"No, contract marriage is just an agreement; I would rather not marry," she replied.
Rishi's face worsened. It looked like their relationship had no future. He had come here thinking he would sort out everything quickly, but she was unwilling to listen. His eyes started to become moist. 'What else can I do? Is there really no way?'
He wanted to scream, Shout at this world, at his fate. Why was his luck so bad? Other girls at least gave some hope, like becoming millionaires or billionaires. Bring me this, Bring me that—here was the one who straight up rejected him.
Kajal noticed the silence behind her. She looked back and saw him so sad for the very first time. She could see his eyes becoming misty and felt the pain. This had happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to react; she never thought a situation like this would arise.
She thought she would first pursue her dreams and then think about other things herself. She had a lot of time, but from what she could see, this guy behind her was pacing things down for her. It wasn't that she didn't like him or never thought about having a romantic relationship with him.
She would be lying if she said she felt nothing for him, and then their lives also looked fated. They had many twists and turns, but they always ended up together. She wants their relationship to grow with time. Instead of being emotional, let's ask me the three questions I came up with and decide that she would never marry if even one of them fulfilled her expectations.
Q.1) Do I like him?
She would have answer it like, 'Who would like him?' if someone asked her? But she couldn't lie to herself. Somewhere deep inside her heart, he had made a place for himself. As they were spending more time together and getting to know each other, she felt that she might be feeling more than just a liking for him.
Why has this had to be so tough? This Rishi idiot—I had to suffer so much because of him. After I sort out my thoughts, I will think about how to teach him a lesson.
Q.2: Can I trust him?
The answer was easy; she did trust him. 'They had spent nights together,' her ears became red, 'not in that way,' she said to herself. The point was that she had noticed him because, because of her habit, she had always noticed everyone that approached her. He was the one who had no trace of any negative emotion other than the 'possessive' one when he approached her, and while he tried to hide it from her, he couldn't hide it.
Q.3: Will I be able to be happy with him and achieve my dreams?
This one was tricky; how can she predict the future? All she could do was think about what she had seen and felt. If things changed later, she had only herself to blame. Let's break it into two parts: first, am I happy with him? She closed her eyes and started thinking about their time together. She found that she was never this happy when she was alone.
Even in her clan, she was never this happy because they bothered her about marrying, and she needed to spend most of her time training alone. From alone, she remembered she never felt lonely with him. It's a green tick, then. She took a deep breath. She had never thought someone would come so close to filling out all her checklists.
Now to the second part: Will I be able to achieve my Dreams with him?
She didn't know how to answer this, but at last, this was only an excuse she had all the time. She closed her eyes again and started thinking about what he had done for her. As she started remembering everything he had done for her from the start, she realized something.
Due to the people around her constantly forcing her and reminding her that she would be married, this world stuck in her mind, and her head started feeling that it was not good for her and that she would not be able to achieve her dreams once she was in a relationship.
It became something deeply rooted in her, and without knowing passively started things, marriage would stop her from pursuing her dreams. Now that she thought about it, what had he not done for her? If she had thought deeply about this question, it should have never come to her mind. Now that she had thought about everything by putting herself in his place, she felt like she was hitting her head on a wall.
Am I that stupid? She thought. She sighed, clenching her fists. Now that the decision was made, she started blushing, wondering how to tell this idiot behind her, Let's have fun now.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Stop it, cry baby; I hate people who cry," she said. Rishi looked at her; the moistness in his eyes dissipated the next moment. "Who is crying?" He looked at her, thinking in his mind, What choice have you left for me other than crying over our fate?
"Listen, after thinking about it for some time and looking at your pathetic self, I think I cannot help but feel a little sad. So being someone with good manners and a big heart, I am willing to let you have the honor of becoming my husband, but I have one wish," she said in an arrogant tone as if she were doing him a favor.
"Really," said Rishi, as he became full of joy. He hugged her tightly, ignoring her arrogant attitude. He looked at the sky and said, 'Did this world finally decide to show some pity on me and cure the brain of this girl?'
She pushed him back a little and said, "Listen to my condition first."
"Yeah! What is your condition? I am curious to know," he asked, looking at her with a curious expression. Preparing himself, he might need to work hard to achieve it.
She cleared her throat and increased the pitch of her voice. "I want you to let me become the City Lord of Punaya City once it is established."
Turning behind to look at his funny face, she discovered that the reaction was as expected. His face had become blank, as if he had forgotten everything. "Can you repeat it? Maybe I didn't hear it right?" he asked.
She repeated herself and controlled her laughter, looking at his face. "What happened? Have all your feelings blown away?" she poked. While his feelings were genuine, every man had ambitions. How could he let her become City Lord? He would become the center of mockery.
"Oh," he said as he looked at her. Their eyes met again, and she struggled to make a serious face while controlling her laughter.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. "Ok, you can be City Lord then."
She looked at his face, her eyes widening in shock. He brought his hand closer to her face and held it, looking at her. Then he hugged her and said, "I thought you would ask something more dificult."
