Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

Tears welled up in my eyes hearing his name. I take a glass of water from side table of the couch and drink it whole until it's last drop to control my tears.

"You know you can tell me everything, right. Is everything okey between you two." She asked me putting her hand on my shoulder.

How do I told her what is going on between us. How could I told her that he hadn't talked to me for more then past three weeks. I also don't know what is going on between us. Why is he ignore me and the feeling, a heaviness in my heart which never leave, like it wanted to tell me that something bad is going to be happen.

"Di I don't know it's a nervousness which every girl felt before marriage or what else. But there is always a heaviness in my heart and a uncomfortable knode in a pit of my stomach which gave me bad feelings. I talked Siddharth more then three weeks before. I can't reach him even now keerti is also ignoring my calls." I told her honestly.

"Preeti..this is the nervousness before marriage nothing more then that which every girl experienced. I also passed through this phase. It's normal don't worry and about Siddharth, he is CEO now. He is handling a big company name on his shoulder. He has so many responsibilities. Many people have expectations to him. He must be busy in his work. He will call you definitely when he gets time." She said.

"Then why is keerti ignoring my calls?" I asked her looking at her.

"Only one week is left for wedding. She must be busy in preparation, you know what how she is!" She said giving me a smile.

I gave her a small smile but I know this not that kind of nervousness it's different. But I wish what Shivani di said was true.

"Now go, try this one." She said handing me a yellow lehenga. I took the lehenga from her and went to the changing room to try it.

"Preeti...beta...did you packed all things which you need in your in-laws house along with your sarees and jewelries." Mummy asked while giving me a box of bangles to pack in my begs.

Mummy, Shivani di and I are in my room. They helped me packing my stuff which I need after marriage.

"Yes, mummy I packed everything." I said while putting a box in my bag along with my other things. I zipped my suit bag and put them in my wardrobe.

"Preeti..try these earings. They will match with your red saree." Shivani said while giving me a pair of earrings.

"Shivani..shivani.." papa came into my room.

"Yes, papa" Shivani di said looking at him.

"Come beta...your monkeys are fighting with each other and I can't control them more." Papa said.

"Now what Abhi did to shreya? " di asked while getting up from bed.

"They are pulling each other's hair and shreya is crying." Papa said while walk out of the room with Shivani di.

I blankly watched the earrings in my head. My whole mind is thinking about Siddharth. What he is doing right now. Did he have his meal, is he busy in his office work or wedding preparation. Is he also missing me like I do.

I put earrings in it's box. I wish I can call him and asked him, is he alright and what he is feeling right now.

I wish I can call him and tell him to stop ignoring me, tell him I love him so much and I'm always with him no matter what.

My only source to reach him, keerti, also ignoring me. She didn't pick my calls and I miss her too. I missed her teasing. She always makes me smile even in my fallen mood.

I looked at mummy and she is busy checking my stuff, if I didn't forget anything to pack. Suddenly an idea comes in my mind. So what if I can't contact to Keerti and Sid. Mummy talks to Neeta maa or Akhil dad. May be she could tell me why keerti and Sid ignoring me. Last I talked Neeta maa one month ago but I know mummy and Neeta maa talked each other often.

"Mummy, do you talked Neeta maa on phone." I asked her.

"Yes.." She asked me folding a saree.

"When did you talk to her last." I asked.

"A week ago...What happened? Why are you asking? " she asked me.

"Nothing... I just wanted to talk to her. If you don't mind. Will you call her. My phone is dead, I put it on charging. " I said. I lied to her. I don't want her to suspicious anything and I also don't want to take any risk what if Neeta maa also didn't pick my call like Sid and keerti.

"Yeah..sure, one minute. " she said taking her phone from the bed and call Neeta maa.

"Strange, she is not picking her phone. She always picked my calls. Must be busy in wedding preparation, after all only one week is left. She will call me back when she gets time. I'll tell her to talk to you. " she said while giving me smile. I gave her small smile.

"Now, you should sleep. It's already late. Good night." She said walking out from my room.

"Good night mummy." I replied slowly while closing the door of my room after her.

I was sitting on my bed in the darkness. Only a bedside table lamp is on. Sometimes It's calm the heaviness of my heart.

I look at my engagement ring in my finger. The diamond on it is shining under the lamp light. A smile crept on my face when I remembered the moment when he slid the ring in my finger. My palm is all sweaty and my heart beats was their on maximum pace when I felt first time his touch on me. I felt a wave of spark passing through my spin.

Only a week is left of our wedding. Siddhartha and I were waiting this day for long. I experienced a lot in these days. I experienced his love, our fight and so many emotions. Just a few day after I'll see him again and after that I take my revenge from him for ignoring me. I just wanted to be him as soon as possible. I hope he called me and we will talk about our differences and a solution of our problems.
