Will you marry me ?

A small story...

Ahana, a beautiful and charming girl living in Mumbai. Her only family is her mother and a younger brother, who is five years younger than her. Her mother is a teacher in a private school and she runs the home.

Ahana has just completed her engineering and she got the job in the best company in Mumbai during the job interview.

"Mumma, I'm so happy, you can't even believe this, Mumma," Ahana jumped happily and was moving around her mother happily.

"What happened, my princess?" Her mother just asked her with a surprise.

"I got a job as an assistant engineer in the company," She happily announced hugging her mother.

Her mother is also happy as her daughter has achieved what she deserves. Now she is worried about his son, who wants to be a doctor and how studying in twelfth. She is also felt relaxed as now Ahana will help her and they will be able to pay fees of the medical college for his son Ayaan.

She cooks her favourite dishes, They enjoyed it a lot.

It has been a year, she is working in the same company. A man named Nilay has joined the company recently. He is her senior and contingently, she is working under him from now onwards.

He is rude and arrogant as his post was so high and the salary was more than others'. But he never misbehaves with Ahana ever. He is always sweet and sober for her.

Gradually, she falls for him and he also asked her to be his date. On the day of valentines, he asked her knowing in front of her in his cabin, "Will you be my Valentine?"

"Yes," She accepts roses and assured him and that she will be only his Valentine.

They started dating each other. Probably, they were looked at by people everywhere.

But Ahana is a mature girl. She always agrees to go with him whenever he asks but she doesn't cross her limit yet. Even, Nilay asked her often to get her close to him but she refused it constantly.

One day...

"Nilay... Are you serious about this relationship?" She asked one day while they were sitting in the cafe.

"Yes, of course, any doubt, love?" He asked her back.

"No, I think, I should clear something," Ahana sighed as she was expecting that he would understand her situation.

"What should be clear?" He asked bluntly as there was no impact on him.

"I belong to a middle-class family. You know about my family. Eve, After marriage, I have to help my family as Ayaan want to be a doctor and you know the fees of medical colleges," She asserted in a single breath.

He remained silent. She was explaining to him her situation but he was lost somewhere. Meanwhile, their snacks have been served. He changed the topic and they started eating.

After that day, Nilay was maintaining a gap between them, she was feeling it. It has been a week, they even didn't out in this week. He didn't talk to her properly and didn't receive her calls.

Abruptly, she went to his cabin and rushed inside. He ignored her and dug his head into the file.

"Nilay, what is your problem?" She asked directly. There was moisture in her eyes and it will roll over her cheeks anytime.

"What?" He asked as nothing happened.

"Why are you avoiding me?" She finally cried. She can't control her pain and it flooded through her eyes.

"Look, I don't want to marry any charity case. I'm sorry. I'm not continuing this relationship further.

" Nilay..." She screamed but it didn't affect him.

"Why?" She knelt and cried a lot.

"Because you will pay your salary to your family after marriage, as your brother needs money for further studies. I am not so filled with kindness that will allow you to pay all the fees of your brother until he finishes his study," He shrugged off and dug his head again into the file.

With a broken heart, she exited the cabin. It's was not expected by her.

Days are passing, she was scoffed at by the employees as she was trash who has been used by her senior and threw after using it.

Nilay asked her often that if she will not give her salary to her mother, he will marry her but she refused it. She chooses her family over her love.

She has decided to resign from the job and she typed her resignation letter. She signed carefully and placed it on his desk and exited the premise of the office.

Today, she is later than usual. She directly reached home and saw some guests at home. She was surprised to see an old couple sitting on the small sofa of the living room.

"Hello," She greeted and bowed.

"They are here to ask about your wedding. They like you as a bride of their son," Her mother asserted and she angrily stormed out of the kitchen.

"Excuse me," She sat opposite of them.

"I need to clear something. I have designed from the job and got a new job in another company but My mother and brother need me. So, I quit. I'm not ready to marry anyone until my brother settled in his life," She sternly replied. They chuckled hearing her.

Why are they laughing?

"We are Nilay's parents," The old man replied and chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I teased you a lot," She heard Nilay's sound and she whirled to see him standing at the door.

"Nilay..."

"I was testing your patience. You won. I'm glad you are still in my life," He was smiling

Ahana was stunned by his entry.

"Down to the earth," He played a pinch in front of her.

"We have no problem with it. We find the best bride for my son," His mother hugged Ahana.

She was speechless and feeling like she was muted by someone.

"Will you marry me?" He asked again kneeling in front of her. No matter their parents are gawking at them.

"Yes..." she whispered and soon she is in his embrace.
