My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby!

Chapter 45: 45. Unavoidable Situation

Smirthi's PoV

I love him. I love him with all my heart. He is mine. I started to have this feeling from the very first day of my MBA. He was all hot and manly. I knew for sure that he is older than me. Also, I knew that he should be rich. He comes in the car and with his clothes, I can tell that.

I liked him not because he is rich. But being rich is an added advantage. He won’t talk to any of our classmates. He attends only theory classes. Like part time. I know I'm a beautiful girl. There were so many proposals for me from my ug to pg. But nothing interested me. But Rishi has something. He just pulled my heart towards him even without his knowledge.

When some seniors tailed behind me, I asked for his help. I don’t know if he will help me. But I just tried and he did. Rishi should be elder to them too. He is all built. They won’t stand a chance against him. I held his hands when we went close to the seniors. I showed them that I belong to Rishi.

From that day on, Rishi will smile at me whenever our eyes meet. He will talk with me like a known girl. He never spoke to me by himself. He will answer anything I ask. I gradually developed our relationship to friendship.

He is a charmer. Though he looked so tough and serious, his smile is the one I die for. I told him about my family and our financial status. When I shared my personal details with him, his commitment with me grew. He started talking to me on his own. He started to drop me at my hostel after classes. Sometimes he would catch me looking at him. When he does, he will smile at me.

When we were together, we held our hands together. He will sit near me without hesitation. I developed my love for him, and he started to show interest in me. In our final semester, I proposed to him.

"Rishi, I want to tell you something."

"What's it Smirthi? You know, you can tell me anything."

"Rishi, I Love You. I have loved you from the first day I saw you. That is why I sought your help when needed. I want to marry you Rishi. I want to live with you. I want my life with you."

He was shocked!

"Smirthi, I never expected this. But give me some time. I will let you know." he said.

With that he dropped me in my hostel. I called him at night. I couldn't sleep without knowing his answer. I can't live without him. I love everything about him. His manliness, his beard, his scent, his voice, his driving style. God he should be my man. I just want to be in his arms. I just want to sleep on his chest. I should always see him when I sleep and wake up!

"Rishi, I can't sleep." I told him on the phone.

"Smirthi, I don’t find anything wrong in marrying you but I don’t think I am in love with you right now. We can marry but after a year. I have some work to be done before that!" he said.

"Omg, Thank you, Rishi. I love you!" I kissed him on the phone and slept peacefully. He said that he doesn’t love me now. I know he has no feelings for me now. But I can make him fall in love with me. We have 1 year for marriage.

He is a busy man. He strictly told me not to disturb him during weekdays. But he promised to spend his weekends with me. It was very hard for me to stay away from him all week. Since college was over, I could only see him on weekends.

He told me not to even call him on weekdays. I mean, his work is important to me too. It is because of his hard work, he is this rich. I should not disturb him.

During weekends, he would take me to his office. It was a construction company. Almost 100 people work there. I later learnt that Karthik is a partner in this company. He would take me to his boutique. It is in RS puram. Heart of Coimbatore. But everything he sells there are exotic pieces. He sells to fashion show people and some high-end users. Most of the days his shop would be empty. But if he made a sale, that would be really profitable. All of the clothes there, I haven't seen anything like them anywhere. They are simply out of the world. If I marry him, I can try on everything here. I can take anything I want.

I successfully managed to persuade him to take me to his home. But he insisted on meeting his dad and brother in a restaurant first. I wanted to impress them. I took him shopping and got a beautiful saree and all the matching ornaments. I went to the beauty parlour to get myself ready.

I met them. I displayed my very polite and disciplined self to them. I think I won their hearts.

Rishi took me to his home. Wow! That was a palace. I'm so lucky to have seen him. I have to talk to my parents. The sooner the better. I was so in love with him. I didn’t feel bad that he didn’t take me to movies or anywhere usual lovers will go. After college, I moved to my friend's house. One day when he came to drop me, I kissed him. He kissed me back. God , he was so good. I loved it. I decided to flaunt him with my asserts.

That was my first kiss. Though I didn’t know what to do, I initiated. I was so scared that he would push me away. When he kissed me back, I knew his commitment to me. No one can separate us.

We kissed more often, but every time it was me who initiates. He is an introvert. I'm happy until he responds to my kisses. I have deliberately shown my cleavage many a times to tempt him but he never noticed me or had a bad eye for me. Though it hurt me, I was happy that he has promised his commitment to me. I know he stands by his words.

One day when my mom talked about my marriage and alliances, I told my dad about Rishi. He was all angry and shouting at me. He can’t compromise with Rishi's wealth. I called up Rishi.

"Honey! You should answer me a question without asking anything." I told him as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Alright! What's it?" he asked me.

"What is your caste?"

I prayed to all god that I know that he should be my caste. And he was. Even gods are with me. I told dad that he is our caste. My dad finally agreed. But asked me to go and meet my maternal uncle who lives in Coimbatore.

I went to meet him. He asked me about Rishi. I told him everything I knew. When he heard that he is one of the partners of Firm Fort construction, he told me that Karthik was the son of the central minister. Also, he asked me to do a favor for him. Only then he will talk to my dad in a positive way for my marriage to happen with Rishi. So, I agreed to help him.

He wanted to know the quotation amount that Karthik finalizes for the upcoming project. He also owns a construction company. But that is not a big one like Firm Fort. Karthik and Rishi do quotations together on Saturdays. I know that. I had no interest in that so far. If I can eavesdrop, then I will know the amount. I can help uncle and get married to Rishi. It's easy. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

So, I helped him with one project. He got the project by quoting lower than Firm Fort. He, as promised, talked to my dad and made him say ok for the wedding.

Our marriage date was fixed 6 months from now. I spent almost all my time with him shopping for all my dream things. Everything was good and fine until my mama called me again. He asked for the

same help. When I said no, he said he would give me ten lakhs for it.

Wow, big money! Nothing will happen if they lose another project. I mean, with the help of the central minister they can do wonders. With just one government project, they will compensate for this.

I agreed and helped him again. He, as promised, credited ten lakhs to my account. I was so happy. This is the first time my account has so much money in it. I can use it for my wedding. I can even help my dad and mom live in a better place. And 3months after this, he called me again. Again, for the same help. I was starting to feel guilty for doing it to Rishi. But uncle said he will give me 25 lakhs this time.

I told him that this is the last time I'm doing this. He agreed. I helped him again and he credited 25 lakhs to me. I strictly told him not to disturb me anymore. He said he won’t because he got his standards up. So, he won’t be needing any help to his company anymore.

It's my wedding tomorrow. Our reception was all grand. It was like a dream come true. When I cleansed all my makeup and was ready to sleep, I got a phone call. It was an unknown number. Who might call at this hour? I picked it up!

It was a male voice. He said, because of me, Firm Fort construction was going to be bankrupt. He said he has proof that I leaked the quotation amount. I felt all scared and guilty. He even gave me Rishi's lawyer number to check it myself. I took my relative's phone and dialed the number he gave. I asked him what I wanted to know. Everything that the stranger said was true. It's because of me Rishi is facing losses. I never expected this. I betrayed my love. I don’t deserve to live with him.

I decided to go away. If Rishi gets to know that I'm behind everything, he will hate me for sure. I can't live to see hatred for me in his eyes. So, I ran away. I took my parents with me. I can't humiliate them for my deeds.
