A Loveless Arranged Marriage Chapter 19. All's well that Ends well

  Previously, we saw that Deepa had returned home, and Rishi was very happy to see her. After that, they both went to their native places. During this period, Rishi tried to drop some hints about his feelings for her, but she didn't understand them. Let's see what happens next.   It's been about two weeks since their vacation. It was the month of March, and the day was March 13. The sun was blazing down on the earth, making it a hot, sunny day. In Rishi's house, Deepa was sitting in the living room with a laptop on her lap. She appeared quite nervous about something, and at that moment, Rishi came from the kitchen with a glass of orange juice. He handed the juice to her. Deepa took it, and Rishi asked, "How much time is left for the result?" Deepa replied, "Just 2 minutes." Rishi said, "Don't be nervous; everything will be fine." Deepa responded with a simple, "Hmm," but as the time drew near, her nervousness only grew.   At 1...

A Loveless Arranged Marriage Chapter 18. A Visit To Native

   Previously, we saw that Deepa had passed her Mains exam, and after two months, she boarded the train to Delhi with her tutor and classmates, Vasundhara and Saad, for the UPSC interview. During that period, Rishi began to miss her. After the interview, all four of them boarded a train to Mumbai. While she was going to inform Rishi about their arrival, Vasundhara suggested that Deepa play a prank on Rishi by saying they had missed the train. After the call, Rishi became depressed, but the next day, Deepa surprised him.   The moment Rishi saw Deepa, he froze for a moment. He felt butterflies in his stomach. In a soft tone, he asked, "De... Deepa, you told me you missed the train." Deepa, with an innocent smile, replied, "Hmm, see, that was a prank." Rishi gave her an angry look, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, come inside the house." They both went inside, and Deepa started sharing her experiences during the interview and her tour of Delhi. Rishi watch...

A Loveless Arranged Marriage Chapter 17. The Interview

  Previously, Deepa had met her ex-lover, Arul. Before their conversation, she was still in pain from her previous relationship. At Rishi's insistence, she finally spoke with Arul, and after the conversation, she felt relief from her pain. Four months later, Deepa took her UPSC prelims, and two weeks after that, the results were out. Deepa managed to pass the prelims.   Now, it was November 21st, and the winter breeze filled the room. The time was 10:56 p.m., and Deepa was in Rishi's house, sitting in the living room with a laptop on her lap. She was anxiously surfing the UPSC website, waiting for the mains results to be released in just four minutes. As the time drew closer, her heartbeat quickened, and she started sweating.   At exactly 11:00 p.m., she refreshed the UPSC website. A PDF document appeared. She downloaded it, and before opening it, she prayed silently. After her prayer, she opened the document and entered her roll number in the search box. She hit the ...

A Loveless Arranged Marriage Chapter 16. Time to forget the past

  Previously, we saw that Arvind and Shahina were blessed with a baby girl, and they named her "Isha."   Two weeks later, we find Rishi at his house, waiting for Deepa in the living room. Rishi was wearing a black blazer, a white shirt, and blue jeans. After some time, Deepa emerged from her room and asked, "Shall we go now?" Rishi was about to respond, but when he saw her, he was mesmerized by her beauty. Deepa was dressed in a black saree, her hair styled in side-swept curls, and she wore small earrings. After a few seconds, Rishi replied, "Yes, we can go now." They both left the house and headed to the parking lot. Once in the car, they started driving to Rishi's office. During the ride, Rishi complimented Deepa, saying, "Hey, Deepa, you look beautiful in that saree." Deepa replied, "Thanks for the compliment, but you could have chosen something other than formal attire." Rishi smiled and responded, "Yes, I thought about tha...
