Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

I am afraid of heights of all kinds ~ valleys ,mountains rivers,railway station bridges and even relationships make me sick .And today I am gonna experience all of all them.

'Nandini, come fast, we will miss the train! Mom shouts breaking my train of thoughts.

'I would be glad if I could ', I mutter. Putting on my dark brown blazer .

One more addition to my hate list is this goddamned winter season. I am very sensitive to getting a bad cough in this season and I cannot bear the chill.So I have put as many as wollens in my bag as on my body .

Here comes the auto rickshaw

Come,come everyone get inside ,Dad says

What the hell nandini! How many clothes have u stuffed in your bag? It is too much heavy !

Screams Rishab, my brother.

Don't worry. I will take my luggage myself .you don't have to bother about it.

I immediately regretted the sentence after saying it . it is heavy ! Uff.

Soon we are in front of a big- no ,actually a monstrously huge ..railway bridge

Okay I can do this

I try to be a brave girl .I am not going to look down .But the combination of loudly hooting trains and my immense fear of heights makes the situation more horrific.when it comes to heights,I can be a total freak .

Here comes our seat numbers says mom when we board the train.

I take my laptop and climb on to the upper berth. As it is an all night journey, everybody will be asleep soon and I am going to watch the Korean movie MY LITTLE BRIDE. I love romantic Korean movies.

By t he time its 3am. I feel sleepy .but first I have to go to the loo,so I just wait for the train to stop at any station. That's one more addition to my list of phobias ...I cannot go to the loo when the train is moving .Now you must be getting a clearer idea of my freakishness.

I doze of later .then suddenly its raining am I'm all drenched; a wave of water comes to drown me and Im awake!

Holy shit, rishab! Are you out of your mind !it turns out to be a part of my dream ,and rishab was trying to wake Me up by pouring water on my face.

He laughed stupidly and said ,we are almost to reach ambala.

Yes, we are going to our village which is located in ambala. Its always been very exciting for me to go there but this time its a little different .I am going to face my fear of relationships.

We are going to meet Malhotras .and I am sure of the real reason we are meeting they wanted to marry malhotra uncles only son to me .And this son lives with them in their farmhouse . Their family is affluent but I never wanted a man who lives in a remote area and is a farmer . I think he must be barely a graduate.. A narrow minded control freak . Men in villages usually wants housewives not working women .

The train arrives at the station .Coolies are competing to get into the train .Everybody rushes out of the train except me. I am struggling with my bag and suddenly I tumble on to the platform head over heels. Shit !I just fell from the train ! Can I do this any better ?

Before I could manage to get up myself , a hand comes through the crush of bodies to my rescue .without looking at who it was who offered to help me get up, I grab the hand and pul myself up . Having stood up u immediately start brushing my clothes .then I look up to thank the man who helped me ...I'm struck dumb. He is dangerously handsome .

Thank you, that's all I manage to say .
