Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 27: 26. The Disappointment

Anika's PoV

Once back home, mom asked me about Arun. I technically hate to tell her that he's not confirmed his visit yet. That will not be a good first impression. I believe that he would definitely make his time for us next week so I decided to tell her the same. Though she didn't question me, I could see that she was confused.

"What is bothering you, ma?" I asked her.

"Just wondering, our relative asks for your horoscope and biodata as soon as possible and here we can't decide until next week. What happened to the interview that your professor promised?" she asked me.

"Pch, that is not scheduled yet. I know we are going through a lot now, but please don't talk about my marriage just yet, ma. The most important thing I need now is a job. um... can you call and ask Arjun sir for a job?" I told her to divert her from my wedding topic. And I am badly in need of a job.

"You spoke very badly to him, Anu. How in the world can I ask him to help you? You said you didn't want his charity, why do you want to seek his help now?" my mom asked me, more like rubbed it on my face. She doesn't know I didn't mean any of it, I just wanted to make him stay away by hurting his male ego.

"Ma, please. I already apologized to him and he really enjoyed it when you hit me in front of him." I told her.

"See, even now you talk bad of him."

"You didn't see his face when you hit me, he was completely enjoying it. Pch, let it go ma. I am losing hope with all my contacts. Please, ma."

"Ok, ok, I will call him now. I will talk to him first, if he wants some information, you have to talk to him. Make sure to talk very politely to him." she said.

"I will!" I said and I don't know why my stomach flips in anxiety. Am I longing to hear him on the phone? Is that why I called him yesterday? I am an idiot.
