Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 23: 22. The Unexpected

Anika's PoV

As soon as I hung up with my mom, I called Arun. Even after calling him five times, he didn't pick up my call. He must be at work. I decided to send him a message of this news and let him call when he is free.

‘Arun, my mom and dad want to meet you regarding our wedding. They said, if they find you fit, they will say ok to our marriage. Now that you got your job, I think they wont find any fault in you. We should be good. But don't panic, I have told mom that we will marry only after we get settled. Call me ASAP.’

I sent this message to him and waited for him to call. He read the message. I waited for his reply but I didn't get any. Maybe he is busy. I called up Nithu. I have to tell this to her. She would be happy for me.

"Hello, Nithu!" I squealed.

"Ah shh, Don't scream on the phone. You don't have work?" she asked me.

"Pch, listen to me. My mom and dad have asked Arun to come and meet them. They are getting wedding proposals for me from relatives. So they have decided to give me a chance before they decide."

"Oh, good. But you were talking about your job yesterday and now talking about your marriage!?"

"I asked my mom the same thing. Looks like someone had called up mom only today regarding my marriage. I have already sent a message to Arun."

"Message? just call him and tell him this happy news." She said.

"I tried, but he didn't pick up. Maybe he is busy or even mad at me for asking him to wait for a year."

"He is not angry. I don't know. But he never spoke about you or asked about you to me when we talked or messaged except for just formal health enquiries!" she said. Ofcourse, he is angry.

"He will be fine when I explain the situation." I told her.

"Mmmm, what about Arjun? Did your mom call him?" she asked me.

"I don't know. But I called him yesterday." I told her.
