Driti POV~
I wake up with the irritating sound of my alarm and my eyes widened to see it's already fivr in the morning. Now I am the married woman, So I have to take care of my family and my husband who is my crush,no...my love from my childhood. I am finally married to a man I love. I am really happy. I tied my hair into a pony tail and freshened up myself.
My routine is always going for a morning jog. Actually I have to say that this a castle where if we walk from one floor to another floor it is enough for a one person exercise. I descended the grand stairs and went to a garden and started jogging. There is freah air and I feel very light. After one hour of morning exercise, I quickly went to my room and had a bath and selected a red chiffon dress.
After wearing the dress, I quickly went to kitchen to see the head chef is ready with the ingredients, I asked yesterday. I know Dhruv love pancakes a lot with peanut butter. So, I decided to make pancakes today.
I and headchef are making the pancakes and I have given instructions to the head of maids to take care of cleaning, laundry and many.
As this a big mansion, Ofcourse when yoir husband is a neat freak we have to take care of these cleaning and all.
"Mrs.Oberoi, Can ask you something? ", headchef named Katie murmured but I can hear clearly.
" Yes, you can", I said and "Don't call me Mrs.Oberoi you can call me Driti as we are same age", I said my offering a smile.
" Well....That is .... Many staff members and I have observed that you never appear before Mr.Oberoi even if it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am crossing my line but I am asking as a friend and if you don't like to talk, I will never ask again", she said this all in one go and I know she was nervous.
"Hey..Don't worry. I will not shout on you. It's obvious that we have a ill-fated relationship. Act...Actually he doesn't like me", my eyes are filled with tears.
" I'm sorry ma'am, I'm sorry", your emotions are triggered beacuse of me.
"It's fine, now go and setup table", I said to her while wiping my tears.
" Okay ma'am, I will set up the table right now", she said left the kitchen immediately.
When I made this decision, I know I have to go through all this but this can't make my love broke for Dhruv.
Dhruv is my childhood friend. Our families are close. Dhruv's dad Daksh and my dad John are best friends and they both have become friends in their struggle period.
My dad, John also helped Daksh uncle to expand the business and they are business partners in many deals.
We both met at a party, where Dhruv is a extrovert and can easily mingle with anyone on the otherhand, I am introvert and I always used sit at a corner of the party.
One day when Dhruv was talking to someone in the party and sat in the corner sofa and I am iny own world.
Sometimes, I have observed him. I used to think how handsome and how intelligent he is. The one thing that I like is, he is extrovert and expresses his feelings nicely and politely.
I don't know , when I end up liking him. From that time , I used to wait for parties. In one party, my dad introduced me to Daksh uncle's family and then I got to know that he is the son of Daksh uncle. That was when I realized that he is my childhood friend who used to tease me a lot. Due to some problems that shifted to different place and we both separated and met after many years. I was happy that I can meet him.
All I can see him is in some of business meetings and parties but I can sense that something is wrong in Dhruv. The extrovert and smiling Dhruv was changed into a arrogant man who bears a big frown on his forehead. I don't know waht is the reason but it made me anxious.
I asked Daksh uncle about him. The only thing he said is, "One day, he was devastated and came with wounds. After this, he became a workaholic, never smiles and barely comes home", he said with tears.
" I want him to marry someone so that he can change. Can you marry him?", he said to me.
"Uncle, Dhruv also must agree right?", I said looking down.
" His opinion doesn't matter now!! What is your opinion?", he asked by patting my head.
"What do you mean uncle? You want to force him?", I asked him with wide eyes.
" That thing you leave it to me. Do you like him? Do you want to marry him? I and John have discussed this matter already. If you are ready then we can proceed", he said with reassuring smile.
"I like him but...but..his opinion...", I was cut off by him.
" Then it's final. I will give this good news to your dad", he said without listening to me.
Suddenly the spoon fell down and I came out from my thinking section and saw Dhruv is coming down the stairs.
"Oh my god !!!! I have to hide", I said to myself. I saw headchef Katie coming towards me running to tell that Dhruv is coming.
" Ma'am you have to hide, sir is coming towards the kitchen", she said hurriedly.
I went and hide myself in a cupboard and hoping Dhruv doesn't see me otherwise it will be worst.
