Ananya Point of view :
The marriage rituals are all over and now it's time for my parents to send me away.. I chuckled at the thought because my mother is dead.. well my father is living but for me he died a very long time ago.. I was standing in the entrance of the Mahal when my eyes found Sarath Uncle and Ashwin.. with some gifts on their hands... I took blessings from them and they passed me the gifts while I stood there confused...
"What is this?" I asked them if they smiled... "I know you are missing My sweet sister in law and I do know that your useless Father will never attend so that's why I am doing this to my Daughter my only daughter.." he said pressing each and every word but his gaze was not on me instead he was smirking . I turned to find a woman standing with her son....
She was None other Than Pallavi .... Mr. Harshvardhan second wife.. (My ex father) with her son.. Mr. Ajmal Vardhan... Her gaze sweeps over mine for a flicker of a second. I see something in her eyes that I couldn't pinpoint ... I mentally took a deep breath and turned towards Arjun's parents"Who Invited them?" I asked them... they both looked at each other and nodded no.. Just when I was going to ask, my sweet husband's voice rang in my ears... "I did .. I thought you would be missing them.. I also did invite your father but looks like he didn't come" he said and my temper rose up to the high while Ashwin sighed and nodded no.. I took deep breaths and calmed myself..
"In the whole world I will miss everyone but not them.. they are no one to me just like I am... I am repeating don't ever do this again, my only family is this.." I said
"Come On .. It's getting late, we should get going.. Anu .. We need to do some rituals so.. don't sleep in the car.." Mom said easing the situation.. I smiled and nodded my head...
I hugged Ashwin lastly when he whispered something in my ears "Does he know?" he asked while I nodded my head in no direction.. He looked at me in shock for a few seconds and then covered it up... "Hurt her Arjun friend or not.. I will kill you with my own hands.." he said in a very cold voice even Arjun was shocked by that.. he nodded his head and then we both entered the car.. my gaze was out of the window.... looking at the fast moving trees.
Unknowingly my hands went to the pendant that my mom gave me... I touched the diamond which she earned from her money and gifted to me... I closed my eyes.. and touched it..
"I don't know what the future holds for me.. but bless me this is an important phase of my life . I am sad you are not here but I know you will be watching me... And I do know you always wish me the best.. whatever it is give me strength.. either good or bad... Please be always with me..." I silently prayed to my Mom and opened my eyes to find Arjun looking at me weirdly...
"What?" I asked in my hoarse since I am so thirsty... "You seem to love that chain.." he said.. I nodded looking at the chain... "It's my mother ... it was her last gift to me.. " I silently whispered.. He didn't say anything after that....
"Arjun?" I called his name and he snapped his head towards my direction.... "Yeah?" his voice merely above whispers.. his gaze was fixed on me... "Why did you Marry me?" at this question he was frozen ...
Before he could respond the driver told us we had reached home. "We will have this conversation in the room.." with which he opened the door for me.. With help I stepped out..
Mom did the ritual while Shreya was grinning before we both could step in...she stopped us... "What Now Shreya?" I whined.. She cleared her throat... "Hello .. I am not your friend here .. I am standing here as your husband's sister so treat me with respect.." she demanded while I rolled my eyes..
"Shreya Ji.. is it okay if I can fulfill your demands later because my friend Shreya chosen this wedding dress for me and stupid her ! It's so heavy and I can't even stand properly.." I said grinning while she looked at me with mouth agape.. I raised my eyebrows at her while Varun chuckled..
"Yeah but you will not enter this house.." she said and my eyes widened after hearing that.. "What?!!" Me and Arjun yelled.. she closed her ears while I was standing there wondering what is going on her little brain
