Hey Guys!!
First I would like to thank you all for giving a chance to my story "Agreement Marriage".
Kindly excuse me for any grammatical or other errors.
All the characters and the whole story was completely fictional, if it resembles any person or scenarios it would be a coincidence.
Here I had added few dark scenes to make the story interesting. Again I'm saying here I'm not supporting any sort of physical abuses and violence. Please don't take it personally, just consider as a story.
Any sort of copying the story, scanning or publishing the story without my knowledge is a kind of theft. Kindly don't do that.

Radhika's POV
Ting Ding... Ting Ding...
Ting Ding... Ting Ding...
Alarm Beeps
Mobile alarm alerts me it's time to get up. I switched off the alarm and rubbed my eyes to get clear vision and then checked my mobile. The clock indicates it's almost 6'o clock, so I got up from the bed and went inside the washroom to finish my routine. Soon after the bathe, I completed the morning pooja and went inside the kitchen.
"Good morning Appa
father
", Radhika said with a smile.
"Good morning Radhi", he anticipated with a pleasant smile.
We both continued cooking. My family is a nuclear family with four members and we hail from a middle class background. Now let me introduce them all to you.
I'm Radhika Narayanan, 23 years old and working as a software engineer. Here this is my father Narayanan, who he is a government officer. Next my little brother, Varun, he is studying third year engineering in a reputed institution. He left early morning with bread and tea as a breakfast because his college is so far from where we stay It will take at least two hours to travel to his college via bus. So, usually he leaves with his breakfast and he used to have lunch in his college canteen.
Sssssssss...
........ Cooker whistles I switched off the stove and cleaned up the kitchen.
Finally I finished cooking, now I have to pack the food and I need to get ready to go to my office, already I'm running late. Before going to office I have to check my mother, Lakshmi... When I thought about her I'm getting painful smile nowadays...
"Amma.. Amma...
mother
", I said bit louder. She opened her eyes and looked at me
"Good morning Amma.. how do you feel..", I asked her.
"Good morning Radhi... yeah I'm feeling better", she said and smiled.
I gave her a hug and took a new saree and towel for her and then I asked her,
"can I take you for bathe?", She nodded her head with a smile.
Slowly I took her to bathroom with a help of wheel chair and gave bath to her. After that I dried up her body and then dressed up her tidy. Throughout this time she didn't speak a word simply glared at me with a faint smile, but a pain behind that smile... I could feel it. I know what is running in her mind now, she might be thinking about that painful day. This is what happening in the last six months, how far we tried we can't make our mother out of that horrible accident. After that deadly accident, our lives turned upside down, it made my mom completely bedridden.
No... no... no, don't think about that day, now nothing gonna change even if I cry over again and again. Radhika, you have to be strong I said myself and finished combing her hair, tied it together. If my Amma know I'm hurt seeing her like this definitely she will also get hurt and worry for me more, so I don't want to give her a chance for that.
I said "Amma it's over" I made her lay down on the bed carefully then, I said
"Amma... It's done, now have your breakfast and then take your routine tablets, Amma please don't forget. I will call Appa to take care of you", I pecked a kiss on her forehead before I leave that room. She too kissed me back and caressed my face with lots of love. My eyes filled with tears at the pain of guilt, soon I moved away from that room hiding my tears.
"Appa... appa ...", I called him louder. He replied , "yes ma tell" .
"Appa give breakfast to Amma and then her medicines, I will get ready I'm getting late for office" I said to him.
He said "ok ma I will take care of he, I have more time you carry on. Also S
3hanthi sister will be coming here in sometimes, so don't worry she will take care of Amma". I nodded my head and left the place. After accident Amma always need someone to help her for utmost everything, she cant walk or do anything on her own so, we decided to hire a caretaker for her to look at her from morning to evening, till someone come back home after work. Most of the time Varun come before us so, he takes care of Amma.
After completing my regular works I entered into my bed room and I dressed up to goto my office,I weared cotton yellow tops and pink leggins with dupatta. I tied my whole hair as long pony tail, I applied sunscreen with kajal and lip gloss. I felt content seeing my own reflection in the mirror, I never do over make up I always believe in simplicity.
That was the main reason he fell for me, often he said when we were together. A drop of tears peeped out of eyes without my conscience. My thoughts went somewhere...
Uffff .....no Radhika please don't think about that bitter past, it was over I said myself and wiped away my tears.
I finished packing my office bag, lunch box and said bye to my parents. With a heavy heart I stepped out of my house to face my destiny which I was never thought of. I never knew that this day will change my life completely.
So what was that written in her destiny??
Let's see...
To be continued....
