Join the journey of their schemes and the result which was never expected by any of them. --------------- Shrishti, who grew up with love from everyone around her and with people who always take care of her the moment she opens her mouth, never expected to lose her first love. But then more than that she never expected to get into an arranged marriage part for sure. She was not against it but she was just not ready with the things she had to face because of that scheme. However, she doesn't want to break the promise she made to herself to not disturb her friends no matter what happens and just deal with whatever she has to go through. Somehow, it was more than she could handle by the end of it.
*Shrishti Pov*
When I took the tray into my hands after arranging the coffee mugs and teacups properly, one of the servants in the kitchen reached me saying, "I will bring them out, Madam."
"It's okay! You have other works to do. I am going to the garden anyway." Giving her a smile I turned around and started walking out of the kitchen.
After a few steps, I realized I forgot the glass of juice, I prepared earlier and without it, there will be another drama.
With a sigh, I turned around to step closer to the kitchen but paused hearing the conversation going on which is of course about me.
"I don't think she forgot the glass intentionally. Madam doesn't seem like that petty." So they realized I forgot the glass.
"She should forget it intentionally and it wouldn't be petty at all. The owner of this glass is acting too much like the future daughter-in-law of this house when Madam is already here. Madam has too much patience to not say anything." I closed my eyes before taking a deep breath.
"I seem to have forgotten the glass. Can anyone of you bring it over?" I called out without entering the kitchen and immediately there is the silence surrounding me.
"Thank you! I feel like every one of you is very efficient in handling the works in this house and I don't want any of you to get fired by getting caught by someone else during these gossip sessions. So, be careful about the words you say in this house." I calmly voiced out with a smile before walking away while trying to keep my smile intact.
Reaching the garden I found the guests talking to each other laughing which calmed down the moment I reached their sight but my smile didn't slip at all.
"Mom... Aunty! Here is your Tea with less sugar." I said passing the specific one after placing the tray on the table which she took without saying a word.
"Very sweet of you to remember that I don't drink Tea or Coffee and brought me Juice." I nodded at this guest who is the person earlier the staff is talking about.
"You are too health-conscious, dear. Even though you are taking a break from the projects, you still follow the diet with discipline. It is very difficult to find people with discipline these days." Aunty commented while giving her a genuine smile and at the same time poking me with those words.
After that, the others just laughed and continued to talk while I just stood there in silence and I don't know whether there is any difference between the furniture and me.
Checking the time, I turned around to walk back into the house knowing well he will be back by this time, and calmly passed the time while checking the magazine.
I smiled getting up when I saw him entering the house but the first thing he said was, "Where are they?"
This time I let the smile slip from my face which he realized before asking, "What happened?"
I sighed before saying, "If I tell you, will you really listen or just hear to my words before saying I am just imagining the things?"
"Not again, Shrishti!" he mumbled removing his necktie.
"I know! I am just being sensitive." I nodded before turning around and without pausing anywhere, reached our room before finally letting go of my fisted hands.
After sitting down on the chair near the window, I unlocked my phone to see a notification from Insta and it turned out to be from Anny which is just another post to tease Prathap.
I smiled looking at the post and this time it was genuine than any of my smiles earlier and somehow on instinct opened the contacts and typed his name but paused from pressing the call option.
No! Don't! Don't disturb them, Shrishti! Don't break your promise! You deserve all this! You deserve each one of these moments and don't take any kind of protection from your friends.

Odds! Wouldn’t it be odd to not have something to fight against like suppose just some odds that we have to face? We can’t just escape them for sure. I mean numbers can’t be complete with just even series, right? Just the same way, having odds has been a normal part of anyone’s life. Yeah, sometimes these can be weird too. Still, they can be overcome and many can be successful in doing that also. Alas! Some may not be able to do that. A couple had let the odd win as them staying together was the odd thing and it is not because they want to but because they are tired. For how much longer would two people try to fight the odds without help from outside? And hence the failure resulting in separation. If the odds are that powerful then what if them getting back together is odd this time? Well, let’s see if this time odds will win or not.

First, let’s meet the ones who faced some of the difficulties thrown at them wobbling on their feet. But, were they able to go on against all odds?
When we get too much involved in the act of pretending, we lose the idea of knowing the pretense of others. Isn’t that how it works? We don’t know the acts we do thinking good for the others even to the extent of hurting them to save them from major hurt will cause them to go through much more than we can think of. Sometimes it is not too late to correct the pretenses but sometimes it is late to amend them. Let’s see whether it is too late or just in time.
