Amrit's POV

Wow! I can sing.

I am surprised.

I went and sat beside Vrushali and Subhadra.

"You really sing well" Subhadra praised me.

"Thanks" I said with a smile.

"So now the puja is over and we can go back to our palace." Rohini Kaki said.

Wait what?

Where is my future husband?

I mean the guy who was supposed to elope me.

Is he still asleep?

I mean my soulmate must be like me sleeping all the time.

And soon we all gathered our pooja thalis and went to our rooms.

After resting for a while, we met at the dining room to eat lunch?

I haven't eaten the breakfast and I am badly hungry.

I can't stay hungry.
For me, being hungry is like not sleeping for 10 days.

As soon as we started eating, I became eating like a....

Maybe animal.

Everyone were there. I mean literally every family member.

"Eat eat. By the way, you won't be able to eat tomorrow." Devaki Maa said on seeing me eating like that.

"Hain?"

That was literally my reaction on hearing that.

Why will I not eat?

Till now, even my mum had never even joked to me of not eating.

I can't be hungry for anyone!!

"Why Badi Maa?" Subhadra asked.

"It's one of the rituals. Amrit will have to fast the whole day tomorrow and will only eat after the maha aarti at night. And after that day, she will eat after her puja in the morning everyday. " Devaki Maa explained.

No!
That's not at all fair.
I can't starve just because I have to  get a good husband.
I can find a good husband without fasting as well.

"And on the day on svayamvar, she will eat only after her choosing her var"Rohini Kaki added.

And before that I will be dead.

I can't stay hungry for that long.

Kanha!!

I will start crying.

"But that's not fair." Kanha interrupted.

He is my true brother.

"Why Kanha?" Devaki Maa asked.

"I think that if she wants a good husband, she should fast even at night" He said with a cunning smile.

I hate you Kanha.

If there would have been some cousin of mine in his place, he would have got thousands of dead threats after this joke.

"No I won't " I said looking angrily at Kanha to which everyone started laughing.

Yeah yeah! I am the laughter material.

I mean the joker.

After eating, I went to my room

I am going to get married soon.
But now, I am missing Maa,Dadu, Papa and Choti.
How can I get married without them?
No that's not ok!

"Amrit!"

That voice sounds familiar.

I turned and saw..

"Maa!"

I ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"I missed you so much Maa" I said crying.

"Don't lie. You didn't even remembered me" She said angrily.

"But that's not at all true" I criticised.

"Don't argue with me. I am your mother." She scolded me.

"Ok ok" I said leaving her.

I turned the window.

"Maa, I am going to get married to someone maybe I don't even know." I said as I felt a tear roll down my cheeks.

"I feel so unsure and confused" I said turning to her.

"That happens to every bride before her marriage. And you have such a great family here" She said kissing my forehead.

I turned again as my eyes became teary.

"Plus you have two brothers" she added.

"Yeah"

"Just believe in them"

I nodded and turned.

But she was no where to be seen. Only Kanha was in my room. I hugged him and started crying.

"Kanha I miss maa really badly. Actually I miss everyone" I said in between.

"It's ok, Amrit" He said as he wiped my tears.

For a few minutes, we both were silent.

"Ok, now let's change the topic" Kanha said with a smile.

"Ok" I said wiping my tears.

"Give me the guest list or at least tell me who are invited in the svayamvar." I said in a demanding tone.

"You are so eager to know? I don't tell you, that's a surprise for you." He said with a mischievous smile.

"So what do you mean by that? Do you want me to hear the names in my svayamvar and choose the  one with the most interesting name?" I asked sarcastically.

"Not a bad idea" He said looking at me.

"But who said that you will marrying a guy you choose in your svayamvar. Destiny has something else planned for you." He said in a way which I thought he must be joking.

But then realisation stuck me.

"Ok good night" He said cunningly and went outside me room.

"Wait! What do you mean by that?' I shouted but he was gone.

What did he mean by that?

Did he meant that someone is actually gonna elope me before my svayamvar?

Why did he went away after leaving me suspense?

Why did he even gave me that hint?

Ugh!

Ok wait?

But who will elope me?

I don't even have a lover! Neither do I like someone.

Ok. Whoever will elope me must have a name.

His new name is Mr.Elope.

Nice name...

So Mr.Elope, who are you?

And when are you gonna elope me? Do you even have a plan?

To Be Continued.
