No Mother-in-law, Please! - Chapter 5 (An Excerpt)


 Excerpt:

           Ravi watched her laugh. Her head was thrown back in gay abandon. Her slender column of throat, ensconced in an elegant pearl necklace…Her glossy mane…Her flawless olive complexion… As she lowered her head and faced him again, he caught her unawares by softly saying, “Lovely eyes!”

          She looked at him shyly as he repeated, “You’ve got lovely eyes. In fact, that was what drew me to your snap. Dark, humorous, compassionate eyes.”

          “Sharon, I somehow know that you will be perfect for me. You’ll be kind to my mother too. My mother is a simple home-maker. While I globe-trot on my vessel, she stays back at Vishakhapatnam, leading a laid-back and calm existence. For her, her home is her world. She has befriended everyone in the neighborhood due to her gentle and kind ways. She won’t even hurt a fly!”

          “I’m sure that she must be a gem of a person like you,” Sharon said boldly. She was irresistibly drawn to the handsome Ravi. She desperately wanted him to say “Yes”. But she didn’t want only companionship. She wanted love. Genuine love. Passionate love.
