Kria and Rey FF (Ch 2 Part 20 Pg 138) - Page 3

Chapter 1 – P 2

The next day Kria went and told Rey .. she is ready to marry him and move in with him for 1 year … She also made it clear that she would require around half the amount of the loan and also some more for starting up her books … She wanted to concentrate fully on writing books and not join her job immediately after coming back ….Rey was more than happy to comply .. Though his heart felt a bit heavy ..

Their marriage was a quiet affair .. Only Rey's family was present .. The person who was most happy with this marriage was Reena .. She had many times thought of Rey and me being together … But, I couldn't tell her the truth .. I can't imagine what her reaction would be if I say we are doing contract marriage … Oh God !!! Please help me … I didn't want to face her …

Rey's parents were really glad that Rey had decided to settle down with me .. They knew me and liked me .. I did feel very sad to betray all of them .. I felt I was cheating them .. How will I face them when we take divorce after 1 year .. How will they feel .. All this was making me very guilty … But at the same time I was excited that I had married Rey .. even though it was just on paper .. I really wished that Rey would have some feelings towards me since it would be just two of us for 1 whole year …

But, I was wrong … he was a man of his words .. We both moved to Muscat immediately after our so called marriage .. He was so busy with his work that he left home early in the morning to return late in the night … I used to wait for him to have dinner with him .. so that I could get some time to spend with him .. Yes , we did chat a lot .. about his work … since I had a lot of time in my hand I started with my books .. I used to tell him about my characters in the book … those 1-2 hrs were the sweetest time I could remember .. Then he would retreat to his room and me to mine … Everyday was the same .. I didn't even know when that 1 year got over … I can't say the whole year was a waste .. I did come to know about the real Rey .. he believed in love once ... but now after Lisa he couldn't trust anyone with love .. he had a bitter experience … he was not sure whether he was meant to love someone .. whether he can actually fall in love …

I knew him as a boy when I fell in love with him … One would think that after a decade that teenage crush or love would diminish with time … Not for me .. After being with him for 1 year .. I got to know him much better .. he was a passionate man .. he had an attitude of a go getter .. he would go out of his way to do anything for his family and friends … He was fiercely honest .. but at the same time a very loving and caring person .. She remembered the time when she had high fever .. that was the first time he had sat all throughout the night on her bed holding her hand .. Even though she was very weak but she had tried to sneak a peek at him whenever she could … He had held her hand so possessively … it was the best feeling she had every felt .. Maybe that was what healed her … She so much wanted to hug and cuddle with him and sleep but had restrained herself thinking about their contract …

I was proud to fall in love with such a man …

As this thought crossed my mind … I smiled .. I remembered what Reena once had told me … the original phrase was "If you love something … set it free .. if it comes back .. its yours and if it doesn't .. it never was" .. She didn't believe in this .. her line was "If you love something .. try to get it with all your will and power .. if you don't succeed it didn't deserve you " … I had never thought I would even dare to think of something like this .. But now I knew what I had to do .. I knew I wanted this man to see me as a woman not as a friend and please not as his sister's friend … I loved him more than myself and I really wanted him to know that … hmm … not just by saying those 3 words … before that he would be blown away with what he sees .. She literally let out a chuckle .. Realising that Rey was sitting next to her she became serious .. and started making her plans …

The announcement to board the flight was done and as she moved to take her seat … she was smiling slyly …
