Sonia

"I have heard you already and you know that I really can't express myself in front of him than also you are pushing me? " I asked my friend Vidhi. She is happily married to her live life and Ashish and Bhoomi are also married and now I am the only left.

"If I won't push you than will you confess your feeling for him?" I know that she is saying the truth but I really can't push myself. I think I still need time for mustering up the courage and go in front of him and say those three words. "Are you there or not?"

"I am over here but I will think about this later."

"You are taking so much time. You better confess to him soon."

"I will talk about this later." And before she could say anything further I hung up on the call. Having crush on someone is a blessing as well curse. It is blessing because you are devoted to them and all the time think about and do everything to get their attention and it is curse because even after so many try they doesn't see you more than that. Why is it difficult to have crush on someone? Suddenly my phone started to ring and I groaned and wanted to throw the phone away but when I saw that it was from my mother, I sighed and picked it up.

"Yes ma?" I said which was followed by the nervous laugh.

"I have sent a photo of a boy. Look at him and tell me." I took away the phone and sighed. My mom really want me to set me off to someone else house. I don't want to see his photo as well.

"Ma, I....." Before I could say anything she cut me off.

"I know what do you want to say Sonia. You don't want to see the photo of that person." I sighed.

"Mom this time I want to say that I want to find the person whom I am love and don't want to marry some stranger."

"And you also know that this is against our tradition." I sighed.

"Ma, I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"Listen I will give you one month and if you can't find your partner than believe me that I won't listen to you after this one month. Do anything and I won't even call you in this month. Do whatever you want do." After that she cut the call. I know that I have made her angry but I think she never understands me. From the beginning of my life I had seen her strict side only never the soft side. I had used to see the other kid mother who had pampered them and loved their kid. I sighed. Sometime I can't understand why can't she be soft? When I used to see my friends doing fun, I always hesitated because of the fear of my mother because whenever I used to do something wrong than she used to punish me.

My father was the one who had made me feel that I am the princess and I could win this world. He had motivated me that I should choose IPS officer as a career so that I could be busy and get away from my mother. Sometime I want to shout out in front of her why can't she love me like other mother love their child? But her fear is more than my words, which always make me take the step back.

Now I have one month before I find my groom and I want only one person as my groom. Garv Khanna. My prince charming with whom I have dreamt to get married but I know that he doesn't looked at me more than friend. I don't know how I will do this but now I will make him fall for me so that I could get married with him. I want him in my life. I love him. I can't deny this anymore. I will confess my feeling but not now but if I felt that my this plan is failing than I will confess my feelings for him and this time I don't want to wait any longer.

Mom I don't know what will I do that will satisfy you but this time I will do what I like. Till this age I have tried everything which can make you proud on me but now I really don't want to give up my happiness just because of some stupid reason called marriage. I want to life my life from now on and my happiness lie in Garv. Suddenly my phone started to ring this time it was Garv and a smile came over my face and I quickly picked up his call.

"Hello Garv."

"Hi Sonia, I wanted to tell that we are going away to London for one month and you are accompany me right?" I grinned.

"I will definitely accompany you." I smiled and he chuckled.

"Then see you at the airport and be at the time at 11 am we will leave for London." I nodded even though he can't see me.

"I will come, I will come." And after that the line went died. I wish we could have talked for more time but no worries we are going to have a lot of time there. I hope that I could claim his heart over there. London I am coming and please do help in claiming the heart of my crush. I really want forever with him

Sonia

Our flight had landed in London and I was thankful to Ekansh who was such a great company. I guess from now our path are different.

"Do you think that we will meet once again?" I heard his voice and a smile appeared on my face.

"If God wishes than we will." I said and come out of there and went towards my team.

"Guessing you have found a new mate." Payal said and I rolled my eyes at her. Why does she have to be this much annoying every now and then.

"No I haven't. I just found a new friend." I said.

"You want me to believe those words." She is a headache for me. I still want to question the authority have they taken a officer or a parlour in our team.

"Will you guys stop throwing words at each other." Garv said and we both feel silent but Payal was throwing draggers in my way. I think I should ignore this and let it go this time. "We have to reach to the hotel as well." He said and we both nodded and we book a taxi and we put our luggage. The two bags were carried by Payal and both me and Garv and I were having one luggage after that Payal went and sat in front and I think she thinks that Garv will sit beside her but the table turned. "Sonia you also sit behind. I will sit in the front." I nodded. I would rather sit in front than beside her but I had already given her chance to sit beside him in flight. I sat at the back and Garv sit in front and after that the taxi moved on and I could feel glares on me but I decided to ignore it.

"I wish that you get hell." She mumbled and I looked at her and she looked away. She really want me to go to hell. I went towards her.

"Don't wish bad for others who knows that you will end up like your thinking towards somebody else." And she instantly looked at me with angry eyes and I only smiled in her way and after that my phone started to ring and I saw that it was from my father. I picked it up.

"Where are you Sonia?" He asked and I realised that in excitement I haven't told in my family that I am going to London for one month.

"Sorry, dad I forget to tell you. When I will reach, I will call you." I said and hung up. Why I have to be clumsy like this? When it comes to Garv, I would be like the most clumsy person in the world.

"You haven't told your parents that you are in London?" Garv asked me and I looked in the rear view mirror through which he was looking at me only. I shook my head.

"Last night I was kind off got into conflict with my mother and after that you called me to tell me about this trip and that is why in excitement I forget to tell my parents that I will be away for one month in London." And also that I have to find my groom in one month.

"You better inform them soon or else they will be worried about you." He said and I nodded.

"How clumsy you are!" Payal mocked me and I glared at her and she was smirking only.

"Can't you keep your nose out of my situation?" I asked her and she made a face.

"That is my hobby so sorry I can't do that."

