I don't know the exact point but I had fallen asleep ! I didn't know when I had fallen asleep or had passed out
My mom's Renee's voice blaring in my ears, brought me back to the land of living once again .
"Bella, baby? wake up. I need you to get up to wash and get dressed "
I was still feeling bitter by the promise my parents had bound me to,so gave her the stink eye ."Mom,why on Earth WILL I get dolled up ?" I snapped at my mom.
She nodded at me and went away from the room before I could plead again to her for second time today .
I shook my thoughts and went to wash I changed into forest green T shirt and black jeans,and I was getting ready after blow drying my hair.
If I can't open my mouth , they can get a peek of real me
I thought while pulling my hair into pony tail ,my usual as i put down the hair brush down after managing the curly locks,
Soon I heard our doe bark sounding doorbell.I let out a large breath as I was trying to myself to calm down , Finally I was going to meet the family of Jacob Black.
After 10 months of first meeting

I still remember the day I first met Bella , it was 10 months back. I was working in one of the reputed MNC, ready to get married.
Lauren had cheated on me in high school, after 1 month of trying to know each other.
After that I had given up dating and focused my attention in my studies
My mom ,Sara,was happy to hear that I agreed to arrange marriage as she wil get a chance to choose her daughter-in-law because my brother's Sam was a love marriage.
We lost our dad ,William black,when I was 10 years old. From then on my mom,Sara, took the responsibility of our household. She has always tried hard to fulfill all our wishes while handling her job at the Doon college. That's the reason why I love and respect her so much.
I didn't want it hurt her in any means because she already suffered a lot in her life .
I always wanted to keep her happy. I got few marriage proposals and I met few girls before seeing Bella but any of those didn't worked out.
One day my mom told me that one of my late dad's friend had suggested a proposal for me and we are gonna meet their family,the Swans, next day.
Next day I came early from office and started to their house along with my mom, sister Rachel and her 1 year old daughter , my brother, sister in law and their 2 year old kid,Ethan. After having introductions about each others family , she came to living room wearing a green top and jeans ;and sat opposite to me.I couldn't see her face as she had bent her head down.
I got an important call, so I went out to attend the call. When I came back I saw my niece sitting on her lap and both of them were engrossed in talking. I cleared my throat to which ,she looked up and our eyes locked. I was mesmerized, I don't know what happened to me.I just rooted to ground staring at her, i came out of trance when she broke the eye contact first.
My family started talking to her and I was observing. The way she was giving answers to my mom's questions nervously and the way she behaved in those 30 minutes. I don't know why but I got attracted to her. I don't believe in love at first sight till then but my opinion changed after meeting her, Bella Swan.
At that time I don't know whether it is love or not but I just wanted her in my life as my wife, that was the only thought in my mind while returning home and I decided to say yes to this proposal. After coming home, my mom asked my opinion and I immediately said yes. She was happy with my decision as she too liked Bella.
Next few days my mom was busy discussing with Bella's parents and to my good luck, she too had said an yes to this proposal.
Within two weeks we were engaged. During our engagement, I tried talking to her but her answers were very short; either yes or no or hmm nothing more or nothing less.
At first I thought something was wrong but later I convinced myself that may be she was shy and nervous as everything happened within few days and it will take time for her to adjust.
Our parents fixed our marriage date that is after 2 months. I know that she worked in software field as well. I want us to get comfortable around each other so I decided to call her and get to know about her likes and dislikes.
But whenever I called her, she told me that either she was busy or else ; she just listened to whatever I am talking and cut the call in 5 minutes. I thought her behavior a little strange and I discussed the same with one of my female colleague at work. She told me that it will take time to get accustomed to new relations and she told me to give some time.
Days were passing, I thought Bella will call me at least once if I don't call I will look too desperate ...so I didn't call her but Bella never called me, either. One day I decided to ask her directly on phone as our families won't allow us to meet in public before marriage, following our mother's custom as they both were Indians.
That day I called Bella again after 10 days .after asking casual questions I asked her, with butterflies floating in my stomach, whether she was happy with this marriage or not.
Bella said that she don't have any problem but was busy with office work and wedding shopping. I told her not to take stress .I informed her that working after marriage is completely her choice as I don't have any problem with her working nor staying at home.
Still my heart was not believing what we had talked ,so I had decided to take help of Rachel,my baby sis to know the truth.
