Chapter 18

SNEHAL

Snehal put the curls behind her ears and adjusted her long entwined hair. She was going to meet Vivek at the Swagat restaurant and wanted to appear beautiful.

She had developed a good relationship with Vivek in one month, and he was more romantic than Ranjit. Working with him had been a pleasure. He motivated her to work hard and win the students’ hearts.

Guilt filled her mind as she hadn’t told him about her engagement. However, she worried about Vivek knowing. At times, Vivek acted like a friend whenever Snehal tried to appease him. Had Arjun or somebody else told him she had been engaged to Ranjit?

She was determined to build a relationship with him, and see how he reacted to her moves. She had only been engaged to Ranjit but hadn’t married him; Vivek might take interest in her as they worked together to build their institution. Working together has no doubt brought him closer to me.

The doorbells jingled. Her mother, in her dark green silk sari, entered. Her gold necklace glittered in the fluorescent light. “What are you doing alone here?” She rolled her curious eyes. She took Snehal in from head to toe. “Are you going out?”

“Yes.” Snehal sounded cordial, not wanting to disappoint her mother.

“Where? Your father might come at any time.”

“Don’t I have any freedom, Mum?” Snehal frowned. “I’ll come back in an hour or so.”

“Yes, you have the freedom. I want to know where you are going.” Her mother sounded curious.

Snehal swallowed. “I’m going to Priya’s home. It’s been more than two weeks since I’ve talked to her.”

“Are you sure you’re going there?”

Snehal bit her lip. She had been lying to her mother ever since she became closer to Vivek. She hoped the relation with her mother wouldn’t be severed. “Trust me, I’m going to see Priya.”

“How are you feeling about Ranjit?” Her mother ran her hand over Snehal’s head. “He is a good person, isn’t he?”

Snehal drew in a heavy breath. She nodded. “Ranjit has gone to Delhi on a business trip. We’re eager to meet when he comes back next week.”

“Did you speak to him over the phone?”

“Yes, I did.”

“You must understand him better.”

Snehal nodded. “But I don’t want to hurry to the wedding.”

Ranjit did ring her in the night, but Snehal avoided answering. She wanted to keep a distance until she was convinced about his mannerisms. Her closeness with Vivek also made her ignore his calls.

“So, are you coming for dinner?”

“I told you, I’ll be back in an hour or so.”

“I’ll tell your Dad the same, and you’re going to have to face him when you come home.”

“Sure. I will.” She walked towards the door. “Please let me go now.”

“Have some coffee.”

“Thank you, I need to go.” Vivek will be waiting for me.

Snehal opened the iron gate of her home and dusted off her vehicle. She started the engine and looked at her pet before racing ahead. The Alsatian dog started barking as she went past her home. She then headed down the main street.