"Let me tell you that you have got very bad hobby." She didn't care about what I have said but she acted like she didn't heard anything but I know that she heard every single word but she is behaving like that she didn't heard any of my words and I am well aware that she is doing this just to make me more furious than I am right now.

"We have reached the hotel." We come out of the taxi and took our luggage and I saw the hotel and saw the luxurious hotel in front of me. It was beautiful. We entered in the hotel. "I have already book the rooms for us." Garv added and he went towards the reception. I started to look around when my eyes fall on someone and that was none other than Ekansh who was coming inside through those doors and his eyes also fall on me and a smile appeared on his face and he quickly came towards me.

"I thought that there would be less chance to meet you again but I have finally meet you." He said.

"I also thought the same but you here?" I asked.

"I have booked a room over here only. Wait over here for few moments." And he also went towards the reception.

"Sonia this is your room number." Garv said and handed me the card of my room which was room no 117.

"What is your room number?" I asked him and he hold his card against my face and I saw that his room no is 116.

"I have got my card too." I heard Ekansh voice and he saw me his card without me asking him and it was 118.

"Your room is right next to mine."

"I don't know what to say about this but it is a coincidence or a plan?" Garv mumbled this and I heard it because I was close to him and I looked at him with questioning eyes and he looked away. We entered in the lift and went to our floor and then we made our way towards our room.

"You guys freshen up we will soon have the lunch." Garv said and entered inside his room. I also entered inside my room and locked the door behind and first thing I did was jumping on my bed. Uhh....this is heaven. I don't know why but Garv was acting weird today and I am feeling like that he is hiding something which he will be able to tell but he won't tell that easily. I want to know what he is thinking.

Sonia

I was very excited when I knew that I am going to get away with Garv for a time being but why didn't I asked in excitement if someone will join us or not. It would be better if I would have asked him about then I wouldn't be feeling hurt right now. I saw the person who was smirking in front of me. Payal. She is beautiful and is most people crush but who is her crush is also mine. We both like Garv and there is always a competition between us. Well I am glad that she didn't attended my best friend's wedding or else I would have murdered her. Well murdering someone is crime but you have to take those steps when you want to protect something. But Garv doesn't even give me a clue about that he likes me so I will protect her.

"Garv why didn't you told me that Payal will also join us?" I asked him and he rubbed the back of his neck and looked over Payal who was busy applying her lipstick and I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry, but she was requesting me again and again about this that is why I decided to take her with me." I sighed. Why you have to be so much kind to her? She is a devil.

"Garv." Here you go. The devil had roared. I sighed and Garv also went towards her. I titled my head a bit and was looking at them and I know that I must be giving a weird look that is why I have restore myself.

"I have to handle all this thing for one month. Uhh....where am I stuck." Hmm...this one month is so much familiar. It is ringing in my mind and that too in the form of my mother's voice and suddenly I realised what she had said. Her words were like bombs which will explode after one month.

"Listen I will give you one month and if you can't find your partner than believe me that I won't listen to you after this one month. Do anything and I won't even call you in this month. Do whatever you want do."

I sighed. I have to claim Garv's heart before one month or else I have to marry the person whom my mother had selected and I don't want to marry anyone else but Garv. He is my life. Though running away is sounding as a good idea but I don't want to do anything which will make my mother detach away from me. I have to do something and this London opportunity is the best and I won't let it go at all. I will make Garv mine.

"Sonia where are you lost?" I heard Garv's voice and I shook my head. "Let's go it is time for our flight." I nodded and we went inside the flight and let me tell you the best thing and that is I have got a window seat which didn't fancy me but the person who is sitting beside me and that is Garv and I looked back and saw anger on Payal's face. I would have teased her but I am not in the mood of teasing her and teasing her will only low my dignity and my dignity is more important than teasing her. Well by looking at her face I could tell that she will bust as soon as possible and that didn't take much second as well when she stood up and come towards me and stand in front of us and she looked at me with ray of hope.

"Can I seat on the window seat?" She asked with a smile on her face and I looked at her with questioning look.

"Why?" I asked her even though I know why she is asking but she won't say that. She just wants me to get away from here.

"Actually if I sit on the side seat than I would feel like to vomit that is why I want to exchange our seat." I rolled my eyes at her acting and I looked at Garv who was looking at me only. Though I want to reject her but I won't do that in front of Garv. If we were alone than world war would have taken place.

"If you will feel good than I don't have problem in exchanging the seats with you." I smiled and sat on her seat. The window seat which was next to me was empty I guess the person haven't arrive yet. I took out a book and started to read it and let me tell you novels aren't in my list and that is the only thing which my hand went upon. These novels are best sleeping pills for me.

"I don't think that you really like to read the novels." I heard the voice and I looked up and found a man who was handsome but wasn't attractive to me at all but wait a minute how does he know that I don't like to read novels.

"How do you know that?" I asked him and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your focus is not at all on the book but in your thoughts, now please get aside a bit." I looked at him with confused eyes and then he pointed on the seat beside me and I realised that this seat is reserved by him. I stood up and he went inside and sat down.

"I didn't expected that my flight will become beautiful." He was saying while looking out of the window but I don't know why I felt that he was indicating to something else. He looked at me with a smile. "Hi, My name is Ekansh Rai." His voice was like honey but it will create cavity in my teeth.

"Hi I am Sonia Aggrwal." I said.

"So where are you going?" He asked. Why I am feeling like he wants to know about me?

"London." And he stared at me in surprise.

"I am also going to London. You are going alone?" I rolled my eyes. He is way too much interested in me.

"No, I have some mates who are in front seat." And after that our conversation started and I was happy that I got someone with whom I could talk rather than reading those novels and kept sleeping until the flight ends.
