself for me. A person who would do anything just to see a smile at my face.
Tears filled my eyes and Rawil quickly gave me tissues.
" Rina I will always love you like I do right now. You too , please stay by my side always."
I nodded in agreement.
