ArShi SS: Forced Marriage #2 Link to thread THREE page 1

Marhaba,

Welcome to the second thread of Forced Marriage.

Thank you so much for the love you show for the story. It's really overwhelming 🤗

I feel like sharing something with you now just to let you know how I got the storyline of the FF. My cousin, who is a friend of mine, got married forced by my uncle. If it were not because of him, she would have never agreed to get married. That's how the idea of a forced marriage came. But then, I did not want the story to be like her life, I wanted change. The stubbornness of Khushi and my cousin's is almost the same. If I got married when I was eighteen, probably I would have been just like Khushi; not that I'm against the idea of marriage or I was immature, but I really was not ready for marriage, and the proposals I got made me more stubborn (Just like Khushi from my other FF The Twilight. Hehehe).

Not that I would fantasize my married life to be like this. Not at all! With the dreams I have I cannot compromise my life for someone... a mere stranger. Thankfully, Papa understands this, but Mama sometimes is too much especially if the potential groom is good in her standards, she would ask Papa to agree just like what she did on the last Monday! We can't just take any decision in life in a hurry and of course not marriage; the consequences might be destructive sometimes.

I really sometimes wonder how arranged marriages work? But Mama words echo in my mind at thinking of this question when she says, "When I was sitting beside your father on a chair or our wedding ceremony, he pointed at a girl saying that she was his girlfriend. But now look at how we are. The smart woman is the one who can make her husband only hers and made him forget all the girls before her."

Many of you wish to get a husband like Arnav, right?

On Monday too, I watched the last scenes of 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' which had me thinking if any of you relate this story to the movie somehow or not! The lyrics shown down fits perfectly with the coming chapters. I really want to know if anything around you reminds any of you of this FF, any encounters, any news, gossips or movies.

Na Kuch Poocha, Na Kuch Maanga

Tune Dil Se Diya Jo Diya

Na Kuch Bola, Na Kuch Tola

Muskura Ke Diya Jo Diya

Tu Hi Dhoop, Tu Hi Chaaon

Tu Hi Apna Paraya

Aur Kuch Na Jaanu, Bas Itna Hi Jaanu

"Call me if you need anything," he said smiling at her standing at the main door. She just smiled nodding as she felt him coming a step closer, but she did not move anticipating his next move. She felt a strange excitement rush inside her to know what he was up to, and the next moment she knew. She got the asnwer as his lips brushed gently on her forehead for a second. "Take care," he said earning a sheepish smile from her before leaving to work.

It was not the first time she had seen her parents close, but this time it felt different...maybe because she is married now and has a husband. Were they supposed to be that close?

I'm saving more for the update; just want to surprise you.

I have a poetry exam tomorrow, so I could not update the chapter though it's ready on papers.

Take care,
